If we're continuing the C list, then please add:

Emily Cahill
Evita Carrick
Sharon Copeland
Rose Cove-Houghton
Shia Cowrie
Cymbalisty (?) (not sure on gender)

and

Edith Coralhouse. Who oddly enough was never mentioned as one of Ruth's relatives.

This will eventually get back to being closer to the topic and where the thread was heading. I'm not 100% sure this is the right place for this but I've been going over the history for while and I think the motivation for the theft might be to bring down the current "politcal party's" control.

As of right now - I'm somewhat partial to Viendenbourg - considering Monica referenced it in "open" communication - but I DO like Reason's explaination of V as Valerian.

Now however, two questions.

First - where did you find the excerpt that said "C was some kind of computer genius"

Secondly - 110% certain Kurt begins with K and not C? <--- I deserve trouting for this, but whatever.

I highly doubt that C would be dead. Computer experts:

A) Don't usually "go in for the steal" with the crooks

B) Have a propensity for being quite useful in tight situations. If Monica wanted C dead, I'm sure C would be dead - but I highly doubt that:
i) Monica set up the backdoor in AP by herself
ii) Monica would be stupid enough to dispose of her resident "geek"

The only thing I can think of that might contradict this logic is Monica might want to get rid of the evidence. I'm sure C's key and "computer" would be full of little bytes here and there that the Academy could trace. Might be as well for Monica to destroy the computer and C as well - to keep her own hide intact.

Somehow I also doubt that C would live in AP, so close to the Advisor. It makes almost as much sense as Monica having two apartments - a regular Monica Grand one and another "nefarious villian apartment" (as someone put it).

Silly Atrophied. I was only joking

On a more serious note however - we've run out of chances to access the data leaks in AP right? Which means they either gave us the name we needed or it is somewhere else.

I'd suggest a massive Sentinal archive check :\ Ill get on it, since Physics is incredibly boring - but I don't think I'll be finished anytime soon, so feel free to jump in :p

OK, these are largely copied from Dictionary.com, but here's some meanings of C;
- Cent (100)
- Third (third best grade, third in the alphabet, etc.)
- Musical note (middle C)
- Celsius/Centigrade
- Charmed quark
- Coulomb (unit of charge)
- Cytosine (DNA base pairs are A, T, C and G)
- Copyright
- Constant (in maths, e.g. when integrating something without limits)
- Circumference
- A programming language (incidentally, there's also C++, the name of which is a joke so direly geeky I'm going to spare you the explanation)
- Carbon
- The speed of light
- Capacitance
- Carat (unit of mass when weighing precious stones)
- Circa
- Calorie

These are the most obvious ones. Of course, maybe we need to know more about what exactly it stands for (we'd never have got Quercus just from Q) but I just feel like we're supposed to be solving this one. Hope this gives someone a lightbulb moment.

[tanner]

i have been half considering Sente - CENT(e) -- but not seriously

[Arashi]

I'm just browsing the Wiki right now, reading everything I can find.

This sounds like someone is screwing with us however.

Under the Wiki entry of "theft" there's this.

What codename do we have for the Advisor?

She was K, which we tie to Grand, so was her codename Kilo? I don't think so. It would seem to me that each member designed their own codename, but didn't necessarily have a specific word related to them with it. I have to say that I thought C picked her code because it was her name. If they just happened to coincide, I don't think Monica would have made such a big deal out of it.

Of course, if I'm wrong, it might show some naïveté on C's part, using a codename that is so closely associated to her real name. Perhaps someone young and inexperienced.

All of this is just speculation, this is my first ARG...

[GuyP]

I don't think they have codenames, so to speak. I got the impression that The Advisor's observations (Quercus, etc) were after-the-fact speculations on how they'd come to choose their codeletters. So while each member may have had something in mind to pluck an initial from (play on name, actual surname, and so on) I'm not personally of the opinion that they were known by anything other than Q, C, K and V.

U's on first.
