The crazed man had Locke tie up Genna. He lied and told him that Genna was dangerous so he wouldn't tie him up. Locke felt that he would have a better chance of getting them out of there than Genna. When he tied her up, he put a pocket knife in the front of her pants, then proceeded to lock her up in a storage room. Once she fiddled with the restraints, she finally got them off. She turned on the light to find that it was a pantry filled with food. She knocked herself out of the excitement and climbed up some shelves to get to a vent on the ceiling.

She found another vent leading to another room as she crawled through as quietly as possible. She carefully removed the vent and jumped down into the dark room. She opened the door slightly to make sure the coast was clear. When a little bit of light was shown in the room, she saw that it was another storage room, for guns. Without thinking twice, she walked farther down and grabbed a shotgun and some shells, then loading the weapon. She wasn't sure what this man was capable of, but she didn't want to take any chances to find out.

She walked out of the room very slowly, only walking across the wall. Only a couple feet down, she could hear Adonia and Jack's voice. Neither of them sounding happy or reasonable. As she saw the man of the hatch, she pointed her gun towards him, ready to defend herself. Walking stealthily towards, she, instead, hit him on the head with the butt of the gun; causing him to fire at the ceiling and fall to the floor. Jack ran over to him.

"Do not move." He demanded him.

"No, don't-" Locke said trying to stop Jack, who had a gun pointed at his head.

"Don't what?" Jack sounded hostile.

"He's not armed." Locke said in reasoning.

"He just had a gun pointed at your head." Jack shouted at Locke. Realizing who hit the man over the head, Adonia rushed over to Genna and hugged her.

"Are you alright?" She nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up." Adonia felt relieved despite the fact she had no idea what was going on or who this man was. The man looked up at the computer, now making static noises and smoke arising from the monitor.

"Oh, what did you do? What did you do?" He said in a shaky voice. Jack followed his eyes to the broken computer.

"We're all going to die." His voice filled with sincerity and seemingly truth. Everyone was now looking at the computer in confusion, yet they all believed him.

"We're all going to die." He repeated with sadness. He tried to stand, but Jack held him back down.

"I have to fix it." He insisted.

"What the hell's he talking about?" Jack asked aloud hoping Locke or Genna knew.

"Listen! If you do not let me up, we are all going to die."

"Stop moving, or I swear to God..." Jack said with force.

"Look at the wall!" The man demanded. Everyone looked up to find a dark metal box with five blocks on the front, 098|00 was written on the blocks. The number changed to 097|00.

"You see that? That's a timer and it's countin' down. I've gotta enter the code. I've gotta push the button." He tried to explain himself as quickly as possible.

"Or what?" Jack said not believing him.

"Jack, you should let him up." Locke asked still staring at the box.

"Don't tell me what to do! Or what? What's going to happen?" He then flipped the man around slightly to see him face.

"Do I know you?" The man on the ground asked. Everyone stared with curiosity, but Jack just knocked him back down, facing the ground.

"You got him?" He asked Genna, who was still pointing the gun towards them. Jack let the man up and he ran to the computer, Genna followed. He kept pressing the on/off switch, but nothing happened.

"Bastard." He said to the computer. The man started searching through his bookshelves frantically.

"Whatever you're looking for, maybe I can help." Locke insisted.

"Can you fix a computer?" He asked stopping his actions. Adonia noticed that his attire was different. He was wearing a very light brown jumpsuit of some sort with a white t-shirt poking through the top.

"Then you can't help me, can you?" He said as Locke denied the question. He resumed searching.

"Sayid can fix a computer." Genna suggested.

"Get him. Go and get Sayid." Locke said pointing at her. The man ran past her to search another area.

"Can you get back up that rope?" Jack asked.

"I won't have to. There's gotta be a front door in this place." She said directed towards the man.

"Down the corridor to the left. Be persistent, the wheel sticks." He said quickly as he kept looking through the books.

"Got ya." He said as he found a glass jar. Genna ran towards the corridor. Adonia started to follow, but Jack held his hand in front of her to stop her.

"She'll be okay. You should stay here." She reluctantly stood back to where she was. Everyone else followed the man to another room. Jack picked up the jar, directed his gun towards him, and demanded he told him how he got there. He spoke of a solo race around the world. His boat crashed into a reef and a man named Kelvin came. Kelvin was the man that brought him down there. This all taking place three years ago. The first thing Kelvin did was entering a code and press a button to stop a beeping noise. The only explanation the man got when he asked why he performed that act was, "Just savin' the world".

"So I started to press the button too and we saved the world together for a while, and that was lovely," he added sarcastically, "Then Kelvin died, and now here I am all alone. The end." His tone sounded very aggravated. As Jack handed him back the jar, the numbers changed again, 084|00. Jack walked away and started scolded Locke about his belief in the man.

"His word is all we've got, Jack." Locke told him. The man then told them to watch a film if they didn't want to "believe his word". They did as they were told and found the tape. Jack asked Locke what happened before he arrived with Adonia. Locke then explained and mentioned the man's name, Desmond. Adonia just sat by a window, in a booth. She curled her legs up to her chest and leaned her head back on the wall, trying to breathe. Locke and Jack just kept talking back and forth about whether to believe Desmond or not. Jack, of course, not believing a word he said.

When they finally started the film, Adonia walked over practically dragging her feet. Jack and Locke took their place a chair and Adonia just sat on the ground. The film introduced itself as The Dharma Initiative – 3 of 6 – Orientation- Station 3 – The Swan. An Asian man named Dr. Marvin Candle came onto the projection and began speaking of The Dharma Initiative. A program created in 1970 that worked with psychology and other sciences. They are currently in a station called The Swan. Whomever is in the program is to stay there for five hundred forty days. Apparently, the project was running smoothly until an incident happened. Without explaining the incident, he continued on about pressing a button every one hundred eight minutes. An alarm will sound and you are given four minutes to enter the code. As he began insisting on not using the computer for any other reason, the film skipped and he congratulating them. It was obvious that the film was over.

Locke reloaded the film and Jack questioned his motives, as usual. Adonia just rolled her eyes and walked away. Jack followed. Adonia explored around the hatch as Jack went to speak to Desmond. She really wanted to get out of this place and find Genna. She also didn't want to go against Jack's wishes. She respected him and his choices, most of the time.

The power went off causing Adonia to jump. She hurried back to Jack and Desmond. He was hoping he fixed the computer, turned it on, and it blew the fuse. Yellow emergency lights came on soon after.

"What happened?" Locke asked as he came into the room. Desmond was breathing heavily.

"It's over." He said looking at them.

"What do you mean 'it's over'?" Locke shouted to him as Desmond ran out of the room. Jack ran out of the room. Adonia looked at the metal box and saw that a good bit of time has passed. 048|00. Only forty-four minutes until it starts beeping and the panicking really begins.

Locke left to follow Desmond.

"Wh-what are you doing? Are you leaving?" Locke asked as Desmond gathered food in a backpack. Without answering, he went to another room and grabbed a syringe gun with little medicine bottles.

"We can-we can fix the computer. Sayid is coming." Locke said trying to keep him from leaving.

"Give him my best." Desmond said as he ran out of the room. Adonia caught up with the rest of the men. Locke tried so hard to convince Desmond to stay. He opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Locke asked disappointed.

"As far as I can run, brother." Desmond then proceeded to shut the door behind him. Jack went to the door to open it with Adonia close behind. He didn't believe any of this was real and refused to stay behind.

"Jack, please, don't leave me here." Locke asked sincerely.

"Goodbye, John. You're on your own now." Jack closed to door, now leaving Locke all alone.

After a while, Locke heard a familiar voice.

"John?" It was Genna. Hurley and Sayid entered the room soon after, taking in their surroundings.

"Dude." Hurley said in amazement.

"What is this place?" Sayid asked in the same tone.

"John, where's Jack and Adonia?" Genna asked as she looked around for them.

"They're gone. I need you help." John said directed at Sayid. The clock now read 025|00.

"What does it look like?" Genna shouted as she looked around for something.

"It's a breaker box. There has to be one. Follow the conduit lines." Sayid shouted from the computer.

"Cool. Okay, great. What's a conduit line?" Hurley said searching as well.

"Those tubes-follow those." Genna said putting to the ceiling. Hurley then stumbled across the pantry, completely intrigued.

"Whoa." He was speechless.

"Did you find it?" Genna asked following his voice.

"Uh, uh...Depends on what you mean by 'it'."

Desmond kept running through the jungle until he tripped and fell down a hill. He got up unharmed and tried to put his things back in his backpack.

"Stop." Jack said pointing a gun to him. Adonia caught up to them and stayed back when she saw the scene.

"Oh, right. The code, yeah?" Desmond said with certainty.

"What?" Jack was clueless.

"Right, listen carefully. If by some miracle, you manage working that computer again, you gotta enter the code- 4, 8, 15,16, 23, 42. Hit Execute. Again- 4, 8, 15, 16-"

"Shut up." Jack demanded.

"Sorry?" Desmond said taken aback.

"Nothing is going to happen. Some man takes you down there, shows you a movie, and you push a button- on faith alone. Nothing is going to happen!" Adonia hated seeing Jack like that. It frightened her.

"In about fifteen minutes, you're either going to be very right or very wrong, brother. You want to shoot me? Shoot me! But I'm not hanging about."

"Why are you running? You don't even know what you're running from!" Jack's voice was hard and harsh. Adonia stepped back from him, not knowing what he was going to do next. Desmond looked at him in realization.

"I remember you. Running. I know you. I met you." Desmond began walking towards Jack.

"Stop." He said positioning his gun, ready to shoot.

"Los Angeles. I was training, yeah? You twisted your ankle. You're a doctor, right?" Jack only repeated himself.

"There was this girl. You were worried. You said- you said you failed her. That was you!"

"It doesn't matter." Adonia could hear Jack holding back tears in his voice.

"Was she okay? The girl?" Desmond asked in concern.

"It doesn't matter." Jack said trying to avoid the conversation.

"What happened to her?" He asked still trying to find out. Jack repeated his words again, now more calm.

"How can you say it doesn't-"

"I married her!" Jack said in defeat. Strangely, Adonia felt a pain in her heart. She was unsure why. She was also sad that she wasn't the only one that had a spouse back at home. Neither of the two ever mentioned being married to each other. So this came to a surprise to her. Jack put down his gun and began crying. She wanted to hold him for support, but she didn't feel it was appropriate at the time. Shrugging off her thoughts, she kindly put her hand on his back and rested her head on his shoulder in a small attempt for a hug.

"Right." Desmond said softly. He slowly walked towards him.

"And you...you're not married to her anymore then." Adonia lifted her head and looked at Desmond, then Jack again. She didn't realize why he was really crying. He nodded "no" to answer his rhetorical question. Desmond walked away from him. Adonia stepped back to give him some space. She felt awful and terribly sorry.

"See you in another life, yeah?" Desmond said then took his backpack and ran off.

"Jack." Adonia said softly. He turned to her with less tears. She ignored her thoughts and wrapped her arms around his neck to hug him. He was reluctant at first, but he wrapped his arms around her waist and cried once more.

—

005|00. Time was running out.

"Can you fix it?" Locke asked Sayid.

"This man, whoever he was, replaced the motherboard." He got up and walked to the front of the desk, observing the wires.

"The power transformer is blown." He explained.

"Don't you need to know why?"

"All I need to know is that the timer is counting down to something and that this computer needs to be repaired. I'm sure you'll tell me why once I've done so."

Genna found what seemed to be a breaker box and opened it. She turned a large lever upward, causing the lights to turn on.

"Found it!" She said with a smile. Genna and Hurley then walked back into the computer room. Unfortunately, the beeping began. The timer was now counting down the seconds as well.

"Uh, what's that?" Hurley asked in worry.

"Sayid?" Locke followed in questioning.

"I'm working on it."

"You have to-" Locke started to say.

"I know what I have to do. Reconnected the processor...replaced the transformer..." He placed the top of the computer back on and turned on the switch. The computer turned back on revealing the same symbols as before.

"It's on." Locke informed everyone else.

"Okay. So what now?" Genna said walking over to the computer.

"There was a code. He made me enter it." Locke said trying to remember.

"What code?" Hurley asked confused.

"Do you remember what it is?" Sayid asked in panic.

"4. 8," he said as he began typing the numbers in, "15. 16."

"Wait." Hurley said concerned. There were his "cursed" numbers.

"Dude. I'm serious, stop!" He said alarmed.

"Hugo, this is not the time or place." Locke said pointing to him.

"Well, I think it is." He walked over to the wall of electronics and buttons.

"23..." Locke motioned his hand to silence Hurley as he tried to remember the last number.

"32." He said as he punched it in. He paused with hesitation. The number didn't seem right.

"You know what? Forget it. Do your thing." Hurley knew the last number and wasn't going to stop him from putting in the wrong number. He slowly reached for the button.

"It's not 32." Jack said as he walked in with Adonia. Genna nodded upward with a smile and Adonia smiled back.

"It's 42. He just told me- Desmond. The last number's 42." He said as he began walking away.

"You're sure." Locke asked trying to make sure.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Locke erased the last number and typed in 42. He looked at Jack not knowing whether he should push the button or not. Jack walked away, leaving Adonia standing in the doorway.

"You do it, Jack." Locke insisted. Jack stopped and lifted his head in frustration.

"What?" He said as he walked back. Locke got out of the chair.

"You have to do it." Jack laughed at his suggestion.

"You do it yourself, John."

"No, you saw the film, Jack. This is a- this is a two person job, at least." Jack shook his head in denial.

"This argument is irrelevant." Sayid added impatiently. He went for the button.

"Sayid, don't." Jack stopped him.

"Jack-"

"Don't. It's not real. Look, you want to push the button, you do it yourself." He said trying to walk away again.

"If it's not real, then what are you doing here, Jack? Why did you come back? Why do you find it so hard to believe?" Locke had a point.

"Why do you find it so easy?" Jack shouted back in anger.

"It's never been easy!" They were now standing face to face. Everyone stared at them and the beeping continued. Almost sixty seconds left. An alarm started to sound once it hit one minute.

"Maybe you should just do it." Adonia said to Jack.

"No," He said with a shaky voice, "It's a button."

"I can't do this alone, Jack. I don't want to. It's a leap of faith, Jack." Locke said calmly. With less than thirty seconds to go, Jack walked over to the computer in defeat. At the one second mark, he finally pressed the button and the quicken beeping stopped. It went down one more second showing 000|00. It then changed the numbers back to 108|00. Confused, everyone stood in silence.

"I'll take the first shift." Locke said as he sat back down. Jack walked out of the room, not saying a word.
