[UPDATE] Anna Heath 2nd May 2006 - Ceretin C6

I wonder if these are meant to be the testers they were looking for in the CGW ad... hmm.

[Juxta]

The CGW ad was on Earth...and...these tests were carried out in PerplexCity, so I'd say it's highly unlikely...

All the test subjects were quite young. Old people affected differently?

The range of results (inc. the extreme values) shows in one case no improvement over G5.

One for the scientists.

This paper looks good in terms of what it's supposed to report, the language etc, so I think we can safely assume it's genuine.

Cymballisty was known to have been taking lots of ceretin, so I agree with Juxta that a pick and mix overdose could have pushed him over.

So whodunnit? Well, if you look at the graph, we've got the mysterious "HG"... who was in the ceretin 6 group, but performed like the ceretin 5. My spec is that HG palmed the ceretin 6 he/she was given, took some ceretin 5 hoping that it would bump up their performance enough and either gave the stolen ceretin 6 directly to Cymballisty (unlikely) or sold it on to some shady dealer/teh sneeky 3p/whoever (my money is here- drug trial participants aren't just picked off of the street, you keep info on them. Too risky for a murderer to contemplate, even with the bungling PxC police).

I think Kurt said that he didn't think ceretin 6 killed Cymballisty, but someone with knowledge of this drug could easilty have replicated the defective subunit and combined it with current ceretin to give the 'black market' compound found in his blood.

Some clever people who know how to work the thing have come up with an HG from the wiki... I'll let them post about her though

The only HG character we have seen so far would be Hillary Gilbert, who was a protester against the Northside Preserve demolition and gave a Quote to The Sentinel

To be fair it's a strenuous connection, but it certainly seems like this HG person might be worth tracking down to have a nice quiet word with...

We don't really know if it is this HG (seems likely), we need a list of those who took part.

I agree with the palming spec though.

[justdig]

I like the idea of somebody palming the C6 and taking C5. A perfect way to kill somebody and make it look like suicide.

Narrows things down for us, too, if it's correct. We need somebody between 22 and 37 with no serious mental or physical problems who knew our victim well enough to know about his dependancy.

Continuing with that line of reasoning, it'd also need to be somebody with access to insider info on Cognivia's research, as it seems unlikely that they'd steal the drug on an offchance then only later find out that it could be used for a murder.

So, what'd be really nice now would be to be able to talk to a cognivia employee who was working on the project.

Now, there isn't a chance we could get any info about HG from oistin, right?
after all, I'd think that's pretty classified info, but just wanted to see what you guys think.

[cassandra]

Hg also = mercury. Though that's hopefully coincidental.
