Oceanic Airlines - easter eggs! replyPosted: Jul 10 @ 04:12 AM by: stryd3r (56 Posts in the last 90 days) Registered: Mar 29, 2005 was LOSTing on the net and found this... ------------------------------ Most Lost Fanatics have already discovered this, but I will post a Guide to Oceanic-Air anyways.
First of all, it is important that you know that Oceanic Air is not a real airline, rather, it is the default airline used in films and series'.
A little more than a month ago, a site called Oceanic Air hit the WWW. It was aimed at promoting Lost during the summer '05 between the 1st and 2nd seasons.
http://www.oceanic-air.com/
Although many "Losties" do not trust the site, it has sparked many new questions Concerning the next season of ABC's Lost. The site is registered to Touchstone Television, a Branch of Walt Disney
The website contains a plethra of clues and hints to the future of the show. In this post, I shall illustrate (and perhaps even deciepher) them.
Upon entering the site, we are taken to the main page.
On the main page, we see a frame with a notice from Oceanic-Air: We regret to announce that Oceanic Airlines has ceased all operations effective immediately.
Michael Orteig, President of Oceanic Airlines, released this statement: "After 25 years of service, we are forced to close our doors. Due to financial difficulties in the wake of the Flight 815 tragedy, we are no longer able to sustain service.....
Let us begin our "quest" for Easter Eggs by moving the mouse to the right side of the frame containing the apology message. A grey line appears. Click and hold to drag it around. We now see a crumpled page of the supposed "Pink Script" from Exodus II (season finale)
The main entty that catches your eye here is of course "J.J. Abram's" text <<No! No!! No!! No!! Mapinguari!!! Not Yet!!>> What's a Mapinguari? It is a legendary primorial creature resembling a Sloth and/or a Komodo Dragon (?). Of course, as you may have already guessed the legends decribe it as enormous. Some Lost Fans, believe that Mapinguari is just a clue to the real (see LockeRox123 Theory on the theory board) nature of the "monster".
Moving on. Let us refresh the page and get the Script out of the way. Notice that next to the apology letter frame (rather "behind" it) certain letters appear to protrude. If you triple click on them, copy/paste to notepad you will see some of the bottle messages the castaways sent aboard the raft in Exodus I. (note that if you let your mose hover over the apology letter for a moment, another message will appear on top of it) -- viewing the page sourse is another method Messages:
____________________ Robert D. West of Santa Barbara, California, USA I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents. Mr. and Mrs. John West of Tuscon, Arizona Thank You - Robert
If anyone should find this message, please get word to Sandra Rafflethorpe of Palm Avenue in Lewiston, Idaho that her sister, Sally is alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they're getting worse... -Sally
If you are reading this note (duhh, you friggin' idiot) PLEASE get word to my wife, Christina Smith that her huband, Jake survived the crash of Oceanic Flight #815 along with 47 others. Darling I miss you so much and dream of the day I can see your face again. The very thought of that day is all that keeps me going here. Please don't forget me! - Jake Smith
This is Bob Jones, of Tulsa Oklahoma and I would like to inform the First National Bank of Enid that I will be late making my September morgage payment as I am STRANDED ON A FRIGGIN' ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! Please have the Government send a search team immediately or dont all the taxes I pay cover expenses like that? - BJ (kinda like Lesley Arzt, isn't he?) ____________________
Next. Look at the banner at the top of the page "Taking you to places you've never imagined". To the right, there are three trees on the island. Two stand normally, but the third appears to be FLOATING (or flying)... Is this the doing of the "security system"?, the "Monster"?, "Smokey" ?
Most of the pages give a 404 (URL not found) Error.
However if you click on "Island Insider" on the Site bar, the inflight magazine will open. Click on the text Oceanic Airlines In-Flight Exclusive The website will ask you a question (which you may attempt many times).. After you answer it correctly, the page will ask for your email, and tell you that they will send a special email imforming you of Lost updates (yeah.. right; 1 month and still no mail!!)
Now, this section appears to have dissapeared from the site. But a month ago, you could access an Oceanic Postcard.
Go back to the main page, we will now view the 815 seating chart (there are multiple ways to do this) Click track flight in the Site Menu. Type "815" in flight number A table pops up on the display. The status of flight 815 is on "Alert". Click on the "815" record.
A (Flash animated) Seating chart will now open. It takes time, but by clicking all over the place, certain seat of certain special castaways light up. When you click on them, Many different things happen. Try it..
Here are some images and details: (note that the flight here is called flight #777)
Jack 23A / 23C Oceanic flight 777 changes to 815 and flight815.com (an inactive website)
The bottle pops around the screen The vodka bottle labled Dojd (Russian for rain) [when viewed in "Pilot I" we cn see it also says "Vse Unichtojit" = "Everything Destroy"] We can also see the blur of Jacks face in the neck of the bottle at some moments.
Rose 23 D
A ring floats down the animation and we hear Roses voice saying "Started having me hold on to his wedding ring whenever we took a plane trip" (he speaks of her husband, who I'm guessing is very wise and still, very much alive [along with Ana-Lucia and company])
Shannon 8 F We see Sayid's Iraqi passport. On it are some Arabic details which i have yet to translate (when Hatch101 gets back, we will know more )
We see Danielles illustration of the island (near the lagoon area); ie: North-west side
"Rafiot" is where her boat crashed. I have interpreted ALL of her equations and I will post them sometime (theyre all on paper).. we also see the "La Mer" lyrics (used in Finding Nemo, 2002)
Boone 8 E
A (flashing) hand drawing of Boone (the dead do0d, but u already knew that, didn't you?) The drawing fades into blue and then disappears
John (Locke) 24 D This one scared the living crap out of me. We first see some pictures of survival guides, knives, etc.
Then out of nowhere comes a black & white pic of a p^ssed off Locke, and a horrible screeching sound. Like that of a subway train de-railing... wait.. where have we heard "train" before? That thing had me jumping off my chair trying to find the corner of my igloo.
Charlie 29 C We see his firls diary, and a picture of a man is scratched out.. I'm still working on this as well. Just befre we see that page however, for a fraction of a second, we see the page before it. I cannot capture this on my computer. Too fast
Then we see a [swinging] backstage, all access Driveshaft Pass.
Mars (Edward)-- The marshall with Kate 27 G We see an American Marshall's office ID.
This picture also alternates with a red hued picture of him sleeping
Kate 27 H Ok, why is her name Kate Ryan here? Isn't she Kate Austin? Was she married? The picture of the airplane on the seating chart changes to Kates (highschool sweetheart's) toy Plane. The one he recieved when flying from Dallas alone.
We then see a faxed copy of (the second page of) her mugshot .. not so hot now, eh?
Last, but most certainly not least; if you click (and make sure that you click), on the Row number Hurley's Lucky/Unlucky lotta numbers, in order (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) You will see the trailer for Lost: Season 2. Then you'll be taken to the "Hidden" Oceanic section of the ABC Message boards [made in MySQL powered by forums.go.com]
The msg the trailer gives us? "They will discover that they're not the survivors they thought they were"
