Revision as of 08:47, 5 March 2006

First encountered on the radio found in the cockpit, Sayid picks up the signal, and Shannon translates
Later discovered to be recorded by Rosseau, and was changed at a broadcast tower somewhere on the island
We learn that the tower orginally broadcast the Numbers over and over, which is what originally brought Rosseau and her crew to the island

-During the [[season 2|second season]] of LOST it was revealed that the numbers are the code that must be entered into the computer located inside [[The Hatch]] every [[108]] minutes.  Entering [[the numbers]] resets the [[Countdown Timer]] to 108 minutes.  It is not explained to viewers what is to occur if the numbers are not typed in, but [[Desmond]] and the [[Orientation movie]] imply that it would be catastrophic.
+==FRENCH MESSAGE==
-[[The Numbers|The numbers]] must be entered during the last 4 minutes of each countdown. The alarm sounds when it is time to press the button. According to the [[The Swan|Swan Station]] [[Orientation Film|orientation film]], [[Station 3 Computer|the computer]] must not be used for anything other than the entering of this code and pressing of the button.

+==ENGLISH TRANSLATION==
-If an individual does not "[[Push the Button]]" in time, the numbers flip to a series of glyphs.  While the numeric sequence is flipping into these [[Hieroglyphics|glyphs]], an individual can still finish typing in the numbers, press execute, and return the counter to 108 minutes.  Presumably once all the glyphs are aligned, time is up.

-It was revealed in the episode "What Kate Did" that there is a way to communicate via the computer as [[Walt]] supposedly communicated with his dad whilst [[Michael]] was on shift.
-While the glyphs were coming up on the timer, a loud hydro-mechanical sound was heard.  This was perhaps some sort of engine powering up, or some form of machinery preparing to activate.
-In [[One of Them|Season 2, Episode 14]], [[Locke]] was the first individual to witness this event.
-===Who Pushes the Button?===
-The Survivors make an effort to take shifts, so that there are always two people in [[the hatch]] to operate the computer.
-[[Jack]] and [[Locke]] are told about Pushing the Button by [[Desmond]], who used to do it with [[Kelvin]].  Shortly after disclosing this fact, and watching the [[Orientation Film|orientation]] movie, [[Desmond]] fled [[the Hatch]] and the Survivors where left to decide what to do with the console and the button pushing.
