ANNOUNCER: *music playing* Coming to you live, from the fire in your belly!

FEMALE VOICES: *singing* DJ Dan.

ANNOUNCER: *music playing* You’re listening to DJ Dan… *sound effect* Shutting down the man!

DJ DAN: And, uh, I’m here talking to Russ …

CALLER (Russell): Russell …

DJ DAN: Yeah, Russell Andrews, who ….

CALLER (Russell): Who’s here to tell you that we are in a lot of trouble… and most of us don’t realize it …

DJ DAN: Russell …

CALLER (Russell): We have an ecosystem on the brink of collapse…

DJ DAN: I’m trying to be polite here… RUSSELL!

CALLER (Russell): Huh.

DJ DAN: Tell us: What is your job?

CALLER (Russell): Okay, I’ve already explained: I’m a mathematical forecaster, and…

DJ DAN: Now, now, hold it right there, just hold. My listeners here “mathematical forecaster” and already — (snap) — they’re disconnected. Now Russell, tell me: What does a mathematical forecaster do?

CALLER (Russell): Okay, basically I do algorithms to forecast systematic–

DJ DAN: (Makes buzzer sound) Ennnnnnnhhhhhh! You use math to predict the future, but Russ: Nobody can predict the future.

CALLER (Russell): Not true.

DJ DAN: I repeat, nobody …

CALLER (Russell): Not - not true.

DJ DAN: I don’t care who you are, what you do, who you pray to, what kind of computer power you’re packing, what kind of degrees your holding, what kind of Tarot cards and star charts and tea leaves and coffee grounds and pig’s blood and moon runes… You will never, ever predict what is coming out of my mouth right now. Give it a shot. Come on. Try… try… try…

CALLER (Russell): Uh… uh… uh…

DJ DAN: Six backward church dummies. You know? Madagascar. Hugh

CALLER (Russell): So what?

DJ DAN: So, I just proved my point.

Russell: Look, DJ Dan, if what I’m saying is so far off the mark, tell me: Why would the U.N. hire Enzo Valenzetti in 1963 to apply the laws of statistical probability to predict the future of mankind?

DJ DAN: Enzo… Venzo… whatawhatuh?

CALLER (Russell): Enzo Valenzetti. He was the greatest mind in mathematical history.

DJ DAN: Then how come I ain’t heard of him?

CALLER (Russell): Because he died before his prime. He was piloting a plane from Naples to Paris, and it just… disappeared. He was killed. Killed, DJ Dan, to hide the truth.

DJ DAN: And what truth might that be?

CALLER (Russell): Okay. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.N. decided to apply my field to the problems of humanity. They hired this grad student, Valenzetti, to come up with an equation that would help look into the future –

DJ DAN: Alright, Rusty, Rusty …

CALLER (Russell): — of –

DJ DAN: … Rusty …

CALLER (Russell): — mankind. Russell.

DJ Dan: Rusty … Whoa. What did this equation say?

CALLER (Russell): Nobody knows. It was an oral presentation to the U.N., and then the whole thing’s been suppressed. And, and he developed the whole thing on his own, in seclusion.

DJ Dan: Then how do you know this Valenzetti Equation even exists?

CALLER (Russell): Because a book was written about it. I’ve been trying to get my hands on it for years, but it’s out of print … and somebody just bought the original publisher.

DJ Dan: Yeah, sounds like a real conspiracy theory, Rusty. And who, pray tell, bought the publishing company?

CALLER (Russell): The Hanso Foundation!

DJ Dan: SHUTDOWN! Very clever, Russ, very clever. But I’ve seen enough parlor tricks in my day to know when I’m being had. Next caller!

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to shut down your callers, DJ Dan.

DJ DAN: Ooooooo, a feisty one. You’re sounding way too hot to be one of my conspiraspies. Who am I talking to here?

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Here’s what I know: Remember your Vik Institute show?

DJ DAN: Mm hmm.

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Mental hospital run by The Hanso Foundation, full of number-crunching savants in a mysterious third basement?

DJ DAN: Yeah, yeah.

CALLER (Rachel Blake): I know for a fact it’s full of mathematicians. And those savants — they’re running an equation over and over. It’s just like you said: Mittelwerk doesn’t want a data trail.

DJ DAN: So … so, so, what: You think they’re running this ValenTeek (?) Equation?

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Guess you are as smart as you look.

DJ DAN: If I wasn’t married, I’d take you to the Puerto Rican beach where I grew up and marry you on the spot!

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Too bad you’re married.

DJ DAN: Quiza me puedes seguir o cojer la corriente y decirme lo que estas aahh lo que tienes puesto?? (Speaking in Spanish: Play along with me … uh … Tell me what you’re wearing?)

CALLER (Rachel Blake): You want to know what I’m wearing? Something cute. Too bad The Hanso Foundation wants me dead. You’ll never get to see.

DJ DAN: Wait a minute. Who is this, really?

CALLER (Rachel Blake): Persephone.

DJ DAN: Wh- wait, wh- … Persephone? Tan– Perse- Tonya, quick! Trace the call! Trace the call right now. Trace it. Come on.

TONYA: Trace it? With my pencil?

DJ DAN: Just… *Sighs*DJ Dan. More in love than ever before.

On June 30th Iceland 3 is posted on Rachel Blake’s blog. There are two major things in this post. The first is a link to DJ Dan’s site hinting to gamers that there may now be a partnership, or at least a correspondence between Rachel and DJ Dan. The second and probably most important revelation is that gamer speculations are confirmed when Rachel admits that she is in fact Persephone.

Later, Rachel posts an update in which we find out that she is now going to Italy in an attempt to further expose what Mittelwerk and the Hanso Foundation is up to.

Transcript:

ANNOUNCER: Coming to you live, from the part of your craw where it all sticks:

FEMALE VOICES: *singing* DJ Dan.

ANNOUNCER: You’re listening to DJ DAN. Shutting down the man.

DJ DAN: It’s happened, Tonya. I’m in love.

TONYA: Who is it this week?

DJ DAN: Nope. This one’s different this time. This one’s special. This love, Tonya … It’s SHUTTIN’ ME DOWN!

TONYA: And why’s that, Dan?

DJ DAN: Because it’s a forbidden love.

TONYA: You’re married. Every love is a forbidden love.

DJ DAN: Does a priest date his parishioners?

TONYA: I hope not.

DJ DAN: Does a shepherd date his flock?

TONYA: Once again …

DJ DAN: And her name is Rachel Blake, Tonya, and she is the ultimate conspiraspy.

TONYA: How did you meet?

DJ DAN: Oh, we didn’t. But we have to. If you’re listening, Rachel, we need to talk. So here’s the deal: I’m on the web, surfing around one of my favorite Area 51 sites, when one of my conspiraspies IM’s me. Garthasoid? Your shout-out!

So … I head over to this little blog by this beautiful girl, say, lower, uh, middle 20s? Has that scrubbed, movie-version-of-a-girl-next-door look? All smiles and eyelashes. And the site talks about how she’s on a post-college Euro tour. So I’m thinking, okay, this chick is a little slice of heaven. But really, why does Garthasoid think I have to check this out? I mean, Garthasoid, you know what’s going down … We’re talking crop circles! We’re talking Loch Ness! And if I could, just for a second, just to put this whole business to rest for you Nessie Heads: It’s a soundstage, you morons! Same place where they faked the Mars landing.

Anyway. Point is, Rachel’s blog is pleasant. But I don’t have the time to be finding out which Geronimo Jackson song Little Suzy Cornbelt is listening to when she misses her mommy! But then I enter this code Garthasoid sends me … and the bells and whistles go off. And Jesus, Mary and Joseph Stalin! We got ourselves a huge, honkin’ ‘nother ball of wax! It’s a video blog!

Turns out Rachel is stalking this corporate dude, and the more I watch the more I realize everything is connected. Because the due is none other than Dr. Thomas Werner Mittelwerk! Evil name, I know. And it fits. ‘Cause if you don’t know Dr. Mittelwerk, he is a perpetrator of atrocities in the name of good. Dr. Mittelwerk is president of none other than …

ANNOUNCER: *Dramatic evil music* The Hanso Foundation! *Evil laugh*

DJ DAN: … a.k.a. Evil, Inc.! a.k.a. Secrets International! a.k.a. We do bad things in the name of wickedness and greed and sell them to the world as we’re saving the planet through our science one adorable child at a time! Cue the rainbow and fuzzy puppies.

So I’m on the site — and you’ve got to go, the footage out there is just nuts — and then I start to think: Is Rachel our girl? Is this the infamous Persephone, hacker of the Hanso Foundation website? Could be.

And then I start thinking: What is she doing? Is she like us? Is she looking for Alvar Hanso, who has been strangely missing from the world for the past four years? Is she really after Mittelwerk? Is she gonna take’m down, is she gonna take’m all down to Chinatown? I mean, who knows!

And then I get worried. Rachel, once again, if you’re listening: You’ve got to grow a fake beard or something, honey. These Hanso people, they’re ….

Anyway. Conspiraspies: Eyes on the prize. If Rachel Blake is willing to risk her pretty, little neck, let’s step up and help her! Go to her site. Rap with her. And if you ever bump into her in the real world, and she’s being followed by some shady goons, do us all a favor and drop … a banana peel.

ANNOUNCER: *music playing* You’re listening to DJ DAN… *sound effect* Shutting down the man!

On June 26th, Rachel posted Copenhagen 6 on her blog.

The link in her new post redirects gamers to letyourcompassguideyou.com. After loging in, Gamers were able to find new additions in the “Trash” folder which was discovered the previous week.


By clicking on the “Illumination” folder, gamers are now redirected to the following Jeep site.

Rachel’s latest video can be found by looking at the interior options.

By using a simple bit of deduction, were able to associate the clue “Illumination” with “Flashlight”, which led to the discovery of the video under the site heading “Removable Flashlight“.
