What my mind is starting to think is that we might be wittnessing a power struggle within the third power. The cube was stolen before V's group got there.

What's with the song title? 'Too Much Love Will Kill You' It's a song by Queen, at a pinch the lyrics could apply to V, but what did Monica's murder have to do with love? Unless he thinks she loved Pietro, in which case it would make sense... he thought her unstable because of love.

This leads me to the conclusion this tape was never meant for us it was designed to scare someone off, maybe C. It all fits, the message is designed to tell the 3P person that they're watching them, and the title means 'this is what happens if you let your feelings get in the way', the whole thing is designed to scare someone off messing with them.

Could well be, apart from the fact there is evidence to suggest that claire has been kidnapped by the 3P. Maybe Scarlett's next post will shed more light.

So we're now thinking:

a) Cyrus is V / or at least "bad", and the whole point of the exercise was to frame Helena Frye and sabotage the Gillet Road deal, with the recording just a "Ha! Thought you'd found me!" dealio;

b) Cyrus is good, and Helena actually is crooked. He got the MP3 file as a threat, and is now in-hiding / dead.

Righty?

Well, that makes things MUCh clearer. Smile Two diametrically opposing possibilities?

We need to do some research. What was the Clapham Common business that people thought those names were connected to? Anyone got a link where I can read up on that?

The "V works at the academy" spec comes fFrom 2 things.

originally, it was pointed out by Kurt's buddy that the hiest would have required 2 people inside to pull it off. K and Q were both outsiders, so it had to be C and V. but this was before things got more complicated, and we learned about the 3P. now we see there could be quite a great many 3P people all over, and any two working at the academy would be in just the right situation.

Secondly: the Leaked emails include some mails fFrom V. all the mail is going in or out of the academy, so it is easy to impose the previous information with this linkup to go on the assessment that V was definitely inside the academy. However this too is incorrect, as there are a number of messages which come fFrom outside. specifically, the emails fFrom scarlett, who has never done anything at the academy but visit her dad.

In usmmary, no, we have absolutely no proof whatsoever V is now working or has ever worked in the academy.

Needs a lot of work, but it has the links you'll need!

Also, people's names/playernames are listed at http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/Track_3.mp3 .

Hi guys. On a whim, I loaded insert.mp3 into WaveLab and played around with pitch correction and EQ until I got something that sounded a little more "natural". It wasn't perfect, but it was easy enough to tell that the person speaking on insert.mp3 is NOT in the "V Featuring Monica" recording. Just thought I'd drop that in there...


I was assuming that Cyrus was the only person to work on the Viard album, with regards to putting the message on there. If this is the case, then he is not V. It seems unnecessary to involve anyone else with the message, not to mention difficult to find somebody who would be willing to provide the voice, and not ask questions.

I fear we may be missing a trick here. The accent on the Hesh radio is very heavy 'London', whilst if memory serves the accent of the editor of the sentinel (Miko?) had what we would relate as an American accent. Perhaps we whould pursuit this as a way of identifying people.

The accents on the 'Monica Grand' recording were both 'English' so perhaps this is the prevelent accent in Perplex City whilst the other accents are more indicative of denzins of outlying regions of the city state?

Perhaps we should ask Violet or Kurt as to whether there is any significance there? If we could identify a strong London accent as being distinct to 'region x' then confirm Cyrus' origins we may be able to tie the two together and confirm or deny that the voice on the recording it that of Cyrus??

I suppose that we don't *know* that Cyrus was the only person to work on the CD.

We do know that Cyrus worked on the album originally. Someone else (maybe the real 3P agent) could later have added the messages. As Cyrus had already left this would leave the agent with a great person to take the blame, so the agent plants the incriminating files.

The difficulty with this theory is that according to Kurt, Cyrus never existed! Why would an innocent be living under a false name, and then disappear?

*jojojojo kicks herself for not being around the last few days.

*jojojojo reads thread.

*jojojojo is now too scared to listen to the track. Shocked

Seriously, the transcript is horrible enough.


[SPEC] Just a small thought:

Very well. I shall continue to monitor the other members of the team, as agreed.

V


What if V is refering to monitoring us opposed to other 3P members?

What if we are not the only people receiving the "leaked" emails? Anyone reading this email could think that all those names (Oliver, Chris, Ryan, Jamie etc) are involved members of the 3P... we could so be incriminated further.

*jojojojo can feel a ramble coming...

I agree with the idea of us Earth CRT being watched so that when we find the cube, the 3P snatch it away from us. (It could mark the start of series 2.)

Also, are we sure those are the names of all those at Clapham? Is there anything else that links all of you together? We must make sure what the link is because it may reveal something further. Smile

And as for the PCAG, I think something will definitely happen. Its too good an opportunity for MC not to use it to develop the story a little.

Another mad thought: We're wondering where track 1 & 2 are and whether they do exist. Is it possible to have a seperate file spaces protected by different passwords? If we typed in other passwords would it reveal another private file space area containing tracks 1 & 2? I don't know if file systems can do that, or whether MC would go to the trouble of doing that.

Thoughts on this idea would be appreciated.

Ramble over.

To my discredit I tend to email few characters so I'd be very suprised if it were to do with emailing a particular charater. Not everyone on the list wrote a chapter in the book. I can't really think of anything else that links us other than our dashing good looks.
