It confirmed almost all of the spec that we had, that was it.

From the looks of that Gif methinks that she passed out from Asphyxiation. Caroline had been without Oxxypro for who knows how long, and climbing a mountain then venturing into a mine couldn't have been good for her. Maybe that final fight with Kurt took what was left?

She did say she had taken some tablets and felt sharp as a knife, so possibly the much needed oxxypro? I don't remember it being mentioned whether it was a spray or a tablet anywhere.

this is kind of spec, but:

i guess my first question is whether miranda/caroline is dead. assuming she is, then:
(a) did kurt kill her?
(b) did she commit suicide?
or (c) did someone else (i.e., her "colleagues") kill her?
my suspicion is (c) that she was poisoned.
at the beginning of her chat w/ kurt, she said something about "having just taken her pills" so she was "sharp as a knife" or something. is it possible that those pills were poisoned? if so:
(a) what kind of pills were they? oxxypro? ceretin?
(b) where did she get them? are they from the pharmacy? did her colleagues stash them away in the mine? had she saved them from before she left pxc?

also, has anyone heard from violet? i saw on the chat that someone had emailed her, but i haven't seen any news about it.

i hope this is the appropriate thread -- the only other one i saw was the thread for kurt's email. let me know if this is the wrong place to speculate about this stuff.

thanks,

a.

Okay, so in IRC we worked out that there's a great way to get ALL the images that were used, so now every single image that was there is now at http://matrix.theblob.org/pxc/ . The ZIP file is updated, too.

Y'all might want to make your GIFs, etc. again. Wink

(19:12:17) Kurt: 2 We had to get it back. It was about the experiments... the early Cube tests. We couldn't let Violet tell Earth what Granier discovered - the kind of damage the Cube could do.
(19:12:26) Kurt: 1 Is that why you tried to steal it? To use it as a weapon?
(19:12:30 )Kurt: 2 We're just trying to take back what's rightfully ours. The Academy have fumbled<????> around with it for centuries... they're children. Look where it is now, thanks to kite way. Imagine if someone from Earth finds the Cube and keeps it for themselves. With their record, it could be the end of both worlds.

And again I get the feeling we're helping the wrong side...

I'm hazy on the details of the history, because I haven't read enough of the backstory, but isn't this a city that's not talking to its neighbours because it blasted them to hell and back years ago, or something? And has nasty secretive brain-sucking weapons under test somewhere? Or did I get that wrong?

Perhaps what that nice Mr Kiteway really wants from us is the return of his Evil Overlord Deathray thingy and we're going to have to spend season two righting the damage we do in season one, with Kurtnviolet and Scarlett the leaders of the resistance, and Anna the villain's chief henchperson?

how did he manage that, did he have some of that lipstick/lip balm on (that i saw in a Firefly episode once) so that when you kiss someone they pass out? Deliciously evil!
Who would have thought that he'd be capable of murder (should it turn out that that is what happened)

Nope, that's pretty much it... the vague strands of history that haven't been totally swept under the carpet by the Perplexians' Stalinist rewrites of history suggest that Machiantes and the rest were obliterated by some dread Ark-of-the-Covenant-esque power of the Cube.

Semi-serious SPEC follows:

I'm expecting a big 24-style reverse, in which Sente turns out to have hired V et al, and been the one behind the theft, and the 3P are actually some largely benevolent sect (like Oded Fehr's mob in the Mummy) created by Granier to keep the Cube from falling into the wrong hands, and any naughtiness they've been involved with so far has been nothing more than unavoidable collateral damage.

...or maybe not. Wink
