Report PDA findings

A new text just arrived:

Got into Patterson's PDA. Found some doc photos. I linked the footage 2 the German's Assignment Tracker. Anything useful? 1-800-PRIMA16, same passcode as before

For details on getting into the PDA, see this post.
As a reminder, the passcode for the phone line is: 42307

---

ETA: An e-mail has also arrived, with the subject "PDA Photos":

Bianca Karina was the PDA password, huh? Sometimes it's the simple things. Think Patterson has eyes for his partner? That might be useful. Maybe not.

I'm looking at the footage I got of Patterson's PDA. He shot some pics of a desk, apparently the German's, although I don't recognize all the info. See if you can piece together anything useable before the Company does. I posted the surveillance of Patterson's PDA on the German's Assignment Tracker for now. Check it out at http://www.primatechpaper.com/AT_2.0/at_C014_file.php.

Patterson's PDA

My apologies for the delay. The last couple of days we have been relocating from one city to another, with lack of internet access in between. Sincere thanks to those who have been helping out!
Thanks to Anne L for reporting a recap of this weekend's new findings:

EVS posted again at 9thWonders, on the thread "The German" -

Patterson is snoopier (or more bored) than I expected. He used his PDA's camera to take some unauthorized pix of the location where the bag & tag is going to happen. I need to know what he knows.

His PDA password is four characters. If you enter the wrong password enough, you get the password hint question: "B KA****" Figure out what goes where those stars are; I'm guessing that's the PDA password.

This German is a big deal. Devin can’t be getting underfoot. Let's get into that PDA.

The code is rina (B KArina). It's the last part of Bianca's surname, Karina.

The PDA can be found under a new link, titled "Evidence" that has appeared on The German's Assignment Tracker profile under the Personal History section.

The PDA contains 16 pictures presumably snapped by Devin at a location where he expects The German to show up.

New e-mail with the subject "Thompson's Voicemails":

I've uploaded some of Thompson's voicemails at http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?showtopic=63845. Everyone seems to know that there is a mole in the Company, but my identity still remains a secret. So far everything is working out exactly as I had planned. Pretty soon I'll be able to just sit back and watch the Company destroy itself. Now, won't that be a sight to see?

Call 1-800-PRIMA16. Entr: 42307#

Graphic Novel #91: Berlin (Part 1)

The trouble with triangles is the angles.

Evs Dropper has continued to overrun the Company's resources, successfully turning agents against each other. But the stakes to identify Evs Dropper are higher than ever after A gent Devin Patterson, while on a mission to find Evs Dropper, killed Agent Cushing, an innocent person with special abilities. The question remains -- to what end will all this infighting lead?

Dreams of being chased

Interview: JG Roshell

Ryan from Heroes-Wiki has recently interviewed JG Roshell of Comicraft, who is responsible for all of the lettering for the Heroes graphic novels.

From Ryan:

In fact, he's done every single novel until about month ago. He also designed the 9th Wonders message board, and he was recently nominated for an Eisner Award for his design of the hardback graphic novel collection. Read what he thinks is the most surprising about his work on "Heroes", and check out some of the exclusive art he shares.

Give it a read.

The German

My apologies for the delay of this post, I am in the middle of relocating...

As you may have noticed, there is a new profile (Subject C014) viewable in the Assignment Tracker at the Primatech Paper website. The subject's image, date of birth, occupations, scars and marks, personal history, and psychological profile are all missing from the tracker page. However, The German's basic physical characteristics are included, as well as some information about his location and ability.

The German is described as a 6'0 ft tall, 180 lbs. German male with fair skin, blonde hair, and a medium build. His birthplace is listed as Munich, Germany, and his last known location as New York, NY. His ability is described as "the manipulation of ferrous objects and materials." The diagram above is also included.

Evsdropr has posted two new images of The German at 9thWonders, along with the message: "Been searching all day for info in the Company's database on "The German." Came up with a few photos. Check them out below."

The first image appears to be of his power being used to manipulate some elevator controls.

The second image appears to display his ability being used to control an entryway to a restricted area. The sign “Zutritt nur für Befugte”, can be translated from German literally as "Admission Only for Authorized" or “Authorized Personnel Only.”

Evs reveals more voicemails

Evsdropr has posted a few more Primatech voicemail messages at 9thWonders, under the subject "Thompson's voicemails":

A few mentions of Primatech in here. Maybe I'm not the only one keeping an eye on Company operations.

The two audio files included:

What's your guys take on him?

Thompson's voicemails

Thanks to Anne L for reporting a new message from evsdropr at 9thWonders, under the subject "Thompson's voicemails".

Seems Thompson Jr. has some big shoes to fill, first his father, now Bennet. He's been receiving Bennet's forwarded voicemails. I'm mentioned a few times, but no one has a clue about my true identity, still, which is good. I'll post a few.

Interview: R.D. Hall

Ryan from Heroes-Wiki has another great interview for us! Many thanks to him for keeping us posted about his recent conversation with R.D. Hall - the writer behind Heroes graphic novels "Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered", "The End of Hana and Drucker", "Bounty Hunter", and "Moonlight Serenade".

From Ryan:

Man, he sure knows how to kill characters: seven in all!

Check out what R.D. has to say about his writing process, and catch a lot of behind the scenes decisions and stories. Plus, he shares exclusive information about Linda Tavara, Matt Neuenberg, Hana Gitelman, Richard Drucker, and even Angela Petrelli!

Go check it out.

Julien Dumont's profile

Julien Dumont's profile (subject C011) is now viewable in the Assignment Tracker at the Primatech Paper website. Many thanks to Ryan for reporting this.

If you need a reminder of how to get into the Assignment Tracker, see this post.

The password for Julien's profile was found in this week's graphic novel ("Root and Branch, Part 2") on a license plate (kudos to laura for reporting it): JDsiy88p

The profile define that his "Power allows him to vegetatively replicate himself, producing identical clones. Dumont appears to generate replicants through cellular mitosis, similar to a fungi." They also confirm that "Clones can be injured -- even fatally -- without causing physical harm to the Root Dumont."

Further detail about the clones: "Dumont's offshoots develop rapidly and are biologically identical to the Root Dumont by full growth. Mature clones exhibit a degree of independent thought and personality, and The Company has successfully deployed replicants for a wide variety of field work. However, the offshoots also share a hive-like collective mind, in which the Root Dumont appears to play a centric role. Preliminary experiments suggest that if the Root Dumont experienced termination, all of the offshoots would expire instantly. As a precaution, the Root Dumont is precluded from most field duty assignments...
A number of the offshoot agents have dropped off the grid and been marked for termination. Their status is currently in transition."

The profile indicates a criminal background: "He was first apprehended by Agent Spektor in Bruges, Belgium, where Dumont was operating a petty crime ring spanning three countries."

The profile also seems to have much missing from the original file, as there are many sentences and paragraphs marked as "Omitted: Classified".

Choose Penny's Face

Thanks to Ryan for pointing out a new feature at the NBC site: A new game called "Choose Penny's Face".

From the site:

In the Heroes graphic novels Faces, Parts 1 and 2, we met a mysterious mother-daughter agent team, Connie and Penny Logan. Connie has the special ability to alter the physical appearance of those around her. Usually, Connie focuses her talents on her daughter, changing Penny's appearance so her true identity remains a secret while the two of them work their jobs for the Company.

Use the face slider below to create a new face for Penny. You can change her mouth & chin, nose, eyes, and forehead. It's up to you how she looks--man, woman, or something in between. Get your creative juices flowing!

Graphic Novel #88: Root and Branch (1 of 3)

Variety is the spice of life.

A force only known by the handle "Evs Dropper" has infiltrated "The Company". While Evs lays seeds to bring the company down, most of its agents continue with business as usual...

Company agents are paired into "one of us, one of them" partnerships. Each partnership is unique, but at one time or another they all receive the same basic mission -- "bag and tag."

Interview: Mark Sable

Thanks again to our friend Ryan over at Heroes-Wiki, for keeping us posted about his recent interview with Mark Sable - the writer behind Heroes graphic novels Blackout and Faces.

Mark talks about the collaboration process, especially with the new Company story arcs planned for the summer. He also gives great insight into the last two novels he wrote, answers some nagging questions, and talks about the primatechpaper.com assignment tracker profile for Connie Logan, including her cool new power of altering appearances.

Ryan's previous interview with Mark was conducted with artist Jason Badower, and focused on their novel Blackout.
