 		I've tried every variation on this PW that I can think of.... capital letters, lower case, space between words & no space.

Still nothing. Every time I get the "user unknown" notification.

I'm seeing the letters flash by on the bio pic.

Is there something else I need to have done first, as I read on another thread that the site tracks your behavior.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think i wrote it exactly like this: survivor guilt


If that doesn't work, empty your cache and reload the site. It never fails.

Is the change to first person significant?


I'd say it answers a lot of questions.

I work for criminals. Always have, always will.


This is the last Executive bio that Persephone has gone through and revealed background information of. I'd say this makes it obvious who we are dealing with-Persephone is a Hanso Foundation employee ("I work for criminals". She's been showing us the things these guys have been doing. Acts of evil, criminal acts.) but "Always have, always will" catches me as unusual. Is Persephone a creation of the Hanso Foundation ("Always Have") that was created solely for the purpose of working for them. Why has she been doing all this if she doesn't believe it will result in the Hanso Foundation closing down, or her losing her job at the least ("Always Will")?

The plot thickens... Persephone fascinates me, now. Peter Thompson though... damn. But...

Why do I get the feeling that his "miraculous" disappearing cancer is much the same as how all the people on the Island were healed when the plane crashed? A clone?

I think you are trying to put the password in the wrong place. Do not write it in the LOGIN space next to the RSS button, but in the blank space directly below the picture - there is a line there - your cursor should change its shape when you can write.

I would say it is 'Prosecution'.

There is also a large 'P' to the right of the lined paper. (bottom right corner)
Would you say there is something on top of the paper or is the image cropped along the right edge?

EDIT I think the papers are in a pocket of the folder.

BTW - well done for getting the letters. That's amazing!


Thanks, but it's not because I have super-acuity. If I keep my browser window open and then go to another application, the flash movies slow down to a crawl. Makes it much easier!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I still don't believe the whole idea of the clone yet, there is no hard proof pointing to it - besides, the clones would have to have been born around the same time as the original person...unless THF has been cloning for decades, there is no way this could be true. Identical twins may be more likely.

 		I work for criminals
Interesting take on Persephone DM, and one that I think has a lot of merit. Maybe Persephone is bound to the Foundation because she too was cured of something, but by Alvar and not the jerks who are runnign the place now. She is exposing the corruption of the org. to which she owes so much.

Or she a sentient AI! Those are always popular in ARGs.

But also, could we be reading too much into that last line? Was the switch to first person merely stylistic? As in, you are describing someone's actions, then concluding they are an idiot. You might list the litany of idiocies and then say "duh, I'm an idiot, always have been, always will." In other words, Persephone could be speaking in Thompson's "voice" for effect.

In any case, more reason than ever to keep our eye on her.

 		Doesn't the thing to the left of where persephone writes look like the first step in a game of Hangman?

Don't need to spoilier Series 1 stuff. Maybe the Air Mashal wasn't needed? Maybe he fought back somehow?

Well, problem with that is, Peter is the Vice President, he can't be working for "criminals" because he only has 1 boss. However, if he is referring to these jobs, it makes little sense that Persephone would go from talking as herself to talking and pretending to be Peter. If that is what she is trying to do, it is not put over very well. In my eyes, she is referencing herself as working for all the Executives, as she has now shown us all the "criminal" things they have done.

Oh I think you're probably right, I'm just looking at all the angles. So why would Persephone "always" work for them if they are crooks and she is exposing them? That will be interesting to find out. Who or what would always be bound to the Hanso Foundation?

Can you use this same technique to figure out what's flashing in the tobacco/oil/nuclear videos? It doesn't work for me.
