[UPDATE] Sentinel - March 28, 2006 - Accusations

Letters section too...although I am reliably informed that this was updated on Friday(?), I can find no sign of it on UF.

Oopsie. Me bad. Those 56 players are now in 11th place.

*jojojojo sniggers evily.

Jessica Holyoke again, eh? The plot thickens. This will require some in depth reading. Methinks we are being given a prod here. Bernard Holyoke was the man who owned "The Five of Cups" bar. Full info here

Oh, and the Apple Thief quotation this week is from some fella called John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, who I believe wrote some film scripts a while ago.

P.S. It's from Lord of the Rings - more detailed information can be found here

I have a feeling that the mention of Fran Mendling might be the way to go with regards to Scarlett's question. We don't know much about her death, and this might make Claire open up about what it is that really happened on the night of the theft.

Once again, the Sentinel and Madame Bianca are conspiring to give me aneurysms. Four more blatant typos/grammatical mistakes in the Futures (besides the typo in one of the small articles last time). I'm keeping track chronologically, but no secret message has yet appeared

Yes, it's amazing how diet affects one's health, certainly

and because there is such heavy back plot on this kostka issue, here are some hopefully useful insights.

The Sentinel fFirst reported on Holyoke being fFound dead. Just think! If he had played it cool, he would still be alive, we probably wouldn't know anything about him, and a lot of the theft would still be something of a mystery! http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/04/five_of_cups_ow_1.html

The sentinel later reported Jessica had been fFound. She was of no use to reporters or police. http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/05/holyokes_wife_l_1.html

This spurred Violet into thinking the police were being real pansies, and so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
She goes: http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/05/recons.html
She comes back: http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/05/yesterdays_visi.html

This led Violet to go back a second time, to get privvie information, which outted Aiko and others as recons. It's heavy plot material, which you can read up here: http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/index.html

Then, in parallel to these things, Pietro Salk was conducing his own investigation. We (at length) discovered what he was discussing with Monica Grand, "The Advisor", in what has become known as The Salk Logs. They are collected fFor your reading on the wiki. The relevant bits which reference Jessica would be just under here: http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/Salklogs.doc#Research_and_Dead_Ends

Here ends the fFacts.

Here begins the speculation.

I'm given to agree with Chief Morgan when he says he doesnt think there is much of a case here. It's nice to hear fFrom ol' jessica, but Pietro and the police have all come to similar conclusions: The recons didn't do it. The recons are not to be trusted, certainly. Even Sente panicked when he fFound out Aiko was one of Them. But I don't really think they stole the cube. Being eccentric does not equal being evil.

Or else, they hid their tracks *VERY* well.

There is a possibility lying dormant here which one can fFile under heavy speculation: The recons hired V to hire some people to steal the cube. The recons themselves did the theft in some subversive way, such as with Aiko. But there is a big glowing edifice of conspiracy layered over all that so we look at Q & V & C & K and the third power. If you really wanted to invest in conspiracy, you could tag the Salks on to it as well, but that's quite a reach. Anyway, that would explain what monica meant when she said "It was already gone."

remember what i said one post up, about holyoke playing it cool? If he had kept his head down and not tried to cross V then we wouldnt ever know a thing. fFor that matter neither would Salk. And we would have never really thought to fFollow the rabbit down the hole. It's almost as if we were *supposed* to fFollow that lead. Well gee that's handy!

I don't know if I entirely believe my own little speculation, here, but it sure seems plausible.

[ryandrew]

[spec]Could Bernardo have left some form of message to his wife that she has recently discovered, containing information on the cube theft? It seems like this accusation suddenly came out of nowhere, but to come from Q's wife, it seems all a bit too coincidental. Finding out what she knows may be beneficial. [/spec]

[sledgecallier]

I like this idea...

[jojojojo]

As much as I would love to have another contact in PxC, I don't think Aiko is the way to go. Firstly, we don't know her. Secondly, I don't personally trust her. Whats to say she doesn't go running back to the recons? Aiko seems to be a rather clever person, she'll want to know why we want to question Jessica. She won't pootle off, do as we ask and report back. She'll ask questions, and frankly, do we want to give her answers?
