For those who own Volume 2, I have been informed that the Vault is now open.
Strangely, there have been no further posts however, and I implore anyone with the answers to not be silent, but to remain helpful to the other members who have questions or require hints. Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for your assistance. Fear not, help is on the way. When I have finished my chores for the day I will spend some time updating hints.

Hints are up for most of the vault keys. I'll try to finish off tomorrow if no one else gets to it first.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Let us know how we can help.

For others to play along, here is a reconstruction of The Curator's April 12, 2016 email: My dearest [First Name], Oh, you crackerjack collective of astute analysts! I was certain, despite the relentless judgement from naysayers, that our fastidious mechanisms for membership approval would produce an assemblage of an unconventional sort: those who apperceive a world of omnipresent wonder. Far more heartwarmingly, to my mind, they vivaciously investigate every curiosity... even the innocent musings of an old man. As the Spring finally begins to stretch its legs, now is a superb time to consider sending one of our curated experiences to someone you hold in highest esteem. Whether it is for a new graduate who has completed their final year of school, or for a dear friend that needs a small lift up after a difficult winter, we have stories that will bring joy to your kith and kin. It has been relayed to me that my previous missive, on the nature of the musical transition, has even the most restless of members stirred, taking note of the minute details I used to advance an understanding of transition. Some presumed the foreshadowing of a new experience. However, when we introduced Risen! to our members, we hardly sent missives written entirely in Russian! Were there clues? Perhaps. And yet, perhaps not. If you have learned anything from us, it is that we do not tip our hats until we have had sufficient amusement observing your state of bewilderment, unphased by the chatter. Glorious! A perfect transition into our musing today — fittingly, the matter of matter. As has been asserted, all bodies in our world experience transition, whether they be distraught and frenzied at their awareness of the passing of time (a portrait befitting most members of our species), or dispassionate and unconcerned, despite the abrasion suffered by the winds, rains, and of course, the feet of the sentient beings with whom they share a planet. Our solid ground, liquid sea, and gaseous atmosphere are, quite certainly, phased by this transition, and through a sort of magic, become each other! And we must not discount the magical study first required before any scientific understanding could be fathomed! Imagine the wonder that famed alchemists Valentine and Ripley experienced when, through the crude lens of the late 16th century, they observed a transition from solid to gas, the spiritualization of the body and the substantiation of the spirit, simultaneously. With so little understanding, this much was understood: nothing, not even the earth and oceans and sky, are safe from change! I am unflappable in my belief that each and every member, even those with only a rudimentary public education, has retained the minutiae regarding thermodynamic transformations through the years — the deposition of gasses, the sublimation of solids, evaporation of water, the deionization of plasmas, and so on. This now offers me the opportunity to change the subject and discuss our much beloved Curios and Conundrums where liquid ink and solid newsprint combine in your mind to form ideas and thoughts. And what peculiar thoughts indeed! However, time runs short for those keen to receive the expanded 12 page broadsheet and the artifacts that accompany the shipment. Subscribe today to ensure that you receive the second chapter: The Child of the Cavern in a timely fashion. Remember, if you have already subscribed, there is no need to subscribe again. Once again, for those Company constituents craving a complete Curios and Conundrums collection, calm your concerns: while supplies last, you may, much like that splendid sublimated spirit, both catch-up and complete. Back issues are available on our website, of course. I am wearied now. I suffer the fatigue of one who has been inundated with transition for far too long. Perhaps, in my upcoming missive, this particular phase will have completed its transition. As always, should you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me, and I shall endeavour to respond posthaste. Your servant, The Curator

The new vault for volume three issues one and two is now open. The link to it is in the description on the Curios and Conundrums page of the MPC website. It also has both the previous volumes 1 and 2. It's pretty interesting!

I have been stuck on the 6th key. I believe it is the one with the word need in the clue. I believe I have all the others and the correct order. Could someone send me a PM with a nudge on which puzzle it is related to? I think I have solved them all, but I must be missing something. Many thanks! Update: Perused the thread titles and realized I completely missed a puzzle from issue 1!
