First reference: Godsend

Primatechpaper.com is the real life website for the fictional Primatech Paper Co.

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.

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: 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 follwing 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

Subject: Important Message from Primatech Paper

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

Type 1:

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: Hana Gitelman Makes Contact

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

Hav u applied @ www.primatechpaper.com? Pswrd is MT36. Do this so we can strt wrking 2gether to bring ‘em all down.


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

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 username bennet and password claire. The password to
get into my file is HGghx11a. Get 2 know me.


Alternative 1: Users browsing on an Internet enabled cellular phone:

  1. Go to the "About Us" page of the Primatech Paper WAP site.
  2. Click on the small Primatech Logo and it redirects to this info page. The current message says:

I'm in and u shud b 2 Go online to Primatech.com when you get home. Find helix on About Us page. Username: bennet Password: claire. Get to know them thru me. HGghx11a. Talk again soon


Previous message found by submitting user's name and phone number on the mobile "Careers" page:

Trying to crack into this thing. I’ll let you know how when I do. Give me about a week.


Alternative 2: Users who signed up for text messaging will receive the following message:

I'm in & so r u. Go to primatechpaper.com, find helix, key to rabbit hole: Username: bennet Password: claire Get 2 know me: HGghx11a. Mre 2 come


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

Via Text message:

Get 2 kno Ted 2: Go 2 primatechpaper.com, find helix. Same place as b4. Usrnme: bennet Pwrd: claire. Ted's code: TSntz14b. Rembr: Usrnme always bennet

... 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     Male  
C003     Male  
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, and "GG" for Gabriel).
  • No information currently exists for folders 2 and 3. 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 two unknown folders have a Male shadow icon next to them. The two characters that have been marked by the AWI not listed here are Matt Parkman and Theodore Sprague.
  • 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.

... Folder Contents

The first folder consists of a dossier for Hana, including several photos, Hana's Mossad psychological profile, and a medical diagram. 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 Heroes360 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

  • 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.
