 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - 20 Oct 2006 - Earth Link Locked Down
... by Executive Order
Quote:

Earth Link Locked Down by Executive Order
By JOHN CORMORAN

Newly minted Council Leader Nathan Earlywine issued a security lockdown of the Earth-Perplex City data link today, one of his first steps in his term. Executive Order NE-3309 provides for use of the link to be heavily restricted, and beginning at 5:30pm today, all traffic destined to go through the link will be screened for potentially dangerous or subversive material. Earlywine called this his first move in an effort to "reclaim the culture of Perplex City."

"Our engagement with the people of Earth is understandable," said Earlywine. "We want to recover the Receda Cube and return it to its rightful place of honour in our city and in our culture. But in the Cube's absence, our people have turned to unhealthy measures to fill the void in our lives." He said that limiting access and use of the data link would encourage the city to return citizens' focus to internal matters.

Council Member and former Council Leader Camryn Scott issued a terse statement calling the order "hasty and premature." According to the statement, "Our new Council Leader wants to make a strong first impression in office, but attempting to choke the free flow of information between worlds does not do our city credit."

The Sentinel contacted a number of sources directly affected by the order, including Master of the Academy Sente Kiteway, several members of the Cube retrieval Team, and staff members at the Centre for Reality Research, but none were willing to comment regarding the executive order on the record. One CRR researcher did say, under condition of anonymity, that the move would significantly impact the quality of work it would be possible to perform, and expressed a fear that budget and personnel cuts would follow in the weeks and months to come.

The Sentinel has enquired regarding the status and feasibility of continuing its Earth Edition. Sentinel editor Michiko Clark will be meeting with Earlywine early next week to negotiate the conditions under which the Sentinel may continue publishing.

 		Could a "sanitized" Earth edition still make it through? After all, isn't Earlywine worried about our impact on Perplex City, not the other way around?

It would be we will simply have to interpret the "news" a lot more loosely now, what with the "Ministry of Truth" stance Earlywine seems to want to take...

 		Seems as though MC has some underlying themes that especially seem to relate to a lot of things going on in the world today. Particularly with todays' events in PXC.

I really can't help but feel like this marks the beginning of the final chapter. I think we're heading into the climax, and the "lockdown" won't be ended until someone finds the cube.

 		I'm thinking that what we have here is a desperate situation, and it may call for desperate measures.

Let us start, therefore with the least desperate of desperate measures: trying to co-opt someone "in the know" about the datalink, but who's lower-profile than Mr. McAllister, and ask said person to assist us in making it appear that letters criticizing Earlywine for his pigheaded maneuver are coming not from Earth, but from citizens of Perplex City.

 		I dunno, mate... Could the Cube be found with what information we already have? Seems to me we probably need a fair bit more of it before it is found.

Maybe we can count on someone,or something getting around the firewall and getting us further information?

Oh i'm sure we'll need more information, but there's pleanty of ways for that to happen that don't involve the data link.

The 3P is on earth, looking for the cube also, Receda's Revenge 2 happens wednesday, which makes me think 3P is going to have a way around the lockdown, plus it still seems that CT might still be on earth, and he/she is the most likely candidate to know where the cube is.

I'll try and keep in touch if I can. Hopefully, this embargo won't last long. You'd better hurry up and find that Cube soon, though, just in case.

 		Oh! Yeah, of course! I'm sure the 3P will figure prominently in whatever information we get from now on. Besides, if they were able to get through, why wouldn't the Academy be ale to, eh? Wink

Minutes to go now...
