As fFor the electric splash -- it's the name of one of the fFireworks Kurt used in the display on the night the Cube was stolen.

Another question answered. I now wish I had bothered to email one of them and ask what they thought an "electric splash" could be. Also, did we know that Kurt did firework displays? I don't remember learning about this before, but it might have been on one of the cards.

Fireworks

Yes we do, it was in his blog

While some parts of the PCAG opening celebrations were a bit muted this year, I'm happy to say that the fireworks were still up to scratch. I went there with a bunch of friends from the Academy, some of whom are taking part this year, and so were either far too nervous or far too manic. Violet made her usual droll suggestions about manipulating the sound coming from the rockets and how it was all terribly retro.

I have a bit of an interest in fireworks, which originates back in chemistry classes at school - I had a great teacher who didn't mind us putting the labs in serious danger of total destruction (I suspect our parents would've had a different opinion, if they knew). This was just after people had started getting interested in fireworks again, after they'd seen pictures and videos of them from Earth.

Despite the fact that we've had to learn how to build fireworks from scratch in the last decade or so, I think we've caught up with Earth pretty admirably and in many ways surpassed you guys. Not only do we have computer controlled launch tubes, but we've also got remotely controlled explosives in each of the rockets (with a failsafe fuse, naturally). This means we can do all sorts of co-ordinated displays. When I helped out with the Academy fireworks for the first time a few years ago, I remember we managed to pull off a great display where the explosions were precisely co-ordinated in 3D, so if you were looking at the show from the Great Lawn, you could see a moving fountain. It didn't work out so well last year, though, because there was a bit of unpredictable wind that we didn't expect.

After the PCAG fireworks, Violet and I lay back on the grass and looked up at the stars, chatting. She's still a bit spooked by the whole Aiko thing, but she's doing fine. I remarked to her that it'd be incredible to sit on Earth and look at the stars there. I've seen photos and charts of your sky, and it doesn't look anything like ours at all, which explains our different constellations and so on.

I feel this will not go according to plan and the beginning of S2 coming on!!

Will the Cube be guarded at all times during the party? It's possible that 3P agents could try and pass themselves off as Cube-hunters (again) to gain access to it. I'm too far away to attend, but maybe some of you who are going can organise a rotating watch in case of any funny business?
