Clue #56 - Persephone (20) RachelBlake.com & P's Page Update

Viewing the page source of www.thehansofoundation.org leads us to www.rachelblake.com (her blog is powered by Blogger...just like ours!). You might notice a box under the words "Extra info" in which you can enter text. To find out what to enter go to persephone.thehansofoundation.org.

Persephone's site was updated and it's kinda creepy. Listen to the audio and you'll hear text talking over it saying "101 118 105 100 101 110 116 32 97 103 101 110 100 97" but backwards. When you change from decimal to ascii you get "evident agenda". You now have the password to enter into the "Extra info" box on Rachel Blake's blog. You will be taken to stophanso.rachelblake.com.

Enjoy!

I actually tracked with most of this one by myself but thanks to Moss Z06 & Belconto318 for being the very first to email us! *And a special thanks to CoolMan0912 for info about the "evident agenda" password.

If you let it play for about two minutes, there is a backwards voice. It sounds like numbers if you play it backwards. I thought it was just ones and zeros but there are other numbers in there. I can't really make it out as my recorder app blows.

if you play the numbers backwards you get the password "evident agenda"- for Rachel's extra info.

these are the numbers i got think i missed some because of the noise:

6/19/2006 01:56:00 PM  
Blogger NobleLawyer said...

so to get the password, you have to record the sound, play it backwards, get the numbers, then translate the numbers for the password "evident agenda". Right?

She's excepting comments now... Not sure if she'll ever respond as the REAL her though....

And since monster.com isn't mentioned anywhere on the site.... I'm guessing this isn't EXACTLY how we were supposed to find out the site...

Frankly though, I like this way better.

couple of things.
Note the header "-" is similar to the one at persephone.thehansofoundation.org "--"
also if you goto blank.rachelblake.com you get the Hanso down for maintenance page. I tried persephone.rachelblake and a couple of hole#.rachelblake. Thats kinda wierd.

Something strange on Rachel's site, when you go there it says My European Vacation, when you highlight around European, copy it into word and black it, it says My European Holiday. Why the difference?

pyscouno: I agree with you that the pic on persephone's site is very similar to the asian woman opening THF site. Definitely the eyes look Asian.

I think TBTB have found quite a clever way to cover over the early release of the RB video. Guess we'll be bombarded with more advertisers.

Richfromabove - Thanks, I am not sure the Hackett film is real yet, it was found a little bit ago and we could not figure out it's meaning or place at the time, it could be real and in game, still to be determined...

Thomas Mittlewerk - I am so scared, bring it on...what are you going to do, huh? You are but one little man against the masses, your lies and evil deeds will be brought to light, and that is the real deal!

I wonder if this Rachel Blake clue was MEANT to go live at the same time as savejoop.com reached 10000. WAY too much of a coincidence if you ask me for it not to be. Could be wrong.

And just so you know. The sound that comes up on joop.com here freaks me out much more that tne sound on persephones site. (I just crapped it when it came on just now even though I have heard it countless times)

Belly: Totally agree that Rachel/MelODrama was scripted. When you see it by itself it flows along. They don't acknowledge anyone else. Whoever was entering their comments must have been posting parts of the script every so often between the rest of our comments.

wizardary: When I first saw the P video, the Hanso "greeter" came to mind. Definitely she looks Asian.

lostie:
I use a free program that comes with creative soundcards called wave studio. It can record what you hear in the background. Then you can manipulate it. I am sure the much more professional soundforge can do it but there will no doubt be a mass of free recorder available on the net if you search google. (I dont know this but I assume so. I just quickly grabbed one called "pocket voice recorder" though it doesnt do a good job so I would look for another.

Has anybody got a link to the swf file for the last clue on THF. None of the ones linking to the hanso site work now. Did anybody save it locally then publish it then link it?

I havent shown my mum yet and I promised her something cool. Boo hoo.

I am guessing that these will be available elsewhere through people who have save the flash and republished. If not then we are screwed for going over some of this older stuff.

Argh! I just helped someone get into the game, and now the Hanso site is completely shutdown (hmmm, was that supposed to be the case for when we see Rachel showing us her computer?) and the old clues won't work!

Also, with the Persephone site, the title is --, morse code for 'm'. You could make something from that (eg, m in conjunction with the - from the standard title display (before the Browser name) gives you m and t... empty. "Noone is home" indeed). Could also be nothing. But has Persephone simply moved house?

And if Monster are completely in the dog house, why is HansoCareers still up?

The red herrings have me flumoxed but I'll give this a whirl anyway:

A message posted yb Alvar Hanso to Rachel in the comments leads to this page:

http://specialward.blogspot.com/2006/06/namaste.html

Special Ward? A new path or password...

If you do a google search for mel0Drama there's a link to a rather cryptic error message with another link in the source code to an ad not on the page (could be a total red herring but there ya go) for tribal fusion:

http://gostats.com/v2/report.pl?mn=mel0drama&confirm=t

What to do when you get there? No idea! I sometimes think this Experience makes you see things where there's nothing to see... I was creeped just looking at a site that's probably totally innocuous. That's the beauty of this grand experiment I suppose...
