Oh, come on. As if Kurt and Sente aren't in it together. We know Sente's up to some sort of suspicious in relation to Viendenbourg, we know he has the security expertise necessary, we know he likes Kurt, we know (from the police website incident) that Kurt's got mad-hot hacking skills, and that mad-hot hacking skills are exactly what was needed on the night (per Claire Castille). We know that Viendenbourg's connected with Reynolds Ionisers, which have an unstated purpose, and that a machine which isn't common knowledge would have been needed to mask the Cube from scanners until it went off Earth. We know that unauthorised communication with Earth is something Kurt's "moved well beyond". Miranda's alibi on the night of Cymablisty's death was Kurt, and Kurt's was Miranda (or should that be Caroline?). Kurt didn't want us to investigate Cymbalisty's death. Our only evidence that Helena Frye isn't 3P comes from Kurt, when a lot of other things don't make sense unless she is (cover ups of Holyoke and Cymbalisty murders in particular). We know there's at least one insider with access to Earth blogs reading the relevant blogs and informing ne'er-do-wells; and the only blog that CAN'T be read from PerplexCity is Kurt's.

Come on, what does he need, a big red sign saying, "I stole the Cube"?

Greg, as you well know, the "I STOLE THE CUBE" message on the cards is in black, not red.

We know the war was ended in the obliteration of All of Perplex City's neighbors. We don't know how they were obliterated. We do know it had something to do with some mining operations somewhere. As fFacts go, that's it. We don't know what was mined where or what it did.

I could speculate the cube was dug up by granier's party, used as a weapon, then buried again in catbite. This doesn't explain what is being drilled in Viendenbourg, tho.

Much as this theory makes a disturbing amount of sense, we're hardly going to be allowed to cut corners, are we? They'll work out ways to make us play through the entire story and then get to the point of BETRAYAL OMG, if it happens.

But that would explain a lot - although I admit I'm not so suspicious of Anna as some. I'd think she'd be more of a neutral than on either side.

Imagine if someone from Earth finds the Cube and keeps it for themselves. With their record, it could be the end of both worlds.


This sounds to me like the 3P (if indeed Caroline does work for the 3P) don't know where it is either. And as though they consider it to be Sente's fault it ended up on earth.

So perhaps... Sente has been conducting his experiments at Viendenbourg to work out how to use the cube as a weapon. He's moved it to earth in order to experiment with it somewhere he won't damage PXC. The 3P tried to nick it first to prevent him, but failed.

Or, Caroline doesn't work for the 3P at all - Sente has been the Big Boss of the 3P, under his orders they took it to earth, and Caroline belongs to another organisation that are trying to stop them.

But I'm inclined to think that if she didn't work for the 3P we'd have seen some kind of clue by now.

I don't like it that Miranda/Caroline said that she needed to steal the diary to prevent Violet from telling us what was in it.

I know Kurt has just checked security on Violet's blog, but...

Don't like it. Violet's way too visible in this whole business (and a valuable hostage, should that ever come to pass).

If it was a hostage they wanted, they'd go for Scarlett. You want as young as possible as the hostage so that it's even harder emotionally to negotiate. Plus it wouldn't be as expected.

Hello I'm new (well new to this forum). I was just wondering if anyone had noticed the picture from the Security Cameras 999001.jpg that looks like one of those 3d Magic Eye pictures - could it be? Sorry if I'm way off target, but it just really looks like one (and 'm not very good at seeing them)....

It's possible, but it's more likely that it's just a heavy static picture due to the camera activating/starting up. It appeared a bunch of other times during the transmission, so it might have been signal problems due to being in an area of the mine with metal floors/walls/ceilings, which also interfered with posts coming from Kurt to the chat room as he approached Mirandoline and with posts from their conversation.

I think they are just normal images - if you look at them from a distance you can see the room behind the static.

... Aaaaargh - the wind just changed while I was trying to check the magic-eye-ness of the picture and now my face seems to be permanently distorted...
