 		[UPDATE] Sentinel, June 3rd 2005
View from Earth: Surprise Solidarity
By CARYATID
Personally speaking, I'm surprised by the level of interest in finding the Receda Cube on Earth. I can however empathise with the questioning of some Perplexians of our ability to help. I agree, at first it does seem somewhat ludicrous; a huge and eclectic group of people, brought together with one common goal -- to retrieve an object and return it to people never even heard of before.

I was lucky enough to join the masses of people on earth ready to look for the Cube early and have viewed our growing ranks with both surprise and elation. As one of the younger people attempting to help the retrieval effort, I have often trouble balancing outside requirements and doing my best to help in the quest as best I can. However, one of the best things about our group is the community atmosphere. If one person needs to catch up, others will willingly paraphrase all that has been missed to make sure everyone is up to date. More and more people are welcomed into our ranks daily and we have resources to help them, many of our number updating databases regularly and with dedication.

Earth can be stereotypically seen as a place where physical achievements far outrank the mental and where people would far rather watch a game of sport than work out mental problems, whereas those whose talents lie more in the intellectual regions can be ostracised or disregarded because of that. Recently though, as I have been going about my daily life, I've been hearing whispers.

People are spreading the word of the Receda Cube and Perplex City. Each day more and more people know and are logging online to find out more. They genuinely want to help. This behaviour is not, although it may seem so, an attempt to endear ourselves to you. In fact, I'm more surprised than anything at the sheer goodwill that so many people have for you.

I would be less surprised if people had immediately noted our differences and acted upon them, building walls between us and making the situation far more difficult than it is at present. Such walls have been built before on Earth through lack of understanding. And yet, word of the missing Receda Cube has spread like a fever from person to person. We come from all backgrounds, all races, and all religions. We all work together on solving puzzles. We laugh together. We weep tears of pure frustration together. We stay up into the small hours, together. And then we start it all again.

Whilst many of you may dismiss us as "an Earth-dwelling rabble of ad hoc Cube-hunters" (and I know that not all of you think that of us) you may want to consider and then treasure the affinity that many citizens of earth feel for Perplexians, despite the somewhat fractured affinity that is often returned. You could do far worse.

Stadium Foes Rally
Opponents of the Triple Wheel Stadium have renewed their efforts to shut down competition. Although the stadium has made some token efforts at noise and crowd control, neighborhood representatives say, these motions have been both ineffective and incompetently executed.

 		Ho, ho, ho! Well done. My submitted 'view from Earth' article was, in fact, rather the opposite - a coruscating and abrasive piece about how throughly disillusioned I felt us Earth folks were becoming with our ever - growing awareness that Perplexian society is far from lily white at heart, what with its drugs problems, celebrity obssessed media and criminal underbelly. Perhaps they're strategically refusing to print it...we shall see Twisted Evil
