 		Thought I'd take a slightly different approach and see if she just laughs

Dear Ms Grand

Please be very careful in any communication you may be about to undertake.
I am sure I do not have to tell you that your life may be in danger.
Any information you can pass on to us may be able to deflect the attention away from yourself.
Please give us something we can work on ourselves without you having to risk anymore exposure to someone who may want to do you harm.

Hi Monica,

Would it be possible for you to call me so we can speak about the theft of the cube, your situation and how we can help and protect you in the future. My number is 07968620***.

Kind Regards

Chris Martin


Don't you think Monica is likely to be too old for you? Laughing

 		Well, I sent one too. It has a darker undertone, but I hope it gets the message across that we can be mutually helpful.

Quote:

What do you need?

By now, I imagine that you have received many emails from my associates explaining our interest and motivation in contacting you.

If you are, who you say you are; you feared for your life when you contacted Mr. Salk. Are you no longer afraid?
Are you any safer now, that the The Office of the Council plan to review the PCBC's Fivebridge & Remton Consolidated Bank acquisition for flaws in the economic report, and the undoubted limelight that will ensue ?

As a collective intellegence, we have many skills. You've seen an example of our investigative prowess in finding you.
My imperative question is this: What can we do to help *you*?

A good man, Pietro Salk, was murdered trying to assist you. In his last moments of life, he typed into his key,"You must find her before it's too late. You must find out what she knows." I humbly take up that challenge, and I trust that you will respect the edict of a murdered man and provide us the information that you intended to give him.
We want to continue the trail on which you set Salk. We can't be murdered as a result; as he was. They can't reach us here on Earth. Or can they...

Keep safe,
Drizabella Juniorini


I was surprised to get back the old autoresponse because I thought that she would have set up something more secure to receive incoming Earth e-mail. Smile

 		Well, since a lot of you guys decided to take the role of good cop...

Quote:
Ms. Grand:

My associates and I have stumbled across several pieces of damning evidence against you concerning your involvement in the Cube Theft. While we certainly do not wish for you to come to any harm, we are not afraid to use this evidence against you should you fail to cooperate with our investigation. All we seek are a few key pieces of information regarding the Theft and the organization that hired you and your three accomplices. Who hired you? What do they want with the Cube? Why did they transport it here? Who is V?

A honorable man died in his attempt to solve the mystery you set before him. All we want is to make sure his death was not in vain. However, should you find our cause unworthy, I'm sure a letter to the Sentinel and/or Sente Kiteway would change your mind. I wonder how long it would be before the police storm the 157th floor of Ascendancy, swiftly but silently heading for room number 19...but I guess it's not the police who you're really worried about...

Please, don't consider this a threat. Think of it as more of an incentive for you to help avenge Pietro. After all, who knows how long it'll be before someone else dies under such mysterious circumstances.

-Ankit

 		Here is my attempt to appeal more to her emotional side and her conscience:

Quote:
Ms. Grand,

As you have undoubtedly already heard, there are many of us here on Earth who have received information from the late Pietro Salk. We are aware of the money you received as payment to steal the cube. The people here on Earth, my many friends and peers, are quite good puzzle solvers and investigators. We have been able to use this skill to track you down, as per Mr. Salk's final request.
We are aware that you may know some very important information concerning the theft of the cube, but also that the people whom you have dealt with are extremely dangerous. We know, also, that part of you feels these people need to be exposed. You were well on your way to doing a very good thing with Mr. Salk, trying, as cautiously as possible to get your story out in the open.

Those of us here on Earth understand the kind of pain and confusion a great loss can cause. The citizens of Perplex City are in the midst of a very difficult time, and it is important that you know we can relate and understand. It is also important that you understand the opportunity that you have now. While you may not know who we are or have any reason to believe us, you should know that the people of Earth are the frontrunners in the search for the Cube and are getting closer each and every day. Some of the information you have may be instrumental in the recovery of the cube and the punishment of those ultimately responsible for devising such a plan.

Ms Grand, I urge you to think strongly about the chance you have here. You can play a major role in bringing peace and happiness back to Perplex City. Any regrets you have regarding your involvement in this matter can be rectified, if you decide to help us.

We have many contacts throughout the city, and are willing to do anything you require to ensure your protection, security, and privacy.

The choice to make a true difference is yours Ms. Grand. I'm sure you will do what is right.

Sincerely,
Sean and the People of Earth

Careful mate; Gwyneth is gonna kick your ass if she hears you talking like that Wink

Anyway, I thought I'd throw my hat in this ring too, and frankly I'm paranoid and not convinced by her security measures, so I sent this:

Of course, she could just be super-offended (for both reasons), so if I don't post again here I guess you'll all know what happened to me Smile

Quit stalling Monica

And what's with the tone?

"If you email me at monica.grandSPLATperplexcitybankingcorporation.com and I feel that you're worth responding to, I will post the reply here, so I don't have to repeat myself. Now tell me what it is you want and why I should care."

I'll tell you why you should care

We know what you did

We know where you work

We know where you live

We could ruin you!

We want answers Monica

Who are your mates V and C?

Who were you answering to? - and don't say the mysterious "3" people we need more than that.

What did you do with the cube / Who did you give it to once you lot had stolen it?



We want answers Monica

Cough up or we start dropping a few tasty morsels here and there.



Impatiently

Guys, do your research before asking questions, also, it pays to be polite to the scared woman who both fears for her life and has vital information that we all need. The Salk logs tell us that The four people involved didn't know each other. They didn't meet until the night of the robbery.They were known only by their code names/letters and got in, did the job they were paid to do and got out. Only V was in contact with the primary perpetrators.

What we should be asking is details on her role in the robbery. Was she physically present at the moment when the cube was stolen, or was she working to disable security in the other areas. Who is responsible for Frans death? and most importantly, what are reynold ionisers, how are they relevent to the theft, why did Salk mention them in the note in his desk and what connection do they have to the site in Taranga that everybodys favorite 20 year old Dizzy-headed blogger is currently rushing toward?

I'm sorry if I've come across as a bit abrupt, but this really needed saying. Please feel free to throw my words back in my face if I've made any errors. Remember, this is an ARG. When writing, ask yourself if you'd treat a real person who was in this situation in the same way. But above all, have fun trying to make The Advisor spit out the information we want. Smile

hellooo Mr President... ermm..*cough*
come on Monica.. Lewinski? getitgetit.. wait what are you doing nooo..arghhh!!
yeah i sent an email to, pressing enter in gmail does get annoying (esp when you wanted a new line and it sends) anywho i wanted to write more but it sent of so i guess this is all i have:

so here i am, reading all of these eloquent polite concise contrite amusing threatening communiques written by my fellow earthlings to you dearest monica,

and i am beginning to wonder... why should we be seeking your help?
pietro died trying to help you. heck i certainly don't want to walk down that garden path...


cos id prefer to get some answers already, instead of all this dilly dallying. if they wanted her dead, she would be dead by now, if she is being watched then shes being watched, the sooner we find out about what she knows, and the real circumstances involving pietros death then the sooner we can "help".

 		I sincerely hope she doens't reply to that Seej - wouldn't be advisorly of her Wink

Good headway guys - but whenever I go to the bank site - she hasn't updated it yet - same for everyone, or are my firefox navigation skills garbage?

PS: I love how she signed the note at the site "The Advisor"

Heh, that was just a bit of fun to distract from my real question which, if you can figure it out (it's not too difficult), will explain why I felt it was necessary to try to distract from it in the first place.

....and I'm lonely.......

18.34 12 Sept. I have received a large number of emails from your faction. I do not propose to reply to them individually. Many of them, I do not propose to reply to at all. However, Pietro Salk, a man whom I admired and respected, seems to have entrusted you with certain information. That is the reason I am willing to participate in this conversation.

Some of you have emailed me with allegations concerning my involvement in the theft of the Receda Cube. In complete absence of evidence, I do not intend to dignify those accusations with a response. However, I possess certain information which might be of interest to you and am willing to provide it on the same terms which I agreed with Pietro. I will not give up the knowledge I possess simply to be arrested and sent to prison. I need immunity from prosecution and confirmation that I will be provided with police protection. If you on Earth feel you can somehow procure this for me, by all means do so. Otherwise, I'm afraid to inform you that the Perplex City police are unlikely to take seriously a set of wild allegations from a set of people on a different world against a person of some wealth and importance.

As an expression of goodwill, I am willing to answer one of your questions. Yes, I have heard the name Viendenbourg before. In connection with a piece of technical equipment I believe that an ex (now late) acquaintance of mine had in his possession after he arranged for it to be stolen from the Academy.

I must inform you also that I am surprised and aggrieved to discover that my secure connection has been passed from person to person in an underhand fashion, without seeking my permission. I will not respond to any inquiries from individuals who have sent me time-wasting mail concerning irrelevant matters such as the nature of my attire.
