If you're reading this, you want to know more, so I'm not holding back here.
QUESTIONS RAISED - much like the show, the ARG will raise potential storyline questions. As it draws on, some of the questions will be answered, and more raised (again, just like the show). Here I will attempt to maintain a list of questions raised and answers given (when/if we recieve them).
- who is Persephone really?
- Between Nov.12,2000 and Jan.1,2001 Alvar Hanso made a trip to a destination that we are not shown. It was figured out that this location was Moscow. Why did Alvar go to Moscow? Why weren't we shown this....why was it kept from us?
- why was the hidden message "Gary Troup knows too much. He must be silenced" removed?
- why are Mittelwerk and Thompson's Bios NOT scribbled upon after Persephone hacked it, like all the other hacked areas?
- why was Hugh McIntyre's picture removed?
- why is there no Photo for Liddy Wales?
- 13/9/19/19/9/14/7 15/18/7/1/14/19 appears in the hidden "bermuda area" location in the WWPDP World Map. Using a simple letter to number switch, you get the words MISSING ORGANS. How do Missing Organs play into all this? - ANSWER - Hanso is involved in some very shady dealings with their privately funded hospitals! To what end, we have not yet discovered.....
- Alvar Hanso hasn't been seen in public since 2002. Who is running The Hanso Foundation?
- Thomas Mittelwerk never graduated from Caltech. Why is he calling himself a Doctor? Who is this clown?
- the man in the MHA photo pops up an awful lot - hidden in Joops webcam, and now hidden in the Peter Thompson hack with his face blacked out. Why is this guy so important?
- Why is Peter Thompsons signature seen on the letter to Dr. Roderick Johnson drastically different than the one on the Daimler/Chrysler agreement documents?
- who is the "she" that is referred to in the unmarked mysterious backwards message in the MFI map?
- who is Darla, and what happened in Sri Lanka (in possible relation to Hugh McIntyre)?
- what are some of the active projects of Paik Heavy Industries and the Widmore Corporation?
- what is this "confidential information line" that Mittelwerk will be continuously updating? How can we access it?
- what was the Accelerated Remote Viewing Training Facility renamed to?
- what is the Korean Offshore project, and why are there folks all up in a tiff over it?
WHERE TO LOOK - here I want to keep a list of all the places for potential updates
- When the Hanso site loads, and the woman is talking, there is a CONTACT link that is not available on the main page, only in the intro animation can it be seen.
- If you TAB through the options, on the bottom left there is there is a little yellow box. If you click on it, it moves the green spotlights in the background from the top and right, to the middle, to the bottom left.
- bottom right of page - LOGIN....does nothing so far (thanks RE folks), but I imagine that when it does, it will be pretty cool.
- once you've logged in with the newsletter (the first thing you do when accessing the site for the first time) you can check back for messages.
- the "News" update on May 12, 2006 introduced us to http://thehansofoundation.org/press/extra/uploads/ where we found the legal notice to Hyperion about BAD TWIN. *NOTE - The London folder is currently empty.
- Liddy Wales and Dick Cheever's Bios are Login/Password protected....does nothing so far (thanks again RE folks)
- there is no information or pictures for Conakry Hospital in Guinea or the International Aid Effort in Ethiopia in the WWPDP World Map.
- no matter what you type in "tell us a bit more about yourself" in the MHA section, the connection times out. This section does nothing yet. (again, thanks RE folks)
- besides "Inquire Today", the following words in Alvar's quote also open the "tell us a bit more..." box: "not merely be", "rightest lights, but", "test lights the way for", "t shine for"
- in Joops Corner, you can type below the green "Joop's Corner" logo. However no matter what you type, it does nothing (again, thanks RE folks)
www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/
- Another potential RED HERRING ALERT!! One of the "Diary" writers, Janelle Granger also has a directory at Hanso - http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/jgranger/ - much like the Diary, take anything you see here with a grain of salt.
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES - yeah, we've solved some puzzles and noticed some changes, but there are still things that have occured that we don't fully understand.
- If you TAB through the options, on the bottom left there is there is a little yellow box. If you click on it, it moves the green spotlights in the background from the top and right, to the middle, to the bottom left.
- After viewing Alvar's travel map, there is some Morse Code: .../.-/..-././--. which translates to SAFE G - this has no significance yet. - SOLVED - The correct translation of the Morse code is .../.-/...-/./--/. = SAVE ME
- The words "Alvar", "world" and the letters "st" (from the word "standards") are whited out of Alvar's Bio once Persephone has hacked it. Could it mean Alvar, World Saint? or are these whited out parts just a result of the hack, like the scribbling? Also a similar effect in Hugh's bio once hacked; the letters "exte" (from extensive) and the word "are" are whited out. Now we can also add the word "people" whited out from the WWPDP Press release post-hack.
- the words "Zambia", "More soon", and "Steevo" are whited out in the MFI info article.
- the date of the EMI image changed from Oct 28, 2001 to Oct 62, 9291 when we were introduced to letyourcompassguideyou.com - SOLVED - the date numbers are the coordinates for the emi graph that takes you to letyourcompassguideyou.com - 62, 9291 or 629, 291.
- besides "Inquire Today", the following words in Alvar's quote also open the "tell us a bit more..." box: "not merely be", "rightest lights, but", "test lights the way for", "t shine for"
- Peter Thompsons signature seen on the letter to Dr. Roderick Johnson is drastically different than the one on the Daimler/Chrysler agreement documents
wanna know how a code was cracked, or where a particular site or password came from? Here's the place to look.
- Where did the password "Breakingstrain" come from? - On the UK Hanso phone line, during option 1, Persephone would cut in and give you the password.
- How did you find persephone.thehansofoundation.org? - hidden invisotext on the May 5, 2006 Press Release introduces us to persephone.thehansofoundation.org
- How did you get "Heir Apparent" as the password for Thomas Mittelwerks Bio? - 15 minutes past the hour, the clock on the Hanso site flashes OB:EY and links to www.sublymonal.com, where, once clicking on the tvs (use the numbers), you are shown the password and given a link back to the Hanso bios.
- How did you find the London folder? - - the "News" update on May 12, 2006 introduced us to http://thehansofoundation.org/press/.../newspaper.gif (The Newspaper ad). Backtracking one directory to /paris, we found the legal notice to Hyperion about BAD TWIN. And back another directory to /uploads to reveal the currently empty London folder.
- Where did MISSING ORGANS come from? - - 13/9/19/19/9/14/7 15/18/7/1/14/19 appears in the hidden "bermuda area" location in the WWPDP World Map. Using a simple letter to number switch, you get the words MISSING ORGANS. (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc). Also, there is an image in Hugh McIntyre's mail folder at http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.co...hmcintyr/mail/ called 13919191471518711419.jpg (same numbers to letters)
- Where did the DJ Dan site come from? - if you "view source" for the Hanso site, the link is right there in the top of the script
- How did you know to enter 108 as the code on the sublymonal site to hear DJ Dan's 5/26 podcast? - Persephone left a hint in the source code on sublymonal telling us to "look at the plane". One of the images that flashes is the tail of a plane with "108" written on the back.
www.letyourcompassguideyou.com
- Where did "The Mouthpiece" password come from? - In Peter Thompson's Mail folder here - http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.co...pso/mail/INBOX - there is some Binary code - 01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001101 01101111 01110101 01110100 01101000 00100000 01010000 01101001 01100101 01100011 01100101 - that when plugged into a decoder, it decodes to "The Mouthpiece". And since this update occured at the same time as a login being needed for Hugh's Bio, it was assumed that this was correct (and verified by the good RE folks)
persephone.thehansofoundation.org
So far a different but similar method was used to decrypt each message. Here's how:
Message 1 - 106 98 111 32 117 98 115 32 114 115 110 102 32 102 118 32 102 118 101 71 32 49 32 108 110 90 32 116 117 98 46 83 69 71 32 103 110 32 111 118 32 116 98 73 - plug these numbers into a decoder gives you this - jbo ubs rsnf fv fveG 1 lnZ tub.SEG gn ov tbI - rot13 of this gives you this - wob hof efas si sirT 1 yaM gho.FRT ta bi goV - reversing it gives you this - Vog ib at TRF.ohg May 1 Tris is safe foh bow
Swap the V with L, the b with n, the R with H, and the h with r, you get - Log in at THF.org May 1 This is safe for now - (Or if we Rot13 the number "1", we get May 14th. Using rot5 on "1" we get May 6th.) *NOTE - all possible dates have past, so it's a moot point which was correct.
Message 2 - 72 65 83 32 87 73 78 32 72 79 83 84 32 80 67 32 73 78 32 78 73 76 32 85 82 71 69 46 32 56 44 32 110 111 116 32 49 32 97 110 100 32 54 46 - plugged into the decoder gives you this - HAS WIN HOST PC IN NIL URGE. 8, not 1 and 6. - which is anagrammed to - WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE. 8, not 1 and 6.
Message 3 - 115 116 97 110 100 98 121 - plugged into the decoder gives you one word - STANDBY
Message 4 - 106 103 157 162 235 45 122 202 39 122 26 39 162 218 222 151 42 39 142 87 168 186 - plugged into the decoder gives this string of Base64 code - amedoustesonehonotrelyonjleoug== - which is anagrammed to - a mouse does not rely on just one hole (a phrase that appeared in Latin on the Blast Door Map)
Now I'm sure there will be things that yal will feel should be added here. Please PM me your suggestions, and I will scrutinize over each one to determine their place (if any) in here.
Thanks, and ENJOY!
Peace,
Truff
