 		I just wrote a letter to the Sentinel with a message for Anna Heath's killers in it.

In it, I basically said:

"If you think you're going to scare us off by killing Anna, you're dead wrong. We originally started hunting the Cube because it was the right thing to do - but now?

"Now it's personal. We're coming for you, and you'd better hope the cops find you before we do!"

(I even paraphrased part of Dubya's post-9/11 "They have awakened a mighty giant" speech . . . )

 		Wow, that... just sucks unbelievably. Bloody hell.

Thank you, Juxta, for summing up my feelings so that I don't have to.

This says it all, really: Crying or Very sad Evil or Very Mad Mad

Now I'm mad. Let's get 'em!

coverup. if she trely was helping get the parts out of crypto, the theives may have thought she would reveal their identities and turn them in so they capped her before word got out.

True, but why would Anna steal the equip.? Shes quiet, happy and reserved. If it sounds strange that Anna went after the equipent, it sounds even stranger that shes a cubiterrorist.

mabey she was done waiting for the thievies. mabey she wanted to get to the bottom of this.

its even stranger that violet almost knew where annas body was... its awful strange to have to police (and half the city) go down into the sewers a second time.

 		I was all up for tomorrow's launch party, but it'll be more like a wake, I suspect. All the serious players will be a bit sombre, and MC ought to do something for Anna there.

 		One thought. It's high time that the Kiteway's exchanged notes, including the ones they didn't tell each other about.

i was thinking about that at work today, but i think being quiet and taken back is an amazing reason for the possiblity of her maybe not being a cubeterrorist, but a possible mole in the crypto dept. the less thats said the less we would get suspicious. she may have gone to warn the actual theives that we were on to them, and they said okay we don't need you anymore and killed her, its all hypothetical, and i probably paid to much attention to miami vice, but its a thought. i do agree with you also though about violet knowing exactly where to go... very odd.

 		Violet may have shown her hand with this one... (I never have fully trusted her since the events in the BotS Compound)

It's not that strange. Kurt wrote, regarding Anna's disappearance
The Path of Least Time - 27th July wrote:
Anna didn't turn up at work either, and no-one's been able to reach her on her key. Either she's turned it off, or she's in an area with no signal. I'm trying to localise it through the networks, and we're also going to have a look around the area where the part went missing yesterday. I can only assume that she went after it... One strong possibility is that she followed the parts out of key signal (for example, into tunnels) and is still tracking it.

so it's a reasonable assumption on Violet's behalf that Anna would be in the tunnels and, as Anna's friend, she would want to continue the search until she was found. Bear in mind the police don't know what Anna was doing or why she disappeared so wouldn't have as much impetus to continue searching tunnels or to believe that Anna was in mortal peril.

Caine's post above clearly states that Violet didn't go directly to Anna's body. They searched logically, like a true Perplexian, by

and eventually came across Anna's body. The reason Violet knows them so well is, like Caine says, she used to go down there as a kid

there's an entrance underneath my dad's "official Academy residence". We were never allowed down there alone of course, but when Scarlett and I were little, and we nagged him enough, sometimes he'd take us for a walk. And (be jealous, be very jealous) not just the bits they show the tourists, but some other places too. Nothing terribly mysterious, but more of those strange mosaics on the ceilings (how did they get up there? Why those symbols? Weird). I always loved it down there; shame I'm a bit too grown-up to ask my dad to let me have a look round now.

Maybe we ought to put the Random Speculation Monster back in it's cage for a bit and give the girl a break Wink . The case for the defense rests.

 		How was she found?
I was very saddened to see Anna was found deceased. I've only been playing a few months, but really enjoyed the level of interaction with her.
To try and find her killers- do we know anything about the details? Was it an area already searched? How far was it from where we lost the signal? Did they find her key? We need to bring these people to justice!
Caine and Violet are the only sources of our story so far - a cover up to allow her to get closer to the real criminals? The Sentinal hasn't covered the story as of this evening....
Just brainstorming aloud...

 		Wow. I leave for a few weeks and everything goes to hell in a handbasket. I Just got back to day and was shocked into silence after reading what happened. It's kind of frightning that someone that we all knew, or knew of, and could contact is.... well, gone.

As for finding the killers, I'm sorry to be the pecimist here but I doubt that it's possible. The Third power probably has it's tentacles in every level of crime right down to the pickpocketing thug. If they knew that Anna was enough of a threat to eliminate, they would have used a professional. Note how she vanished without a trace. They're probably long gone.

 		Yeah, Violet is a suspicious one. Personally, I believe she is the supreme and ultimate evil, and given half a chance she would kill us all. Perhaps Anna was just another step towards her earning her goal...

She must be stopped.
