For pallet drop enter 2-4.

For station up-link enter 3-2.

For mainland communication enter 3-8.

For sonar access enter 5-6.

Has there been an incursion on this station by the Hostiles? If so, enter 7-7.

Or was that for plane drop? Or both?

how do you explain the blast door coming down when the food drop occurs? Is there a signaling device on the drop that sets it off? how would the losties know about it/know the right code and frequency?

I don’t think it was the Losties – not that I have a better explanation. I’d like to think that Dharma thinks things are still going on there, but that wouldn’t explain the lack of communication…

It could very well be that the Losties are dropping themselves food… we don’t really know where or when they’re going to end up… maybe it’s not all of them acting together. Who knows? One of them might end up in such a position to make the food drop. There was only one drop, right? So really it’s just that someone pushed the button once to make a food drop.

I think the time displacement is used purposefully to make the drops happen at certain times even when the rest of the initiative is preoccupied… or dead, whatever the case may be.

i think the food dropping then has something to do with the time displacement that was experience with the rocket faraday used…maybe the drop went through the wrong bearing and landed in the future…

Interesting theory, but just practically speaking, if the Losties were going to drop themselves food, how would they have access to the DHARMA food? Wouldn’t it be just regular food? And why not drop in some guns n ammo while they’re at it?
