As you’ve no doubt surmised, the demise of the Dharma Initiative was a ruse to re-establish a layer of secrecy for the security of the project. You are currently located in Station 7, or “The Door,” and will be for the next 432 days. Station 7 is part of a defensive strategy developed in response to the Hostiles. Station 7 was constructed around a unique pocket of negative mass, a source of electromagnetic energy that connects to a similar pocket on The Island. When stable, this connection allows objects to travel instantly from one point to another. It is of the utmost importance that this be prevented at all costs. To achieve this, the following protocol has been observed: Every 108 minutes, the button must be pushed. From the moment the alarm sounds, you will have 4 minutes to enter the code into the computer. Do not attempt to use the computer for anything other than the entering of the code. This is its only function. You may be tempted to use the computer for communication. However, this is strictly forbidden, and could compromise the security of the project. Once the code is entered, Station 7 will lose power for 4 minutes. If you fail to enter the code in a timely fashion, you will enable an incursion on this Station by the Hostiles. Such an incursion must be repelled by any means necessary. For that purpose, an extensive arsenal has been provided for you. Congratulations. Until your replacement arrives, our fate is in your hands. On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso, Hans Van Eeghan and all of us here at the Dharma Initiative, thank you. Namaste. And… good luck.

The aborted Station 7 on The Island, now under Hostile control:



Welcome to Station 7, a podcast based here at losttv-forum.com. Station 7 is the only podcast originating from an active station of the Dharma Initiative. Its purpose is to make contact with other Dharma recruits, or friendly allies, to analyze "Lost" in order to figure out the truth of what is happening in both the show and the world around us. Because, as Desmond would say, "It's all real, bruthah!"

Back in 2008, many Lost fans participated in the "Dharma Wants You" alternate reality game (ARG), and joined the Dharma Initiative. Those who did, received an ID card similar to this one:



What many didn't realize at the time, is that it wasn't just a game. The Dharma Initiative really exists, and an unknown number of recruits, myself among them, have been activated and given assignments. I was assigned to an off-island station, Station 7. My first day in the station was on February 3rd, 2009.

Sgt. Draino in Station 7:

More:

Since my tour began, I have had no further communication from the Dharma Initiative, and my patience has run thin. Consequently, I have decided to violate protocol, and reach out to other recruits to see if we can collectively get some answers. I will be using the computer system in the station to link in via talkshoe to try and make contact with my fellow recruits, and any other friendlies who can offer input.

Here is where to go:

It is referenced on the Blast Door Map. That, of course, would be the on-island end of Station 7, which was aborted due to Hostile interference. I am in the off-island end.
