 		[TROUT] Sentinel Article 03/05/05
Receda Cube Recovery Plan Unveiled
By IONA RODIE
Academy Master Sente Kiteway's plans for retrieving the Receda Cube were finally unveiled today. Speaking at a press conference, spokesperson Valerian Reynolds confirmed that Kiteway is releasing a card-based puzzle game on Earth, not unlike some of our own PCAG games, with a point system for prestige and ranking. Some of these cards have now been released to 333 individuals on Earth as a limited-edition preview.

"The objective of this game is threefold," said Reynolds. "First, we need to attract attention to our situation, to better our odds of locating the Cube. Second, we have to inform the people of Earth about ourselves and our culture. Third, we hope that this game will encourage the people of Earth to take a playful approach to the problem, leading to more creative thinking."

Letters from the people of Earth to the Sentinel have betrayed confusion; some Cube-seekers appear now to believe that the Cube is merely a "reward" to be awarded to the searcher who accrues the most points. "Even Sente's most vocal opponents don't seriously believe he knows where it is now, and is somehow concealing it," agreed City Council Leader Camryn Scott. "It's simply unthinkable."

It remains to be seen, however, whether Sente's players will be able to locate the Cube based on the information released in these cards and in the increasing number of Perplex City web sites available on Earth. "Why does Sente believe the people on Earth can solve a mystery that has eluded our own police? However much they find out about us from this game, why should we think they'll be able to use that information to find the Cube?" asked City Councilor Kyra Anghanda.

Reynolds was bullish in the face of criticism regarding shroud of secrecy that the Academy has thrown over the project. "The fact remains that the thief or thieves are still at large in our city," she said. "We do not know to what lengths they may go to subvert our aims; we had to keep our plan secret here in the city until we were ready to reveal it to the people of Earth, and we make no apology for having done so. ... We have had to overcome significant technological barriers, and we have many yet to come," she added.

Reynolds admitted that, even if the Cube should be located, the means to transport it back to Perplex City is not available. "We will rest easier simply knowing it is in a safe place on Earth," she said.

The Receda Cube was stolen from the Academy Museum over a year ago, and subsequently traced to Earth. Master Kiteway has been under significant political and public pressure both to retrieve the Cube, and to release details surrounding his plan to do so.
