Cube Zero Page #3

No it happens, and then she'll figure out

the letters and uhh... sail through.

And what's the first thing the program

does when the rooms realign to zero position?

- Clean sweep.

- Exactly.

The only thing that's gonna sail

through that is their ashes.

Cheer up buddy.

You'll catch you another one.

The boys upstairs like 'em

young and pretty.

Don't you ever feel guilty?

- Don't you ever feel?

- Son, you're outta line.

- Yeah whatever...

- Excuse me?

Why don't you stop your doodling

and do some work for a change?

Like what?

We're waiting for orders, it's what we

do best. It's what we do.

Clean up your space.

It's disgraceful.

- You're kidding, right?

- Do I look like I'm kidding?

This one's S-D-F.

Wait a minute.

- What?

- I don't know if this makes any difference,

But they're not periods,

They're commas.

He's right.

They're commas.

Okay, so they're commas.

What difference does it make?

We don't even know what

the letters mean yet.

I mean if they were numbers,

I'd understand the commas.

Understand the commas how?

Well isn't that how you plot

coordinates on a graph?

X coordinate, comma, Y coordinate,

comma, Z coordinate.

Right. So if the rooms were

labelled with numbers,

like "10,1,7", you'd know something

about the room's position.

Yeah but we've got letters that so

far tell us absolutely nothing.

That's where you're wrong, soldier.

The letters tell us one important

fact the number never would.

- What fact?

- There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet.

So?

So we know the parameters.

Exactly. If each room has its own

unique letter combination,

Then it's a pretty good bet

that this whole place is a cube

with 26 rooms on each side.

Worst case scenario,

we're anywhere from

- Let's go!

- Great!

Actually, it's your turn to go first.

S-O-S. No kidding.

Ahh.. Guess we'll try another way.

Rains, Rains,

Rains, Rains...

Cassandra.

The little girl's name is Anna.

Protests and strikes.

Troublemakers up north.

The whole country's going to crap.

Ungrateful pigs.

Herregud...

Oh my God,

Oh my God...

What is it now?

Please tell me that's not...

Would you put that away?

There's no consent form.

- What?

- There is not pink page,

the consent form is missing!

- So?

- So?!

You know the rules. She can't

be in there without a consent form!

You think they're gonna stop this whole

operation because you lost a piece of paper?

I didn't lose it.

Look you know how

anal these guys are.

- Maybe she'll get another hearing.

- Listen to yourself!

But this could be huge!

A mistrial!

- Oh sure, anything you say.

- Look...

See?

Told you I recognized her.
