Could it be that maybe Cyrus isnt V and has kept the recording as a kind of safe guard? Not sure what he would get out of it, apart that he could show it to the police maybe. Thats just wild spec of course (you beat me to the punch BriEnigma, lol)

The more likely route is that he could be V and the person on the phone is an informant or even Big Boss. We know of accounts of how shy Cyrus is, so it could be that he's in hiding and using this evidence as a safe guard...but they do say its always the quiet ones...

[sledgecallier]

Out of the two, I'd say the first would be my choice.

[Ulver]

What about Cyrus being a good guy? Say, for example, he knows something about V and got the sound engineering job to send information to earth. Maybe he got the job to spy on someone within hesh, possibly V, to collect information and then send it back to earth.

Or, if Cyrus doesn't exist and is purely an alias for someone else, could that person be another hesh employee?

I dunno. Apologies if it's silly, I haven't been part of the game for very long.

Ehhhhhhhhhh...

Erm...
Wow...

I would say something productive or speculative, but I'm kind of too freaked right now.

Suppose we can look at this again with fresh heads tomorrow.
Because right now?
Holy $#!+...

Just thought I'd post this link to the transcipt on the wiki, which is slightly more up-to-date than the earlier transcript (clarifications on 'Quercus' and 'Fivebridge Report', for example).

Er...also, can someone point me to the exact time of the spraypaint noises? I've been listening to the file pretty closely, and I'm kind of afraid that what we think are spraypaint noises, are actually choked, wet breathing.

This, my friends, calls for a MegaPost!

In fairness to Cyrus, everything backs up his story so far: he gets a message to Earth by adding it on to the Viard album, claiming Helena Frye is a spy. We send Kurt to Gillit Road, where he overhears two lackeys say:

god i fFeel sick.

[GuyP]

They did drag it out, didn't they? Hardly the professional takedown one might have expected. Reminded me of a certain scene in Mulholland Drive, actually...

[Scott]

I'm absolutely certain cyrus is V. no doubt in my mind.

he didnt exactly 'keep' the fFiles. He left. He left hesh, he left perplex city, I'd guess. He left and is a looooong way away. like .. uh, near scarlett by now. He knew we would be onto him sooner or later. and he was going to need a place to go and a way to get there. He could be. absolutely. anywhere. he could be in the city he could be under the city he could be on the other side of the planet fFrom the city. He could be on earth. He could be -- pause fFor dramatic effect -- Anywhere.

Alejo said he had gone missing. that's all we know. We need to send info to kurt pronto. he can give this info to the police. yes, that's the right thing to do. i don't care if there will be third power people on the police fForce. V has left the building. and kurt needs to give the police what they want so they leave him alone.

I'm not quite sure why people want to defend Cyrus, except out of concern fFor being lied to again. it doesnt get any more plain than this, however. here we have every piece of the puzzle. the murder, the viard album message, the name (Quint - V). it is all, every bit incriminating.


PS. did i mention i fFeel sick? man. i think it's iTunes info which churns my stomach most.

I know this is gonna reflect a lot of prior thoughts. Having slept on it I was all ready to post a nice long thought process the thought "nahh! summarise"

Patsy? - possibly

Alias? - most likely

2 options.

If we think about it how did Kurt get directed to the Hesh Intranet in the first place- the original message led us to Hesh, to the Intranet and the file it also led to Gillett Road. I think this is all a smoke screen and ways of getting us and Kurt out of the way.

If he is a patsy we still have a threat in Hesh possibly and we need to get Kurt and Violet up to date - I fear for there safety and I certainly have an idea something will happen on the 25th

[GuyP]

I still don't understand why Cyrus would have done all this, if he was in fact V. Bond-villain style cockiness? It just doesn't sit right with me. So the theory is: frame Helena Frye, thus leading to the bungled Gillet Road raid? Knowing that we'd inevitably find out who had engineered the Viard album, he then leaves the file on the Hesh server by way of a calling card and gets the hell outta Dodge?

Actually... that does make a funny kind of sense. The plot thickens...

(In other news, I'm off on holiday for a week or so, so shan't be able to deal with any mod-type requests. Oh, and good luck to all who'll be going to the New York PCAG event!)

I don't know about anyone else, but I feel more and more manipulated by the 3P as each new clue surfaces.

As far as I can tell, they have just out and out threatened us, giving names of specific people as evidence that they aren't just making this stuff up.

We need to get smart and start suspecting that maybe the 3P are more in control than we first thought. We don't want another CC 'all a ruse to spy on us' scenario, and I suspect thats what they are giving us. I wonder what would have happened if we'd contacted our agents and told them *not* to go to the subway. Perhaps they would have stumbled out the clue anyways, but perhaps the 3P would begin to realise that we are not sheep that can be lead anywhere.

These people kill people. In very unpleasant ways. They have no compassion or mercy and they have tricked us at least once before. New York and London players be on the look out, I suspect the 3P will be there somewhere.
