Sylvia --

I have an even more encouraging bit of news fFor you.

Monica is willing to meet somewhere safe. It is not yet known what the method will be, or where. We think it will be in some sort of on-line chat system. But we aren't really sure. She is setting something up, and it own't be ready fFor another 24 hours.

So the thinking is this: Many of us here on earth will aim to meet her, and hopefully then you can slide in quietly as well, unnoticed. Mind you, we really dont know what sort of system she will be setting up. But I think it will be safe fFor us, her, and you.

I will keep you posted.

Be strong, Sylvia. There is hope.

--Scott

I am setting up a secure location for our discussion here.


Given that this is unlikely to be a public chat room, more probable that is will be via IM, she might be concerned if lots of unknown Earth people try to start conversations. So if it is just going to be Brian (or Dysper) that will engage her, should we be compiling a list of questions that he/they should be asking? Nothing too heavy initially, so we don't freak her out by knowing a lot more than we should.

My guess is that it will probably involve a lot of people. My email mentioned "my friends from Earth" who want to help, so I would hope that she would take that into consideration. (And going meta/behind-the-curtain a bit, it would make more sense to try to involve everyone than it would to single out a specific person or two.) She never really said if it would be realtime communication or not--just that it would be more secure. It could be a chat room (IRC or an AOL Instant Messenger room), it could be an IM account, or it could be much less realtime and just be a private forum or something. If she works at PCBC, it may even be a hidden section over there. I guess we really will not know for another 24 hours.

 		I can access MSN in the UK...

But back on topic -> I think it might still be through e-mail. It says "this channel" - which hints still being e-mail?

 		Monica said it would take 24 hrs to set up the communications channel. It's been over 40 hrs (but who's counting?). Is she OK? Confused

Dear Mr Enigma

I have completed my security arrangements. The following Earth-appropriate location is secure and available for communication:
http://www.perplexcitybankingcorporation.com/advisor

This set-up has taken a great deal more time and expense than I had
anticipated. I very much hope that you have something to communicate which might be of interest to me.

Sincerely,
Monica Grand

We want to help you finish what you started with Pietro. We have several people working on the information. One of these people is with the media and the story can still be broken. We want to know everything you wanted to tell Pietro and we may be able to help you find out what you want. If you wish we may be able to organise a meet with Sylvia as a Perplex City contact that we believe you will be able to trust more easily

-Chester Mays


I hope we'll be able to get something from this...and yes, i know that the name sounds much like my current IRC name....

 		Dear Monica,

We understand your feelings of speculation and mistrust, after pietros unfortunate and horrible demise, and we realise that no words of ours can console you, or offer you protection against the undeniable dangers of the malignant entity with which you were once involved. We do however hope that, with your cooperation we may be able to contact the relevant bodies within Perplex City and therefore offer a certain amount of, boviously much needed, protection. Your cooperation it is my duty to point out, is however the key factor in this corespondance and, although you may know a great deal about our organisation and the so far unsuccessful attempt to retrieve the cube, we are so far clueless about a great deal of the theft and indeed about yourself.

I would therefore request on the behalf of my associates that you make some form of revalation, not only to enlighten us, and offer a show of good faith, but to protect yourself; the entity you hide from would not persue you so closely if there were others who were behind you, or indeed if the information they sought to conceal was publicised. To further these ends I would therefore ask if you could reveal the identity of the so called leader of the group who went by the code name 'V'.


Yours Sincerely,

Perplexed

 		I think we're asking the wrong questions, or giving the wrong reasons for her caring, any ideas?

Dear Ms. Grand,

I know that we haven't had contact before, therefore I understand that you may be skeptical concerning my motives in this email. I assure you that I wish no harm to come to you, and hope that you can overcome your mistrust and help both yourself and the population of Perplex City by assisting us in our search for the Receda Cube.

I believe that the most relevant information that you could confer to us would be the importance of a place called Viendenbourg (I believe it is located somewhere in the Tanraga mountains), and why information on Viendenbourg isn't available at the Museum of Perplex City.

I would also like to ask, if I may, about your specific role in the theft of the Cube and how you were approached by the other members of the group. Any information, no matter how trivial it seems to you, may be instrumental in the recovery of this priceless artefact.

I would like to express my thanks in advance for any information that you would be willing to disclose to us.

~Atrophied

 		Possibly, and indeed, probably will yield no results.
