Hesh to Launch Viard Album on Earth
By GARIMA KING

Hesh Records stunned the city on Wednesday when it announced that the banned Viard album, The Silver City, will be released after all -- on Earth. Hesh spokesman Kai Cinelli said that the company had reached an accord with Earth company Mind Candy to provide the contraband music to an Earth audience only. Cinelli did not indicate the date that the album would become available on Earth, though he did say that it should be "within weeks."

The move has touched off a firestorm of criticism from both the City Council and from the citizens who had worked to ban the album in Perplex City in the first place. "This is an absolute outrage," said council leader Camryn Scott. "It's clear from this that Hesh is interested only in following the letter of the law, while abusing the spirit in which it was made."

Author Clark Wooster, who was a pivotal player in convincing the council to look at this issue, agreed with Scott's statement. "Unleashing this dangerous music upon the people of Earth is just as ill done as it would be to release it in the city," Wooster said. "is this how we want to reward all of the people who are helping search for the Receda Cube? By exposing them to the irresponsible works we wouldn't allow to harm our own citizens?"

Cinelli repeated previous defences of the album, saying that "the effects are well-documented and unlikely to cause any serious harm." He also pointed to the leeway given to other artists, such as Randal Tokei, who was permitted to construct and then burn a structure in Azad Park. "How is lighting a giant fire in the middle of a public park less dangerous than allowing another artist to exercise his freedom to express himself through music?" Cinelli asked. "There's definitely not an even standard being applied here. ... Nobody is forcing any individual to listen."

Sources at Mind Candy were unreachable for comment; Academy sources declined to speak to the Sentinel about their Earth agent's involvement. Viard himself was, as typical, also unavailable for comment.

War Exhibit Details Released Amid Outcry
By WILHELMINA BEST

The Academy Museum today released details of its soon-to-open war exhibit. The fiercely-protested exhibit is scheduled to open to the public on Monday. New information from sources close inside the museum indicates that the controversial material to be put on display includes a wide range of literature and artefacts from the period, including many from non-Perplexian regions.

Some of the materials include letters, diaries, and official orders from such famous names from the period as Commander of the Perplex City Forces Rifa Woad; Vianne Adamek; Anthony Granier; Vikram Castellan; and Estelle Desine. These items were culled from Academy and city archives, and even from a few private collections.

Museum curator Anja Marlowe said that she is particularly pleased with how the exhibit has pulled together. "All of these things pulled together really tell us a moving story -- each one has a tale to tell," she said. "I think this information is really crucial to figuring out what Perplex City is and how it was shaped."

SILVER CITY

Thank goodness the council has finally seen sense and banned 'The Silver City.' The idea of our children's minds being subconsciously altered is disgusting and reprehensible. I can only hope that this ban will be followed up with an investigation into how Hesh Records could be allowed to get so far as to actually produce such a record before the authorities stepped in.
Alan Philips

I was shocked to hear the City Council has banned 'The Silver City.' Here on Earth we already believe certain types of music can alter brain activity, such as improving a baby's intelligence by playing classical music to them before they are born. Must we ban all music before it's released in case it alters our way of thinking? Or how about films or theatre, paintings or books? Any of those could change the way we think and feel and act. For that matter, let's stop anyone having an opinion as that might change someone's mind or even, heaven forbid, cause an argument.

YET ANOTHER ENIGMATIC WARNING

What a surprise, another celebrity murder leading to another million-leck book deal. Does Michael Corolla have no decency? I'm sure his book will tell of all the trauma and pain he's been through, and how he's had to struggle with his feelings in deciding whether or not to tell the world every intimate detail of his fiancee's life and brutal death. Somehow, his heart and bank account were able to guide him to making the 'right' choice.

 		Good Morrow!
I realise, of course, that this has been said before, and, in fact, more than once. It is my duty, however, to point out once more that K went to the trouble of criticising C for using an initial as her code name; it seems more likely, then, that MC is throwing out names of people and place beginning with the significant letter merely as a mind game, as it were. While it is true that V is a somewhat uncommon letter with which to begin one's name, 'Viard' is by no means the only such name: Viendenbourg and Valerian Reynolds spring readily to mind. Also, Viard seems to be a sort of shadowy, mysterious figure, which is not the sort of position V would wish for himself were his intent in holding secondary employment to avoid public scrutiny; moreover, the 3P operatives mentioned that V is in possession of a boss of some sort, and Viard does not, though admittedly there is little evidence as yet to support this statement, seem to fit into that sort of hierarchy.
Who knows, you may be right...It is, after all, 4:00 AM here... Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee
Edit: Vianne and Vikram are 'V names,' too..............

 		How did you come up with the newest edition of the Seninel? I live near Boston so I don't think it's a time zone thing, but I can't get updates on the paper, Scarlett Kite, etc. I'm new to all this ARGness and I'm fairly computer illiterate so I bet it's just me. Can someone help?
A thousand thanks ahead of time:
Brian

 		Alternatively, you may be suffering from a lazy ISP.. in which case you can use a proxy such as http://www.anonymouse.org to browse the sites.

 		Another tip to try is when hitting "Refresh" (or F5, which is the shortcut for it) hold down the Ctrl button, which should force it to reload the page, rather than use a cached version.

 		Also, Brian, if you've bookmarked an entry in, say, Scarlett Kite, you'll always find yourself in the old entry. . . I know that sounds like a really dumb move, but I made it myself (verifying that it is a dumb move).

 		Does your space key not work Wink
So what are your views based on anyway? Where did you hear the album, when it seems to have passed everyone else by?
