As you well know, there are those who are attached to our cause who are more
senior than you. They know where their true allegiance lies. Make your excuses
and leave the meeting.

 		I have also just recieved two mails, which is odd, because I haven't actually solved any cards in at least a week! Note too that the point totals go backwards, as if these were very old mails. The first mail just seems to be a repeat of an old mail, while the second doesn't appear in the wiki yet (I'll go add it now).

And Q? Do we wish to take any other retributive measures? As a message to anyone else who might be tempted to try to steal from us?

 		Well, that looks a little strange - it *seems* to point the finger of blame for Bernardo Holyoke's death firmly at our buddies in the Third Power. However, Bernardo/"Q" was found dead in the Five of Cups on the 25th April (at around 10am, so perhaps even killed after hours on the 24th) but this mail is dated the 27th....


J

Edit: Actually, re-reading the mail, it looks pretty clear cut - the phrase about "any other retributive measures" seems to seal it. Poor Monica was right to be terrified...now, the question is, what did they actually *do* during the theft? It sounds like they tried to steal it from not just the Academy, but also from 3P.

 		Hmmm good point (and hi Juxta, this is David from Grophland's alter ego Smile), I wondered whether this was in fact deliberate misinformation (I double checked the mail path etc. but it all looks the same as every other mail I've ever had from PC)

Its worth noting that both mails I got today had the same total points (the correct total), even though they had totally different total solved cards on them.

You are reading it as Q trying to steal the cube, rather than the baffling equipment?

 		Mm...good point, I had read it as being "The Cube theft team, including Q, K and C, had attempted to double cross their employers and take the Cube for themselves" - but you're right, it's not necessarily the case, and it could simply be that Holyoake took the electronic equipment which was later found at the Five of Cups - in which case it might be *that* which is being referred to as stolen.

So either V or V's boss works in the Academy?

 		Note that the CRR is the source of the re-sent mails as well, I wonder if this is a separate mail fault to the main one?

 		I got the same as above, and also on the e-mail with the new text at the top (Failure in Centre for Reality Research....etc....) my number of cards solved was doubled as well.

I'm thinking this is a genuine fault though, as it references Mind Candy in this new bit of text and the number of cards is wrong.

This appears to go before it (now on wiki). I wonder if the time is right?

I see that the matter of Q has been resolved.

Not necessarily, it could be from two different name withelds, eg. someone says to V, 'look we 'resolved' Q' and then V says to his boss 'you want anything else doin to Q now we wacked him, like i could do his family too or summink'

Elementary...
