sounds like we need to come up with a good reason for nev to talk...

I'm still of the opinion that Nev managed to get some kind of message into his words, beyond the roundabout prose he was using. "But I've probably said too much already. Not a word, Caine, understand?" Hmmm. This latest post feels, to me, like we're missing something.

I've e-mailed Caine to ask why he put particular words in italics in the transcript - maybe Nev particularly stressed them somehow, I dunno.

Might be nothing, but thought it was worth chasing up.

Here's the perfect excuse to get talking to Nev. Have a lad's night out. Surely Caine has a couple of gigs coming up and maybe Von, Kurt and even Garet would welcome a break from the normal worries for the lads from the CRT. Just a thought.

How about this? (I already mailed it, figured it wouldn't hurt.)

Perhaps we could ask Nev to take a quick look over 13th Labour?

I say we give him Shuffled or 13th labor and let them have a go at it.

I don't imagine Caine will reply. It's ... not really done.

As an encrypted message, might I suggest: "Tristan". Just "Tristan". That should be enough to get Caine's attention.

So like really, how would you go about building an encrypted message? anyone can build a cute puzzle, but real live encyrption takes some skill I believe. I'm all elbows.

Not sure Caine can realistically present him with Shufffled or 13th labour. He's got no reason to - it couldn't be in order to get the solutions, because as a member of the CRT he must know the solutions because he was part of the team that set them. And besides, he wouldn't want to get the answers for us, as the whole point is that we solve them ourselves. It would be like your maths teacher giving you the answers to this year's maths exam.

And I can't see him presenting them to Nev as a challenge - 'see whether you can crack the codes that are stumping the Earthers' - because of course he can, he's not only a Perplexian but a Perplexian expert crypotologist. No challenge at all for him, I reckon.

No, we need something more direct, I reckon.A more powerful motivating factor than his fear of his boss.
