 		This pretty much summed up the mysteries regarding the cube/3P pretty well:

Quote:

[17:07] Violet: But did the 3P steal the symbol? Did they build the labs? Was the Academy the same thing as the 3P before the war?

[17:07] Scarlett: And if the 3P built the Cube, was it them who used it to destroy the city? While they were safe here at Lancewood?

[17:07] Violet: What makes you think it's a weapon?

[17:07] Scarlett: I don't know. Adamek said it can do anything.

[17:08] Scarlett: I think I'm scared.

Sounds like AI to me....

Could be how the cube is said to communicate, and be aware that it is being stolen etc.

 		lighthouse/ controller information
timeline on wiki
The embedded controller may be the reason for more programmers being requested?

I guess we will find out more today. After that I think we might take a look at the transcripts and the timeline that Mimi and I put together and see what we all come up with.

 		Uh oh... Scarlett's going exploring on her own... Time for an horrific accident? Or maybe she'll find herself transported to Earth? I'm hoping for the second option Razz

And even that isn't really gripping "quick, hit F5", "yes, another circle has changed colour".

Is useful for the backstory though.

As we gain more background on what the cube is and what it can do, it seems to me that it will be very unlikely that we will actually ever physically *hold* it in our hands.

It seems more as if we'll help someone destroy it or make it inert....

 		Lucky for you guys, someone is paying attention, we have movement!


There's something going on at the lighthouse right now. 11:30 GMT

edit: it's all over, nothing that interesting, more power oddities in the unloading bay. They are going back to bed, which is where I'm heading.

I'm curious, are we able to see the power going on and off on the map? is this something that we were supposed to be checking for them these past few days?

 		It looks like the overnight "action" (I use this term in the loosest) was centred on the loading bay and the radio room, with the girls thinking they heard a door creaking. I'm now thinking two things. Secret doors and hidden passages.
I know this seems blatantly obvious too, but I realised that other than mentioning the similarity between the floor layouts and the 3p logo, Kurt, Violet and Scarlett have failed to mention the obscure side-corridors (it's what they look like to me) that go to make up the centre square of the logo. So just in case these matters are all linked, I've emailed Violet to check out the rooms that these corridors are linked to, just in case their midnight outages are linked to these areas.....if indeed they are areas.

Sorry about the spec overload, but I'm in Famous Five mode at the moment. Very Happy

 		Hey, everyone.
Not only am I not dead, but I'm feverishly ill!

So, looks like I'll be able to join in the brouhaha.

Hooray, but the same time, OW MY F#@KING HEAD.

 		Sad feel better.

Lab chat hasn't started yet - we're still waiting to hear from them....
