Look, I'm posting twice in just over a week, see? Be sure to tell my dad what a good job I'm doing. Wink

Anyway, Michael Smith from Mind Candy got together with Gadgetell for an interview a while back, and you can see it here. The best part is, there's a free Wave 4 puzzle card at the end to be solved! If you haven't, yet, put on your lucky puzzle socks and have a crack at it. Smile



edit: added the link.

 		Before anyone gets excited like I did, the card is St. Ives.

You do know how to keep a secret, don't you?

I met with Violet, Kurt, and Anna Heath, of all people, a few weeks ago. I guess you know all about that. I finally told Violet the whole truth about my long journey to Viendenbourg, and on to Anjsbourg. All the while Kurt and Violet kept interrupting me, asking me for more information on the drilling at Viendenbourg, or what precisely Commander Fitzgerald said about my father. And they asked me several times to recount every scrap of detail I could remember about V - that Vadik fellow - and about Claire Castille's story.

Given that we seem to have followed strangely parallel courses despite the miles between us, it was a little bewildering to find that we had all four of us been talking to you. And you kept my confidence through all of it. Thank you for that.

There's more that happened after that meeting, though, that you probably don't know about, and it's part of why I've been so quiet since then. I stayed with Violet after the others had gone.

'I don't have anything to do,' I observed.
"That's true,' she said.
'But I want to help.'
'Too bad,' Violet said, and stood to collect the empty glasses from the table.

I paused a moment to try to keep calm. It's so easy to become angry when I'm talking to Violet, and the last thing I needed was to fall back into a role as her annoying little sister.
'I think I could do some good,' I said. 'Don't push me out of this on the grounds that I'm too young.'
Violet's shoulders bowed for a minute, and she wouldn't look at me.
'It's not that,' she said. 'You've proven you can handle yourself in the big, bad world.'
'So then why?' I pressed, following her into her kitchen.
She put the glasses down on the counter and turned to face me.
'You're too risky,' she said. 'V might know about you, and dad certainly suspects something about your ridiculous fluffy bunnies cover story. The best thing for you to do is lie low and try to keep attention away from yourself.'

I tried to argue, but I probably sounded too much like a petulant child. At any rate, I did manage a partial victory. Violet's conceded that she should at least keep me up to date on what comes of all of this poking around for more information, even if she's blocking me from taking a more active role.

Of course, she's broken promises to me before.


Sisters eh?

I'm more excited about this:

There are people at this moment trying their darndest to find the final clues, which vary from the simple and easy to the maddeningly difficult. This summer we will release a final wave of puzzle cards that we hope will be enough info for someone to figure it out.


So we're really not far from the Cube now. In theory, at least. And the key clues are in the cards.

Although that's clearly what she said, I'd be suprised if it were the case.

Sorry, I'm prepared to be smacked around the face with a wet fish here, but am I missing something? What background blog?

 		Next to her picture on the main blog there's a hidden (white on white) link to a special sekrit blog.

 		Does anyone else see this as a hint that we may have to be the ones feeding Scarlett information from the other three in the future?

And Caine still knows nothing, and that still makes me angry, although it is best to wait before we get him wrapped in all of this and make sure we're on the same wavelength and he's as devoted to us and the other members of the Good Guy Cabal.

her email address is giving the generic auto-response..

thought of a different approach.. she clearly doesn't want to lay low, so I told her about the new link in San Francisco, mentioned that if the 3P got their hands on it in advance what a catastrophe it would be and told her that if we could somehow get some advance info we'd be able to protect it..

clearly it's not the most important plot point.. but I still wanna know what's going on in San Fran since I can't fly out there.. (will probably coinside with wave four release..)

The most interesting thing I fFind here. Because it seemed to me previously Scarlett had not said anything to anyone about Claire. So that's interesting. If Kurt et al know about Claire, does that mean eventually she will be swept up and arrested or something? I'd guess not right away, as she was a paid hand and would mostly do better as a witness or something, which makes her much safer in the fFar off reaches of anjsbourg. But .. yes. good to know Claire was discussed.
