Well, the story behind Persephone the mythical one is "One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her." So maybe Persephone was abducted as a child and used as an experiment by the Hanso Foundation, hence her always having worked there.

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


I've been trying!!

On the nuclear screen, the only thing I can make out is a flash of the Dharma symbol and what looks like a scribbled letter "B".

On the tobacco screen, like I wrote before, I can make out the flash of some documents, some scribbled letters would could spell out the word "don't," and the words DONT BELIEVE HIS LIES.

On the oil screen, there is a flash of at least one word that I haven't been able to see yet [EDIT: the word is LIES], and most creepy of all.. what looks like the lower half of a woman's face in the reflection on the oil slick pond. The overall impression of that is very similar to:

Notice at the end is says "I work for criminals, always have, always will."

Is the change to first person significant?

I think we need to find out persephone's true identity - she is the one who hacked the site internally and it privy to all of this information - maybe she is liddy?


Could be, I've always wondered why Libby doesnt have a picture up.

You should be more specific really. Y'know, just for the sake of people who have seen just a bit of series two. Where in the series?

I wish there was a way to records and play back flash movies.

Wait, i'm sure there is one somewhere...

Because Sprite didn't pony up enough cash for the PMs to license generic female executive images from Getty too?? Wink

Swish.
anyway...according to one of my 'inside sources' one of the things that flashs past in those file vids is a dharma symbol...can't verify this though as my 'inside source' is a stoner and probably dreamt this...

Can anyone make out the name of the file that does not lead you to a flash pic? Starts with a P.


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.




In my attempts to see the "large 'P'," I can't see it for nothing. Is it in the black area. Maybe my monitor is too dark or something, but I really don't see any "P" at all.

As for the small word starting with a "P," I thought maybe it said "Prescriptions."

I don't know how you guys can make out the flashed words at all. One thing of note though, when you click on "Nuclear" for the 2001 clue, the person that appears looks to me like that picture of the person brought up in the layers behind the Alvar Hanso picture. You know that old guy with the high forehead that doesn't look anything like the blurry picture of Alvar.

Then in the middle one (the 1994 clue), is that a face on the mountain. Also, the image about where you click looks to be superimposed on the rest. Can anyone isolate that with all your photo enhancement techniques?
Actually, strike that, going back there a second time it looks different. That face on the mountain is now if the foreground and the superimposed image is more clearly another person.

In the 1998 clue picture, is that a dead guy lying face down in a swamp with his arms outstretched? And can anyone make out what it is where you have to click?

BTW, what does "bullyragging" mean?

 		Is this something?

After doing all this, if you go back to Joop's Corner where you reply (replying still does the same thing btw), the picture looks different. In the lower right corner there's a smudged out word in red followed by a green triangle as though it were in superscript.

I hadn't noticed this before.

 		joop change?
Definitely looks to me like Joop's pic has changed - you can still periodcially see the doctor, but now there seems to be something else as well.

When I first looked I thought I could detect the Mona Lisa's left eye and smile, but maybe it is just all the Da Vinci Code ads invading my mind.

 		You think maybe we are looking to hard at that image that comes up? Maybe all we are supposed to see is a suit. The term "suit" is sometimes used as a nickname for businessmen, and is also short for lawsuit. I don't mean to keep anyone from looking deeper into this image, just throwing some thoughts out there.

Well, I'd like to think that Persephone is the friendly, competent Asian lady on the intro page. Her comfortable, neutral-toned clothes and slightly off-kilter way of speaking is a cover for her seething rage against the Hanso Foundation, I'm sure of it.
