LOST

May | June

1st June - 7th June | 8th June - 16th June

1st June - The podcast link with today's date on DJ Dan was updated with a link that took you back to www.letyourcompassguideyou.com. After clicking through around 108 degrees, this time you were asked a question - 'Dou you believe?'. Answering 'Y' leads back to the directory (as before), and this time the owelles folder is unlocked, Click on tel_soul.mov to watch the DJ Dan podcast.

And... back on the good ole Hanso site, the Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program section had been updated too - which meant another hidden clue from Ms P was afoot. You needed to go to the press release and click on the word 'miracle'. Lo and behold, this brings up a password box. They get harder and harder to crack all the time - and this was complicated. You had to overlay the image from hole3.thehansofoundation.org (with 'save me' in the eye) with the second image. This gave you D20 - the scientific abbreviation for 'heavy water' doncha know - which is your password. Crikey. I didn't work that one out on my own, in case you were wondering ;)

Anyways - go back to your press release page, click on 'miracle' and enter 'heavy water'. What do you see? Well, there's a little taster in the pic on the right but you really need to go over there and look for yourself. Some heavy-duty stuff on why the Hanso Foundation are so keen to build hospitals in third-world countries. Creepsville.

6th June - I started to get a little worried about Persephone after all went very quiet for several days. But then we noticed that the source code at her site had changed to 'standby' and then we saw that the word 'disease' had been highlighted over at the Institute for Genomic Advancement section of the Hanso site. Clicking on this revealed a message from P saying that she needed more time, and providing a countdown clock.

That same evening, over in the States, there was an advert during ABC show Boston Legal that directed viewers to a site for the Retrievers of Truth. If you don't live in the States and didn't see the ad, then you may have noticed that the images on the IGA section comparing cells had started vibrating. If you moved your cursor over three of these, the words 'Retrievers', 'Of' and 'Truth' displayed below - hinting at this website...

Half the screen grab I've done for you to the right [insert retrievers_small.jpg] is this first site - all about the amazing abilities of golden labradors. Looking around this site, there's all kinds of weird crossovers with the Lost and Hanso - obviously there's the fact that Hanso support the site, but also the (bizarre) picture of Vincent 'Wally' Bolé whose site this is. Vincent of course being the name of Walt's (Wally?!) golden lab on the island. Explore at your leisure.

Next stage was to sign up for the newsletter. This told you a story, and contained the next stage to uncovering the hidden site below the top level - the password 'porter'. Once you entered 'porter' into the newsletter box, you were taken to a hidden forum. This is a site set up by disgruntled employees of Verizon, a broadband company who are being used by by the Hanso Foundation (lower half of screen grab). They are pretty p*ssed off with Hanso, who they consider to be evil. Reading through their messageboards (loads of things to read here) led you to the next clue... A website set up by them: www.richerdeeperbroader.com, ostensibly all about their company. But here, hidden in the source code of the site, is the password 'Parthenogenesis'. Does this mean that the people behind Retrievers of Truth are in cahoots with Persephone? I don't know, but I reckon it's possible.

7th June - The countdown clock on the IGA section disappeared and in its place was a hidden text box, beneath the main picture. This is where you need to enter the password 'Parthenogenesis', discovered yesterday by rooting around the forum on the hidden level of Retrievers of Truth. Enter this password, sit back and watch the images unfold before your very eyes....
