Mittelwerk Recording

little_korean.jpg
Mittelwerk knows a little Korean

has put up a new post about a secret recording she made of Thomas Mittelwerk and a Korean colleague. You have to search for the recording on the Web. She gives this link as a hint:

Also, this may be a clue: "105years"

Good Hunting! Let us know what you find out!

Here is a direct link to the recording. The following is a transcript of the conversation, translated into English:

MITTELWERK: Minsu, so great to see you.

MINSU: Dr. Mittelwerk. Good to see you too. Mr. Paik sends his warmest regards.

MITTELWERK: He's just saying that because we've paid him so much money.

MINSU: Ah. I see that it's straight to business.

MITTELWERK: As always.

MINSU: I think you'll be pleased to hear your ship is almost ready; with all the modifications. But I have to warn you - this kind of ship can't dock just anywhere.

MITTELWERK: We have a port. How long will it be?

MINSU: I'd say no sooner than three weeks.

MITTELWERK: Could you pass the pepper? So what will it take to make it 2 weeks?

Thanks to YoShie! Translation by Kwon-Yong Su.

How to get to the new audio file:

This opens up the audio content.
It does not make a difference what your yahoo id is.

I don't even think you need to be logged into yahoo.

First attempts at translation go something like this, from someone named mochi (http://www.blogger.com/profile/17165354) on Rachel's blog:


asian: How do you do?

middelwerk: How do you do, Doctor?

asian: Mister Paik says "hello".

middelwerk: I think paid a lot of money to you.

asian: Then can we talk about business?

middelwerk: Yes.

asian: Is the "satellite place" almost ready? "Someone" wants to know if the dish is ready, but if we're talking about business, we can't pay like this.

middelwerk: We have a port. How long will it take?

asian: 3 weeks.

middelwerk: Can you send a note? What can I do to make it 2 weeks?

A better attempt at translation, from lost.beloblog.com:

Dr. Mittelwerk: "Minsu, it's nice to meet you."

Other guy: "Dr. Mittelwerk, it's nice to meet you too."

Dr. Mittelwerk: "Mr. Beck is sending his regards."

Other guy: "The reason he is sending me regards is that I had him pay a lot of money."

Dr. Mittelwerk: "Let's talk about business."

Other guy: "Yes, let's do it"

Dr. Mittelwerk: "You want to hear that the delivery service is almost ready. Speaking of the delivery service: we can't drop the delivery just anywhere."

Other guy: "But we have a harbor (for the delivery). How long will it take?"

Dr. Mittelwerk: "At least 3 weeks"

Other guy: "Can you pass me the black pepper. What will it take for you to get it delivered in TWO weeks?"

(hidden behind the pepper shaking: "Grab it")

Ya'll think I'm obsessed? Maybe I should post less. :)

When you goto "http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com" and highlight the 108 (same as before), there is now a strange watermark with "WTK" beneath it.

A better version of the watermark is here:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j226/yoshie66/image3.png

It's been determined that it's an image of Persphone from Greek mythology (also the Maralvingina's girlfriend in THE MATRIX). A better copy of the image can be found here:

http://www.elore.com/Mystery/Learning/elusinian.htm

It's been suggested that the painting's author is "Dante Gabriel Rossetti".

From zky @ http://thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com: i've seen the title as both persephone and prosperine. painted in 1874. dante gabriel rossetti, poet and painter, b., 1828, cofounder of the pre-raphaelites. more info on websites dealing w/pre-raphaelite artists

Also, we now know what the meaning if the "48 hours" clue from http://www.retrieversoftruth.com/default.aspx means: the video Rachel posted on www.broadbandstories.com has been removed - 48 hours after being posted.

Rachel finally posted again. Seems we have yet another video to find. She says that this one is posted with the help of mel0drama. Her clue is this URL
