Mr. Bennet gives Mohinder a business card with Primatech Paper Co.'s website and phone number.

link

primatechpaper.com is the website of the Primatech Paper Company.

As part of the Heroes 360 Experience, a real-world version of the website can be "hacked" to uncover files that reveal further information on the covert activities of the organization behind Primatech Paper.

About

Godsend

The website address and the phone number (1-800-PRIMA16) appear on a business card that Mr. Bennet gives to Mohinder Suresh. He claims there is an access code on the back of the card.

Heroes 360

To the unsuspecting public, the website appears to be a simple company profile of the Primatech Paper Co., with a simple Job Opportunities inquiry section.

Part 1: Job Application

Registration...

Texting APPLY to 46622 will send the user this text message in return:

Go to www.primatechpaper.com on your PC. Enter MT36. To get more messages like these reply Y.

Texting PAPER to 46622 will send the user this text message in return:

Would you like to hear more about Primatech Opportunities via text message? Reply YES now.

Replying Y or YES will result in the following text message:

You’ll be hearing from me again soon. We have a lot to do together.

To use the registration system:

  1. Call the phone number 1-800-PRIMA16 (1-800-774-6216)
  2. At the main menu, select option 3 (Personnel) and listen to the message. At this point, the user is given a passcode, MT36, and given the opportunity to enter a cell phone number to receive text messages.
  3. Visit the primatechpaper.com web site
  4. Click the "Jobs" button (link)
  5. Enter the passcode
  6. Fill out the contact information form

An analysis of the page reveals that your answers to the 7 questions are evaluated to give you a code between 1 and 3. The algorithm used ranks every answer as either 1, 2, or 3, and then works out which one you answered most often. Thus it is a very basic form of personality test.

The answers are typed as follows:

Question Type 1 Type 2 Type 3
If you work at a store and see a woman steal a can of soup to feed her family, would you: Inform the store manager Pay for it yourself Ignore it
If you see a turtle lying upside-down on its shell in the middle of the road, you: Run over it Take it to safety Avoid it
How do you reach conclusions? Research Logic Emotion
How often do you put yourself above others? Only if it benefits me Always Never
Are you fueled by: Money Passion Routine
At a party, you are: An eavesdropper A gracious host The center of attention
In stressful situations, you react by: Emulating proven leaders Taking charge Avoiding it

Any type value can be obtained by simply selecting 4 or more answers in that type's column. It seems that "Type 1" would be most like Mr. Bennet's personality. "Type 2" represents a determined (but just) personality like Mohinder Suresh. "Type 3" represents a non-confrontational conformist personality.

Filling out the form will initiate an email like the following:

From: Primatech Paper <no-reply@primatechpaper.com>
Subject: Important Message from Primatech Paper

Thank you for your interest in Primatech Paper. We will be in contact once we evaluate your application.

... The Response

On January 25, 2007, people who submitted their applications received an email like the following:

Subject: Important Message from Primatech Paper

From: Primatech Paper <no-reply@primatechpaper.com>

Thank you for your interest in Primatech Paper and taking the time to complete our employee application.

The user then receives one of three types of responses, depending on the personality tests results:

Type 1:

We are always interested in unique individuals with special abilities to help us provide the best service to our many clients.

Type 2:

If the user chooses to have text (SMS) messages sent to them, they will also receive one of three text messages (UPDATE, TEXT, JOBS) depending on how they answered their application, thus making it easy to know which email they will receive:

Type 1:

Part 2: The Hacker

Once the applicant received email confirmation for the application, the applicant received a text message saying:

On January 29, 2007, after the airing of The Fix, those who applied to the website received the following email:

From: Primatech Paper <no-reply@primatechpaper.com>
Subject: more than paper... much more

Hana later made contact via text message with information on Sylar's password:

Did u get in to Sylar's file 2? I left u cluz how. If not, here's the pswrd: GGeh81zu. Not always going to b this ez.

The clues Hana is talking about are the differently colored letters on her Assignment Tracker page that, when put together, form GGeh81zu, Sylar's password.


On February 5, 2007, Hana once again contacted registered users with an additional password for Theodore Sprague's folder:

Via Text Message:

Get to know Ted, too: Go to http://www.primatechpaper.com and find the helix. Same place as before. Username: bennet / password: claire. Ted's code: TSntz14b. Remember: Username is always bennet.


On February 12, 2007, Hana once again contacted registered users with another additional password for Matt Parkman's folder:

Via Text Message:

On February 12, 2007, Hana also sent the following message containing Mr. Bennet's access code (42307#) to be entered when calling 1-800-PRIMA16 (1-800-774-6216):

Via Text Message:

Got Bennet's access code! Call 1-800-PRIMA16. Entr: 42307#. Tell em u r on 2 him. Just dn't say wht we're up 2. VMs may b mde public @ samantha48616e61.com

... Hacking Mr. Bennet's Tasks

After receiving Hana's message and returning to the site, a variation of the Symbol now appears superimposed on the Primatech Paper Co. logo.

Navigate to the PrimatechPaper.com About page and mouse over the Primatech logo (it will have the symbol mixed into the image). Clicking the logo brings up a prompt. Enter "bennet" as the user and "claire" as the password as directed and you are taken to an assignment tracker page with 4 available folder choices:

Folder Username Password Sex Enhanced Human
C001 bennet HGghx11a Female Hana Gitelman
C002 bennet MPggtn75x Male Matt Parkman
C003 bennet TSntz14b Male Theodore Sprague
C004 bennet GGeh81zu Male Gabriel Gray
  • The passwords start with the initials of the person about whom the profile in the folder is provided (as in, "HG" for Hana, "TS" for Theodore, and "GG" for Gabriel).
  • If the user accesses the folder and fails to enter the correct password, an access violation message is generated indicating the user's IP address is logged. The IP address displayed on the page does not match the user's actual IP address. It is unknown why the address displayed is incorrect, or if there is a pattern.
  • The characters in Mr. Bennet's files all have one element in common — they are known to have been marked by the AWI
  • On January 29, 2007, during the airing of The Fix while Claire and Zach are on Mr. Bennet's computer, Hana hacked into the viewers' computers on Heroes Interactive with the following message:

Want to try to get into his files too? Go to primatechpaper.com, find the helix hidden in the logo on the 'About us' page. Enter the user name bennet and password CLSx172. The password to get into my file is HGghx11a. Get 2 know me.

  • The password CLSx172 does not give the user access to the Assignment Tracker, and it is believed that the password CLSx172 was changed to claire.
  • On February 5, 2007, Hana released the password for Theodore Sprague

... Folder Contents

The first folder consists of a dossier for Hana, including several photos, Hana's Mossad psychological profile, and a medical diagram.

The second folder contains a dossier for Matt Parkman. Included are several photos and a medical chart. In the Research Documents tab on Matt's dossier is a file labeled "Scientific Studies", but it is marked as locked and is currently not clickable. The term "Broadman 41" on his medical chart refers to Brodmann's area 41 (aka Heschl's gyrus) of the brain - part of the primary auditory cortex. Interestingly, in addition to potentially being linked to telepathy, it also plays a part in auditory hallucinations in schizophrenics.

The third folder contains a dossier for Ted Sprague. Ted's dossier also includes a locked, unaccessible "Scientific Studies" file in the Research Documents tab.

In the fourth folder is a dossier for Sylar including a medical chart with GGeh81zu in the corner. This code can also be found on Hana's profile by combining all the blue letters in her text.

Promotional ad

Notes

  • The Heroes 360 promotional site should not be confused with primatechpaper.org, a parody-laden Heroes fansite.
  • The Careers page on http://www.primatechpaper.com/wap gives users the option of signing up for updates. Doing so redirects to this page.
  • The official Heroes site on NBC has an ad for Primatech paper promoting the toll free number 1-800-Prima16.


Trivia

Business Card
  • The questions asked of job applicants are similar to questions asked of replicants in the Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner. The questions are used to distinguish real humans from the artificially engineered humans by overloading their emotional response.
  • The domain primatechpaper.com was registered on October 31st, 2006. The registrant is listed as "Heroes", with Heroes writer and script co-ordinator Oliver Grigsby listed as the administrative contact. The website is hosted on the same server as NBC.com. As of January 10, 2007, the registrant was changed to General Electric Company, Internet Registrations.
