 		[UPDATE] Anna Heath's Personal Site (08/03/06)
Quote:
Fleming is plotting
Wednesday, 8th March 2006

Well, I've about had it with the police. It's not just that they won't give me any information at all, it's that in the process of being of no use whatsoever, they've treated me like a toddler - and a dull one, at that! I'm being a reasonable woman. I'm not making wild accusations of incompetence or tomfoolery, no matter how accurate they might be. I'm simply asking, as a close personal friend of the victim, if I could have copies of any public-domain records in the case file. What will they give me? Nothing! Why, they won't even permit me a copy of my own testimony! It's simply ridiculous. Unconscionable!

Meanwhile, I've been receiving emails from a number of Cube hunters on Earth, offering anything to help with that could aid in my search for justice for poor Isaac Cymbalisty. I am both surprised and gratified by this unexpected wave of support. To be honest, just thinking about it, how very kind you've been to me, makes me just a touch misty.

And I've also been speaking to Fleming, my husband. He's a member of the Perplex City Auxiliary Volunteer Police, and he was called into service last weekend when Roll for Damage held their surprise concert at The Stitch, with all of the ensuing security trouble. Based on this, Fleming has an idea. He thinks we might be able to use the next surprise show to our advantage to sneak into the police network and grab the information we're looking for.

At any rate, here's his plan. Tippy is hinting that the next RFD surprise show is going to be sometime early next week in the Amandier district. (A word to the wise: never tell our Tipster a secret you want kept.) Fleming says that if someone -- or many, many someones -- were to report ongoing crimes in every police district in the city at the same time the show were going on, it is likely that the police would activate the volunteer forces. If the situation appeared bad enough, the police would then go into "Emergency Scenario 205-Z," which gives the volunteer forces temporary full access to the police network. I suspect if I asked Kurt, he could very easily set up a way for all of you to call into our system and look, well, local. We've spoken about that kind of interconnection in a more theoretical sense in the past, and he's said "that kind of hack is child's play."

I'm really torn about this idea, because it seems to be of such questionable ethicality, but so is letting a murderer run around loose. I can't think of why anyone would have wanted to harm poor Isaac in the first place, so there's no telling when and where this killer could strike again. Fleming assures me that with police crawling all over the city checking out falsely reported crimes, there is little chance that a real crime could be carried out successfully, but if anything happened that night, I would never forgive myself.

At any rate, I'm still not sure it's the best way to get the information. I'll still try through the proper channels this week, and if I've not come up with anything by the time the next RFD show is announced, Fleming says he'll provide me (and you) with the information you'd need to carry out this scheme of his.

I really hope it doesn't come to that.

 		or, the plan could be communicated to a 3P agent beforehand and they could enter the system themselves that evening. Or worse.

I think it's a ridiculously dangerous idea. I'm interested, though, in why Anna isn't even asking Garnet about Cymbalisty, or just access to the Cymbalisty suicide note (I'm hoping someone else forced him to write it and there's a secret message in it). Surely he's got some leverage, Mr. Chest-Full-of-Medals? (and yes, I know that we automatically associate military/govt agents with conspiracy. but I'm wondering if Anna does. or if Garnet's simply too straight-and-narrow to question the actions of govt agencies.)

Riiigght..... Just you believe that your militant, government run and generally powerful organisation *IS* going to give you the access you need and we won't need to do *any* of this.

 		Well...we know the precincts from the police site, and the types of crime that are common in each, so at least we can be convincing. There's not many police around Key at night, so maybe one or two happenings there would be good (vandalism?), vigilante killings in Amandier, out of control piss-up on the beach in Alchemy?

This is so much fun!

Let's trash the place... Twisted Evil

...but as plans go, from a puzzle scribe, it is inelegant, (as she says) unethical. Also...her hubby's a part-time bent cop. And she uses four exclamation marks in the first paragraph.

What do we get out of this?

 		I like the idea. Who doesn't want to crank call the Cops without worrying about the consequences? Even better, we can accomplish something useful while we do it.

Hello? I'm calling from a plane. Yes, I realize that Perplex City primarily uses trains, but in this instance, I am on a plane. I would like to report SNAKES ON A PLANE! Samuel L. Jackson is here, too, and is doing a good job of keeping them at bay, but we would appreciate it if you could send up a few officers.
