Fair play this is getting weird!

Just to help everyone from neckache the bit at the end of the whole sequence in the flashing bundle of text reads...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
" Flying
Flying
Like a bird
On the wing
On the wing
Amazing
Flying
On
The
Wing"


No reason why everyone should hurt their neck! Wink

Nice update. What now?

How does this fit with the previous entry about "I planned it."
Maybe that just referred to thwarting the theft of the Cube. But if that was so, someone had to know or quickly figure out, what CT had done and where he would arrive on Earth. So was CT part of the original theft team?

[Just a note: if you are in NYC and a mysterious, unexpected car drives up, and car door opens don't get in even if they know your name. Smile Not that this was NYC, I'm just saying for general purposes.. ; ) ]

update?

Hi,

Think I am finally somewhat caught up with a vague grasp of the back story to this whole thing. I remember something about Recedas Revenge, but how does it fit in with the theft and CT?

How can you check whether a website is updated besides comparison? Is there an electronic way?

So now on top of knowing that there is

snow
yellow cabs
phone booths/cubicles

at CT's first destination, we know that the city must be one with usable streets that are cobblestone and not cement (okay, so that doesn't really narrow things down any) and that CT almost immediately left. I'm assuming he flew somewhere, since his tickets were booked (ship, plane or train are the tickets that get booked) and he mentions flying on the wing.

Anything else to add to the list?

If you use the Firefox browser, going to Tools->Page Info will tell you all sorts of neat things about the webpage, including the date it was last modified. It may be possible to do this with other browsers, too, but I only know how to do it with Firefox.

It's always so jarring to me when people refer to CT in the male fForm. I have absolutely no supporting evidence, but I've entirely identified CT as fFemale, in my head. So I'm reading along and people are like "..and then he went.." and i'm like 'wait, he who? oh, you mean .. 'she'; dig.

fFunny Smile

Really there is no indication at all of CT's gender. Or any sense of identity of CT at all. it's quite deliberate really. She arrives in A City and is met by A Phone and is swept away in A Car. that narrows it down a bit, I suppose. Smile And this seems to be in an english speaking part of the world, so that clips off a lot more. So it's limited to, say, a billion in one odds of fFinding the person. hey wait! I know this one!

Ummmmm.... Wasn't the last Recedas Revenge part of a massive plot by the Third Power to throw us off the trail, reveal ourselves, and prove how stupid we are for thinking that a secret agency would use a series of puzzles to identify thier meeting place Smile ?

Given that CT apparetly has access to this site, can we trust him/her anymore? Along with him getting picked up by a (third power owned?) black car, ample evidence has been provided to distrust this person.

I dont know about you, but I am getting very bored by the constant last minute black helicopter escapes Smile

Its not neccessary to assume that a black car picked CT up, or even that the tickets purchased were for a plane, train, bus, or automobile. Perhaps they were for a play or other event. What could possibly "be everywhere or do everything?" The Cube. What could use a person as an instrument? The Cube. This all points to the cube choosing a person that could be trusted to be intelligent enough to work on the fly but malleable enough to accept the circumstances presented.
