I'd ask him, though I suspect that may fall under the "classified information I can't talk about" section. I'm sure he saw the article after reviewing the Earth Sentinel and would understand our interest... even if he is part of the conspiracy...

yeah...just go for it, the worst that can happen is that he spends a night in jail (no deaths on our collective conscience yet...who'll be the first I wonder...hmmm Idea

)

I'm not sure that The Sentinel ever released the classified information about *what* the police had found at the Five of Cups. We gained the insight because we read the Salk Logs, and Pietro had it from his personal police contacts. Whether they would have wanted him to report on such a find directly is an open question.

The sentinel article only talks in general terms about some "jury-rigged equipment which ... could be used to jam keys, security systems, or driverless vehicles." That was noteworthy at the initial report because of This other article which talks about a guy dying in a car wreck. So no, only pietro knew about the kleibold plates. And he dismisses their use entirely as having anything to do with any such security systems.

We could ask Kurt what a kleibold plate is used fFor, which will yield one of 3 results:

1) he ignores our cries. The Bastard. Just Like everyone else. The bastards.
2) he actually tells us. That would be a landmark fFirst in which we get a straight answer out of *anyone*.
3) he asks why we want to know, stirring up quite a bit of dust.

That last one is particularly interesting because it would mean we actually get *any* sort of interaction out of anyone in whole city. character interaction: what a concept, huh.

so i guess what i'm saying is i'm fFor it. Let's ask. Better yet, let's not just ask, but let's lay our cards on the table to where he cannot ignore our advances.

J'agree. Go for it Lee, I have a "feeling" about the hollyoake/5 o' cups/Salk path. They want us to go there...

Actually, I tried to do this last night and, for some reason, my e - mail connection didn't seem to work...so someone else may have to do it on my behalf! Grrrrr...

[It's something to do with the automatic Outlook response not recognising my server - I tried to send the same message via my yahoo account, but then the address didn't seem to register !!...]

So, it might be worthwhile if someone else can offer to do the honours...tactfully, of course Smile

Email sent! Not that I've had any luck getting responses from anyone, but the question is out there now. Smile

I generally do not keep copies of my sent emails, sorry about that.

Basically, I just said that I understood that he couldn't give us details about any PxC tech, but we were curious as to what the Klebold plates and Reynolds ionizers mentioned in Pietro's files are used for, and that any info he could pass along would be highly appreciated. Simple, straightforward. Probably not as tactful as y'all would like, I'm sure, but seeing as I've never received an answer to any of the questions that I've sent to various characters, I figured that straightforward couldn't hurt.

Complain publicly and ye shall receive, I suppose. Laughing

First, my original message (yay for replies with originals attached!)

Good stuff. Highly specialised material sounds pretty promising as a lead...

Whether we get much more insight into it at this point is, I guess, another issue.

Let's hope we hear from Kurt about the Klebold plates and such . . .

I must have missed the part where they mentioned they couldn't describe their technology to us "Earthlings"...

where was that said?

and by who?
