Leaked E-mails

On Wendesday 16th November 2005, Perplex City players who had completed the set of four blue hex cards were sent an e-mail congratulating them from the Academy.

However, it seems that the Academy's e-mail system managed to leak some internal e-mails at the bottom of these e-mails sent out to players. Each player so far has received a different e-mail fragment. They are arranged below in date order.

The top portion of the e-mail reads:

"Dear [player name],

Congratulations, you've solved a set of four Perplex City cards. We've rewarded you by doubling your points for each of the cards in the set.

Your Perplex Point total is now [total]. You have solved [x] cards.

We in Perplex City would like to thank you for your continued dedication to our cause. With your help, we are certain that the Receda Cube will be found and returned safely.

Sincerely,
The Puzzle Scribe Team

Perplex City Academy"

So why won't he just allow her to do her Cube research then? It seems a perfectly sensible request - she's head of Natural Sciences, one would have thought it was her field of expertise.

I don't think you appreciate the gravity of the situation. With only a week to go, the entire project could have been compromised. I will need to consider this further.

That today would be a good day to go back home and call in sick a bit later. Fortunately for you, only Von and I are in the office so far to see your telltale fingernails. My advice is, cut them as short as you can and use McWhirter's Reliable Remover. Old fashioned but it works. It was a nice piece of performance theatre, though.

Kurt... asking this because I know Von looks up to you. Do you think you could find some way to let him know that getting coffee for Tippy isn't part of his job description? He doesn't need to be rude, just tell her that he has work to be getting on with. I'll have a word with her privately.

Don't mean to interfere but you know that you don't have to get coffee for Tippy, right? She's perfectly capable of doing it herself.

Could you make time this afternoon for a meeting of the special project team? We would appreciate your expertise in some areas that are concerning us. I'm sure I need not remind you that the existence of this meeting is to be kept strictly confidential. If necessary, I can tell Henrik I need you to assist the puzzle scribes. 5pm?

Tippy. I would appreciate it if you did not refer to Garnet in such a disrespectful way. He has been a member of the defence forces of this city for many years, has assisted in the capture of numerous criminals and has been awarded every one of those "chest full of medals" for distinguished service. When you've done anything so worthwhile, you'll have earned the right to criticise.
