Pardon my sidetrack, but:

So, the details of the crime itself have come to light a little more, although one of the biggest questions remain for me: How did the Cube get here, if Kiteway claims (per Michiko Clark on her radio interview) no one knows how to get back and forth between here and Earth? Or, why would the thieves send something away that they can't get back?

The answer to that is that someone DOES know how to get things back and forth between Earth and Perplex City, which means either Sente's been deceived, he's kept that technology secret to only a select few, or he's behind it. One of these religious zealots would have to be privy to this technology, or know how to use it, if they are, indeed, our thieves. But, wasn't there a detail about the Cube being buried? If it is, indeed, buried, that continues to lead to me the fact that Mind Candy isn't the only Earth people working with Perplexonians. If 'the conspiracy' is indeed behind the theft, which I'm still not entirely convinced that they are, they (or whomever's responsible) has help here on Earth.

The next bit of intel I'd like to get my hands on are the details of the shipment of the Cube to Earth. I think that would put a lot of what we have now into perspective, and help solidify (or, regretfully, expand) our list of suspects.

Resume cognivia train of thought...

they keep telling us that they don't know what the cube does or is about so maybe one(?) of its powers allows it the transportantion to earth... or is this spec like 3 months ago?

drizjr has a very good point there.

A secret society with vast powers, and underground organization with vast powers and ancient knowledge about the true powers of the Cube. And huge technical and economical power, too.

And gateways? Seems very Stargate SG1-ish to me. Ancient ruins are a perfect camouflage for ancient technology, if you don't know how to manipulate them, you can't use them. And if they seem to be just ruins, you don't even try to use them or even play with them. And the least people who get into the ruins area, the better.

That would explain many things, or it could be completely wrong, as I normally am, but brainstorming is good, isn't it?

[tanner]

when she said "On the walk back I was pondering on what on earth it could have been." what does she mean by *earth*?

Ok, I must be having problem with my computer, one moment I am logged in, in the next I submit my post as Guest. Anyway, as my last post suggests, there's not even an emphasis on the word "earth" (not "Earth"). Capitalization could be a mistake, but there's no emphasis in the whole sentence.

I don't normally like resurrecting dormant threads, but since we know for sure who K is now perhaps we should turn out attention back to who the others might be. As ParityBit mentions here, Grand is slang for 1000, and the prefix 'kilo' is used for this and often shortened to K (£50K = £50 Grand). We already know Quercus is a type of oak and was used for Holyoke. So what other meanings could C and V have?

Obviously there's Roman numerals (100 and 5 respectively). V could well be Viendenbourg and we probably need more info on this. C also sounds like 'See' or 'Sea'. We think C's surname starts with the letter C so we have a limited list of suspects. There's almost certainly some sort of pun on their last name. Could be Ruth Coralhouse since coral grows in the sea (though that's a bit weak, and she's dead anyway with no mention of suspicious circumstances).

Other C's (who aren't long-dead) are:
Rebecca Croft - musician
Raiza Czenechovsky - cryptologist
Sarah Covington - reality researcher and shoe-fan
Dr Vaccaro Cyriak - social scientist (possibly male)
Kai Cinelli - spokesperson for Hesh Records
Michiko Clark - Sentinel EIC
Paula Ching - PCAG official (dir. substance compliance)
Myra Champaigne - PCAG athlete
Paula Coldwell - political analyst
Karen Chondelle - athlete - briefly engaged to Michael Corolla but found dead early 2004 on the eve of her wedding

Personally, I can't see any puns on their names that make more sense than my Coralhouse one. Can any of you do any better?

EDIT: This list was culled from the Wiki list of characters, though it looks like one or two are missing (thanks Cassandra).

Ok I'm about to drop some spec

I've been looking around at some old articles and think I've got a bit of info that may have been looked over.. although I am probably expecting a trout

First off 'Reynolds Ionizer' Has anyone else thought that this is not 'A Reynolds Ionizer' but instead 'Valerie Reynolds Ionizor'? She could be our possible 'V' too.

Have a look on the Wiki, Valerie is a strong academy contact who has made comments on the Cube before since the begining. She was against sending Coralhouses ashes to Earth and has been adamant that you cannot send matter to Earth, it just smells like a diversion to me..
