[EDIT: That was weird, the update didn't show up - does now though]

One of these includes:
James Lyon wrote:
So desperate are we on Earth to find the Cube that we've even resorted to thinking that the Academy has implanted hidden messages in the words and pictures of the very Sentinel itself. Ridiculous, surely? However, such brutal dissection of the information you provide is confounded by the fact that we don't know what we're looking for in the first place.
I'm wondering if this means there's something more there now, since they included this, or if it's just a preparation? There is foreshadowing all over the futures: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mentioned, along with numerous things like "find solves faster" and "It will all start to make sense before long."
Looks like we could be in for an interesting week...

Five Arrested During Northside Protest
They don't want development but city council does. Maybe the Ascendancy Point building is as big as it is for a reason. Sparse or specially controlled land? It looks totally like concerned citizens, but I'm willing to wager there's more going on.
If council adopts the right to develop the land - what will be lost? Maybe we should ask for an exposé of the Northside Preserve?

I see that Keenan Thoreau of Roll For Damage was arrested at the protest. Something tells me RFD is shaping up to play an important part in this story...

You're obviously in for a spanking.

The protesters were arrested before they actually did anything! Also, the 'civil disobedience'? They seem to take things very seriously. In Britain, this could be a breach of your human rights couldn't it? e.g. the right to assembly

i was thinking the cops did pretty well. I'm kind of thinking we are seeing a sort of polite regard to peacable assembly. They intervened when things did indeed start getting rowdy. And where, in a fFull-on fFascist state or whatever, protesters would be rounded up and jailed, here we see the people were arrested when they started getting rowdy, and soon released in a swift and sane orderly manner. In other words, the police are not unreasonable bastards.

Yeh, but they did arrest the leaders - not the people who were causing any trouble. One witness even says, "The worst we saw was a bit of a scuffle where some guys who'd been drinking started shouting at us and calling us names" - which wasn't even the protesters themselves.

By the way, did anyone catch this bit:

something that started out yellow? what does that mean? at the risk of stirring some catastrophic fFirestorm of absurd speculation: does "started out yellow" intend to suggest color is displled fFrom the perplexian world fFor some reason? Seems quite unlikely .. but what a curious wording!
