Hiros Blog
Erste Erwähnung:	September 25, 2006
[1]

Hiros Blog ist ein WeBlog, der von Hiro Nakamura geschrieben wird.

Über

Hiros Blog wird direkt auf NBC.com gehostet. Die meisten Einträge geben an, dass sie "automatisch übersetzt von: Yamagato Software" sind.

Hiros Blog-Einträge sind nach der Sternzeit datiert. Da Hiro durch die Zeit reist, verändern sich die Sternenzeiten, um seine aktuelle Zeit wiederzugeben, gelegentlich erscheinen Einträge für den Leser so "in Unordnung" geraten zu sein. Zum Beispiel, als er aus der Vergangenheit schrieb, während er in Midland, Texas während der Ereignisse in Sechs Monate zuvor war, erschien dieser Eintrag chronologisch an erster Stelle im Weblog und der Eintrag vom 12. März, der gepostet wurde, nachdem Hiro und Ando in die Zukunft teleportierten, ist mit "Sternzeit 3000.0" gekennzeichnet.

Hiros Blog macht häufig Referenzen an Comics (einschließlich derer von Marvel und DC, Star Trek, Star Wars, Rollenspiele und Animes.

Am 9. März wurde ein Eintrag von Yamagato Industires gepostet, der jede Verbindung zu Hiro dementierte, und der frühere Inhalt wurde "entfernt". In Wirklichkeit sind die Einträge immer noch durch direkte Links erreichbar, aber sie sind nicht länger mit aktuellen Beiträgen verlinkt.

Obwohl Hiros Blog die Heroes 360 Erfahrung vordatiert und ursprünglich kein Teil davon sein sollte, begannen spätere Einträge, sich in die Ereignisse von Heroes Evolutions einzufügen. Im Besonderen postet Hiro in seinem Eintrag vom 12. März eine primatechpaper.com E-Mail Adresse.

The following posts have been made by users other than Hiro Nakamura:

• November 14, 2006 by Admin -- Welcome

  The post promises Blog hosting and auto-translation by Yamagato is coming soon.

• März 9, 2007 by Yamagato Industries -- Notice from Yamagato Industries

  The post, which appeared after Hiro and Ando traveled to the future in Parasit, announces that in light of the explosion on 8. November, Yamagato is shutting the Blog down. They also disclaim any connection to Hiro Nakamura.

Gebunden von Tod und Glück

On März 12, 2007--after the post by Yamagato disclaiming any connection to Hiro, another post appeared, stardated 3000. The cryptic post, originally attributed to "Hiro Nakamura", but later changed to "Jotaro Kujo", was titled "Bound by Death and Luck":

Sending an email to time@primatechpaper.com elicits the following response:

The primary keys to the riddle are the title and the phrases "In simple times, we used a courier to tell truth" and "I grow weary of hiding on the 15". In Japan, the number "4" is considered unlucky because it sounds like the word for "death", while the number "7" is considered lucky for a number of reasons, including the Seven Lucky Gods. Arranging the post in a monospace font like Courier, 47 characters wide ("bound by death and luck"), and highlighting the fifteenth letter of each line reveals the following message:

The hidden message reads "flower,contact me.kaiton@primatechpaper.com". "Hana" is the Japanese word for "flower".

Sending an email to kaiton@primatechpaper.com elicits the following response from "Kaito Nakamura":

An Blume

On März 29, Hiro (posting again as Jotaro Kujo) made the following post, titled "To Flower" and stardated 12288.0:

"Flower" again refers to Hana, for whom the encrypted message is meant.

The first step to solve the coded message is contained in the instruction "Use one part-time worker at a time and for every dollar, add 3000." That the Blog post is "Auto-Translated by: Yamagato Software" suggests that the original Japanese is key to understanding the clues. Japanese for "part-time worker" is baito, which could alternatively be translated to English as "byte". A "dollar" is colloquially "8 bits", which Mai also be rendered as "byte". Hence, the instruction Mai be reinterpreted as: "Use one byte at a time and for every byte, add 3000." Splitting the message into bytes means grouping every eight digits together.

The second step is to note that the post's stardate, 12288, is significantly larger than the previous post's stardate, which was 3000. In hexadecimal, the number 12,288 is represented as "3000"; this indicates that each eight-digit binary byte must first be converted to hexadecimal before adding 3000 to each. The result in hexadecimal is as follows:

3044 3075 3044 3046 304F 3084 304F 3048
3057 3075 3057 3046 3061 3084 3061 3048

3057 3046 3057 3048 3044 3084 3044 304A
3057 3048 3044 304A 306F 3086 3057 304A
304F 3042 304F 3086 3057 3086 304D 3048

304F 3086 304D 3086 3061 3075 306F 3084
304D 3086 304D 3084 3057 304A 306F 3046
304D 3084 304F 3084 306F 3084 3044 304A
306F 306C 304D 3075 3044 304A 3061 304A
304F 3084 304F 3046 306F 3046 3057 304A
304D 3075 306F 306C 305D 3084 3053 3084
304F 3046 304F 306C 3053 3084 3061 3084

In Unicode, hexadecimal values between 3040 and 309F represent Japanese hiragana characters. Converting these 4-digit hex values into the Unicode text equivalent returns the following set of Japanese hiragana:

い ふ い う く や く え
し ふ し う ち や ち え
き ふ き う く え き う
く ふ く あ き う く あ
く ぬ く あ こ や こ え
こ ぬ そ あ そ や そ え
し う し え い や い お
し え い お は ゆ し お
く あ く ゆ し ゆ き え
そ あ し え い ゆ し ゆ
は ぬ い ふ き え そ ぬ
い お は や そ ぬ そ ふ
い ぬ は ぬ そ ふ こ ふ
し ぬ い ぬ こ ふ ち ぬ
し え い あ し ゆ そ や
は ふ は う ち ぬ ち ふ
く ゆ き ゆ ち ふ は や
き ゆ き や し お は う
き や く や は や い お
は ぬ き ふ い お ち お
く や く う は う し お
き ふ は ぬ そ や こ や
く う く ぬ こ や ち や

The next clue states that the "key is on the key." In other words, the key to the puzzle is on the keys of a keyboard. Hiragana characters can be typed on a standard keyboard using the JIS keyboard layout:

E 2 E 4 H 7 H 5
D 2 D 4 A 7 A 5
G 2 G 4 H 5 G 4
H 2 H 3 G 4 H 3
H 1 H 3 B 7 B 5
B 1 C 3 C 7 C 5
D 4 D 5 E 7 E 6
D 5 E 6 F 8 D 6
H 3 H 8 D 8 G 5
C 3 D 5 E 8 D 8
F 1 E 2 G 5 C 1
E 6 F 7 C 1 C 2
E 1 F 1 C 2 B 2
D 1 E 1 B 2 A 1
D 5 E 3 D 8 C 7
F 2 F 4 A 1 A 2
H 8 G 8 A 2 F 7
G 8 G 7 D 6 F 4
G 7 H 7 F 7 E 6
F 1 G 2 E 6 A 6
H 7 H 4 F 4 D 6
G 2 F 1 C 7 B 7
H 4 H 1 B 7 A 7

The clue to the meaning of these symbols is in the first line of the post: "I have a game for you". Only sixteen characters appear: the letters A through H, and the numbers 1 through 8. Additionally, the characters alternate between numbers and letters, meaning the characters can be paired into combinations of a number and a letter. These 2-digit codes represent a coordinate system for a standard 64-square chessboard. Combining every two pairs together gives a complete chess move in simplified Portable Game Notation:

E2-E4 H7-H5 
D2-D4 A7-A5 
G2-G4 H5-G4 
H2-H3 G4-H3 
H1-H3 B7-B5
B1-C3 C7-C5 
D4-D5 E7-E6 
D5-E6 F8-D6 
H3-H8 D8-G5 
C3-D5 E8-D8
F1-E2 G5-C1 
E6-F7 C1-C2 
E1-F1 C2-B2 
D1-E1 B2-A1
D5-E3 D8-C7
F2-F4 A1-A2 
H8-G8 A2-F7 
G8-G7 D6-F4 
G7-H7 F7-E6 
F1-G2 E6-A6
H7-H4 F4-D6 
G2-F1 C7-B7 
H4-H1 B7-A7

When the moves for the chess game are completed, the remaining pieces spell out the letters D L. Thus, the final clue "A picture is 5" is solved. The Japanese character for 5 is the word "go" which also means "be clear", which changes the meaning to "A picture is clear."

Previous posts gave gave clues leading to an e-mail address at primatechpaper.com, and Kaito's had his last initial. Using this information to send an e-mail to dlh@primatechpaper.com returns the following reply:

Hana,

I must minimize communications now as I discovered there is a traitor
among us. I hope to find him or her and shut the traitor down.

If you need to reach me, you can find me at 215 Reed St. #7, New York,
New York 10010.

As always, thank you for your help and please tell your partner,
"karadanikiotsuketekudasai".

For Charlie,
Hiro

P.S. Tell D.L. that he needs to get new clothes (^o^) ======

According to the author's biography in 9th Wonders!, this is the address of Isaac's apartment. "Karada ni kiotsukete kudasai" means "Take care of yourself".

Letze Nachricht

On April 23, Hiro (posting again as Jotaro Kujo) made the following post, titled "Final Message" and stardated 27288.0:

In contrast to previous puzzles, the text of this puzzle is very short. And, thus its solution appears to have been originally by force. There could be many ways to arrive at this solution.

Noting that most puzzles have been auto-translated from Japanese using Yamagato software, reversing the translation helps to find a solution.

Japanese for mask is kamen, which also means disguise. So like in the previous posts, we must find out what disguised name Hiro is using and e-mail primatechpaper.

The next part of the sentence is bound by fortune. Translating fortune to Japanese, we get un, which also means luck.

There is a previous Blog entry called Bound By Death and Luck, and it contains only one row with the word death (death row):

So it's someone who's very close/familiar to Hiro, and someone who was on death row whose ailment is invisible (i.e. a brain tumor). Thus, the mask/e-mail name is Charlie's.

Also note that April 24, the day after the entry was posted, is Charlie's birthday.

Previous posts gave clues leading to e-mail addresses at primatechpaper.com, and Kaito's and D.L.'s had their last initial.

Using this information to send an e-mail to charliea@primatechpaper.com returns the following reply:

As explained in the episode Five Years Gone, Hiro planned to go back in time to Oktober 4, 2006 and tell Peter to save Claire when writing this message. He assumed that this action would change his timeline completely, and thus this would be his Final Message.

After Five Years Gone aired, Hiros Blog was changed back to the regular timeline.

• Stardate: Welcome

  Hiros Blog has been cleared and now has this message:

 	Captain's Log: Stardate 

Anmerkungen

• According to Oliver Grigsby, Hiros Blog is a collaboration between Masi Oka and Aron Coleite[2].
• The stardates Hiro uses cannot be accurate using either the original or the Next Generation stardate systems, as those systems assign stardate 0000 to dates in the twenty-third and twenty-fourth century respectively. For example, Hiro's März 12th "future" entry is marked stardate 3000.0. Under the original system, this would be Juni 9, 2266; under the Next Generation system, this would be Mai 24. 2325. They do seem to be internally consistent, however. Hiros Oktober 4th posts are listed as "stardate 1739.1" and "stardate 1745.5"; under the original Star Trek system, both of these stardates convert to the same calendar day: Dezember 21, 2265.
• Hiros entry "Kitty Pride" misspells the name of Kitty Pryde from Marvel's X-Men.
• To suggest that Hana's partner understands Japanese, in addition to the email addresses listed under the domain primatechpaper.com, would indicate that Hana's partner is associated with die Firma. Her partner Mai be Mr. Bennet--in Five Years Gone, Hana partners with him to help weiterentwickelte Menschen on the lam.
• The alias of Jotaro Kujo relates to the title character of the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Jotaro (or JoJo), like Hiro, can manipulate and stop time.
