LOST: Inside The Experience

I'm sorry, Nation. I just keep getting more and more behind. I meant to use the weekend to catch up on ITE, but I ended up using it to catch up on other work.

And that didn't turn out to be SUCH a bad thing since it seems a couple of familiar faces decided to ~~flirt with each other~~ contact each other on my, Ninja's, and OG's blogs.

The first message came to me:

"M--Conscience is keeping you in the fight, is it? Heard you call in to DJ Dan. If you're talking about who I think you are then you already know my answer."

So, I'm with you guys. I think this was to Malick/Ironman/Fixer. The next day, he replied on Ninja's blog:

"R -- I think it's fair to say, whatever conscience I have was built on faulty equipment. This is a matter of duty. Loyalty... Speaking of which, I've been troubled by the very recent disappearance of an old friend, de Zylva. We all saw your Sri Lanka video. You were captured at the end, and yet, there you were, blasting those Lost producers in San Diego not a week later. And, I have to wonder... did de Zylva have something to do with that? Do you know what's become of him?"

Who's de Zylva? Sounds more like friend than foe. But not even Rachel knows what happened to him. She said as much in a message posted on OG's blog:

"I knew you were behind that. I just knew. He never told me, you know?

When I hit the ground I was sure I was dead. The camera was broken, they were dragging me to my feet... and then a burst of gunfire in the air. These were SCIENTISTS, unarmed. They hit the ground. But not Mittelwerk. He kept coming until de Zylva turned the shots in his direction. Once Mittelwerk was face down on the ground, de Zylva grabbed my hand and we were gone. With the camera.

He didn't talk. He said he was de Zylva, that was it. We knew Mittelwerk was already in pursuit, but we stuck to tunnels that had been dug out during various wartimes. We had some close calls. The goal was the American embassy in Colombo, but when we got there, we knew that was impossible. It was being watched -- the airport, too. de Zylva said The Hanso Foundation had too much influence in Colombo to take the risk.

And, then, they caught wind of us again. We knew we could be caught at any second, and the only important thing was that video. EVIDENCE of Mittelwerk's world-wide decimation plot. I'd planned for this. All I needed was a secure, high-speed connection. The Hanso goons knew it too. They surrounded the place while I was uploading. We barricaded ourselves, de Zylva knew an escape route. I barely got out, made my way to a friend of de Zylva's who could get me to India. I swear, I waited for de Zylva. But he never came.

I'm so sorry."

And that's all we have for now. This is all very exciting. Where could it be leading? Will there be more?

I hope so. Just in case, keep your eyes peeled. We've gotten one a day for the past three days. Hopefully that will continue.

Now - I'm gonna see if I can't REALLY catch up.

Until next time.

Thanks for the catch up thread. The folks who didn't check in over the weekend will appreciate it. Like you, I hope things will continue to speed along after the conclusion of the very long glyph hunt. What happened to Rachel after she left Comic Con is what I want to know.

Triskele, good point about government projects and think tanks, but I always hope that someone will speak up and say that something is ridiculous or wrong when such is the case. I could work on a project that I felt was completely useless but that's just me.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but there's a wmalik listed as a user on the Letyourcompassguideyou.com" folder list.

Thinks that's the same person?

Walt is the key--
OK. maybe a little sorry for the ewoks. But NO QUARTER to the SMURFS! Little blue critters deserve to be ground up and used for pool cue chalk. (my personal theory as to what happened to them.)

Hi Speaker, He-Man here. Good post, battlecat printed all those numbers out for the bottom his litterpan, he says he's feels just like Hurley.

It's always been there, Tres.

After DjDan's podcast, I was like "Hey, Where have a I heard that name before?" and went looking...
