I tried all of their codenames plust other key words seen in the novels centering around the Lonestar files. I think the King Dragon thing is going to be as far as it goes with passwords - Although, I am interested in the 2nd postcard. Where's Dallas?
I'm not convinced that the third code is hidden in those documents - If I were running the ARG, I wouldn't put two codes in the same place. I'd keep you all hanging on for a day or a week before giving away the third code

(b. 2879 BCE), mythological founder of the kingdoms of Vietnam and southern China. Lac Long Quan is the mythological descendant of Than Nong (Shen Nong in Chinese) and the founder of the first Vietnamese kingdom, which received the name Van Lang. His name means the dragon (long) king or chief (quan) of the Lac family or clan. According to legend, Shen Nong sent his greatgreat grandson, King De Minh (De Ming in Chinese), on an inspection tour of south China. Arriving at the Wu Ling Mountains in Hunan, De Minh married an immortal woman and sired several sons. Loc Tuc, one of his younger sons, ruled over the south of China under the title of King Duong Vuong. His land was called Xich Quy.
In 2879 BCE, Loc Tuc's son, Lac Long Quan, was born. He too married an immortal woman, Au Co, who gave birth to a pouch containing one hundred eggs, producing one hundred children. Legend has it that after he succeeded his father to the throne of Xich Quy, he told his wife that their marriage could not last because he was of the dragon race and therefore belonged to the water, whereas she, an immortal, belonged to the mountains. He suggested that she take fifty of their children and establish them in the mountains, while he would live on the coastal plains with the other fifty. He then sent one of his children to rule over a southern part of his kingdom, in a country called Van Lang (Vietnam). That son's descendants were known as the Hung kings. There were eighteen in all, and they ruled from approximately 2879 BCE to 258 BCE.
In Vietnamese mythology, Au Co was an immortal fairy who married a dragon, their hundred children being the ancestors of the Vietnam people.
Au Co is honored as the mother of Vietnam civilization. Au Co was a young, beautiful fairy goddess that lived high in the mountains. She traveled to heal those who suffered because she was skillful in medicine and had a sympathetic heart.
One day she was frightened by a monster and turned into a crane to fly away, Lac Long Quan, a dragon king from the sea saw her, grabbed a rock and killed the monster. Au Co, stopped to see who helped her, she turned back into a fairy and they fell in love instantly.
She bore 100 children around 2900 BC, however, despite their lover, she desired to be in the mountains again and he yearned for the sea. They separated, each taking 50 children all boys. Au Co settled in Vietnam because she was amazed by the land and raised 50 young, intelligent, strong leaders, latter known as the Hung Kings.
Importance of Au Co
This legendary story is very important to many Vietnamese people for numerous reasons. Some interpret the story to imply a strong national unity and cultural tolerance. Other women and historians interpret the story to mean that matriarchal societies did exist and are equal to that of patriarchal societies. Vietnamese women view her as a heroine and as a symbol to fight for their nation and their rights.
Okay, the images at Hana's blog have changed slightly....her hands have gone from the folder pic and now, instead of cycling through, you have to click the right area of the folder to load the images.
The postcard image (photo3) has also changed - it only shows one card now. The part that can no longer be seen had the "hello dad" message on it.
The original images are available at Herobase Central - click on the images link.
On the left is the original folder image, on the right is the new one.
I've tried:
Heyoon (and variations on spelling of that name)
Heyoon44
Lone S
Amarillo and Austin Lone S
None of those.
Heyoon comes from the first two letters of each of the first three lines of the postcard.
From the first post card
He yo on Au Co ma
On the second post card "pr" is written further to the left than the start of the other lines
He yo on Au Co ma pr
- mapr? Map reference? I dunno.
I also tried searching "Cheers, Laredo" ....there IS a Cheers cocktail bar in Laredo, TX....but then, there's a Cheers bar EVERYWHERE these days!
I'm running out of ideas here - everything I find seems to be a dead end...am I missing something obvious?
Edit: I've just discovered there's a place called Duong Au Co in Hanoi
Running by the pagoda is a busy commercial street, packed with retailers of wooden furniture and consumer goods.
The hustle and bustle betrays nothing of the street’s origins as a marshy scrubland.
In 1865, there was nothing but a village to mark the area. The French colonialists, however, named the village road Provincial Road No.16, and things began to happen, as a rustic hamlet became a stopping point on an increasingly busy road.
In 1955, the Saigon administration renamed the road Lac Long Quan Street. The long two-way street runs from Tan Hoa Street in District 11 to Cach Mang Thang Tam in Tan Binh District.
That's probably nothing, and so's this.
I was whizzing around Google Earth...type in Hanoi, then Duong when I realised that user flags are posted via bbs.keyhole.com
Sound familiar?
So I googled "talent keyhole"...
Turns out "Handle via talent keyhole control system only" is quite a common stamp on top secret satellite imagery...keyhole is a "known" security codeword for satellite imagery, so Google Earth using keyhole.com is nothing more than an obvious choice.
*sigh* so many dead ends.
The problem is, there's TOO MUCH INFORMATION in these files! So much that could be seen as clues....ARGH! Info Overload!
"Hello Dad, your son advises you to bet on Lone Star to win over Au Co in the 11th. Congratulations on your marriage. Cheers, Kinh Hung"
So I googled "Lone Star Brooklyn" and got
Lone Star Inc
609 5th Ave # 1010
New York, NY 10017, USA
(212) 307-6366
Nothing there, and no web site I can see...and I've already tried combinations of previous stuff with brooklyn.
Lone Star in Vietnamese is ngôi sao cô đon - and no, that doesn't work. Even with the accented characters replaced with normal ones
Sorry if I'm posting a lot, but if I get all my musings in one place, it might inspire somebody to come up with the answer!
Edit: Of course, it's possible that the third code isn't referenced in these images at all....think about it....the blog only says it could contain a lead to ONE of the codes, not to all of them. The recent changes could just be extra clues to the second code because they didn't expect someone to guess it so quickly!
But then again, NBC's servers are logging our correct guesses, so the ARG team KNEW we'd got the second code BEFORE they changed the pics on Hana's site.
I just watched all that...as they started, I started doing the same things....I couldn't keep up with those guys they were so FAST.
It was an incredible thing to watch.....an incredible amount of posts!
Lots of missing letters. I wonder if they all add up to be something...
Look up, buckaroo, it's all solved.
From Youtube to Flickr, boat registration number -111 that was the link to find CLSx172.
Back to square 1...preachtim=primatech, sonica=casino, havicer=archive. Logging into the linderman archive with SWORD as the pass reveals a pic with binary on. Logging in with Vietnam reveals another and going in to corinthian site reveals another. Decoded, it reads, "Congratulations, you have found a very important piece of information: 2007:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a3e:0270:7234" That's the 3rd code
As we know, the second code is the name that "King Dragon" is an abbreviated translation of. All three codes, boom.
Code 1: CLSx172
Code 2: Lac Long Quan
Code 3: 2007:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a3e:0270:7234
