[UPDATE] Path of Least Time 3 May 2006

[European Chris]

It's like a confusing four page thread made simple!

[psyche]

As ever, my money's on the evil duo, Miranda and Jason.

That aside. How do we prove HG nicked the stuff? Is there ay way to get our hands on a list of participants in the trials? I know they're anonymous, but would there be a central record anywhere? What do you medical science people think?

[duckiemonster]

There's probably a record.

What's bugging me at the moment is how HG knew she/he'd been given ceretin 6 when it was a blinded trial. If they were taking it for several days before hand, we could reason that they'd got their ceretin tested by *whoever* and knew it was version 6... but it looks like they were only given one dose. This points to an inside plant. The one dose thing also points to someone manufacturing a copy of the drug; even though the ceretin 6 overdose threshold is low, one dose wouldn't do it, even in someone whose brain was as pickled as Cymballisty's.

I've emailed Kurt to ask if he knows of any way we can get info out of cognivia.

[Tintintin]

I think some sort of complicity within Cognivia has to be presumed, as the lack of overdose protection in C6 would, I guess, not exactly be common knowledge?

Forgive me if this question has been comprehensively answered elsewhere, but has it been established whether Cymbalisty's cause of death was due to overdose or a fatal reaction between different generations of Ceretin? I have read much speculation on both, but at any rate, there's no way you would either (a) try to commit suicide or (b) try to kill someone and make it look like a suicide with this drug without having extensive knowledge of what effects it would have and what dosage would be lethal.

After all, up until this generation of Ceretin that hasn't even left a test environment yet, all Cymbalisty would have got for popping a bucketload of the stuff would have been a headache. I therefore speculate, at the very least, that someone at Cognivia has leaked information (whether purposefully or otherwise) that C6 has this lack of protection before the trial, giving HG the chance to purloin the sample and either mass-produce it or slip it straight to Cymbalisty.

Hmmm... actually, do we know precisely when the preliminary trial was? The paper is dated April, but if there was sufficient time between HG stealing the sample and Cymbalisty's death, perhaps it could have been analysed and/or synthesised in the interim.

(edit for clarity)

Possible coincidence - initial interpretation of the London Eye morse code message contained the word 'outlier'...

[ArcySparky]

And there appears to be a 6 there as well... You know as in G6 Ceretin?

~Arconceagainmanagestostatetheblindinglyobvious...

[European Chris]

However there is also a 'cyhoerstseinkli' there as well so it's all swings, roundabouts and mouldy bananas.

[ArcySparky]

*sigh* I guess.

Well if I had been down in london I would have been much better at recording... kinda... well. Probably not.

*wishes it knew morse code*

Actually you couldn't have done much worse than anyone else who was there. Particularly the people who didn't want to stand close to the edge because it was too high.

I so hope they bring a PCAG Tournament to Edinburgh...

*crosses fingers*

And even if they flash over Prince's Street Gardens and you can only see it from Scot's monument, I shall overcome my fear of heights and record, dammit!

Anyway, I got a little off topic. How long does it take Kurt to write a blog about his plans? I've got some serious procrastonation to be catching up with and he's making me delay it even further.

~ArcsuggestssomeAsprinormaybeacoupleIbuprofein... (At least untill they release Ceretin 5 over here )

Juxta sends out for an extra sized helping of space bars, and a copy of "Why it's just wrong to write in the third person constantly: The Self Help Guide" and will distribute them appropriately, possibly with a clip round the ear too
