 		[UPDATE] Violet Underground - 12th May 2007
Apolyton Institute

Apolyton Institute - Saturday May 12, 3:55pm

Interesting. A number of people told me that they were finding delays but hadn't sorted out a specific pattern, and then I received a message from Chris and Jen Cook that made it all fit together. Someone, for some reason, is delaying parcels that are associated with the Apolyton Institute. And also parcels that look like the kind Apolyton use: large, heavyish parcels sent express or priority and with a signature or delivery confirmation required. Someone's clearly very keen on reading Apolyton's mail. I wonder why.

The Apolyton Institute is one of the more mysterious organisations in the city. There are always rumours flying around about the things they do: when the Cube went missing quite a few people thought it was an Apolyton stunt. There's quite a bit of cross-pollination in staff between Apolyton and the Academy, but the Apolyton ex-staffers are always so firmly NDAed that they'd get sued if they even muttered 'Apolyton' in their sleep. Looks like someone's interested in penetrating that impregnable fortress.

I called up the switchboard at the Apolyton, but they're stonewalling. "No," they said, "we have had no postal problems, no we have not heard of any, no we are not interested in your findings." So, for now, I'm stumped. Stumped but intensely curious.

There's another new website: www.apolytoninstitute.com.

I sent them an e-mail directing them to Violet and got this reply:

 		You know, I've half a mind to send them a letter saying that you're sharing their letters with people other than yourself. That disclaimer at the bottom might indicate some other action they might take...could be fun. Cool

 		It said to point your key to there. I'm giving them my key number, I'm not sure if it will do anything, though

I wish to discuss your terms yo! I don't like how you guys treat animals. I find it cruel and inhumane.

EDIT: Does MC read this stuff? If so, then I am coming off as quite an asshole so far this season...

 		Perplex City colliding with Dr. Who would probably do terrible things to my gusset. But speaking cynically (and trying to keep calm) Dr. Who is one of the Beebs most recognisable brands and Perplex City is currently Mind Candy's only brand. Would either of them really want them rubbing up against each other?

 		Oh, that's all the City needs. First they have a war, then they're plagued by shadowy conspiracy groups. The last thing they need is to be invaded by Cybermen.

 		Oh, I do hope Doctor Who has nothing to do with all this. I've managed this long without having anything to do with all that Tardis and Daleks nonsense, I don't want to have to start now

 		Ok, if this is at all Doctor Who related then all of a sudden I think I will be put off of the whole Perplex City thing, I love Perplex City and Doctor Who but together :S Its a bit far fetched really.

 		Mikey, do you always proposition people in such a manner?! I have to say, your comment a bit further up this thread about the effects a collision between PXC & the good Doctor might have on you gave me quite dreadful mental pictures, so I think I shall decline the offer, thanks all the same.

Red Dwarf? Yes. Buffy? Aye. X Files? Absolutely. Doctor Who? Oh dear me no.

 		The whole 'subliminal messages' thing really reminds me of Bad Wolf in Doctor Who. But I think that's more a source of inspiration than a direct link or proof.

Doctor Who and Perplex City exist in completely different universes. Why have them crossover? I don't think it has anything to do with Doctor Who.

But if they wanted to enlist David Tennant into Perplex City for any reason, that would be fine with me. Wink
