The ODI

Hey All,
In tonight's episode of LOST we finally got our first look at Ajira Airways, which was introduced to us via a LOST ARG.

Here you go:

Episode 5x04 The Little Prince - Ajira Airways Water Bottle

Hey All,
This week's DSA email brings us a reminder from Damon and Carlton about tonight's premiere and a special thanks from them.

They apologize that there is no video this week, but update us on production. They confirm that filming for Episode 5x11 is currently being filmed and more.

Here is the email...enjoy!!

Hey All,
The Ajira Airways site, which is a part of the LOST ARG has been updated.

A new video showing the Ajira Airways gate with passengers boarding for a flight to Honolulu!!

Thanks to Sawyer840 for the heads up.

Hey All,
A couple of days ago we were able to gain access to one of the new DSA videos that happened to be a Sbeak Peek for Episode 5x02. No email was sent out but finally today we have received this week's email!!

The password this week is "Bharosa" which is actually a Hindi word that can mean belief/trust in someone/thing.

Below is a screencap of the email and here is a link to the sneak peek that was released that is posted in the spoilers section of the site.

NOTE: The video today is a slightly extended version of the sneak clip from a couple of days ago!!

The second video is just a slide show of the Season 5 Promotional Pics which you can access via entering the password at the DSA Link:

DharmaSpecialAccess.com

NOTE: This email contains MINOR SPOILERS (Episode Titles)

Hey All,
The latest DSA email and video have been released.

This week's video is a behind the scenes look at the LOST post-production and Writer's offices. It is a really cool video and can be accessed via using the new password "Holma".

All of the passwords have had some sort of connection to Season 5 and Holma is actually a language of Nigeria and Cameroon. Perhaps a connection to Eko and Yemi!?

Here is more details from this site UNESCO:
Holma was spoken by a small ethnic community of the same name. The Holma adopted the culture and language of the Fulani and the Holma language has been replaced by Fulfulde. Only a few old men are able to speak the language of their forefathers.

Well here is the video and a few screencaps to enjoy!!

NOTE: There are some minor spoilers because it shows the who is "Alive", "Dead" and "Undead" on the wall n the writers room.

Hey All,
Well ever since the new Ajira Airways site has been updated many of you have been cracking away at it knowing that there has to be more than just one hidden screencap in the commercial.

Quite quickly many were trying combination after combination of potential destinations and dates in the "Flights" section of the site.

Of course, if you combine ALL of the clues and input them in the correct areas of the "Select a Flight" area, well you are one step closer to the solution.

What are those clues you ask!?

First, thanks to everyone who has worked very hard and for those that have sent this in (Porot, Maladylis, and everyone else).

Ok here is what you have to do...

So on the flights page enter the following:
1) One Way
2) From: Los Angeles, CA
3) To: Guam (From Origami Solution)
4) Departing: 1/21/2009 (S5 Premiere date and Hidden in Commercial)
5) Flight #316 11:30am (Flt 316 also Hidden in Commercial)
6) Adults: 10
7) Children: 0
8) Promotional Code: 112114111109111 (This is the number on the Sky Miles Card and the numbers can be converted to say "PROMO")

Here is the Sky Miles Card:


Now, if you enter all this correctly, an actual seating chart of a Ajira Airways Flight 316 will pop up. You can then click on the individual seats to uncover very quick flashes of images. Now, these flashes reveal some minor spoilers for Season 5, so if you do not like spoilers, then do not view them.

NOTE: Some of the images have also already been revealed in the Dharma Special Access Videos.

So far 7 images have been found I am putting them behind a button for those that want to remain spoiler free.

Hey All,
Here is the video of the new Ajira Airways Commercial that appears on the Ajira Site and at the end of the new DSA Video.

The video has a quick flash of someone holding a sign with the number "316". More details about this image can be found in the spoilers section here: Ajira Airways Commercial Reveals Spoilers

Thanks to Sawyer840 for the clip.

Hey All,
Since the new Ajira Airways site has been updated, many of you have found several different hidden items and apparently there is quite a bit of hidden code on the various pages of the site.

Some of the hidden messages are in HEX Code and can be translated by using a HEX Code Translator. The other hidden messages could possibly be anagrams.

Below is a summary of the various bits of hidden code. There are buttons after each code that reveal the translations/mesages. If I missed anything feel free to contact us.

NOTE: For some there could be possible spoilers for Season 5 being discussed.

Thanks to Bigsimpsin, Lisa and everyone else for sending in the details.

Hey All,
Many of you I am sure have found the Origami Ball instructions on the updated Ajira Airways site. Here are the details and screencaps for those that can not find it.

If anyone has put this together and has taken a picture of what it looks like or is on the inside, please send them in.

Thanks Keeping Pace for the heads up.

Also, if you click on "Ajira Adventures" and then scroll down to the blurb about Island Adventures, there is a link to a pdf file w/ detailed instructions about how to fold your boarding pass into an origami ball, along w/ the curious line "you never know what you might find hiding right inside." I have a feeling that the info on the ticket rearranges itself to spell out a hidden message!

Hey All,
The new DWY email has also been sent out to announce the Dossiers. Hidden in the email was the following "DSAqandaatgmaildotcom". If you send an email to this address you get an auto reply explaining that you can submit a question to get it answered by LOST Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse...!!

Here is a screencap of the DSA Email and the full text of the DWY Email.

Thanks to everyone for the heads up! :)

NEW DWY Email:

http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/site/emails/1118.php

Namaste.

I am pleased to announce that registered recruits can now log in and download your personalized Volunteer Assessment Dossier outlining your full test results as well as your position within the Dharma Initiative.

I want to personally congratulate you on behalf of everyone at the Dharma Initiative for your hard work and diligence during our testing process.

We hope that you are happy with your results. We certainly are. The tests were extremely challenging and the aptitude and excellence displayed far exceeded our expectations.

Now that you are in possession of your results I am sure you are asking the obvious question: what's next?

Our plan was that together we would commence a glorious adventure: the revival of the Dharma Initiative using the myriad talents of all our amazing new recruits. We imagined not just fulfilling long abandoned goals but taking the Dharma Initiative to a new level of greatness as an organization promoting the peaceful social and technological advancement of all humankind.

Then the financial crisis struck.

Sadly, our benefactors were not immune to this crisis. In fact, unconfirmed reports suggest that much of the money designated for the work of the new Dharma Initiative was tied up in highly leveraged mortgage derivatives. This, however, cannot be confirmed because, I am sorry to report, the principals representing the benefactors - my employers - have gone missing. Based on bills still coming into our office we believe they are somewhere in South America.

This stunning reversal of fortune has forced us to abandon our ambitious plans. In fact, absent this funding, the Dharma Initiative was forced to make the only sensible decision we had available: we sold the Dharma Initiative to the television show LOST.

While this might strike some of you as a shock, the reason for this was not simply that they were the only bidder. As the only remaining Dharma Initiative employee who had not fled the country, I felt that at the very least the show would be able to keep the spirit of the Dharma Initiative alive and in the public consciousness until such time as a reversal of the reversal of our economic fortunes occurs.

It is with a heavy heart that I must bid you farewell. Despite my fervent commitment to the mission of the Dharma Initiative, the realities of a broken marriage, heavy casino debt and some unfounded police charges have required that I change my present circumstances. It is with great excitement that I can inform you of my pending senior sales management job at a large multi-brand auto dealership in Dubai. I have enjoyed our brief association more than I can ever express, and if you are ever in the Middle East and need a car, please e-mail me for a special "Dharma rate".

In the meantime, you will hear shortly from LOST showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. They will explain to you their future plans for the Dharma Initiative and how these plans might affect you.

Thank you again, personally, for your unflagging commitment and support. I hope our paths will one day cross again. In the meantime may the spirit of the island guide you.

Namaste.

Hans Van Eeghen
Head of Recruiting
The Dharma Initiative

Hey All,
In a little surprise the Dharma Initiative has released the results of the Dharma Wants You tests a month early! Here are some screencaps for what is all looks like!

In my test cheat account I was assigned to be a BrickLayer, what other positions are out there!?

(Click to Enlarge)

The LOST ARG Dharma Wants You site was updated again today and the tests have now been removed.

Once again we get another confirmation that it seems like we will not get anything more until Dec. 15th.

So what do you all think!?

Here are screencaps of the updated site:

(Click to Enlarge)

Hey Losties,
How are you all doing!? October has started, another month has passed and well we are only about 4 months away the Season 5 premiere!!

Ok ok I know 4 months is STILL a long time to go, but we are still posting away and trying to do our best help you all get through the hiatus.

Of course the spoiler lovers know that the LOST cast and crew are currently working on Episode 5x04 and will most likely begin production on Episode 5x05 as early as this week. If you like spoilers, make sure you click on the Spoilers Tab.

Yes I know many of you out there are NOT spoiler fans, so we still continue to post any and all LOST related news such as details about the Season 4 DVD to the Dharma Wants You ARG.

Plus, we have continued to record and post new podcasts for you all. In the first part of this most recent podcast, as promised I introduce Karen from MySpace as my new Co-Host and we actually give you our opinions of the Emmy Awards as we watched it live.

We also discuss various theories and talk about the latest happenings with the Dharma Wants You ARG.

In Part 2 of the podcast Karen and I have a special guest, our good friend DarkUFO (Andy) join us and that part will be posted soon!! We discuss the ARG, some stuff about Andy the person and then some spoilers.

So don't forget to subscribe at iTunes so you do not miss out on Part 2 and future podcasts and of course keep checking back here...!!

Here is the new DWY email that was sent out and it confirms once again that we have to wait until Dec. 15th and there is no hidden code that I could see.

Hey All,
Thanks to everyone for the heads up that Test 7 is up.

Test 7 is a video of Van Eeghan and has been confirmed as the Integrity Test which was a part of the whole testing procedure.

So if you used any of the cheats during the previous 6 tests, then you failed the recruitment process.

The whole process was a setup by Van Eeghan and he has confirmed he is the Black Swan. He says that all of the data has been gathered and we will NOT find out the results until December 15th!?

I will admit I did use a cheat on a few of the tests to see if they worked and now have been grouped in the "Black Swan" group.

I don't know what to tell you all, but I am sure many of you are disappointed, but hopefully there will be more. If not I guess we will have to wait.

Thanks to EVERYONE that has visited this page and emailed us your findings over the last two months. We will continue to monitor the site and if any of you have more details please let us know.

- The ODI

Hey All,
The New Dharma Email is to announce that Test 6 is now live, but it also provides us with a list of the new Dharma Instructors.

I noticed some of our very own DarkUFO readers on the list, so a big congratulations you all!! Apparently you all will get your own Dharma T-Shirts!!

If any of you get the shirts and take pictures of them or while wearing them we will post them here!!

Additionally there is another warning from Van Eeghan to NOT use the cheats from the Black Swan and that anyone that does will be dealt with by the DI.

So it looks like all of you that did cheat might not get a position with Dharma.

NOTE: I did not see any hidden code.
