Italy 04 post was added to Rachel Blake's blog. In this entry, she recounts how she followed Mittelwerk only to find out that she lost him, only to stumble upon a ship loading Hanso Foundation containers on board, destination unknown.

July 10, 2006

A new in game character is possibly introduced when Rachel Blake explains in her Italy 05 post, that a hacker was trying to gain access to Rachel's files, and possibly subvert her attempts to topple the Hanso Foundation. A new link is added to the DJ Dan podcast page, which leads gamers to letyoucompassguideyou.com where DJ Dan's latest podcast is found in the "Owells" folder. In this podcast, DJ Dan tries to drum up support for Rachel Blake, and the call-in game "Where's Hanso".

A new post is added to Rachel Blake's blog. In this short entry, gamers were provided with a link to the LOST Podcast page on ABC.com where they are able to listen to a recording of a phone conversation between Rachel and GidgetGirl by using the login "RBlake" (case sensitive), and the password "FalseDegree". During the phone conversation, Rachel is directed by GidgetGirl to meet her in Paris where she will give Rachel something. A new Hanso Foundation commercial featuring Thomas Mittelwerk airs during a re-broadcast of 23rd Psalm, and again later that night during Jimmy Kimmel Live.

July 13, 2006

Friends on Mandrake Wig's Myspace page receive a message to look out for a Retrievers of Truth update on July14th. MelODrama makes several post in the comments section of Rachel Blake's blogs trying to get confirmation about posting her next video, ending one of the comments with the words, "listen, look, and watch".

July 14, 2006

As promised, a new thread is posted on the Retrievers of Truth forum which leads gamers to a video clip on Broadband Stories featuring Thomas Mittelwerk. In the same thread, it is hinted that BroadBandBeatnik may have defected and accepted a job with the Hanso Foundation. An un-titled post is added to Rachel Blake's blog consisting of only of a picture link leading to sublymonal.com, and the login information "rblake", and "milkcartonman". By using the clue left my melOdrama in the comments section the day before, gamers found Rachel's latest video hidden with-in the Talib Kweli page on the site.

July 17, 2006

BroadBandBeatnik's defection appears to be confirmed when the password at the Retrievers of Truth website is changed to, 1CF11D16-C378-4D5A-B038-00DF9ED171FF.

July 18, 2006

Another untitled post is added to the Rachel Blake blog. By clicking on the picture in the post, gamers were then redirected to letyourcompassguideyou.com where they use the password "honourbar" to access an admin screen, which then in turn leads to Jeep.com where Rachel's latest video entry is under the heading "Crunch Zones".

July 19, 2006

Who videos featuring Thomas Mittelwerk are added to DJ Dan's "Eyes on the Man" page. In the first video, Mittelwerk talks about Joop, and the Life Extension Program, and then the Foundation's Mathematical Forecasting Initiative in the second. The Retrievers of Truth password is changed, for the second time in three days, to "E72CDBF5-94FA-465C-BE5D-0138AE32E38BANDNOITDONTMEANNOTHIN". www.stophanso.rachelblake.com was updated, and now directly links to thf.org lockout screen where gamers find a link to the first Mittelwerk commercial which was first aired on July 12th. At this time, however, direct links to Rachel's blog (http://stophanso.rachelblake.com/index2.html) still allow access, but this may be an indicator that Act Three will be starting in the coming days.
