[UPDATE] Perplex City Sentinel - 15 Jan 07 -Link Reversal

Earlywine Reversal: Earth Data Link Opened by City Council
By JOHN CORMORAN
In a surprising reversal of policy, the City Council has reopened the data link to Earth effective immediately. The Council called it the first step in a "renewed and concerted effort to retrieve the Receda Cube quickly."

Council Leader Nathan Earlywine said that the change in policy was a necessary action in light of the infiltration of the link, reported in the Sentinel previously. "It's clear that the firewall has not deterred certain parties from relaying information," he said. "We fear that an unknown entity - possibly the Third Power - is searching for the Cube with unsavoury motives, and the firewall has not prevented these communications."

Just a week and a half ago, Academy security experts Garnet Reed and Henrik Tanner came forward with evidence that the data link was being used for short, cryptic messages between unauthorised parties on Earth and in Perplex City. Since that time, the City Council has been closeted in marathon sessions with a number of individuals including Reed, Tanner, and police detective Helena Frye. Earlywine also scheduled a private policy discussion with his predecessor, Council Member Camryn Scott, which Earlywine later called "productive and illuminating."

Scott declined to elaborate on Earlywine's comments, simply stating that "the policy change was a unanimous decision by the council."

Reed, who is a commander in the Perplex City Defence Forces, on top of his position on the Cube Retrieval Team and the Academy Oversight Committee, expressed "relief" over the lightening of Executive Order NE-3309. "Now we can refocus on the important task of bringing home the Cube," he said. In a separate statement, the Academy announced that an internal inquiry into how the link was infiltrated was already underway. Sources for the Sentinel have informed us that the suspension of a key individual in the Cube Retrieval Team is being considered.

The data link to Earth was heavily restricted and subjected to intensive monitoring in October under Executive Order NE-3309, in an effort to discourage the city's preoccupation with Earth.

Champaign Takes the PCAG Championship
By CORWIN JONES
PCAG prodigy Myra Champaign defeated Serena Duncan to take the PCAG championship last night. The 16-year-old player has become the second-youngest champion on record in the modern era of the games, following only Monday Garrett in 232. Champaign was stunned by her victory, repeating "I don't believe it," over and over, before rushing over to embrace her father, Klaus Lowrie. Once she calmed, she described the win as "the best moment of my life."

"You dream about winning the PCAG, but I never expected I'd actually take it at my age," she said. "This is so amazing." Champaign beat out last year's champion, Ryan Cahill, in a stellar performance during their one-on-one knockout match on Saturday.

"I've worked hard to be here, and it really doesn't seem real," she told reporters. "I'm dreaming, right? And in a minute I'll find I'm not wearing any clothes and I'm running late for an exam!"

When she was informed that teen hearthrob Alejo Jackson is likely to be present at the Victor's Ball, to take place later tonight, Champaign blushed and said that she hoped they would be introduced. "I'm such a big fan," she gushed.

Duncan, visibly furious over her loss, refused to engage in the expected press interviews following the match. As she left the match, she told reporters, "Just don't start writing about my retirement."

Champaign has been the subject of much controversy, and required special permission from a PCAG committee before being allowed to play last year due to a number of drugs she received as a cognitive treatment when she was a small child. Based on the evidence presented to the committee, the PCAG ruled that she no longer had a special advantage because of the treatment she had undergone several years before. The decision prompted a number of disruptive protests from the Alliance for Clean Players. Alliance member Jonas Sawgrass has indicated that the group will be seeking to overturn Champaign's title.

Mood Sombre at Anniversary of Cube Theft
As today marks the third anniversary since the Receda Cube was stolen from the Academy Museum, some of the most notable thinkers in the city reflect upon what the Cube means to us all -- and what its theft has taught us about ourselves and our place in the universe.
