 		[SILLY?] Mind Candy Is Out To Get You
So my friend and I were having a conversation at lunch one day, that went something like this:

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR SACRED CUBE?
(Note: this conversation happened a couple weeks BEFORE the San Francisco event)
J: "What do you think they'll do with Season 2?"
M: "I dunno. I'm starting to wonder if they'll have any main characters left alive by then."
J: "No kidding. But you gotta wonder what's gonna happen when someone finds the cube. Did you see that page?"
M: "Yeah. It is not in any way dangerous to sleep in the same room as the cube..."
J: "For periods under 1 month."
M: "Also, do not expose to water, liquid mercury,"
J: "Or acetone." *laughs*
M: "Ooops, I accidentally broke a thermometer and spilled mercury on it. Then I tried to wipe it up with a wet rag."
J: "And then after it still didn't come off I tried some of my sister's nail polish remover."
M: "Here you go, Perplex City."
J (PXC): "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR SACRED CUBE?!?!"
J: "But you gotta wonder what's gonna happen to the first person who gets the cube."
M: "Wouldn't that be crazy if it got stolen?"
J: "Yeah, I can see someone arriving at the location right after someone else... busting out a gun."
M (Armed Cube Hunter): "Hand over the cube, and no one gets hurt!"
M (Unarmed Cube Hunter): "Come on man, we can split the money! Just... don't hurt me!"
J: "What if Mind Candy were to steal the cube before it got turned in?"
M: "They could totally pull it off. And man, what a setup for season 2 that would be."
J: "Yeah... you have to wonder just how far those crazy, sadistic Mind Candy people will go."
M: "After some of those puzzle cards... no kidding."
J: "I'm almost scared to find the cube now."
M: "Yeah... I mean, I don't think they'd assassinate whoever found it. That'd be taking it too far... right? I mean... it's... just a game, right?"
J: "It starts turning into 'The Game', just watch."
M: "Well, that was the answer to that one movie-quote card."
J: "Oh shit."
*both pause for a moment*
M: "Yeah, I don't think I want to find the cube first any more.
J: "Me neither."

...

IMMUNOLOGY
PXC Sentinel: "Ng General Hospital doctor Reynold Yumin was arrested late Tuesday evening at his home on charged of falsifying patient records to conceal evidence of misconduct and criminal negligence on his part. Yumin has been a biochemical specialist in Greystone's much-vaunted immunology department for approximately six years."
M: "Does that ring any warning bells to you?"
M: "BIOCHEMICAL SPECIALIST. IMMUNOLOGY."
J: "A Biochemical Attack on the people of Perplex City?"
M: "well, as long as it isn't on the people of Earth..."
M: "... "
M: "You remember what I said about the person who finds the cube?"
J: "I mentioned that during sushi after the event... The other players just looked at me, kinda awestruck and such, in a state of disbelief... Almost like I called each of them by their childhood nicknames..."
M: "Well, it's a valid question. Just how ruthless and sadistic ARE those crazy minds at Mind Candy? "

...

IT'S COMING TRUE
Then last night, after we discovered reports that 3rd Power Operatives have assaulted PXC players...
M: "..."
J: "Most likely just a story, but still kinda interesting."
M: "I tell you, it's coming true. Nobody in their right minds would actually believe it was actually Mind Candy..."
M: "...which is exactly why they can get away with it."
J: "....Now is a good time to have that healthy sense of paranoia..."
J: "No?"
M: "Agreed."
M: "After all... we know that Third Power plays dirty."
J: "I need to start hiding my cards and looking over my shoulder... I am in the top 500 now..."
M: "oshit. You're right."
J: BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE!

...

Finally, this morning:
A Healthy Sense of Paranoia
J: "Is it wrong of me to get nervous everytime I hear a helicopter now?"

 		I remember this conversation... Kinda funny when you put them into sequence...

I've been hearing Helicopters all over today... Two flew right over my house earlier... It's all coincidence... but you have to admit... That's one helluva coincidence...

I've had the same thing, although I think it was before sat.

 		I haven't heard a helicopter yet today. Then again, I only hit top-1000 last night...

 		I hear helicopters all the time, but I swear they're just delivering pizza to Princes William and Harry at the (local) Royal Military Academy.

 		That's obviously Royal Pizzas with gold encrusted boxes and caviar topping

OF Course with extra cheese!

 		Surely they would be called pizza palaces?


See what I've done...do you? I'm the new Peter Kay.

To be fair, the sudden increase in helicopters after Harry joined up may not be pizza deliveries. They might be carrying dodgy uniforms and drunk girls.

 		I hear helicopters all the time, but the doctor says that they'll go away if I keep taking the tablets, just like the little blue men did.

 		I keep hearing helicoptors at the moment, and today there is an air show here... I wonder if its at all connected.

I really don't think they'd need to ship drunk girls in specially by helicopter. A quick trip to Bracknell or Camberley would surely suffice.
