Comic Con: Wednesday Night Post 3
There were several items i purchased tonight relating to lost. Some of these items are really fascinating and relate somewhat with TLE. At the booth that had the official lost playing cards at it... they also had a special 6 pack of cards available dealing with DHARMA (hence the TLE connection) The cards in the packs are identical according to the lady that worked there... however there was a special 7th card in a few of the packs... i decided to be safe and buy two packs and it paid off becuase in the second pack i got the special card which was a varient of the 4th out of 6 cards. I'll post the pictures of each card below as well as a transcript of what the card says:
Cards 1 and 2... card one is readble so no transcript, card 2 says "Welcome. I'm Dr. Marvin Candle, and these are the ORIENTATION FLASH CARDS for Station 3. These flash cards will support the coordinating film prepared for your station. In this packet, we will review the history of the Dharma Initiative, as well as review the simple set of instructions for how you and your partner will fulfill the responsibilities associated with this station.
Card's 3 and 4. Card 3 states "The dharma initiative was created in 1970 as a brainchild of Gerald and Karen DeGroot, two doctoral candidates at the university of Michigan. The DeGroots imagined a large scale communal research compound where scientists could pursue research in Meterology, Psychology, Parapsychology, Zoology, Electormagnetism, and Utopian Social Dynamic *the card is cut here and continues with* Danish industrialist and munitions magnate, Alvar Hanso, whose financial backing made their dream of a multi-purpose social science research facility a reality.
Card 4 states *this is the special card 4* "Hello, I'm Dr. Mark Wickmund (So that's how we spell it folks!). The pearl is a monitoring station where the activities of participants in Dharma initiative projects can be observed and recorded. Your tour of duty will last 3 weeks, and during this time you and your partner will observe a psychological experiment in progress. Your duty is to observe team members at another station on the island. These team members are not aware that they are under surveillance or that they are the subjects of an experiment. Working in 8 hour shifts, you and your partner will record everything you observe in the notebooks we provided. What is the nature of the experiment you might ask? What do the subjects believe they are accomplishingas they struggle to fulfill their tasks? All you need to know is that subjects believe their job is of the utmost importance. Remember, everything that occurs, no matter how minute or seemingly unimportant, must be recorded. Each time a notebook is filled with the fruits of your diligent observation, *words are cut off* container. Simple place the container in the pneumatic tube, and presto, it will be transported directly to us. At the end of your shift, proceed to the Pala Ferry which will...*end of card"
Cards 5 and 6. Both are legible.
Card's 4 (the real one not special) and the casing for the cards. Card 4 reads "You and your partner are currently located in Station 3, or the swan, where you will be for the next 540 days. Station 3 waas originally constructed as a laboratory where scientists could work to understand the unique electromagnetic fluctuations emanating from this sector of the island. Not long after, the experiments began, however, there was an incident, and since that time, the following procedure 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 microcomputer processor....*words coffee stained out* induction into the program. When the alarm sounds, either you or your partner must input the code. It is higly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. in this manner, you will stay fresh and alert, but mostl improtant, when the alarm sounds, the code be entered correctly and in a timely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer for any... *end of the card*
When the cards are flipped onto their backs and placed together this image is formed:
