I think guy has nailed it on the head here, there probably isn't anyone to go see, so why design the network in the first place? So far Scarlett has just mentioned empty buildings on her travels, and the occasional mountain that may or may not walk out into the road and block their way!

Out of interest, has anyone actually just asked one of our contacts in Pereplex City to just send us a map of their planet? Surely this wouldn't be too out of place as they are trying to engage our curiosity in general for finding the cube?

Personally, I'm enjoying the image of MC staff running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to create a world-view map of the Perplexian planet.

And then, just when Kurt's getting ready to send us a super duper 3D holographic globe of Perplex World, a 3P agent comes in and kills him...along with anyone else from Perplex City who we ask to send a pictoral representation of their world. And thusly, MC will teach us to think twice before asking for maps.

If I remember, I'll buzz an email off to him when I get home from school. I like the "everyone email so they can't ignore" idea.

I don't really see how they would know what the Perplexian planet looks like. They might have a very old-style map, but not a modern one(considering that Perplex City doesn't want to acknowledge what the world outside is like now that they have evapourated everyone else). From what we know, Scarlet is the first person in ages to really start exploring (judging from her reactions to what she is seeing). They marvel at our planes, so they probably haven't seen it from the sky on a grand scale. They must have some method of flight however, as card #80 Cruel and Unusual says

You know, it's actually interesting how similar our worlds are, and at the same time, how different they are. I guess people are very much the same no matter where you, and everybody wants to find, you know, somebody to love, and they care about their families and their homes. On the other hand, there are some big things that we find very different, for example, you have a focus on physical sports, and while we do have and enjoy physical sports, we're primarily concerned with intellectual sports, particularly with puzzle solving. For example, we're really impressed by your air travel, of all thing, because while we do have the power of flight, we don't have anything like your commercial airline networks and it's just really strange to us to see that somebody could hop aboard an airplane and end up halfway around the world in just a few hours pretty much any time they wanted to.

Anyway, I'd promised the guys that I'd get maps for our trip to Tanraga, so I bought the most detailed, most close-up ones I could; downloads for my key as well as paper maps.

When Scarlet was first planning her trip to Viendenbourg she mentioned that the current highly-detailed maps of the area didn't have it on there. That would lead me to believe that they definitely have the capability to produce maps of at least the greater perplex-city area and probably the entire continent at the very least.

To me, that would indicate that the military is the only entity dealing with flight.
