Orientation

108 minutes

Locke finds a film. A 16mm reel hidden in the bunker. He plays it. A man appears on screen: Dr. Marvin Candle. Welcome to Station 3 — the Swan. DHARMA Initiative.

The film explains everything. An electromagnetic incident. A protocol. Every 108 minutes, enter the code and push the button. Never miss. The film cuts off there. No context. No ending.

Don’t forget — the world needs saving

Every 108 minutes, the Numbers must be entered. Do not let the countdown reach zero.

Jack refuses to believe it. It's an experiment. A psychological test. Locke insists: what if it's real? The timer approaches zero. Jack pushes. Just in case. Just in doubt. The cycle starts again. 108 minutes.
