Cyrus Quinton. Sound-engineer-slash-mass-murdering-psychopath. The first time we heard his name it was attached to an audio file of a woman being brutally killed, and we know he's responsible for several other deaths. He's also known as Vadik - like the evil wizard in Perplex City fairy tales - or just V. Which I resent, frankly. He's stolen my initial and used it for evil: that's not something you can just forgive.

The last time we heard from Cyrus, he'd gone through a briefly-activated portal and travelled to Earth in search of the Cube. We managed to get there ahead of him, but I suppose it was too much to hope that he'd disappear forever.

So, what do we know? Having followed a lead which started with my upstairs neighbour complaining about delays in the postal service, we discovered that the mail from the shadowy Apolyton Institute was being tampered with. I looked into it, but was met by a brick wall until I received an anonymous tip-off that the delays started when plans for some illegal technology had been stolen and sent to an IP address on Earth.

Now we know that someone from Apolyton sent Cyrus the plans for this extremely dangerous device. We don't know exactly what it does yet, but the words "neural override" don't make me feel warm all over. Part of what Cyrus is doing involves subliminal messaging: he's planning a huge test of this technology this coming weekend at a big music festival on Earth: Radio 1's Big Weekend. And like I say, an enormous crowd of people all having their neurons overridden... well, at the very least they're going to want their money back.

A lot of you have emailed me - thank you - and put me in touch with a video producer in London, Paul Denchfield, who's been investigating this independently, and is also trying to stop the test this weekend. My main task now is to find out more about the subliminal technology and the neural override device: to learn what it does, how it works, and most importantly how to stop it. I know someone who used to work at Apolyton, so I'm going to start there. I'll update as soon as I know anything.

 		For people interested in the subject of Frozen Indigo Angels, I found this very interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children

It certainly ties in with the idea of mind control.

Quote:
Indigo children is a term used within the New Age movement to refer to children who are alleged to possess paranormal attributes such as the ability to read minds.

The Indigo child concept was first publicized in 1999 by the book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by the husband-and-wife team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.[1] Carroll insists that the concept was obtained via conversations with a spiritual entity known as Kryon.

The reason for the use of the adjective "indigo" is not universally agreed upon: some sources link it with an early researcher into the phenomenon, who was synesthetic. It has also been claimed that these children appear with an indigo-hued aura.


I've already posted this in the FIA puzzle thread, but thought it might be apt over here also...
