Meeting is utterly out of the question at this time. I do not require payment. The information I would provide you with regarding the Five of Cups is merely a demonstration of good faith. I guarantee that I can give you the biggest story of your career, provided you can arrange with your high-level police contacts that I am kept safe and immune from prosecution. | Meeting is utterly out of the question at this time.

It would be very unusual for me to be able to do what you suggest. The Sasazi case was an extremely high-profile and significant one, in which Ada Sasazi provided full documentary proof of Trent's guilt. She herself was only tangentially involved in the crime in any case. | It would be very unusual for me to be able to do what you suggest.

I cannot do that at this time. But believe me, this case is bigger than Sasazi. | |||
In any case, here is my demonstration of good faith, that my information can be trusted. | |||
I suggest the police carefully examine every inch of that bar for anything that might be concealed using an EM baffler. Come back to me when you've found it. I must emphasise that you are not to inform the police of where this information came from and the Sentinel must not mention that it was involved in discovering it. It must appear that the police stumbled on it by chance. | |||

Mr Salk, this story is much bigger than some sordid little fencing scam (although I rather suspect that that is what Mr H had got himself involved in). Are you willing to give me your assurance that you will assist me? That you will negotiate with the police on my behalf? I can promise you the biggest scoop of your life. But I cannot give over my information until I have immunity from prosecution and total protection of my identity. | |||

Memo: Makes no sense. Cubeheads want the Cube, of course. But then why would H have had to be *hired* to steal it? Can't have been hired by his wife, surely? By the Cubeheads? TA will not say. Says it is too dangerous. | |||

No. It was a "gift" via a one-time key. Someone bought a cheap key from a big store and transferred Lecks to it. As if they were going out clubbing for the night, you know, they way young people do when they don't want to risk damaging their expensive stylish key. That money came to me and, if they're sensible, they'll have physically destroyed the intermediary key and added a whole bunch of obfuscatory routing and encryption to stop people to following the trail. It was probably more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Anyway. No. No evidence apart from a large transfer. | |||

Memo of conversation with police contact HF. Says goods recovered from 5ofC include a Reynolds ionizer and three Klebold plates. *What* would anyone need three Klebold plates for? HF says no security application. Serial numbers demonstrate were stolen after 1 Jan 2005. By whom? Seems unlikely it was BH. | |||

You know what? I'm scared too. More scared than you are. You don't know anything. A few dusty references in books, a few conversations with me. Delete them from your key and there's nothing to link us together. But they could be coming for me any time. And you know enough now to understand that they're everywhere. So excuse me if I took a little time to find out some things about you before making contact. Excuse me if I wanted to make sure you weren't slipping off to have secret meetings with an ancient, shadowy organisation. My life is on the line here. | |||

Quite quick compared to cancer, Pietro. Think of a degenerative brain disease, speeded up. All the fun of the fair, in a fraction of the time. Knowing that you're losing yourself, being unable to stop it from happening. Sudden flashes of brilliance. Rages, despairs. Consciousness of your own slow degradation. It's not the most painful death in the world, but it's not pleasant. | |||

From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Five of Cups Mr Salk You do not know me, but I have followed your career on the Sentinel with interest. I was particularly impressed by your work on the Sasazi case. I recall that Ada Sasazi was able to escape prosecution entirely due to her frankness with you and her willingness to provide evidence which led to the arrest of Theo Trent. I believe there are one or two facts which the police may have overlooked in their investigation of the recent Five of Cups murder. I am not in a position to reveal my identity at this time, but may do so in the future. Would you be interested in learning what I know? An Advisor |
http://salkfamily.com/thereisnosoundbutthatofmyfootstepsonthefloor/
|
Date: 6 May 2005 1.38pm From: Pietro Salk To: The Advisor Subject: Re: Five of Cups Dear "Advisor" Of course The Sentinel would be interested in any light you can shed on this case. Would you want payment in return for information? It would be helpful if we could meet and discuss this face-to-face. Pietro |

| nDate: 6 May 2005 1.52pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Re: Re: Five of Cups Mr Salk Meeting is utterly out of the question at this time. I do not require payment. The information I would provide you with regarding the Five of Cups is merely a demonstration of good faith. I guarantee that I can give you the biggest story of your career, provided you can arrange with your high-level police contacts that I am kept safe and immune from prosecution. An Advisor |

|
Date: 6 May 2005 2.36pm From: Pietro Salk To: The Advisor Subject: Re: Re: Re: Five of Cups Dear Advisor It would be very unusual for me to be able to do what you suggest. The Sasazi case was an extremely high-profile and significant one, in which Ada Sasazi provided full documentary proof of Trent's guilt. She herself was only tangentially involved in the crime in any case. Why don't you tell me what case we're talking about? I can have a word with a few trustworthy people I know in the police, and I'll see what they think, without revealing your identity. Pietro |

| nDate: 6 May 2005 3.14pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Five of Cups I cannot do that at this time. But believe me, this case is bigger than Sasazi. In any case, here is my demonstration of good faith, that my information can be trusted. I suggest the police carefully examine every inch of that bar for anything that might be concealed using an EM baffler. Come back to me when you've found it. I must emphasise that you are not to inform the police of where this information came from and the Sentinel must not mention that it was involved in discovering it. It must appear that the police stumbled on it by chance. |
|
Date: 10 May 2005 10.08am From: Pietro Salk To: The Advisor Subject: OK, I'm convinced Frye says they would almost certainly never have found it without you - the hiding-place was perfect; even the devices used to conceal it were concealed themselves. It seems like you've helped uncover a plot to steal tech from the Academy and fence it off! How did you know that? Who are you? Are you Jessica Holyoke? |

| nDate: 10 May 2005 10.12am
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Re: OK, I'm convinced Mr Salk, this story is much bigger than some sordid little fencing scam (although I rather suspect that that is what Mr H had got himself involved in). Are you willing to give me your assurance that you will assist me? That you will negotiate with the police on my behalf? I can promise you the biggest scoop of your life. But I cannot give over my information until I have immunity from prosecution and total protection of my identity. |

| nDate: 28 May 2005 3.32pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Money No. It was a "gift" via a one-time key. Someone bought a cheap key from a big store and transferred Lecks to it. As if they were going out clubbing for the night, you know, they way young people do when they don't want to risk damaging their expensive stylish key. That money came to me and, if they're sensible, they'll have physically destroyed the intermediary key and added a whole bunch of obfuscatory routing and encryption to stop people to following the trail. It was probably more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Anyway. No. No evidence apart from a large transfer. |

They're ruthless. They're true believers. But they'd have acted by now. Not played some ridiculous game with the city. Not taken it to Earth. |

Camping
| nDate: 14 June 2005 12.35pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Idle question Do you have a favourite tree? |
|
Date: 14 June 2005 12.38pm From: Pietro Salk To: The Advisor Subject: Idle question Umm.... hmmm, never really thought about it. Maybe birch trees? A park near my parents' house when I was growing up used to have a lot of birches and they always look kind of cheerful to me - sprightly. Why do you ask? |
| nDate: 14 June 2005 12.41pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Idle question I'm just in the arboretum right now, pretending I'm in a forest. Thinking about whether I have a favourite. |

| nDate: 14 June 2005 12.43pm

The Minder
| nDate: 16 June 2005 5.15pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: <no subject> I have just returned home. I was at our agreed meeting place. I told you to come unaccompanied. Did you think I wouldn't spot your minder? |
http://salkfamily.com/ineverseehernotevenaglimpseofhercloak/
|
Date: 16 June 2005 5.42pm From: Pietro Salk To: The Advisor Subject: Re: <no subject> I *was* unaccompanied! I don't know what you saw or what you thought you saw, but I didn't take anyone with me, didn't even tell anyone where I was going. I'm sure there must be some kind of mistake - I didn't have a "minder". I came alone. |
| nDate: 16 June 2005 5.46pm
From: The Advisor To: Pietro Salk Subject: Re: Re: <no subject> Don't try to play these games with me. Dark-skinned man, knew how to handle himself, sitting in a leather armchair near to the cluster of birch trees. Arrived about 20 minutes before you, took up a place where he had a perfect view of the proceedings, pretended to be reading the newspaper. Don't think I can't spot another professional. |

And do you really think that *The Sentinel* would be able to set up some smooth professional minder to protect me? They just fired someone for being a member of a perfectly legal religious group! They just don't care about their staff that much. |

I know which building you live in. I know what you look like. All they'd have to do is throw a cordon round the basement levels and work their way up. You're hardly going to escape out of the window, after all! Couldn't this just be perfectly understandable paranoia? We know that the danger you're in is real. That guy was probably just a fitness instructor on his lunch hour or something. |

16 June 2005 Walked past an open door of a shop just now and caught a scent that reminded me of her perfume - something like fresh-cut grass. Someone once said to me that any relationship, sexual or not, which you would not want your wife to find out about is an affair. I keep thinking about that now. |

Question: How were the four recruited? TA says that they were contacted individually. Did not know each other until the night. Question: Didn't that pose identification difficulties? TA says no. V knew who they all were. Question: Who is V? TA will not say. |
|
<recording begins> Well, we've already discussed Q, haven't we? Quercus. I suppose it's sort of clever. I was K. C was some kind of software-genius; I think that C was the initial of her real surname - foolish of her. And V. I can't tell you. V's dangerous. Really dangerous. <recording ends> |
