 		Don't you just hate it when payphones do that? Razz

Nice cliffhanger!

 		I don't think so. Hopefully an enterprising person will finish a transcript for us.

In the meantime, who is calling and why?
My guess: CT's key interacting with Earth technology -someone contacting on his key or something so it goes to the phone (but that may be because I am predisposed to advaned AI interacting with our payphones)

Other people guess: 3P and their love of phones

What do you think?

Also, I am sticking with my spec that CT has been on Earth the whole time and was the person who made the changes to the cards.

 		If you click on the top left black part, it brings you to the Begin at the Beginning, which is libraryofbabel/realise. No news there, but ill check some more,

 		I'm not sure if this is just some sort of glitch or if it might lead to something, but after a bit of randomly clicking around on the last screen, a large black rectangle covered "It spoke my name". When it happened, I was clicking around the word "my". Then when I clicked again, it went back to normal. I have been able to repeat this, but nothing really special has happened.

Again, not sure if this is important, but maybe someone will be able to find something out of it.

EDIT: It seems there is no particular spot that brings up the rectangle, it just happens after multiple clicks
EDIT2: Nevermind, I think it's just highlighting the large image.
Nothing to see here Razz Razz

 		Warning transcript follows.

DO NOT look at it until you've experienced the real thing

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sometimes I asked myself if I planned it all. Of course I planned it

I planned what had to be done, I planned how to do it.

But I didn't plan the end, only the beginning. The beginning is easy to explain, but dangerous. The end is harder, but safer.

I'll start with safe.

[new page]

There was no flash or bang or choir of angels.

[new page]

There was a sense of dissolution, of dissipating, a sense of everything.

[new page]

And then there was hard stone under my feet and steam and yellow cars and an intense cold. And a sound of ringing in my ears.

I stood up.

[new page]

Blood on my hand, but that was not important.

[new page]

People walking, uninterested, barely looked in my direction. I thought: people. Just like us. No different at all, after everything that's been said.

There was ringing again.

[new page]

I looked around. There was me, and the Cube, and the planet Earth. So far away from home it can't be counted. And where should I go, and what should I do? Shelter first. There were buildings all around. I knew enough, I'd done enough research. And you're not so different. Somewhere there would be a hotel or a library, somewhere warm I could sit and think.

I began to walk. There was the sound of ringing again.

[new page] [ringing sound]

I looked around. A small cubicle, a device with a keypad and handle was ringing. Something my research had not prepared me for?

I walked past it.

[new page] [ringing sound]

After a minute or two, another such device, ringing.

I walked on.

[new page] [ringing sound]

At the third ringing cubicle I wondered if I should do something. Was the ringing a warning? An elderly woman, smothered in a thick overcoat walked past without stopping and said:

[new page]

Are you going to answer it?

[new page]

I realised the meaning of the device.

[new page]

I picked up the handset and put it to my ear.

[new page]

On the other end a voice spoke.

[new page]

It spoke my name

I was halfway through transcribing when I checked back.

Thanks, Sophie. Smile

 		Even though what's below is speculative, I put it in spoiler tags just in case anybody doesn't want to know my ideas.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Operator.
The voice on the other end said operator.
Combed Thunderclap is one of the operatives from the third power.

NOTE: The previous statements were speculative, not facts.


Of course, that's just my idea.

Anyone else think it has some merit?

Laughing Excuse the further off-topic disgression, but that's hilarious! I had totally forgotten that these guys even existed! Thanks for reminding me!

To redeem myself (topic-wise), I'm gonna try the new transcript on the Beale from #223 right now...

ETA: No dice. If anybody has any further suggestions what CT might have used as a key text for a Beale cypher, please share.

Laughing And to think the Perplexians have been lying to all this time, suggesting they look just like humans! Wink

In which case, I think I've found the cube!
