Chapter 1
Sam Thomas watches a news report on how Oceanic has called off the largest search in history. He sees himself commenting about how his girlfriend of 8 years was a stewardess. He gets a cryptic email with a doctored photo of Sonya and these words: "Sunda Trench," "Christiane I," "Black Rock," and "Tell no one, grave consequences" all hidden on the photo. He tries to reply but gets an error message. Within the error message he notices the-maxwell-group. He looks at his map and finds the Greater Sunda Islands, east of the Christmas Islands.
He then emails his friend Tracey and discovers the Christiane I is a salvage boat docked in Jakarta. His friend David manages to book tickets for him. He gets a voice mail from his mother, who is worried about his behavior.
Sam wakes up to see Sonya in his window. She says, "Love you madly." Sam turns around and sees his old Oceanic uniform on his door. An interactive game starts. You collect items; a Driveshaft CD-Live in Jakarta, a jewelry box of pearls and a rocking chair. Then you have to rearrange Sam's gear into a suitcase to get the season four clue then enter it to get a piece of paper "Oceanic Hotline - 888 548-0034" A woman answers and says, "Thank you for calling the Oceanic Airlines flight 815 hotline. Information is updated as the investigation proceeds. Investigations are thorough and as such may take a period of time to complete. At this time we do not have any additional information regarding crash flight 815. If you are a family member or relative of a passenger on Oceanic flight 815 we are sorry for your loss. Detailed information is given during the daily family briefings. This briefing updates families on the progress of the investigation and allows for questions to be asked of the medical examiner or coroner and other parties connected to this investigation. Please contact your accident coordinator or call back later for more information."
Sam then gets an email telling him he was fired from Oceanic for talking publicly. He applies for Austral Air, based in Reunion Islands in the Indian Ocean.
Mr. Friendly has been emailing people wishing them namaste and such.
On the map, in the south pacific region, between Sydney and Fiji, the word MATTHEW pops up. There is an island in the vicinity with the same name. Hmm...
I was curious about the fact that there was 2 passwords given after the Pack Sams Bag activity. So I looked the words up, there is a Matthew Is in French Polynesia, which is cool. Its ties in, the french woman, french polynesia, password clue to the Oceanic Hotline.
Then there is Abaddon:
A•bad•don [ə bádd'n]
noun
1. devil: in Christianity, the devil of the bottomless pit
2. depths of Hell: in Christianity, the bottomless pit of Hell
[15th century. abaddon "the place of destruction"]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abaddon_(demon):
Abaddon (Hebrew:אבדון,Avaddon - destruction, abyss) , in demonology, was chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy. He was called The Destroyer and, in the Book of Revelation, St John called him the King of the locusts (Rev 9: 7-11).
The Thanksgiving Hymns—a copy was also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls—tells of "the Sheol of Abaddon" and of the "torrents of Belial [that] burst into Abaddon". The Biblical Antiquities of Philo mentions Abaddon as a place (sheol, hell), not as a spirit or demon or angel. In Paradise Regained, Milton also uses Abaddon as a place—the pit. It appears to have been St. John who first personified the term to stand for an angel. In the 3rd century Acts of Thomas, Abaddon is the name of a demon, or the Devil himself. Abaddon has also been identified as the angel of death and destruction, demon of the abyss, and chief of demons of the underworld hierarchy, where he is equated with Samael or Satan. In magic and alchemy, Abaddon is the Destroying Angel of the Apocalypse. In Barrett's The Magus, Abaddon is pictured, in colour, as one of the evil demons. In Medieval legend, Abaddon was considered as a synonym for Hell and/or the ruler thereof, and in Revelations 9:7-11, he was the Christian angel of Hell. The Hebrew word abadon, from which the name is derived, means "destruction" (Job 26:6 and Psalms 88:11).
Abaddon has also been considered the Hebrew name for the Greek god Apollyon.[citation needed]
Not long after Judeo-Christian teachings taught the name of this demon, Abaddon referred to the pit or cave that was used in mystery religions and schools as a rite of passage into the greater mysteries. Often the experience would entail the use of ritual substances that put the aspirant into an altered state in which he or she could receive divine revelation. Because the experience was sometimes unpleasant, this rite came to be viewed as being "hellish." However, it was considered absolutely necessary so that the seeker may become pure enough to encounter the "mind of God", as an angel is described as the "Angel of the bottomless pit who binds Satan for a thousand years".
In occultism and esoterism, Abaddon is related to blood red, brown and green colours, winter, the month of January, Saturday, intuition, sacrifice and challenge, the ruby and the sword. His Tarot symbol is the one of judgement.

The Maxwell Group's first email appears to be a mess of mathematics but not sure what to make of it, perhaps differential GPS to locate the island?
Hidden Video Diary-Jan. 3, 2008
"My name is Sam Thomas.
And up until a few days ago I worked for Oceanic Airlines.
I was an IT technician.
My partner Sonya also worked for Oceanic.
She was a flight attendant.
Sonya was on board Flight 815 when it...disappeared.
Oceanic have recently decided to abandon the search for 815.
Despite this I won't stop looking.
You see I need to know what happened.
And if I'm honest with myself this is part of the reason why.
She's a beauty isn't she.
Two months from now was to be the
8th anniversary of the day Sonya and I met.
And my plan was to get down on one knee,
which would have really embarrassed her,
give her this ring and ask her to marry me.
And that would have made up for all the times I could have.
But I didn't.
Tomorrow I'm flying to Jakarta.
I'm going to hitch a ride aboard a salvage boat called the Christiane I
which is looking for a shipwreck somewhere in the deepest waters on the planet.
And I'm doing this because I received a coded message
in a photograph from a group called 'MAXWELL'.
It might seem crazy but to tell you the truth I feel like crap,
I can't sleep and I'm not going to just sit around
waiting to feel good again.
I've had enough of waiting until it's too late."
And there's a mystery man in the diary.
The text on the ring box reads Manhattan.
I found a link to www.LinkedId.com where a David Massingham is registered..
Well, that has nothing to mean, I think it could be someone else.
But then I searched at www.LinkedId.com for Nathan Mayfield and Tracey Robertson. And they are registered there, too.
Both live in South Brisbane Area, Australia and studied at the Queensland University of Technology.
So I searched for Thomas Killen and he is there, too AND:
He lives in South Brisbane Area and studies at the Queensland University of Technology. So I think here is clear, that he is somehow related to Nathan and Tracey and Hoodlum.
A woman named Kelly at LinkedIn.com and she lives in South Brisbane Area and is a Producer of Hoodlum AND she at the Keyword "Find 815" when i searched for "Find 815" at Hoodlum.
Here are all the links to LinkedIn.com:

In regards to Zeke Klotho Freundlich, I think this is one of those things that if you're looking for something, you'll see it - like people thinking there's something special about the number 23, so they see it everywhere... So I'm just e-mailing this out of speculation.
I Googled “Klotho” and got
http://www.4adi.com/flr/klotho.html. Now, I'm sure it's a coincidence and this is most likely a real company. (Though the bottom string of words saying "KLOTHO (The aging suppressor) Antibodies," over and over and over three thousand times seems less than professional, like they're trying to work the Google system or something.) But a LOT of it relates to Lost in suspicious ways.
The site claims that:
1. Klotho antibodies are an aging suppressor.
2. It causes "atrophy of genital organs" like the scan of the woman they showed to Juliet when she was being recruited.
3. It talks about testing on humans (others?), rabbits (Ben's?) and monkeys (Joop?... okay he wasn't a monkey, but still...)
4. It claims the products they sell are for "in vitro research use only." Sort of like what Ben has Juliet doing?
5. This is their old website, which links you to a new website with their new street address. Their old street address is "5415 Lost Lane".
Anyway, that's just some of it. A lot seems really over my head scientifically, so I don't know what to think - I just thought I'd pass it on and see if the expert thought it was weird.
Sunda Trench-January 6, 2008
So we've seen the Sunda trench info page with a diagram of the trench, a man's picture and a diagram, right?
As you may have known, the man is James Maxwell. Nothing new here. BUT I find out that the diagram is a diagram of a slave ship, here's the original pic:
http://mateengreenway.com/steampunk/Slaveshipposter.jpgThe ARG team have edited it but I am sure the diagram came from that poster. Maybe it's connected to the Black Rock? Here's the link where I find the pic:
http://mateengreenway.com/steampunk/Space1889timeline.htmThe page contains a timeline, what somehow mentioned the Sunda Strait too
I was searching Sean Dowling/Australia and came up with this website. An abc site Australia and David Messingham came up with him. The link is posted below.
http://www.abc.net.au/jtv/comedy/ministryoftruth.htmMinistry of Truth

Special Guests
Meet Special Guests, the hardest working Australian rock band of all. From stadium concerts to backwater bars, there seems no gig too large or too small for them to play support. They have supported the best musicians that this country and the world has to offer without ever having achieved headlining status. Till now. We meet the band as they are preparing for their first headline show.

I found this when I goggled Ministry of Truth. On wikpedia site it says the following...
The Ministry of Truth (or Minitrue, in Newspeak) is one of the four ministries that govern Oceania in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. As with the other Ministries in the novel, the Ministry of Truth actually does the opposite of what its name implies, being responsible for the falsification of historical events; and yet is aptly named in a deeper sense, in that it created/manufactured "truth" in the newspeak sense of the word.
The Ministry of Truth is involved with news, entertainment and the fine arts. Its purpose is to rewrite history and change the facts to fit party doctrine, for propaganda effect. For example, if Big Brother makes a prediction that turns out to be wrong, the employees of the Ministry of Truth go back and rewrite history so that any prediction Big Brother previously made is accurate.
The following are the departments of the ministry mentioned in the text:
Records Department (Recdep in Newspeak)
Fiction Department (Ficdep in Newspeak)
Propaganda Department (Propdep in Newspeak)
Tele-programmes Department (Teledep in Newspeak)
Research Department (Resdep in Newspeak)
Music Department (may not belong to the Ministry of
Truth)
