Inside of it were 23 individuals who had been woken up from cryostasis in the basement of the Orchid. Originally there were 25, but two of them died during the resuscitation process. “I know this will be very confusing for most of you. On December 19, 1992 at 4 pm, the hostiles committed an attack on the Dharma Initiative. And by use of a neurotoxic gas manufactured here and at the Tempest Station, the hostiles killed every member of the Initiative. Or so they thought. “As you know, several of us had been contacted by the hostiles and were being used as infiltrators. Benjamin Linus was one of them. I was another. But when I realized what it was they were truly doing, I turned on them, and that’s how you all ended up here.” Goodwin paused for a drink of water. “It is now October 30, 2004. Tomorrow is Halloween. It took me this long to finally succeed in overthrowing the hostiles. Just recently, with the help of my wife, Harper, and a few other faithful individuals," he indicated Ryan and Gabriel, who were with him at the front, "we successfully killed every hostile on the island, including their leader, Richard Alpert. We banished Alpert’s second in command, Ben Linus as well. Joining us in our fight was the heroine, Amelia Earhart, who died during the confrontation, and we also garnered the aid of several survivors of a plane crash, Oceanic Flight 815, that crashed here in September of this year.” The individuals of the Dharma Initiative listened without reaction. They were still a little groggy from coming out of cryo. Harper sat behind Goodwin on his right. Goodwin had filled her and Ryan in on the story he was going to tell beforehand. Cindy had gone missing, and Goodwin figured that may be good for this, so long as she didn’t turn up and screw everything up. Gabriel, who was also from the Dharma Initiative, was there as well. Goodwin had reluctantly filled him in on what was going on, and Gabriel seemed to take it without objection. Goodwin supposed that Gabriel would take orders, just like he always did. “Throughout this whole event, much has happened. But now we are almost safe from the threats on the island. It was finally time to revive all of you, and now we are going to face the threat from the outside world. “A few short days ago, the island was moved by our enemies. And in an attempt to finish us, they moved us to an arctic climate, which is decimating all of the flora on the island. In addition, they destroyed the Tempest, which not only provided us with power, but managed to prevent the outside world from finding us. It is my belief that the enemy will now be free to return to the island after all of us have died from the cold, and then they will take control of the island themselves.” “Why can’t we move it again ourselves?” Amy, a young Dharma Initiative employee who was the first to be thawed, asked. “Or use the time machine?” “We can’t move all of us through time. The possibilities of ripping open the time space continuum are too great if we move groups of people through it en masse. And the wheel is broken. It has been sealed up by the island until the Promised One comes to move it.” “The Promised One?” another man asked. “Yes, that’s what the island said. That is another reason why I have awoken you. The island did not specify who would be able to move the island again, but I am certain that it is not me, or my wife – we’ve already tried. It is my hope that the island will speak to one of you and tell you how to fix the wheel, and possibly help us to restore power. Or god help us all, for we will freeze to death here when our power runs out.” As Goodwin finished his speech, a shadow moved in the hallway at the back of the chamber. He did not see Omar there, shaking his head at the traitor. Omar then shrugged and backed up into the stairwell that led to topside. He decided to take a little walk so he could formulate a plan for gathering information on Goodwin's little crew. Edited by DarthHaggis, Feb 25 2009, 10:16 PM.
