I guess... probably would have tried harder for a place on the permanent staff at the PCAG? Or maybe the Mimasan? Yeah, I always dreamed about that when I was a kid. You know, *working* on the Mimasan Maze, devising new routes...  
From what you say, it's a pretty nice apartment. But, yeah, it's a bit odd. Less odd for Ascendancy Point people than for us mortals. You can get *everything* delivered, after all.

Laugh if you like. When I was a child, I wanted to work with trees. I used to go out to Rudon Forest on weekends, and think how good it'd be to be able to be there all the time. You know, somewhere that quiet. With these huge trees, that were alive long before we were born, and will be around long after we die.  
No, just come now and meet me.

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.

That's your evidence?
I don't know why I'm telling you this except, I suppose, maybe the information could save your life. I have a backdoor hack into the Eclipse Security heat sensor system for the few floors around my apartment, as well as server room 4. Just in case. Just to see what's going on. Just to make sure I know who's here. Anyway. If you need it, it's there. You'll find it via the usual AP site, and the username and password should be obvious. Just in case.

I guess... probably would have tried harder for a place on the permanent staff at the PCAG? Or maybe the Mimasan? Yeah, I always dreamed about that when I was a kid. You know, *working* on the Mimasan Maze, devising new routes...

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.
So what did you want to do?

Laugh if you like. When I was a child, I wanted to work with trees. I used to go out to Rudon Forest on weekends, and think how good it'd be to be able to be there all the time. You know, somewhere that quiet. With these huge trees, that were alive long before we were born, and will be around long after we die.

It's getting too risky and I'm sure you know it. Sylvia was looking for some files on my key today and got way too close. In any case, she's suspicious about what I've been doing with my time lately. I can't risk her getting hurt. It's time to end this.

Codenames "V", "Q", "K" and "C", were hired to do the Theft. They are tied to the deaths of Fran Mendling, Bernardo Holyoke, Pietro Salk, Monica Grand, Isaac Cymbalisty, Anna Heath --- but someone else got to The Cube first. Who? And Why?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Yes. You're right. I'm afraid, that's all. I know they're watching me.

I've had an idea; why don't we meet in my building on Solstice Day? There's going to be a huge celebrity wedding here, so the place will be crawling with people. Even more so than usual. We might go unseen.

Yes. Let's meet then. As long as you're up, you should go out, take a walk in the park, enjoy the trees.

Yes, alright, you're right. I'll go now. It's so early, nothing can happen.

I can't. I got down as far as the atrium, but I had to come back. I couldn't. I just felt that everyone was watching me, even the few people who were around - the guy cleaning the floor, the woman at the front desk. I just can't.

Post-Amble

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.

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.

You must find her before it's too late. You must find out what she knows.

Sylvia, I love you, I love you.
