Act Two of the game begins.
Suspicions about the
Rachel Blake video are increased when it is removed from Monster.com.
June 19, 2006
A new discussion thread is added to the Retrievers of Truth forum, which leads
gamers to a short video by
DJ Dan
mixed in with a series of promotional videos on the “
Broadband
Stories” page of the Verizon site.
A video is posted by “thejeepchanel”, which is the screen name of the jeep
account that previously posted the other Jeep videos,
apologizing for the
DJ Dan sellout video.
A new “Orientation” style clip is found via a clue that periodically flashes
on the “
lock out”
screen on the Hanso Site. Among the many images that flashe during the clip, is
a hand holding a card with the words “Evident Agenda” which is later found to be
the password to rachelblake.com.
The
Rachel Blake
character is confirmed when a ghostly image is posted on persephone.thf.org
along with a new set of numbers found in a backwards audio message, and a url
embedded in the source code that leads gamers to www.rachelblake.com. By
translating the numbers found in the backwards audio, the password, “evident
agenda”, is found which is then used to gain access to Rachel’s personal blog.
The thf.org site goes into complete
lock down preventing
gamers from accessing it, even blocking direct links and backdoor hacks.

the pictures.

A link leading gamers to,
http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lost/, is posted on Rachel Blake’s blog which
has a
hidden audio
recording of a discussion between Thomas Mittelwerk, and a man named Minsu
speaking in Korean. In this conversation, the two men discussed a ship that was
being built by Paik-Heavy Industries.
An instant message log between
OpenersHep (which is
an anagram for Persephone) and wtkFleet35, is found in “trash” folder in the
directory on letyourcompassguideyou.com.
Rachel’s Copenhagen 02 video is
removed from the
Broadband Stories website.
June 23, 2006
The correspondence between Mel0Drama and Rachel in her Copenhagen01 post is
changed to include “Me: Cool. Gotta go. I’ve got 43 things to do to stop their “
better
tomorrow“.
Copenhagen05 is
posted on Rachel Blake’s blog, which first leads gamers to www.43things.com.
Clues on this site eventually lead to sublymonal.com where the password “better
tomorrow” is used to access a directory where another
video is hidden.
