Timeline
(in chronological order)
Chapter 1: Find her...
February 12
- Ariadne Wakes up in a labyrinth carved out of a corn field in South Africa.
February 29
- Packages began arriving numerous people in many countries
- including the reference to Findthelostring.com, which showed the text:
- Ariadne... hang in there, my guys are working on the site as we speak!
- I had to call in a lot of favors to get something built so quickly... but trust me, you're going to love it, it's exactly what you need. I'll get the guys to work all weekend on it, it should be up first thing Monday morning. Get the video ready, I'm sure someone will recognize you... -- Kai
March 3
- Ariadne is found on Findthelostring.com (which went live today)
- Ariadne: Meet Kai
- She posts the video Kai sent her, where he discusses the new site he's working on for her.
- She recounts her experience waking up Feb 12. The doctors' analysis showed there was nothing wrong with her, other than an extremely rare amnesia, and a body in excellent olympic-calibur condition. They called her Ariadne due to where she was found, and she was released from the hospital. She only had somewhere to go thanks to Kai.
- She met Kai in hospital (having broken his toe). They exchanged their stories, and Kai attached himself to her by calling himself her "guardian angel". he's very technically minded, so took her out exploring the city and various online venues trying to jog some of her memory, to no effect. He paid for their hospital stay, and bought her her laptop.
- For three weeks a dream has been haunting her. In the first half, she's reliving the moments around when she awoke in the labyrinth, struggling to remove a pair of goggles and stand. The second half is different - six goggles surround her, and as she picks them up, she hears voices in other languages, yet feels increasingly comfortable and sure. She feels it's a message and something deep downin her knows more.
- An image of he clothes she awoke in - opaque goggles and a 'weird stretchy workout thing'.
- An image of the tattoo on her arm, which reads: trovu la ringon perditan. She asks for email help, sent to ariadnelost(at)gmail.com.
- A photo from within a corn maze / labyrinth, with pproximate gps coordinates of the location, just outside Johannesburg. A popular tourist attraction, but she woke on a day with no tours. The managers think it may have just been a prank.
- A video blog where Ariadne explains her situation. Key points: After waking up blindfolded in a corn field (a labyrinth) just outside Johannesburg, doctors say she has - Functional Focal Retrograde Amnesia. She has a tattoo on her arm that reads "trovu la ringon perditan", Esperanto for "find the lost ring". There's absolutely no leads as to her identity or history, friends or family. She's in top physical condition, that of an 'olympic champion'.
Chapter 2: Find them...
March 3
- Markus is found
- via a flickr photo quoting his tattoo, which leads to his profile.
- Meihui is found
- via a truveo video
- Diego is found
- on Hi5, as well as his google video
- Noriko is found
- on youtube, and her blog that links to it
- Markus is thankful for some help, and wants to know how it's known his tattoo is in Esperanto.
- She wonders if she has family somewhere, and she describes the labyrinth she awoke in as much larger than Markus's, with 11 loops around it.
- She has connected with Diego, both knowing a bit of each others' languages (english and spanish)
- He confirms he's contacted Ariadne, and describes his experience waking up: In Buenos Ares, with a black blindfold, black jogging suit, and white t-shirt.
- Tells that he was blindfolded and awokes in a maze. Says he was wearing white shorts and a narrow white t-shirt.
- Thinks that it's crazy that so many people have the same tattoo and appeared like him. Asked chippy if she saw anything odd on February 12th cause she lives somewhere near him.

March 4
- A message to her readers - her life's weird, but she's loving that has so many new friends helping her now. Best theory proposed: she's an olympian, as are the other six people in similar situations as herself. She feels the net step is to find a connection between the "Lost Ring" and the Olympics, starting here. She also made a general to-do list, including info about how she's practicing T'ai Chi Ch'uan (and is quite skilled at it, picking it up instantly) - 108 forms. She links her instant skill with "kinesthetic memory" - muscle memory.
- She discusses the fact that she's been connected with the other 6 people like her - Markus, Noriko, MeiHui, Diego, Lucie, and Renata - all with amnesia, waking up a month ago in a labyrinth, tattooed. Larissa described Renata's situation - it happened our years ago for her, but had since disappeared.

- Eli Hunt prepares a lecture he will give in Cardif as announced in an email (full text).

- She assumes that Eli Hunt knows more about "the lost ring" and she hopes that we can make him talk.
