New Rachel Post and New Video Clip!
Mucho thanks to super sleuth Alison who tipped us off to today's discovery:
Head on over to the blog of the lovely, and toothy, Rachel (HERE).
You will see a noggin image and a username and login: "rblake" & "honourbar" (I didn't have to use it, but 'Ultra Violet' author Ellen did). Clicking on the image will take you to the Jeep/Compass site (HERE), and by clicking on "252" then "my_docs" you get access to a new folder titled "zero_n_such." Obvious to everyone but me, it's an anagram for "crush zone."
Click on the new folder and head on over to the Jeep vehicle site. Look for a "crush zone" description on the featured Jeep and enjoy the new clip.
After doing this, we now have a few questions:
• What's up with the "honourbar" password? Hidden meaning? Canadian spelling?
• Who is Rachel's new ally? Your theories?
• Who is Rachel? What's her true identity? Anyone? Anyone?
Movable Type 4.1
i think she is alvar hanso's lovechild
I think Persephone is dead and Rachel has taken over. Or maybe not, I dunno. But I like the idea of her being Alvar's love child! She has to be related to one of them otherwise there wouldn't have been all the mention of lying in her genes, the emotional stuff about her mother etc.
By the way click on the word 'lost' when you get to the error page of the jeep compass site.
Ok so i've gotten to an error page when I click the zero_n_such but I see no lost or anything to click on when I get there and I cant find anything just navigating through the jeep site. need help por favor.
Aiight, here's my theories to those questions.
1. honourbar - obviously to do with the hotel, other than that...who knows. (milkcartonman, anyone?)
2. The ally -- I have a feeling that he (like Rachel) is someone personally invested in bringing down the Hanso foundation, but has been working from the inside. Something pushed him over the edge (perhaps the death of Darla), causing him to blow up, blow his cover, and now, he's on the run.
3. Rachel's identity - Clearly, the Man in Black knows exactly who she is. And, being the only one in the entire freakin' game who hasn't said to her, "Wh...why are you doing this...?", he must have some idea as to her motives. My strongest guess (the one I've had for a while, and I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way) is that Rachel's father was/is a part of Hanso, maybe even someone we would know. Unlike many, though, I don't think it's Mittelwerk. (Or Alvar.) But somebody. And her new ally may be more connected to her than she realizes at this point.
One conspicuous thing stood out to me...why does our man refer to the gun as "this thing", he uses for "protection" from "them"? What kind of a gun is it, exactly? What is it carrying? Some kind of vaccine? If so...then..why would it still be fatal to Rachel?
And one more thing...those glasses she puts on at the end...glasses-cam? (If so, the next video should be off the heezy for sheezy, y'all) OR... a further clue...into her "real" (and possibly dorky?) identity?
Might be nothing but "honour bar" is anagram of on/no harbour.
Big maybe, it might link to the Helgus Antonius?
I loved her putting on the glasses-cam right before turning off the camera. Awesome spy-girl stuff right there.
Now that I think about it, I, too believe she must be Hanso's daughter. Can't believe it hadn't crossed my mind before.
milkcartonman could be a ref to someone going missing, i remember that someone (yes it is a dodgy source) said that they saw walt on a milk carton in the hatch on one of the eps after the others took him from the raft (as in he was missing) spooky, yes.
I followed all the instructions above, but couldn't find "crush zone" on any of the vehicle descriptions--where can I watch the new video?!
Ellen: On the compass site, click the 252 area, log in with the info Rachel provided on the blog entry. Then go into the mydocs folder and click the zero_n_such link, which takes you to the Jeep site. Click on the word "LOST" in the phrase "well one of us is lost". That brings up the Jeep hot zones thing -- click "SAFETY/SECURITY" in the left nav and then roll over the orange hotspots until you find "crush zones." Click it, video window pops in below, click "Watch demo." Voila!
Ok for real every time I click the file to take me to the Jeep site it says page cannot be found. I dont know if anyone else is having this problem but I dont know what else I can do to get there if anything. Is anyone capable of helping me with this?
Ellen: Try this link -- it's the one that the zero_n_such link goes to:
http://www.jeep.com/zero_n_such
Or try this one, which is the next link in the path:
http://www.jeep.com/en/compass/
I think the guy who's Rachel's new ally is Mittelwirk's bodyguard, anyone agree
The Hanso Foundation page has been updated. It now has a link to Mittlewerk's TV advertisement from last week's episodes which promotes "spirited debate".
Looks as if the Hanso Foundation page will be re-opening soon!
On the shut down hanso site there is a link to the clip with Mittlewerk, is this an old clue or a new one
oh I think Rachel's new ally looks like Mittlewerk's bodyguard, anyone else
Hey. The new guy is English, and the spelling of 'honour' as in honourbar is the proper english spelling, maybe a connection?
Which one of the Verizon crew went missing? Could it be him?
go to djdan.am and click on the eyes on the man and there are two new mittlewerk videos
DJ DAN has been updated to Hanso commercials in Eyes on the Man
DJ Dans site has been updated, if you go to Eyes on the Man, you'll see links to 2 new videos about Mittlewerk.
