THE HANSO FOUNDATION WEBSITE

Easter Eggs:

- Sign up for the newsletter:
Type in a username, enter 'yes' when asked if you can read this. Password (from phone message) is "breaking strain". You should then get a message involving Persphone logging in/out.
Note: you will need to have done this to access most, if not all, of the others.

- Joop's corner:
Send him any message. A new image will appear. Click both circled dots in the set to join them, and continue this until a red circle appears -- click that. You will now get a letter. Use your mouse to scroll over it, then click the signature at the bottom to get the next letter. Click the signature again to get "The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority"

- Hidden numbers on map:
'Active Projects' -> 'World Wellness..' -> 'World Map'. Click on the map near Florida, then use your mouse to hover over the white area to the left. You'll see a whole lot of jumble, and some numbers. These correspond to letters, forming the phrase "missing organs"

- Persephone's Alvar records:
Under Exec. Bios, click the Octover 28th link under Alvar's picture. Keep clicking the text. A world map will appear and Persephone will tell you the cities and dates are recorded sitings of Alvar Hanso. Morse code playing background corresponds to something along the lines of 'SAFER', 'SAFEG', 'SAFE9'..

- Dr Thomas Mittlewerk:
Click on the doctor's bio, then type in "Heir Apparent" (from subLYMONal). A dark image should appear. Click on the girl, and then the words underlined in red to get this

- Hugh McIntyre:
NOTE: His photo is now missing
Input the password "the mouthpiece" from an image in his mail folder into the box in McIntyre's bio, asking you to "log in for press release". Click on the now highlighted text and Persephone will show you a video (Dated May 17, '06), and imply that he was having an affair. Click to proceed to screen with various falling oddities. Click the pink letters, which will open up to show various documents

- Peter Thompson:
Letters flashing over his picture in his bio spell out the phrase "survivorguilt". Enter this into an invisible text box directly beneath the image and press enter. This will bring up some legal documents, and clicking on all three will reveal a summary of the folder's respective contents. After viewing all three, the screen will show the message: "I work for criminals, always have, always will"

- Peck and Vanderfield
Exec. Bios -> Board of Directors. Input password "inmate asylum" (from Hanso Foundation Careers), using any username. Persephone will reveal that two board members, Lawrence Peck and Jacob Vanderfield are actually ex-convicts

- MRI Forecast Map
Active Projects -> Mathematical Forecast Initiative -> MRI forecast map.
Clicking on the various objects on the map bring up fact boxes, three of which are incomplete: Italy, Sudan and the USA. You can either google the answers, or simply cheat and enter "10.4", "2.55" and "42.000" respectively. There is also a hidden message in Mongolia stating "she was an employee of the foundation". After entering the three numbers, click on the white ring that has appeared in the Indian Ocean to bring up this short about Hanso starting wars.

:P

Did you know Hugh McIntyre's begun replying to emails?

[Red Matrix]

oh really? Has he replied to yours?

[sleepwalker]

I never sent him an email :/

[I_love_sawyer]

Thanks for this sleep! I didn't know some of the stuff you said about the hanso foundation.

[sleepwalker]

Whatever its purpose, The Hanso Foundation probably has the greatest website I've seen in ages. Hell, it even loads faster than MSN.com does.

Can anyone read what the text is that flashes over the warping images after viewing Thompson's files? They only appear for, like, a split second, but they're definitely there. I wish my computer was slower

[Red Matrix]

These are the letters I can make out, in order of appearance in 8 seconds.

T U R V C I L ? U V I O R U L S R I V P C L T S U I V O U I T S R U V O R U I T S U I V R C L T S U I O C I L

? = i didn't make it out. I don't know where the pattern starts.. this may be incomplete, or more than 1 sequence.

[sleepwalker]

mm..just weird :/
