Yeah, It just seemed to fit too well. They could refer to this person throughout the game in a fictional sense, but I guess it woul dhave the potential for pissing S Marchant off - if we all started contacting her/him about the cube!

I agree...in vid voice-over they studied our past and our present...no mention of anything else.

I'm going to have to disagree with the London and Yorkshire as the nicest places on earth. NYC gets that title. Assuming of course you are wealthy enough to live in a fabulous apartment, vacate the isle of manhattan often, and hire people to take care of all the day to day stuff that eats up more time in this city than anywhere else on the planet (aka laundry and things like going to the bank, or god forbid actually having to go grocery shopping).

By the way, I don't possess any of those three aformentioned traits. <sigh> still a great town though.

i'm sure we all have places we love --- personally i love where i live (sector 3421 -- arcturian quadrant) but i'm not sure it has any relevance to perplexcity

I think what we're seeing in the GateHouse logs is Henrik showing up to work, and S Ling returning from a research shift/expedition while AT work.

Lyssa was waiting for S when s/he arrived, and was not daydreaming of her encounter with James. Perhaps they are those who are involved in finding the cube, as opposed to just researchees in general.

It can be construed from the email exchange between four women that they go to other worlds and research things. They can time travel to some extent - but they don't seem to have precision. And they can only cover so much ground. They're like an 'away team' on Sliders, with a touch of Charlie's Angels thrown in for cliche.

What I see from your speculation is that someone was able to utilize these resources. If the cube was stolen during the ball then anyone with knowledge of the cube could have done it. To me this includes not only guards, researchers, management and masters of the Academy, but anyone they may have encountered in an alternative timeline/world. If knew the ball was on a certain interstice in time, and could maneouvre there through antient science and seize the cube (ball/cube) then it would be possible for a Lex Luther or Moriarity-type character to have collected the cube - either through self-genius, or in collusion with Academy staff and privilleged individuals.

Someone could go back and save Fran.

They don't quite seem to have been able to travel to where the Beston Cellars are, but they know some things. Our Earth is further down the timeline from that unsucessful research in both their world and ours, so they sent messengers here, now.

Our attempt to create a timeline is like a plate of spaghetti. I suggest we just consider the cube a portal. As the old expression goes "Possession is nine-tenths of the Law." So too it would then be that simply knowing where on Earth to be would resolve this ARG.

they solved it for us -- a different planet.

so my spec about the name 'syzygy':
it's definitely the astrological term. the planets in a syzygy are "together". this means, that us, earthmen and all those perplexians have to work together.

funny thing, that they knew about us all the time, but we didn't. and they also have things in common - see month names. so... is it possible, that they once were a group of earthmen, and for now, they've become a completely different... err... that word. i'm too sleepy to think.

Interesting, perhaps the cube was stolen by people from yet another reality

[kelsey_requiem]

the third one is the sun. the center. nothing inhabitable. see what im getting at?
