[Email] The Game Has Changed - Aug 12 As you may know, the data link between Perplex City and Earth was disconnected
two days ago. Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of Cube Hunters - both in San
Francisco and online - a new link has been established and communications have
been restored.
The cause of the disruption is now known. It was a direct result of the Third
Power's activation of a portal - a device which they used to send several of
their agents across to Earth. They are here. And they will let nothing come
between them and the Cube.
They have crossed immeasurable distances in their search, and they have already
been responsible for several deaths in Perplex City. Their determination and
their resources are formidable - as they proved in San Francisco when they flew
over the heads of the Cube Hunters in twin helicopters.
So the hunt is now more urgent than ever. We desperately need your help if the
Cube is to be found and returned safely to the Academy. Please, focus your minds
on the search for the Cube.
And be careful.

Third Power? Don't make me laugh.
We're faster, smarter, more numerous and better equipped than them.
Bring it on, Third Power - we'll send your best agents home empty handed, because your best just isn't good enough!

Yeah, but they are willing to kill. We (I'm assuming) are not... That gives them an edge over our numbers...

Speak for yourself. They go after me or mine, I'm prepared to use "minimum necessary force"*.
*That's government-speak for "shoot first, ask questions later". EDIT: No, not lethal MNF, I was thinking more along the lines of tranq darts.

Pfeh, who needs helicopters? One man with a rifle could down a helicopter.
He'd need t be a crack shot, but it can be done.

Or, if you're John Rambo, just a rock.
No, wait, he only gets the dude leaning out of the helicopter. Still, we could nullify some of the aerial menace through application of silicate projectiles, even if the actual chopper might take a bit more firepower. Like two rocks, maybe.

Yes beware agents of disharmony lest I unleash my macarena. As I was poised to do above.
Honestly, there's only ever been the one photo of me at an event...if you over-use it none of the tabloids will pick it up.
