Perhaps it's got something to do with the strange symbol that's been added to the end of the vids in the bowling alley?

I was in the theatre in the Eu home again, I went into the watchmen auditorium, the video didn't come on.
A voice just said "alphazone" repeatedly.
Now it's just beeping??
The voice sounded kind of like steven Hawking's computer thingy
The voice returned, I'm not sure anymore if it's saying alphazone, it's a bit unclear.

A few of you might have seen a strange photograph exclusively revealed on TheSixthAxis recently. Something that looked like ladders, a maintenance shaft, perhaps?
The eagle eyed amongst you might also have seen a strange white image instead of the usual website. Strange goings on indeed, and our anonymous source, codenamed Jess, has confirmed to us that the images are related to Home.
We can also confirm that we’ll be getting more such images over the next few weeks. Stay focused…

After that he ran to the manhole cover and vanished, no PDA access or anything. I was right behind him.

Both had the same suffix. ELITE_ap1 & THOM_ap1.

The whooshing sound has been localized and it's not just a whooshing sound. Embedded in that sound is a rapid thumping sound. Once localized it sounds more like a train than a plane. It sounds more high-tech than a regular train too. I would say it sound more like an Air Train... I believe we all refer to it here as THE MONORAIL!
