I appologize for the lateness of this, since it might be a little irrelevant now, but Richard Drucker’s page at NBC.com has updated to include:

• On Monday, January 14, Drucker left a puzzle in Hana’s email box. When solved, an audio message from the man himself could be heard:

“After I came to the United States, I met Charles Deveaux in New York. We had much in common. He introduced me to his friends. They realized I was special, could hear things that weren’t there. Signals in space. In the air. They saw I was filled with the unthinking anger of an insecure child. They tried to use this against me, to convince me, but I saw them for what they were. And so I fled.

Perhaps you’re right, Hana. Perhaps it’s time to right old wrongs. Together, we can destroy their infrastructure, once and for all.”

Solve the puzzle and hear the message here!

• On Monday, January 21, Drucker pulled Hana into The Company’s mainframe, revealing that he is a digital program just like she is! Inside the mainframe, they plot to destroy The Company’s computer system but their activities are detected.

• Richard Drucker is no more! While infiltrating The Company’s mainframe, both Drucker and Hana were killed by Elle when she blew up the computer system. In the end, their fight against The Company was lost.

I’m still a firm believer that Drucker and Hana are “alive” and well on a hard disk owned by The Company. Only time will tell. The real question is, how was Drucker involved with The Company?

Dun-dun-duuuuun!?

Only the best deserves the interrobang, and this GN can take a big slice of cake anyday. It is rare that we get a continuous story in the GNs and it is certainly a special occasion when they are not denoted with a “Part X” in the title. I’m feeling a twinge of excitement and anticipation as it would appear that the ARG and GN are becoming more entwined. Let’s break it down:

The character interactions and dialogue is still mildly gag-inducing, but that has never been the reason why I enjoyed Heroes (nor the reason why I read Harry Potter books). With this GN, the setting is officially confirmed to be post-volume two, so my jab at the Haitian conundrum in my last commentary still stands. If I’m following it correctly, here’s the timeline:

1. Micah directs Hana’s attention to Drucker (ARG)
2. Hana sends a friend out to find Drucker (GN)
3. The company finds Matt
4. We don’t know what happens to Hana’s liaison but Bob gets to Bhutan and makes quick work of Goose
5. Bob gets Goose’s laptop
6. Drucker attempts to stop access his mainframe
7. Bob has Matt protect the mainframe by removing viruses
8. Matt notices two files that suddenly appears on the mainframe
9. Elle calls papa and operation Matrix effect starts

Drucker’s page at NBC has updated with the following:

In the January 7 graphic novel, a shocking revelation came to light… the man we thought was Richard Drucker was actually his personal pilot, Goose Hampton. The real Richard Drucker died in a plane crash years ago.

On January 10, someone sent Hana a handwritten message expressing grave concern over Goose’s death and warning Hana not to base any action against The Company on revenge. But if Drucker is dead how could he have sent that note? Stay tuned!

So, I guess when Goose told Bob Drucker ‘disappeared’ after their plane crash, he really meant he died. Of course, it’s possible that Goose didn’t know.

Who sent Hana that message? Is Drucker a ghost in the machine just like his niece, Hana?

Thanks to ManCold08 for the email… This is a big update!
