Copenhagen Post 04
This just keeps getting stranger.
Know that vegan place Mittelwerk uses as a secondary office?
I took it upon myself to slip a little something special in the pepper-shaker... and then, with my telephoto lens, I picked up a Korean man sitting down to tofu and noodles with Mittelwerk.
To ensure this reaches you, I've hidden a RECORDING of their conversation somewhere on the web...
rblake
105years
17.01: Yes, Mittelwerk speaks Korean. But I don't.
The only thing I picked up was a name, "Paik." Which is pretty much the Korean "Jones." Whoever they're talking about... it could be like a million different people. Anyway, I leave it to you guys. Time to test those translation skills.
Keep the comments coming. Let's figure this out.
19.59: Well, we've had some good translations and some that don't add up at all. Anyway, the consensus seems to be that this translation is the best (from Kwon-Yong Su: but thanks also to mochi + ari, h, pilferk, gohan, winged_eel):
MITTELWERK: Minsu, so great to see you.
MINSU: Dr. Mittelwerk. Good to see you too. Mr. Paik sends his warmest regards.
MITTELWERK: He's just saying that because we've paid him so much money.
MINSU: Ah. I see that it's straight to business.
MITTELWERK: As always.
MINSU: I think you'll be pleased to hear your ship is almost ready; with all the modifications. But I have to warn you - this kind of ship can't dock just anywhere.
MITTELWERK: We have a port. How long will it be?
MINSU: I'd say no sooner than three weeks.
MITTELWERK: Could you pass the pepper? So what will it take to make it 2 weeks?
But once again, I'm thrown. None of this is leading where I thought. And, the only Hanso we've seen mentioned is probably Alvar's frickin' grandpa!
So this ship... the vessel The Hanso Foundation commissioned this Mr. Paik to build. What do we think that's for?
Be honest with me, guys. Are we getting anywhere?
Here's hoping tomorrow brings less questions and more answers.

woot First comment
Anybody track down the audio??
There are any clue ... Rachel tell us just something ...
Searching now.
maybe there will be an AD on australian TV with the link ... lets w8 :)
fifth yay
Great job Rachel!
Lets find this recording, anyone searched broadband stories yet?
I tried to see something on broadband stories but i think nothing is there...i think we should check the link that Rachel give us
What does the 105 years old mean??
Is someone 105 years old??
That something to do with the hanso foundation "longevility"...
joop is 105 years might be something on save joop
Joop is 105 years old ...
i ve try to search on yahoo with "joop" "rachel" "rblake" etc .. didnt find anything yet ! ( some1 is recording the australian today ep ?? )
I think Rachel's thing might be up in about an hour after Lost has aired here tonight, I suspect if you click on the Dharma looking 'clue' thing in the banner you will find it there. Just a theory at the moment, because I can't see it anywhere at the moment.
Aussie Aussie Aussie...
Where is the link from Rachel, where does it link to??
Maybe joop has something to do with finding the video. Who knows?
I noticed under Rachel's Name it says 105years! Could the info be at savejoop.com.
since i can't play the video from yahoo i can't check all clue video ... :/
bhamgeezer:
The link is on the main page.
I says RECORDING
ok, so 105 and a link to ninja?
did anyone notice that she ended the post with "rblake 105 years"?
Her name is a login!
rblake is the username and
105years is the password!
Soz links to http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lost/
doesnt it. To you reckon she means that actual website or something related to it?
m2saint: yes but to where, not yahoo I tried that one
its not a login ... and i really think something will happens during the today show on australian TV

Rachel said " I've hidden a RECORDING of their conversation somewhere on the web..."
So I suppose it already should be online
The un/pw don't work for me, m2saint
hmm... halfway through "Dave" and still no clue...
mayB it wont be on tonights Lost
I FOUND IT!!!!! T SAVEJOOP.COM!! If you dont move your mouse for about ten seconds an audio appears!!! It comes around all the tima, And theres some text too at the picture that says help us save Joop!
I believe something was posted on au.messages in the last hour that will link us to a site that needs the login
rblake
105years
Now lets find that hint!
Raymond...
*stab*
Sorry, brother.
Its not a login at http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lost/
Login/Password doesn't work for me either...
It's a login to something, naysayers. >_> ha.
You'll see.
What do you mean? m2saint-the.....
All we know is that it isn't a login for the messageboard.
Raymond, that is an audio recording that has been there for a few weeks. It is sadly nothing new. Neither the picture change.
raymond, that audio clip has been there since the site opened.
m2saint: 105years may translate to joop also as a password -still does not work on messageboard but may somewhere else-
Dang....
105, bums and pooheads, cannot find anything over at ninja? Why the link there?
We may have to wait for the AU airing of today's episode, in about an hour or so.
The sound hasn't ALWAYS been at savejoop.com. It appeared after THF seemed to take notice of the site. Not important anyway I am sure. Old news.
I checked, and "rblake" is a registered yahoo username.
Intriguing, no?
Perhaps there will be a clue in the Hanso Commercial during LOST tonight in the UK. :)
You know what I mean, wizardy_eas. Unimportant semantics.
mochi, its airing now, it'll be over in 20 mins its upto the part where the shrink shows Hurley the foto
M2Saint-TheTruthTempest a dit…
Perhaps there will be a clue in the Hanso Commercial during LOST tonight in the UK. :)
Or now in australia since the link is .AU
"You have exceeded the maximum number of Sign In tries for the Yahoo! ID rblake. As a result, the account has been temporarily locked for your security."
ahah =)
Ah! I forgot that you're an Aussie, gojita! I'm sure you're all over this like white on rice right now, so make sure your computer doesn't blow up or anything that would keep you off of this blog. Our clue will reveal itself if we stop looking for it, after all.
I did know what you meant mochi. It was just in case you didnt realise it. Sorry.
yep... after each week's ep they put up a secret clue (which isn't so secret if you were paying attention to the episode). And the Ninja has a new blog. So that's what I am basing my guess on
au. right. That works, too.
Hey, my talking points aren't the best; so, have to cut me some slack. ha
-The Truth Tempest
but we'vew exceeded the max number of login attempts!
Damn Yahoo!
Sorry, this account has been locked.
You have exceeded the maximum number of Sign In tries for the Yahoo! ID rblake. As a result, the account has been temporarily locked for your security.
You can wait 12 hours before trying to sign in again. If you have forgotten your password, you can request a new one by confirming your account information. Once you have received a new password you will be able to sign in again after 12 hours.
hmm, rblake is gonna be miffed with you folks!!!
Sorry Rachel. ^_^;;
dont jump Hurley!!! :P
have we surched for posts by rblake at http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lost/
ofc we did !
jed:
searched for rblake, blake, rachel blake, 105 (didnt work), and more.
lost ep almost over in Sydney..nothing yet...still looking. Hopefully us Aussies will get to see something first instead of sleeping ( or supposed to be ! ) when all the new stuff is discovered ! :)
http://au.blogs.yahoo.com/lost-ninja/3348/persephone-is-rachel-blake?page=23
For those of you who were asking about the P/Rachel connection rumors...not sure where LostNinja got his info...
hahaha daisyrock u said it :P
and theres only 5 mins left so mayB there will be a clue
my question: do u really reckon rachel could get a clue onto a television network?
keep lookin at the Ninja guys
You lucky down-underoos! I'm here in Texas at 6:27AM. ha
They usually show the commercial during the last commercial break.
Start DVRing... now.
-The Truth Tempest
gojiita:
It would just be a clue to a clue, I'm sure.
ok, it's not this weeks secret clue...
NINJA replies on page two of that thread it's just his assumption R and P are the same.
Hey guys...
please post everything you found in here cause i am in portugal and here the lost is still at the episode "lockdown" but i've been "hacking" the hanso found. since it opened...
So please explain everything cause I've been unable to understand some posts...
Please help the "poor" guys in here!
Three victories in the world cup...yay!lol
How could AU not get a Hanso Commercial?
going to try GWC now. back in a sec.
Verizon's new phoneline service!
Grrr. Nada.
go to yahoo7.com.au/lost guys now
okay. what now, gojita?
m2saint, we only ever got the first Hanso ad... we have different sponsors here so I guess there were issues with the other ads. Good thing thye have more than one way to a clue
well poor the real rblake whos now locked out of their account... oops but never mind... then the ninja DID state that rach and p are the same, i pondered that at the time, because i thought it was odd no proof, just confirmation.
Maybe we need a bit more of a spoonfeed rach?> cos i certainly have looked everywhere on yahoo message boards#
idk mochi!
im just sayin go there coz the ep is over :P
haha.
Anyone with the username "rblake" anywhere is going to be locked out of their account.
My goodness.
Oh and...
http://foundation.verizon.com/
The Verizon Foundation.
lol. j/k
*a vicious throttling ensues* No, I getcha. The clue will be there, I'm sure. Let the hunt continue!
oh smeg, I can't stand those messageboards...
Yes!!
ninja just updated
http://au.blogs.yahoo.com/lost-ninja/3595/dj-dans-back-rachels-new-entry-and-dave
go ninga...
and he's saying Rach is P again... must question him on this again
time check
ok, cant see anything on ninja, he sure is sure that rach is p.
have you tried to zoom in in the persephone site?
I know that bigger it gets even more creepy (lol) but if you do this you are able to move the picture around....
But I donno if we can do anything else...
*screams in frustration*
damn u rachel for being so cryptic!
"rblake" is an anagram for "balker".
what gives?
to balk is to stop short and refuse to go on or to thwart.
then, 105 years. so, it's gotta' be something to do with "savejoop.com".
Rachel yells PAYBACK!
gee I hope no one at channel 7 (well, whoever looks after the site) stuffed up
Isnt savejoop.com a fan site...
the 105 link to joop is tooo much of a coincidence, dont you think.. its gotta be out there, they would put it up first, then update her blog...
haha. You're right, kinetic.
We complained about being spoon-fed, and this is what we get.
Traditional LOST Experience right here.
And I love it.
Except that I need to go to sleep.
So, goodnight, and Namaste!
-The Truth Tempest
I found rachel's name signed on the save joop website a while ago, not sure which number but she did say she was in copenhagen. Don't understand Ninga - surely if somelike that he says is a 'hottie' puts a link to his stompin' ground - he would mention it in his new blog ?!
Ninga ? ;)
well a "rblake" has signed the savejoop.com petition..
born_to_run: That's just everyone attempting the password Rachel gave us.
several "rblake" - a ploy to get clues i.e "give us - aclue rachel!!"
mochi found anythin yet mate?
Anyone gone to savejoop.com and clicked on the "footage of joops 105th birthday" pic yet?
It sends me to youtube, which is blocked from my work, so I'm not sure what happens. Can someone try it and confirm it's the same "stuff" that's been there?
I've got to go for a revision class at school, hopefully this will be solved when I get back! :)
Why give us a link to that forum....maybe we have to read or create a topic...
gojita: Mating now, are we? Just kidding.
No, I'm stumped right now. I'm going through the boards a bit, but efforts are so far fruitless.
Your guess is as good as mine right now.
You'd think they would have updated them all simultaneously.
is the number 10134 a clue? ( rblake number of petition)
i found it guys
on savejoop.com, apparently if u stay on the site dor a lil while, u can hear a voice clip
Oh, and what's the weird shoprt staticy audio clip playing at savejoop.com if you stay there for a bit? has that always been there? I guess I've never stayed on the site long enough to get it...
for a lil while*
damn typos, ruining my moment
whats bugging me is that rblake 105years seems v. familliar, keeping thinking i've seen it somewhere already, anyone the same or am i just crazy!
oh no there are many of those numbers...
I can hear the clip, gojita, but it's like 2 seconds long, very staticy, and almost impossible to make out.
THAT'S THE SAME AUDIO CLIP THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR WEEKS NOW.
It means nada, zip, zero. The clip on SaveJoop is not the clue we're looking for. It's old.
Decrepid, even.
damn damn damn!
so mayB thats not it?
i just heard it it sounds like a convo on a beach or somethin...
Thanks Mochi. That's what I was wondering....as I said..I've never stayed long enough to hear it before!
:)
Ok, with the save joop site, there are way too many rblakes and rachel blakes to be helpful and that audio has been there for a while now ( correct me nicely if I'm wrong )
A stack of people are now begging ninga over at the message boards for his help.
This would suck if it gets revealed after I go to bed !
Lol :)
mochi ive never been to savejoop.com so i didnt know about it :P
Any way last time I checked savejoop.com is a fan site. Someone tell me if im wrong on that.
Yeah. Savejoop.com seems pretty useless over all, but that clip is deceiving. It's been there for ages, though, so no need to give it a second thought. I'm still convinced it's on the AU forums somewhere. Rachel pointed us to it. Why point us to such an obscure site otherwise?
Did someone just looked here ? http://www.blogger.com/profile/26246738
exactly Mochi, it's ether there or there is a link there pointing to where it is.
i thought Magnus Hanso was Alvars father?
and still lookin through the forums and every search engine i can think of
Maybe the family tree is like this...
Magnus Hanso = The Father
Alvar Hanso
Magnus Anders Hanso = The Son
Is normal sometimes that a son have the name of his grandfather...
hey wait, does anyone checks the video clues? they're all interesting, but the clue #12 (eko's clip) and #13 are crazy!!
I'm tearing through the page source for the AU forum, but I still think it's in a thread somewhere. A recently made thread or a recent reply in a thread. Sadly, "rblake" and "105years" don't pop up in the forum search engine.
ok concentrate ppl its right in front of us i can smell it
sorry gojiita that was me....
Smells like monkey poo and a chemical bath is what it smells like...

It's an ARG. The whole thing breaks the 4th wall.

I played with the audio a little bit trying to get rid of the noise that distorts the voice. It now sounds like it's saying Cincinatti, He's Going! Check the link above... It's the undoctored audio followed by a few filters I added to get rid of the background noise!
nice work david a *thumbs up*
listened to it - still a lil sketchy but better than b4 :)
Very nice, david a! Thank you!
Although not the clue we need right now.
I wonder if it work in reverse as well...
i reversed it and got nothing...
i remember i site like thehansofoundation with a blog or something like it that have a username and a password on it and if you write a wrong password it will take you to the hanso foundation site...maybe the login is right there
david a: can you play that BACKWARDS???
nevermind.
well it'd help if u knew the site dude lol
nice thinkin justwillow
Bring him on to Cincinnati - I'll catch him here! :)
I've finished tearing through the page source for the main page of the AU forums and...
NOTHING
Perhaps the folks running things heard our feeble pleas in the night by making this next clue so difficult to locate. Not exactly a brain-strainer so far, just a treasure hunt mission. But not an immediate clue, which is nice.
Sorry, I thought maybe it would help us figure out why Rachel makes a passing mention of Joop in her recent blog post! Savejoop is the only website we have at the moment
No, it's just gibberish backwards
trivia time until something "surfaces":
did everyone know that mittelwerk is also on the board of directors for the widmore group?
Rachel, thanks for the great help you've given us...but I'm concerned for your safety based on what I saw in your first video...you recieved a phone call in that video, which left you looking quite shaken...was that phone call regarding The Hanso Foundation? Do they know what you're doing? Are they threatening you?
I can't help but think I heard the caller mention your Father...
Please Keep up the good fight, Rachel! We're hear to help.
rvt
don't bother waitng for the english episode to air its shown on a tuesday not thursday and besides which its still early here.
Well, I'm offically sick and tired of looking for this "clue".
Good luck everyone. I have bills to pay.
yes chucklez, I did know that!! lol
Anyone solved "The Speaker"'s anagram yet - "A Whither Grin" ?
so still no one has found the clip?
noblelawyer: nope. no luck so far.
oh for the love of PETE!! Come on, Rachel!!! "somewhere on the web"???? oh.....my.....GOD!! could you BE any less VAGUE????
yeh the WORLD wide web, how many sites do you reckon there are!! lol
mochi - respect to you. I've only been lurking for two days (sad I missed the earlier weeks), but you seem to put a lot of effort in it.
Please make sure you take some time off every once in a while, no one would benefit from it if this ARG makes you sick and tired. People need you here, and it's best for you too.
Really off topic, just had to write this.
(and back to lurking)
A HERRING WHIT?
I am unofficially calling this clue Rachel's Revenge.
hoho, rachel's revenge... fitting.
But seriously. We need to work together. No one's found it on the link she gave us... Where else would/could it be?
Rachel's Revenge indeed.
Notcie how I said I was leaving, yet I'm still right here?
I'm a persistant and stubborn prick like that.
But, you're right, Rinion. I do need rest. I've been ARGing for about 6 hours today. Time to put TLE down for a while and get some work done that actually puts money in my pocket, instead of premature grey hairs on my head.
Also, a wither grin is "with a herring!", a reference to both Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the possibility that we're chaing red herrings.
Peace, all. Catch you after dinner tonight.
well we can work backwards - nothing on the
aussie msg board, nothing on savejoop(which was never really in-game anyway). We have gotten alot of good clues from verizon. I am going there to look - anyone going to follow me?
ive tried rblake105years in the evident agenda entry box, would anything else work?
some1 d/l anagram genius i cant use it anymore used up my 10 trial anagrams *psssh*
A Whither Grin would certainly show a result
I havent found it on save joop,sublymol,broadband stories, let your compass guide you or jeep and i'm running out of ideas even tried the extra info box
im checking richerdeeperbroader
we probibly dont have every thing we need to find this yet so Im just siting back and waiting for something to pop up.
well rachels being really helpful telling us its on the net. i searched google for websites and got 6,500,000,000 hits narrowing it down would be nice.
btw does the constant word verification piss anyone else off if you've done it once why do it EVERYTIME god its annoying.
course I'm not really computer savy have been learning alot playing this game
Probably nothing: rblake years
>anagram> break layers.
im out for the evening good luck all keep me posted my email is in my profile
gnite all *hugs anti-THF ppl*

I've been trying things along that line, looking for a hidden forum. lost/rblake, /105years, /joop, /mittlewerk...no dice.
