Isn't it a bit weird that the pic of the Leitmark is an actual photgraph rather than a drawing? Maybe it's just people that are drawn, oh and buildings too.

Any thoughts???

I think this article might be published in order to inform any "stragglers" who hasn't understood the concept of the game and the cards - as anyone finding out about PPC right now would have a lot of reading to do...

Or perhaps to clarify that the Cube is not just a reward, but serves a higher point as well - apart from being relevant to the story, I mean.

Or on the other hand, perhaps not.

It still doesn't seem logical that they say the Cube can't get back...What could cause it to COME here, without being able to bring it back? What would be the point of some one from Perplex City sending it to Earth if they couldn't get it back? It is just...odd.

well we know our emails get back to PC somehow, so _something_ from earth can get to PC... as far as physical objects go it could be a one way gate or the cube could have been a key to transport matter and they don't want to tell us that yet since it would mean giving us access to more advanced tech. As far as them not being suprised that the cube is here they have been hearing that song and dance from the academy for atleast a year now so they're over any shock there was.

oh oh maybe the fridge magnets are polarizing space time to create a one way gate in the same way that diodes are basicly a oneway electircal gate and out email can get back to the sentinel because like diode it can allow a small amount of return current(data) but not a large amount ...

^ complex scifi-ish eplination above \/ simple analagy below

like a one way mirror

... but anyway we can make up all kinds of zany excusses as to why the cube got here and can't get back.
