Brianundaunted's new blog post: "Greetings"

If you've read this morning's new graphic novel, you'll know that Brian is back on the scene in the 360/Evolutions world. (Again, if you would like to refresh your memory about Brian, click here for what we found on him earlier.) The comic also referred to one of his old online haunts, his IMEEM page. When today's comic was posted, there was nothing new at any of his pages, but now there is a new blog post with today's date, titled "Greetings," under his blog "Revelation":

I know it's been a while, but I have my reasons. Linderman, my old employer, is dead. At least he better be, or else I’m not going to be coming out of hiding anytime soon. It’s time for me to start asking questions: who ruined my life, and why? It’s time for me to get even. I’m not all convinced that Linderman is out of the picture. Maybe someone is following in his footsteps and still wants me caput. Either way, I’m out to get who wronged me and I believe it was Hana Gitelman. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Leads? Info?

ETA: Thanks to wgsxfrank for reporting that another new blog post has been added, titled "Update," under his blog "Revelation":

Thanks for your help so far. It got me digging.

I think there's a leak in The Company that may have gotten a hold of Hana's contacts and already started communication.

I need your help in finding his/her identity. Searching through some files, I’ve learned that the profile is made up of 8 letters/characters.

Perhaps it has something to do with the clues sent out last week.

New Puzzle at Hana's blog

I received a strange puzzle. Perhaps from Drucker? Maybe you can solve it. Go to www.samantha48616e61.com

A new e-mail also arrived from Hana, with the subject "A mysterious puzzle":

I received a strange puzzle of some kind in my email today. I can't figure it out, but I think it might hold another clue to the mysterious Richard Drucker. Try and solve it at my blog. Go to www.samantha48616e61.com.

ETA - The new post at Hana's blog is up, and it contains a slide puzzle:

I received another strange email today. This seems to be some kind of puzzle. I wasn't able to solve it, but maybe you can. Could it be another clue to the mystery that is Richard Drucker? I think so.

Easy | Medium | Hard
HG

ETA - Thanks to wgsxfrank for finding the message in the audio file, and posting it here:

"After I came to the United States, I met Charles Deveaux in New York. We had much in common. He introduced me to his friends. They realized I was special... could hear things that weren't there. Signals in space... in the air. They saw I was filled with the unthinking anger of an insecure child. They tried to use this against me, to convince me -- but I saw them for what they were, and so I fled.

Perhaps you're right Hana. Perhaps it is time to right old wrongs. Together we can destroy their infrastructure once and for all."

Unusual dreams / nightmares?

New text arrived:

R u experiencing any unusual dreams lately? Nightmares even? Suresh may be ov help. Go to: http://activatingevolution.org/

The new post at Hana's block also directs us to Activating Evolution:

Dr. Suresh has added a dream study component to http://activatingevolution.org/ in order to help us try to make sense of our dreams and examine how our subconscious states might be influenced or manipulated by others. If you have been experiencing any recurring or strange dreams you can post them here.

HG

As you might guess, there is a new section at the Activating Evolution site, called "Dream Study". On the main page there is a Mission Statement:

"We dream of hope. We dream of change. Of fire, of love, of death. And then it happens. The dream becomes real. And the answer to this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself. Like the glowing light of a new dawn. So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone."

A dream is a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep. It’s our voice when we sleep, often times a way for the unconscious to sort through our library of memories. Dreams take us on amazing journeys that can guide and help us understand where we are in our lives. The stories are what make us unique from one another. I am on a quest to unlock the mystery of the unconscious mind. The holder of our dreams. Dreaming is a common bond that we as humans all share.

I am on a mission seeking information on how dreams affect us in our waking hours. Is it possible for one person to control another’s dreams? Or, are dreams really hidden secrets encoded in our DNA that are only revealed during the different states of consciousness? The human race has evolved into intelligent, intricate beings over time. Has the pattern and method of how we dream also evolved?

Through your dream submissions I can actively try to decipher the key elements that connect us and make us who we are. My hopes are that my analysis will provide insight into the most mysterious part of mankind, the mind.

There are also 7 other pages in this section:
Dream Study Home | Submit Dreams | Dream Analysis | Tips To Remember Dreams | Dream Journal | Five Stages of Sleep | Mohinder Quotes

Hana's message for the new year

A New Year's message has been posted at Hana's blog:

A new year always beings new changes. For his own safety, I've told Micah that I can no longer contact him... at least for now. I worry that the presence behind the audio file you helped me with doesn't have the best intentions at heart. He seems so strange, this man behind the curtain. Thank you all for helping me decipher the file. I would be alone without you, and no one wants to be alone.

I only hope that with your continued help, next year will be a brighter one then the year that's come before.

HG

Thanks to madammina and gordo for notifying us of the update.

Audio file of chat interference

New text message from Hana:

I retrieved the audio that interrupted my chat with Micah @ Corinthian. Listen @ my blog.

A new e-mail also arrived, with the subject "First Contact?":

I managed to retrieve the audio file that interrupted my chat with Micah on the Corinthian Casino site. You can find it on my blog at www.samantha48616e61.com.

The new post at Hana's blog contains a link to the audio file:

I managed to retrieve the audio file that interrupted my chat with Micah on the Corinthian Casino site. Download it here and let me know if you can decipher anything.

ETA: Thanks to Arafel for isolating the message from the audio track and providing this clip: Click to Download.
In case you have not yet been able to hear the audio (or looked at the comments for this post), the message says,

You're making me angry Hana and I've spent a lifetime taming my anger. You don't know what can happen when emotion takes the place of sanity.

Drucker video is up; New chat with Micah

There are two new posts available at Hana's blog...

The first one provides the final installment of the Global News Interactive video we were waiting for:

Something doesn’t feel right; Drucker should have made contact by now. Maybe the GNI report has made him think that The Company is looking for him. View the final segment here. I hope he knows that I’m on his side.

HG

At the end of the video, an email address is provided - leads@GNILeadcatcher.com - to receive an additional information about Drucker.

Hana's second new post leads to a new chat with Micah:

I reconnected with my friend Micah on the Corinthian Casino site. Something is definitely up.

HG

During the new Hana-Micah chat, concerning Drucker, there is a strange disturbance. Hana decides that they need to find a new chat 'home.'

Many thanks to Lauren, Mike, and Jmc0769, for the updates and especially to Smoking Cloud for sending along these screenshots of the chat:

---

ETA: A new text message from Hana arrived, regarding the new chat with Micah:

I connectd with Micah on Corinthian. Smthng is up http://www.samantha48616e61.com/

We also received a new e-mail, with the subject "Corinthian Casino":

I reconnected with my friend Micah on the Corinthian casino site. Something is definitely up. Visit the Corinthian at www.corinthianlasvegas.com.

Final news segment about Drucker

A new text from Hana expresses concern about Drucker:

I worry The company has found Druckr. I keep gettin cryptic msgs, he may be tryin to warn me. Check out http://samantha48616e61.com.

A new email has also arrived from Hana, with the subject "Something of an Enigma":

In the final installment of Global News Interactive's piece on Richard Drucker, Microprocessor magnet Zhang Yang speaks out about the time he spent with Drucker in India in the 1980's. Yang is right - Drucker is an enigma. I'm afraid he may have gone into hiding in order to stay out of The Company. I hope he is safe.

See the final installment on my blog @ www.samantha48616e61.com.

Currently there is no new post at Hana's blog, so the final video clip is not yet available... but keep your eyes peeled...

ETA: New video now found, see this post.

More news about Drucker - New video clip

Thanks to Lauren for reporting this new text from Hana:

Like jazz music? Druckr went 2 jazz clubs in NY with Deveaux! Check out the new video. http://samantha48616e61.com.

There is also a new email from Hana, with the subject "More news about Drucker":

Global News Interactive has posted another video about Drucker and this one has really thrown me for a loop. Charlie Svenson, Drucker historian, clues us in to Drucker's life in America and his ties to Charles Deveaux. What does Samkhya philosophy have to do with Drucker? Check it out: www.samantha48616e61.com.

Which brings us to the new post at Hana's blog:

This new video leads me to think that the mystery of Drucker goes even deeper than I first imagined. Does anyone know anything about Samkhya philosophy? I believe it has something to do with nature and consciousness, but I don't know much more. I am looking for help finding details and a link to why Drucker would be interested in Samkhya. All theories welcome.

HG

Part Two of Drucker video

Tonight's text from Hana:

Druckr amazes me more evry day. Follow the 2nd part of the reprt: http://samantha48616e61.com/

New post at Hana's blog:

I have located Part two of Global News Interactive’s piece on Drucker and posted it here. Young tech tycoon and Drucker historian Charlie Svenson digs into Drucker’s early interest in politics and the forward thinking that made him the man he is today. And yet why would someone so bold not return the message I sent? I don't have an answer. Something seems off to me. I ask you all to hold tight - I sense that more is still to come.

HG

ETA- A new e-mail from Han has also arrived, with the subject "South American Tales":

Drucker plays by his own rules. Most people who have changed the world do. It makes sense that a rebel was the creator of the net. Who else could have foreseen millions of people linked so tightly together? You can see the second part now on my blog: www.samantha48616e61.com.

But a larger question looms in my mind: why hasn't he returned my message? I sense that more is still to come.

On a related subject, earlier today we also posted about the new Drucker page at NBC.com

Hana's correction about video location

Today's new text from Hana tells us that the video at her blog (not 9th Wonders) is the one referenced by yesterday's e-mail and text messages:

9th Wonders pulled Drucker video. Don't know why. Visit my blog instead.

A new e-mail also confirms this:

I've been looking through the 9th Wonders website and saw that they pulled the Drucker news video. I think someone may have done it for them; therefore, I am keeping a sharp eye out to make sure it remains on my blog without interference. Go to www.samantha48616e61.com to watch it now.

Hana finds investigative report on Drucker

A new post at Hana's blog provides a video about Drucker:

I guess I’m not the only one that’s interested in Drucker and his whereabouts. Global News Interactive has an investigative report on Drucker here. The GNI exclusive helps shed light on Drucker’s beginnings by showing us a glimpse of the world that he was born into.

HG

A new text from Hana sends us to 9thWonders:

Drucker is a hard puzzl 2 crack. A new video has led me 2 more info than ever b4: http://www.9thwonders.com/index.php

Thanks to Mike for reporting this.

ETA -- New e-mail from Hana, as well, with the subject "Drucker Newspiece":

It appears that Drucker's been all over the map... literally. Global News Interactive's investigative report tells a history of the man we have been searching for. It's no wonder he has chosen to keep so much of his past a secret. When he was born, he came face-to-face with man's worst form of communication - war. I wonder what that kind of beginning does to a person. Decide for yourself after watching the story at www.9thwonders.com

Hana's further concern about the virus

New text from Hana:

Discovr more about the virus. It may lead us to deepr secrets within The Company. Follow my lead here: http://activatingevolution.org/

As last week's messages seemed to be a delayed notice for the previous update, this could likely be a reference to the videos added to this update, which included an Intro video and Parts One and Two. Three additional videos were later added:

• Part Three
  Discusses the history of bioterrorism.
• Part Four
  Discusses steps in identifying a potential pandemic.
• Part Five
  Discusses quarantining and isolating patients.

---

ETA: A new email (thanks to Alex for reporting this) confirms the reference, with the subject "Virus Expert Videos":

Dr. Suresh claims to be making new advancements in his studies on the Shanti virus, but his recent devotion to The Company makes his previous altruistic intentions somewhat questionable. I can only hope he is still doing the right thing. He has posted more expert videos on his website: activatingevolution.org. I believe the videos are supposed to help us in the understanding of the virus and its potential outbreak. You be the judge.

Three additional videos have been added:

• Part Six
• Part Seven
• Part Eight

There is also a new post at Hana's blog:

It seems that Dr. Suresh is updating his website more often than usual. Is he trying to help us learn more about the virus or mislead us into believing in The Company? I’m not sure who to trust anymore. I keep hoping for word from Drucker, but am only met by a silence so loud that I fear the worst.

HG

Hana's warning about the virus

This text just arrived from Hana:

The potential ov a virus outbreak is growing. Always remember to be cautious and keep safe. Learn about the virus here: http://activatingevolution.org/

Perhaps this is a reference to last week's update at the Activating Evolution site. Hana also made a reference to the virus in her blog last week, and a more direct reference to the site update in her blog today:

The more I learn about the Shanti virus, the more I'm scared. However, learning about what viruses are and what they can do is important in staying safe and out of harm’s way. Click on the link to learn more: http://activatingevolution.org/.

HG

ETA: An email has also arrived, with the subject "Expert Opinions":

It appears that Dr. Suresh has added more to his website from experts who discuss how viruses are spread. Click on the link to see their explanations: activatingevolution.org

Hana's concern about the Shanti virus

Thank you, madammina, for reporting Hana's new blog post

The Shanti virus is capable of more harm than I ever imagined. Maybe that’s why The Company has been keeping it quiet for so long. Linderman’s files are loaded with secrets. Hopefully, with Drucker’s help, more will continue to surface.

HG

Drucker sends Hana explosion video

The new post at Hana's blog gives us an interesting (if not slightly familiar) video:

"Drucker has made contact. This could be the break we need to find out more about the founding fathers of "The Company." I have a hunch that Drucker may have known many of them personally. Let's hope he's willing to share more.

Here's what he sent:

Hana,

Does this video look familiar? We should talk, there's more to tell. I've been watching them too...for a long time.

-Drucker

Looks like Drucker was monitoring Linderman's plan to blow up NYC too. Wonder why? I sent him a reply.

Let's hope he gets back to us soon. I'm anxious to see if he has more to reveal. Until then, we wait...with bated breath...

HG"

New text message, too, directing us to this update:

"Ive found Druck. He sent me a msg w/ an attachment that will really blow your mind. Check out the vid here: http://samantha48616e61.com"

An e-mail arrived as well, titled "Contact":

"Drucker contacted me. He may have more information than I ever imagined. This could be it. See what he sent here: http://samantha48616e61.com"

New graphic novel: The Last Shangri-La

The new link from Hana's recent post and email (see previous post) leads to a new graphic novel, titled "THE LAST SHANGRI-LA":

After digging through the rubble of Daniel Linderman's private archives, Hana Gitelman is closer than ever to obtaining critical information about The Company. Answers to her questions lie with a mysterious man named "Drucker", a rogue associate of the Founders. A new hero is introduced when Hana enlists the help of her allies, and a wanderer named "Trav" answers the call.

[Psst... Remember that sketch that I gave you a sneak peek of last week? (See this post, if you forgot.) Well, now we get to see where it is used.]
