[UPDATE] Anna Heath- 14th June 06

Secrets and Lies
Wednesday, 14th June 2006
I imagine Violet's already told you about our big meeting. I'm refraining from telling Fleming very much about it for now. I know I could trust him of all people, but many of these secrets aren't mine, so it isn't my place to reveal them. I have told him, though, that we're very concerned that some sort of organised criminal group is undermining the hunt for the Cube. He's under the impression this is all part of my regular position on the Cube Retrieval Team, though. No need to mention the Third Power, he'd think I was just being ridiculous. It's like something you'd read in a terrible adventure novel when you're eight years old.
My job in this secret cabal is to try to find out anything I can about the equipment Bernardo Holyoke had from the Academy. What exactly was this gear, and what was it for? And what other things have gone missing, if anything? I suspect the man who would know the most is Henrik Tanner, who runs all of the Academy's security, so there's my obvious path.
Now, many years ago, Henrik and I were very friendly, but we haven't really spoken very much since I've been married. I'm trying to find a way to reconnect with him. Just enough to gain some confidence, and possibly surreptitious access to his office, but not enough to - you know - give him the wrong sort of impression.
It's a nasty business, using people like this, though I'm afraid it comes easier to me every day. Still, the enemy uses much dirtier tricks, and we won't save the world by keeping our hands clean.

[oog]Sometimes I wonder if the writers of PXC have personal issues that they need advice on and work them into the game. Anna's gonna get all these e-mails about how to reconnect with this old friend and Naomi Alderman will have everything she needs for this weekend. This is definitely not the first time this sort of solicitation has been made.[/oog]

Anna's playing the MILF card? Never would have seen that coming. It seems all the characters are paradoxical Violet getting sensitive, Kurt enraged, Scarlett becoming independent and mature, and now the mother hen becoming a scented trollop.
Using my best Homer Simpson voice, " hmmmmm trollops."

Maybe you could have made 'Perplex City, meet American Pie' Brian?
Just because she's using her wilely feminine charms to lure him doesn't mean she's performing some form of degrading act. I say... go Anna! Maybe she could even use the old trusted line about the single malt aged 18yrs old.

Perplexed you have me all wrong I'm ALL FOR feminine wiles, (and degrading acts but that's another post). I'm just suprised at the turn of events. Oh and by the way I'm going to the UK on vacation next year, enlighten me on that," single malt" line so I can learn the local vernacular and a few extra degrading acts.

Obviously Anna hasn't read up on "The rules of the Internet ."

The "Single Malt" line was used in the film "American Pie" by Shitbreak when talking to Stiffler's Mom, the MILF. Well, not that I want to personally, but you get what I mean.
As for Henrik Tanner, I tried to do some background reading. The information on the wiki links to mirrors that are now forbidden. Are these Bri's mirrors or are they ones set up by Nik Doof and now have been lost?
This is gonna be a hard one for Anna, we're going back at least 6 years, given the age of her twins. I hope she doesn't raise too much suspicion.

Actually, Stiffler's mum said the line... and it wouldn't work for you Brian unless you like them young/are young yourself. Maybe 'a sophisticated sex robot sent back through time to make women happy' would work better for you

Sorry it's been a while since I seen the movie. But busting my chops about my age! The gauntlet has been thrown down

Methinks Anna's been listening to The Dark Side of Phobos !

Even if Anna isn't listening to DSoP, I have it on right now. Great set of tunes!
I'm not sure I understand why Anna would need our help with getting Tanner's attention. I thought all women had the built-in ability to turn male brains to mush on a whim.

Quoted for truth. I'm a big fan of the music of Doom, and am looking forward to when the next Doom-related site project is released (it's going to be Doom II remixes, and last I heard the working title was either The $50 Shotgun Project or North of Hell ).

Well, it could be that Henrik's been a touch paranoid ever since the Cube theft, and might look on Anna's asking questions as highly suspicious.
Or . .
[WILD SPEC] Either Henrik or Anna was in on the theft, and the one who wasn't in on the theft is suspicious of the other. [/WILD SPEC]

I was going to drop a Not Even Doom Music reference, but honestly it's a lot of work for not a lot of funny.
Essentially, the reference is: there are some things that not even Doom music makes cool.
