[NEW][VIDEO] Monster.com

Someone over at the tailsection was digging around monster.com today and stumbled across this video in the celebrity career advice section:
VIDEO
It features a woman named Rachel Blake who appears to be in a hotel room. She's talking about taking down the Hanso Foundation. I'm not sure if this is in game or not, but if it is then maybe this is our new contact since THF.org has been shutdown. She mentions something about her blog saying that she is on vacation but that is just a cover story. I have done a little searching and have'nt been able to find this blog. What do you all think? Legit or not? Is it possible that we just stumbled upon it too soon?

People over at Inside the Experience also found this video, and all of their comments were deleted by Speaker, which leads me to think that Monster.com wasn't supposed to release the video yet.

What did QARG and Speaker discuss, any word? I checked the threads, it seems kinda OOG, the way it was being played out.

(And Matt, I liked your dam analogy)

Why thank you. But it was a reference to something Desmond said in season 2.

Heh heh heh.

Well, it remains to be seen what the PMs will do, how they'll swing this to their favour. Will they reorganize their reveals, or will they just fake it out and act all surprised when the proper time comes?

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing more of Rachel. Yowza. Smile

Truthfully, though, it seems like this video was Stage 2 of the game, which seems to be beginning right about now. It's a total recap for everyone who may be joining the game late, and setting up what will happen. I'm guessing this was supposed to be released early next week, when Rachel would have had a chance to go "Oh hey, Hanso shut down their site," and actually, I dunno, blog and fly to Denmark.

Either way, they could likely manage to work it in without, I dunno, pretending it didn't exist. I think Speaker (hey Speaker!) lost some cred with that, yes?

Also, maybe it was my bad connection (I usually don't get good streaming quicktime) but that Rachel vid jumped around a lot. For example, after her phone rang it cut to black, then quickly cut to her with her head on one hand, and then she's talking normally in her original position, like nothing happened. Did everyone else see that or is it just me?

edit: hadn't done the latest update, so thf was there...for me.

That's the way the video is suppose to be I'm assuming. One of those "Oh who called and why did she look all upset about it!" cliffhanger things.

It's going on right in front of us.

All we have to do is open our eyes.

0:17 - Video starts, dark, frozen momentarily.
0:25 - Map is open, facing down.
0:27 - Shadow fills the room.
0:37 - Map laid back down, closed.
0:51 - There is a cut just after she says "the fuse."
0:52 - Close up on her face during the second time she says "the fuse."
0:54 - Cut back to full. Map still closed.
1:03 - Cut, blurred. Map is open, face down.
1:10-1:12 - The video freezes as she says, "here's what we do know."
1:32 - A blur on the video as she says "haze."
1:38 - Cut. Map is now open, facing up.
1:46 - Close up on her after the DHARMA logo.
1:50 - Phone rings; she looks over to her right and then back.
1:53 - Cut to black. "Hello?"
1:54 - Garbled text is heard, then a beeping tone.
1:55 - Cut back to full. Map still open face-up.
1:56 - There is speech, but I don't know what it is. It could either be "we found you," "they found her," or even "they found you." I have no clue.
1:57 - The sound of a phone being put back into its receiver.
2:00 - Cut beginning with, "And three," map open, face-down.
2:15 - Cut beginning with "Now," map off to the right side, closed.
2:34 - Close up on her face as she says, "this guy."
2:43 - Cut to bed. Many cuts seem to be made but are probably unimportant.
2:57 - Cut to her during the final speech. No cuts made from here on out.

Sorry about the length, but I put this here in order to figure out the order of this video, since it seems to be spliced together.

By the way, if anyone's interested, THIS is the map that she's using.

I like how she quotes persephone about mittlewerk, "he calls himself a doctor, but a doctor of what"
I find that interesting.

It seems like everything she is quoting is just regurgitating Persephone.

That I did notice when I first saw it. I wonder what her blog says, if her blog pops up.

I think she's probably quoting Persephone because she's meant to be someone who has been following the Lost Experience, just like us. After discovering that the Hanso site was no longer accessible to her, it seems she took matters into her own hands and went to Denmark.

I thought she was Persephone? Maybe I'm crazy. I just thought they sounded similar.

I thought she was Persephone, mostly because I noticed the same 'music' that plays during her hacks, going on at some points during the video.

Also damn, she was bloody hot.

Towards the beginning of the video she says, "Thanks to the help of Persephone..." so that implies she's not her. Of course it's still a possibility, but my personal opinion is that she's just a a regular girl taking things into her own hands - or possibly someone from Verizon (ROT).

I don't think it will be towards the end of the game until Persephone's real identity will be shown, and I sure hope it's surprising.
