I was thinking maybe the 3P could find it first and then the winner would have to find them and somehow take it back (nonviolently of course ) before they sent the cube back. Maybe a dumb idea, but I would enjoy it.

What particularly interests me is that Sente said the 3P power surge came from North America (sorry, I was onsite and totally missed that bit, what with my cellphone going off and helicopters flying overhead). Where exactly do you suppose that surge came from? (looks around suspiciously).

The 3P agent sounded so utterly ludicrous.
We already know first-hand how incompetant they are, so what have we got to worry about? His vague threats are laughable. LAUGHABLE I SAY!

No he didn't

One thing I have to say that I don't think will get me trouted:
At least we know what they wanted those parts for, now.

Ironically, this hadn't occurred to me. ._.

Well 3P did try to steal the cube but someone got there before them so they likely dont know where it is either. So up to us to find it before they do.
Ah yes, it makes more sense possibly that the latest round of wave 4 clues were put in place by "Combed Thunderclap" (assuming that's what the letters spell) rather than 3P. If that's true, then CT might be a clue as to how to interpret the numbers.
Probably a trout, but in all the excitement it's so easy to blame 3P for everything, when really there are probably at least 6 parties all going hammer and tongs in all kinds of directions (us, the CRT, MC, Sente's sekrit stuff, 3P, CT...).
Off to catch up with various threads then...

This means that a 3P Agent is in North America. Too bad those slackers at the Acadamy cant give us a better location, prehaps it is in Jones Beach!

The fact that the worm hole opened up in North America is probably just linked in to the SF event in that it made it more local for the players taking part in the event... Anyway it's not as it is hard to get from the US to the UK (or wherever?) is it? (Actually, with all the security screening etc I know it is quite a task to fly anywhere out of the USA but from an in game perspective this should not be seen as a barrier for 'aliens' with no paper work or means of identification... )
Still not sure how the worm hole was created though... However, we now possibly know the way that the cube was transported to Earth, so perhaps we need to ask someone in PxC about whether there have been any other 'unexplained' power surges at any point?
(We are assuming the Cube was stolen around the time of the Academy Ball, but this may not be the case at all and the Cube could have been transported months before (or after) that date..?)

I guess someone at the 3P is more smarterer than the folks at the Academy, who said that matter (excepting the cube) could not be transported between our worlds. Hey, maybe we now know what the Kleibold Plates, Renolds Ionizer, et al. are for!

Yes, this will keep the timing under control. If we fail to solve the puzzles hidden in the wave 4 cards, 3P can nab the cube and MC can introduce a new, easier puzzle to find the cube. That way it can be found before Season 2 (no matter how thick we are).

Well, it could just as easily be agents . And with helicopters and presumably other agents/earth-based sympathisers(?) funding and/or helping them, there's no boundary to where they might next appear...

I think it was probably more of a case of 'unwilling to entertain the thought of trans-spacial/dimensional 3P travellers' or 'unwilling to reveal the scary truth to the timorous earthlings' rather than 'didn't conceive of the possibility'...

Nah, much as I want to think they'll be coming to Denver so that I'll have something to do, I kind of doubt it. Clearly, they've gone to Indiana. That's the state with the largest number of items on the government's list of possible terrorist targets, after all. I mean, why would they go after the Golden Gate Bridge or the Statue of Liberty when they could destroy Mule Day?

The fact that they've landed in North America might mean that they think the cube is hidden in North America and they have a better incling than us already.
Of course it might just mean that's the point where the portal could let them out at that moment or it might even be because they wanted to scare everyone at the SF connection...
