Voicemail

Tracey is calling Sam to let him know she is worried about him (she also sounds a little sleepy). She wants to make sure he's okay as he hasn't seemed right lately. She reminds him he's, "...not alone."

E-Mail

Sent Items:

Subject: Employment Opportunity Recipient Austral Air

• Sam is responding to their offer of employment, but declining as "one or two things have come up". Also, he's not sure he wants to work for an airline.

Subject: Message Recipient: Tracey R

• He apologizes for not getting in touch with her but something has "come up" for him, and he has a "bad feeling" about what's going to happen.

Inbox:

Subject: Employment Opportunity Sender: Austral Air

• They are informing Sam that a position may have come up that would work for him, and would like him to come to Sydney. It's signed Isaac Chapman

Subject: [no subject] Sender: Unknown

• The number: 411151057 appears.
• Thanks to Maven for e-mailing about this. 411151057 translates to ALL IS LOST. WeBB at Dark UFO figured this out using 1337 (leet).
  

Website

The site is Ocean Forecasts and it is a weather report for the Sunda Trench for the next 24 hours.

• It reports Southerly gales and rough or very rough seas that may be occasionally high.
• Thanks to Memphish in comments for the link to the Beaufort Scale which is used for measuring gales.
• http://www.oceanforecasts.com is not a live site at this time.

I'm left with some questions, how about you? 1. What's so important about this correspondence with Austral Air? 3. Could that weather report be any more all encompassing? It does look like there's some rough weather ahead though.

Chapter 2- Did you hear what I heard?

1/11/08 Video Diary: "There's nothing to find here."

Sam has given us his second video diary. In it he looks weary, seems discouraged, and tells us, "I think I have made a big mistake."

• He gives his location as: 300 KM off Indonesian coast at the Sunda Trench (which is 7,000 meters deep in places).
  
• The video is skippy with horizontal lines across it. There are several blips where something is visible in the frames of the video (see the shots above). One blip contains the words shipwreck, Black Rock, and salvage while a second is a blip of the Oceanic Air commercial.
  
• He references the Maxwell Group e-mail with it's "incomprehensible numbers", and can't make sense of it. He wonders if someone is playing a trick on him because he was "...mouthing off on TV ," and he thinks he should get off at the next port.

1/10/08 Clue:

Tonight's update gives us: 2 Web Sites, 5 e-mails, and 1 voicemail.

Web Sites:
The first is the Black Rock site which we had an accidental preview of earlier.

• The site outlines the history of the ship mentioning that it collected gold from mines in Papua New Guinea.
  
• Instead of sailing west to Africa it went easterly and was never seen again.

The second is about Amelia Earhart. It outlines her biography and is also missing three images at the bottom of the page.

• 1928- She was first woman to fly across the Atlantic.
  
• 1932- She repeated the flight solo.
• 1937- She attempted a mission as the first woman to fly around the world.
  
• On July 2 of that year she and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared en route from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific.
• Her body and plane have never been recovered
  

E-Mails:

• Sent: Sam writes to the Broadcasting Authority. He inquires about any radio documentaries about Amelia Earhart's disappearance broadcast in the last few days .
  
• Inbox: The Broadcasting Authority replies stating that there were no records of the transmission that Sam heard. They cite amateur radio enthusiasts, who tend to broadcast materials including historical recordings, as the likely explanation.

• Sent: Sam writes to Tracey, telling her that the camera she lent him is "playing up" and it's interfering with the playback heads and affecting the motor drive.
• Inbox: Tracey replies saying the camera was working when she last had it.
  

• Inbox: Tracey writes giving Sam information about the Black Rock. The information is consistent with the voicemail she left with clues for the Black Rock trivia game.
  
• It also confirms that the Christaine 1 is indeed going to look for the Black Rock

Voicemail from Mum:

• She is wondering why he hasn't called her back.
  
• Apparently he hasn't told her that he has left for the Sunda Trench as she went to his place and he wasn't there.
  
• She's worried that he hasn't been himself and that he might do something "silly".

And Also:
Finally, something interesting comes in an e-mail to Oceanic Conspiracies, from korijane. Attached was a picture of yesterday's Season 1 Clue. Could this be the temple that Ben is leading everyone to?

Chapter 1- Clue Hunt and Billboards

Clue Hunt:

• Find815.com had updated with the release of 4 Clue Hunts (See the "Help" section on the site for more details).

• There is a new video in "The Story So Far".
  
• The video shows Sam in bed awakened by a window that has come unlatched, and is banging open and closed. When Sam latches the window he sees the reflection of Sonya in the window. He turns and sees her flight attendant uniform hanging on the closet door, and hangs it up.
  
• At the end of the video we are taken to Sam's bedroom where we have our Clue Hunt:
1. Drive Shaft CD (Live From Jakarta)-Your Season 1 Clue
2. Pearl-Your Season 2 Clue.
3. Rocking Chair-Your Season 3 Clue
4. Oceanic Hotline (888-546-0034)-Your Season 4 Clue
• To access clue 4 you need to enter Matthew or Abaddon (the ABC and Yahoo7 passwords from Pack Sam's Bag).
• When calling the hotline you get the following message:

"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 the crash of 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 the investigation. Please contact your accident coordinator or call back later for more information." Source: Dark Ufo Find815

• There is also a new voice mail from mum on the cell phone on Sam's Desk (Thanks Docartz for the text).
• "Sam, it's mum. I just saw you on the telly. What's going on? You're going to loose your job if you keep carrying on like that. I know you probably wouldn't care at the moment, but you look like you hadn't slept in days. I'm worried about your health Sam, physical and... well, otherwise. Can you call me?"
