Didn't think of that.
Perils of joining in late in the game. There's definitely no cold in Australia in January.

I think the recent events/ discoveries in the lab more or less confirm that Combed Thunderclap is the cube (IMHO). If this is correct can we then assume Combed is trying to lead us to itself?

Pittsburgh has yellow cabs. And plenty of steam rising out of manholes/grates in January. No phone booths that I can think of, though.

And how could the Cube graze its hand and bleed all over the place, hmmm?

We learned yesterday that the cube DOES have intelligence, but that it's limited:

Thus confirming that Marchant wasn't a loon.

So, the cube recognised there was a threat (in some non-specific, vacuous AI way) and acted to save itself by transporting itself to Earth, but then why was CT there?

Or

The cube interacted with CT at some level and required CT's presence in order to transport itself to Earth. This would make me think that CT was someone in frequent contact with the cube (what about Fran Mendling, do you get to take your body with you to Earth? Is it all a bit Quantum Leap...hope not!)

Or

The impetus was from CT and the cube simply reacted as directed (who chose Earth? Remind me, do we know how the Perplexians stumbled across us?).

Something that worries me a little is that Sente looks like he might be accreting material at Viendenbourg to build another cube. Is that for destructive purposes or PR purposes ("oh look, we did get it back! Aren't I lovely!", "Erm, Mr. Kiteway, it's not quite as cuboid as the last one" "Sshhh Patrick! We'll say the Earthlings hit it with a spade as they dug it up.")?

"I looked around. There was me, and the cube, and the planet Earth."

No, there's nothing more to these...

I decompiled the Flash, and there's no more to these than we've found...

Just for clarification:

The payphone pictured in Dissolution is not a US pay phone. Payphones in the US have the receiver in the center, over the numberpad, like this:

There are some exceptions, but definitely not in New York. While CT's comment about a cubicle doesn't (to me) rule out New York because the phones do tend to have their own little kiosks, the shape of the pay phone does.

The payphones in Canada, however, seem to have a much more European bent. And wasn't one of the 3P agents in Montreal? ::edit:: Nope, Toronto Smile
