Geronimo Jackson -- Side A and Side B

Geronimo! That's what kids yell when they take a flying leap. The postings in this blog are observations, theories and screwball notions that I have not seen posted on the main The Lost Experience sites and that are too long-winded and half-assed to even think of inflicting on those blogs.

Anyway, here they are...starting with...

What is the significance of Geronimo Jackson? Unclear. However, now that we're more than half way through the Experience, I now realize that very first phone message from the Hanso Foundation used the album to provide an organizing structure for TLE. It might remind us to, as Vincent "Wally" Bole says, "keep who's eye on the prize?" Number, please?

There were five touch-tone options for the voicemail and each option does describe a storyline or act of TLE .
A few of the many questions I can't answer are 1) where is Middelwerk's "constantly updated" employee line? Could it be DJDan? And when will we meet Irene? Or is she already in play?

Option 1--the big picture
(transcript thanks to The Lost Experience Clues and the Alternative Reality Lost Game site and the incredible administrators and commenters who do all the heavy Hanso lifting for lurkers like me!)

WOMAN’S VOICE: If you can hear me don’t listen to their lies. This is Persephone. I haven’t got much time, none us do. If you want to know the truth about the Hanso foundation, the real story is in the number. A lie (line) pulled tight enough will always snap under the breaking strain. Use this password on their site… BREAKING STRAIN! They’re coming!

As chief legal officer, I would like to remind you that to make threats against me and my colleagues, or any representative of the Widmore Corp. or Paik-Heavy Industries then these acts are criminal.
