Revision as of 06:17, 24 March 2006
General
- When the game began, there were many references to "MC", which proved very confusing to players
- Named on the Perplex City Postcard as "MC"
- Abbey Road clues mention "MC"
- Scarlett Kiteway often mentions "Adrian/Michael/the guys from MC", and usually talks about contacting them (including through e-mail). Seems to indicate that MC is the location/organization of Sente's and the Academy's contacts on Earth.
- Parcel Letter confirms 'MC' stands for 'Mind Candy', a Earth-based company helping Sente with the recovery of The Cube.
- Mind Candy were at E3 on 18 May 2005 and the American International Toy Fair in New York on 15 Feb 2006
