Chapter 3 – Video Diary (HQ)

***UPDATE***: Added more screenshots and transcript from the video.

Here is the third video diary in high quality.



Thanks to Dudu Maroja for the following transcript:

Well, I'm still here.
I couldn't convince the captain to let me off
so it looks like as though I'm in for the long haul.
Mind you, I think it may be worth hanging around -
a few things have come up. I now know that Talbot
is working for 'The Maxwell Group'
-- the same people who have been sending me these emails.
Unfortunately, it seems no one told Talbot that I was joining the expedition.
He won't be telling me what he knows with me any time soon.
But at least I know I'm on the right track.
Speaking of which, I finally worked out what those cryptic emails were about
See within all those numbers there were coordinates -- longitude and latitude.
I don't know where they point to yet but I'll check it out on Talbot's chart plotter.
I mean I'll have to hack in, but that'll be a piece of cake.
Sonya would hate all this sneaking around.
She always liked things out in the open.
If something was on her mind, she'd want to bring it up.
And she expected me to do the same, which I hated.
I mean sometimes, you just don't know what's on your mind.
I suppose it brought me out of my shell.
I just miss her. Having her there to talk to.
Get things off my chest.
But it's been good... good to have something to do.
You know, less thinking. Yeah.
Anyway, I'd better get back to it.

Here are some interesting screenshots from the video:

1) Braille in the top-right corner



1.1) There are many possibilities for conversion, but using the simplest one (symbol - letter) except for the first symbol you get: "with d x i h a d f j i". It may be anagram which is the password for the steg picture. If you find something useful post it as a comment.



2) A figure of a man?



3) A figure of a woman?



4) White figure?



4.1) Thanks to Opium, who inverted the colors, played with the pieces and got the picture of James Clerk Maxwell



5) Sam in red (carpe diem = a red pic me)

"Black Rock" Speculation

During Chapter three's Video clips Both the Captain & Talbot talk to Sam about searching for "Black Rock"



So Is Talbot looking for a ship wreck of "The Black Rock"
Or could he be looking for "Magnetite" ? (also known as "Black Rock")

Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth.
Could Talbots 'Special Equipment' (that the captian had to install) be to search for large magnetic readings ?

If so, It could be Talbots cover story for the captain that hes searching for "Black Rock"

If there are large ammounts of Magnetite in the area maybe it could effect Compass barings ?

Thanks to MikeNY for this extra Information on magnetite
"Beginning in the 1950s, scientists, using magnetic instruments (magnetometers) adapted from airborne devices developed during World War II to detect submarines, began recognizing odd magnetic variations across the ocean floor. This finding, though unexpected, was not entirely surprising because it was known that basalt -- the iron-rich, volcanic rock making up the ocean floor-- contains a strongly magnetic mineral (magnetite) and can locally distort compass readings. This distortion was recognized by Icelandic mariners as early as the late 18th century. More important, because the presence of magnetite gives the basalt measurable magnetic properties, these newly discovered magnetic variations provided another means to study the deep ocean floor."

So what is Talbot really looking for ?
A ship wreck, Magnetite, or could he be looking for the Island ?
And if Talbot is looking for the Island, is he working for Penny Widmore ?

Oceanic Flight 815 Found

I am sure this is fake but thought it would be interesting to post for those who have not seen it yet.

Maybe this video inspired the creation of the Lost ARG Find 815?

Inbox changes

Thanks to Morgan for the following.

Here are a few screen shots we took of the first video, when Sam is first checking his email and encounters the photo. His inbox changes each time it is shown in the video. There are different names, as well as different email subjects that we haven't yet been able to click through once we get to Sam's desk.

Thanks to DarkUFO reader Jed for the following.

Sam Thomas posted a video on Facebook, which linked me to a video hosted by User "Traceyr1975." So far there are two videos, one of Oceanic's original commercial and another of the commercial hacked by Sam. Here's the link:
