The Lost Experience ARG - Map and Travel Guide (UPDATED 6.1.06)

 

The odd part of here is in the World Map. Links to Somalia, Ethiopia, and Guinea are readily available
But there is a hidden one in the Bermuda Triangle Region, and there is code also hidden here that reveals the words MISSING ORGANS -

Mental Health Appeal (or MHA) -
"About the MHA" can be seen in full HERE, and the Article can be seen HERE, also there is a space to "Tell them a little about yourself".
As of yet, nothing but "connection timed out" happens when you fill in the form, no matter what you type in. -

Electromagnetic Reseach Initiative (or ERI) - Article can be read HERE -

Institute for Genomic Advancement - (or IGA) - Article can be read HERE -

Life Extention Project - where you can visit "JOOP's Corner" (the 105 year old orangutan) and leave him a message/view his webcam. Lots of GOODIES in this section.
No matter what you type to JOOP, you will go HERE, where you click 10 glowing circles and are lead to letters both to and from THF employees.
The letter to Dr. Roderick Johnson (of Center for Disease Control), Hugh McIntyre, and Peter Thompson (Hanso employees) from Jacques Maillot (of the Global Welfare Consortium) can be seen HERE. The letter to Dr. Roderick Johnson from Peter Thompson can be seen HERE. And a typed out version of each (courtesy of [B]PandoraX) can be seen HERE.

Also, on the letter from Peter Thompson, if you click his name (below his signature), an audio message plays a womans voice saying "The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority" as THIS text (of what the woman is saying) shows up on the screen.

Then there is the option to sign up for the newsletter. You enter the username you would like, then when asked "can you see this", simply reply YES, then you will be asked for a password. The Password is (exactly this) breakingstrain.
Then you will be taken HERE and granted access. After you've done this, you will no longer need the password, but REMEMBER your username, cause you can check back for messages - SEE. There is also an option to view the TV Ad again.

At the bottom, there are two buttons - "RSS" which leads to an error page (something to be coming soon) and a LOGIN that has not yet been figured out. Now, there are a few side things to mention as well. LOGOS - remember these very well when looking for physical clues.

The ETCH-A-SKETCH effect - this happens once "Persephone" has hacked a particular section of the site.

On Tues, May 2, Season 2 of LOST began in the UK. They were the first to see the Hanso commercial and be offered the Hanso phone number. The next day, during the airing of "Two for the Road", the US saw the commercial and got the number - 1-877-HANSORG. A complete transcription of everything to date from the HANSO Phone Line can be read HERE.

Also, on May 5, The Hanso Foundation issued another press release. It can be read HERE. Hidden in invisotext at the bottom of this press release is a link to http://persephone.thehansofoundation.org revealing a number code that was cracked to reveal this message:

Log in at THF.org May 14 This is safe for now.

5-7-06 - Message 2 from Persephone

A new numerical code appears at http://peresphone.thehansofoundation.org that was cracked to reveal this message - WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE. 8, not 1 and 6.

 

5-8-06 - Persephone Hack 3

The date in Alvar Hanso's bio (October 28, 2003) is now underlined and does the following when you click on it:
"Notice the grainy far away picture?" and shows THIS closeup of Alvar's bio photo
"It doesn't match anyone else?" and now begins circling the date in Alvar's bio like THIS
The following dates are then shown on a Map of Europe (as what appears to be a travel pattern)-
- London 14.06.2000 (going to...)
- Copenhagen 12.11.2000 (back to London, then to...)
- Paris 23.02.2001 (going to...) - Geneva 12.07.2001 (going to a white flashing...)
- Roma 18.09.2001 (back to Geneva, then to Copenhagen, then to an unknown/unseen location, then back to a white flashing...) - Copenhagen 01.01.2001 (then to a flashing...)
- Madrid 31.12.2002
(*note - there is speculation that the correct order of dates should read: Copenhagen 31.12.01 and Madrid 01.01.02)

At this poing a message from PERSEPHONE appears that reads:
"This is the last record of any public appearance of Alvar Hanso. The man hasn't been seen in public since 2002!!!"
By clicking anywhere on the screen these messages flash, and you hear PERSEPHONE say:
IS HE HIDING? ALVAR HANSO WAS NEVER THERE. WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE?
And at the end of all this there is some Morse Code: .../.-/...-/./--/. which translates to SAVE ME

Also, the RSS feed has been updated with the following headline:
Important News
It has come to our attention that our site is experiencing some sort of disruption. Our sincere apologies - please read the full press release on our homepage

So now we wait to see what happens next. :D

UPDATE #1 - 5.9.06 -

Today, the Hanso Foundation placed ads in many US area newspapers.
A copy of the ad from the Philadelphia Daily News can be seen HERE.
Apparently, they're not fans of the book BAD TWIN.

UPDATE #2 - 5.9.06 -

Thomas Mittlewerk's bio changed; there is now a space to type.
Every 15th and 42nd minute the clock changes to OB:EY, which, when clicked on takes you to www.sublymonal.com.
Once you click the spinning tvs 4 8 15 16 23 and 42 times (1 "number" per tv) you are given the password for Mittelwerks Bio: Heir Apparent
Upon entering the password, the following occurs:
You see a creepy looking GIRL that turns around when you click on her
Then you are shown THIS Caltech Tuition report with the words Gary Troup knows too much (hidden under the red) He must be silenced (hidden under the blue) which was later changed to THIS, where the words underneath are no longer visible.
By clicking the title of the Caltech document, you recieve THIS message from PERSEPHONE:

Caltech has no record of this guy in their Alumni database! He's never made a tuition payment...does he even have a college degree? Why does he call himself a Doctor? Of what. Who is this clown? Then you are returned to Mittlewerk's Bio.

 

5-16-06

Forgot to add these as soon as they were discovered.
A copy of the newspaper ad can now be seen on the Hanso site HERE
And a letter to the president of Hyperion books concerning BAD TWIN can be seen HERE

New message at http://persephone.thehansofoundation.org
When cracked, it only says one word - STANDBY.

5-17-06 - Hugh McIntyre hacked!
Hugh McIntyre's Bio Pic is gone and a login is now required (more on this later)

Date on EMI pic now reads Oct. 62, 9291

Click on the coordinates on the EMI page (x-629 y-291 - the center of the graph) to reveal THIS graphic and a link to http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/ - which looks like THIS and has the following as the page title: Permissum Vestri Complector Rector Vos (which, in Latin means Let Your Compass Guide You))

 

At 108 degrees a series of compass points/numbers is seen, and you click there to enter what appears to be the Hanso Foundation's mail server. You are then asked "Are you one of the good ones?" to which you reply Y and you are then taken here - http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/

HughMcIntyre's directory
Mail folder can be accessed. It contains the following directories:
139191991471518711419.jpg - a "JEEP" ad (numbers to letters gives you MISSING ORGANS as the filename here)
CJ7_HATCH.mov - a corny little JEEP commercial with THIS little flash from DHARMA at the end that when anagrammed says THE MOUTHPIECE

ptsig.jpg - a closeup of Peter Thompson's signature from the Roderick letters

]Peter Thompson's Directory
Mail folder - Most of the stuff found here are pages of the agreement with Chrysler/Jeep and can be seen in the above link; however, the INBOX is rather revealing -

So basically they're showing you how to decode the binary. It translates to THE MOUTHPIECE which is the password needed for Hugh McIntyre's Bio - the other part of this MAJOR UPDATE.

THE MOUTHPIECE

When you enter the password, the screen melts, and "deeply committed to family values" is circled like THIS.
When you click on the circled entry, a message from Persephone begins. "Hey, look what I've found .... ...."
"Loading LONDON capture 5.16.2006 - That doesn't look like someone's wife of 15 years! Mr. Family Values indeed!" - while a short clip plays of a woman with Hugh McIntyre. An audio message is heard also (Hugh leaving a message for his wife) - No, no, i just cant make it home. The conference, it went an extra day, tell Megan that I, tell her Happy Birthday"
At this point things begin to fall down the screen. Diamonds, Pills, and a VISA Credit Card. Some of the items flash pink while falling. The first thing you get is THIS bill from the Hotel La Dolce Vita in London, the second thing is THIS bill from La Belle Epoque in Paris.
Persephone then signs off and you are returned to Hugh McIntyre's Bio page.

 

18-06 - Message from Persephone

New message at http://persephone.thehansofoundation.org
Cracked to reveal this message "A mouse does not rely on just one hole" - which also has appeared in Latin on the Blast Door Map (Ep17 - Lockdown).

5-19-06 - Peter Thompson Hacked!

Flashing letters now appear over Peter Thompson's Bio Pic. Those letters were then anagrammed to get SURVIVOR GUILT - this is the password that is typed in HERE (below Peter Thompson's pic) to access the next message from Persephone.

You are given three options - Nuclear, Williamsburg Tobacco, and Globoco Oil.

Each brings up a different message and an image.

Williamsburg Tobacco - Message: 1994 Defended the Williamsburg Tobacco Company against a class action suit on behalf of cancer victims: set a new precedent for corporate vindictiveness by countersuing and driving over 40 plaintiffs into bankruptcy! By clicking "bankruptcy" you get THIS image of a Jungle, and a "mysterious man" (Dr.Candle/Wickman?) appears.

Globoco Oil - Message: 1998 Defended Globoco Oil...and successfully made the world safe for chemical polluters and dumpers of carcinogenic industrial waste in the Florida panhandle -- the incidence of cancer in the affected areas has grown by 75%! By clicking "by 75%" you get THIS image of a Swamp, and again, the "mysterious labcoat man".

Nuclear - Message: 2001 was in the process of making sure the citizens of Southern Georgia got their glow-on by bullyragging the local courts into ignoring widespread protests against a nuclear power plant when he was struck by cancer -- looks like Alvar Hanso saved the wrong guy! By clicking "wrong guy" you get THIS image of a Nuclear facility, and again, the "mysterious man" in a labcoat appears.

Before you are returned to Thompson's Bio page, Persephone leaves one last message: I work for criminals, always have, always will.

 

UPDATE 5-25-06 - Vanderfield and Peck Hacked!

Persephone changed her site again. Now it only reads "2". But combined with her previous clue, http://hole2.thehansofoundation.org was discovered. Currently there is only THIS image there (filename q9als2002.gif).

There is now a CAREERS link on the Hanso Foundation site. It takes you to www.hansocareers.com which currently offers the following jobs:

Personal Assistant to Dr. Thomas Mittelwerk, Copenhagen, Denmark; Organ Courier, Santa Barbara, CA.; Art Therapist/Psychologist, Vik, Iceland; Simian Veterinarian, Zanzibar, Tanzania; Anger Management Director, Seoul, Korea.

Contact - info@thehansofoundation.org

Hidden in each job listing are grey letters that are put together and anagrammed to get the next password - INMATE ASYLUM. Now back to the Hanso site for the next part of the update....

Now that you have the password, go to the Board of Directors page and enter inmate asylum as the password. NO LOGIN NEEDED! Then the screen melts, and you click the password box again to begin Persephone's next message.

 

Houston 5.24.86 - Jacob Vanderfield and Lawrence Peck are arrested by the FBI. Persephone has this to say -

Lawrence Peck was sentenced to 8 years for insider trading, which he subsidized through a retirement fund for a health care union. And as if stealing money from nurses wasn't enough, he also got two years for perjury and obstruction of justice! - with THIS image

Check Vanderfield out: he was sentenced to four years for taking bribes from a Chinese cigarette smuggling syndicate - with THIS image.

You are also shown THIS - the Bench Charge sheets for Vanderfield and Peck's arrests. Then Persephone continues -

But just a couple of months later... Vanderfield wound up serving only 6 months in a federal country club...

Maybe Peter Thompson was his attorney? - with THIS image.

Peter Thompson was on the case and Peck got off with 18 months in a federal minimum security facility - with THIS image.

Finally you are shown THIS sheet on Lawrence Peck, confirming that Peter Thompson was his attorney; then you are returned to the Board of Directors page.

McIntyre Interview
On 5.24.06, Hugh McIntyre appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. You can watch the interview HERE.

5-30-06 - MFI Forecasting Map

There is now an MFI Forecast Map that can be viewed under "Active Projects - Mathematical Forecasting Institute".

The locations are broken down into categories by icon -

Health - Chile, United States, D.Rep.Congo, Italy (where there is a space to type), and Saudi Arabia. Opening and closing Saudi Arabia numerous times causes lines and what appear to be symbols (or scribbles) flash by faster and faster.

Oil - Bolivia, Mali, and India

Economy - Iran, Nambia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States (where there is a space to type)

Population - Algeria, Botswana, Indonesia, and Sudan (where there is a space to type) And there is also a mysterious unmarked location with a backwards message saying: "She was an employee of the foundation."

 

So we have three places to input numbers. Here are the answers:

1. US - Economy - GDP 2005 est = 42000

2. Sudan - Population - Population Growth Rate = 2.55

3. Italy - Health - HIV/AIDS Death Rate 2006 = 10.4/1000

After inputing all the numbers, a circle appears in the Indian Ocean.

Click it to see THIS letter to "the Minister of the Interior Mugato" from Peter Thompson (with a copy of BAD TWIN underneath), and to hear THIS message from Persephone:
The Hanso Foundation - starting wars so you don't have to!

We now also have Peter Thompson's email address from the letter - "PThompson@thehansofoundation.org

Then you are returned to the MFI page

*SMALL UPDATE 5.31.06*
http://persephone.thehansofoundation.org changed to +1 today, and http://hole3.thehansofoundation.org was found with THIS image, titled "t9agen75.gif" that only appeared briefly on the site before being taken down.
The words "Save Me" can be seen up real close underneath the left eye, as well as in an audio wave extracted from the image.

UPDATE 6.1.06

DJ Dan's 6.1 podcast can be heard HERE. See post 1 of that thread for more details.

The image t9agen75.gif reappeared at http://hole3.thehansofoundation.org - it looked the same as before, only this time "D20" was hidden. D20 is the symbol for HEAVY WATER which is our next password....

The "miracle" link in the WWPDP Press Release is now active. Enter the password, heavy water HERE to get this message from Persephone:
Free hospitals for the third world?
Wow! That's nifty.
Ever wonder what the foundation does in these hospitals?

Then you are able to sift through "edited" pages from recent copies of the South African newspaper, The Cape Town Inquisitor

The Cover - showing which pages can be viewed; THIS page is all marked up with Xs; Friday, May 26, 2006; Monday, May 29, 2006 - this page shows that the paper is owned by the Hanso Group, and if you click either HERE or HERE a phone will ring, and you click on the PHONE (to the right of the newsreel) to hear THIS message; and finally THIS image which melts and reveals "Persephone, if you can read this, I know who you are."

You then can click GO BACK to return to the Press Release, which now has the word "people" whited out.

Please refer to the Lost Experience Details for more detailed information.

If I left anything pertinant out, please PM me and I'll add it. Thanks! :)

More to Come.

Peace, Truff
