[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 2634654, member: 1225"] Let's see: * The Hanso Life-Extension Project Okay, Hanso was clearly older (as was Locke's dad) and rich, possibly really likely to be interested in living longer (repairing kidneys, fixing spine injuries, etc.) * The Hanso Foundation Electromagnetic Research Initiative The mechanical black smoke grabby monster -- some kind cloud of particles, controlled & shaped by EM fields, effectively forming some kind "arm"? Also capable of drawing airplanes vastly off-course, and maybe even ripping them apart? - The Hanso Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Maybe a red herring, or maybe the source of the other high tech stuff. * The Hanso Mathematical Forecasting Initiative Ooh, shades of Hari Seldon's psychohistory, from Asimov's Foundation books. A branch of mathematics used for forecasting the actions of masses of people. * The Hanso Cryogenics Development Imperative If you're old & rich in 1980, and the life extension research you're funding isn't bearing fruit, you might just want to freeze yourself to be thawed out later. * The Hanso Juxtapositional Eugenics Development Institute AKA "let's breed us some psychics". Hello, Walt. Maybe others, too. * The Hanso Accelerated Remote Viewing Training Facility Again, we say hello to Walt. Maybe Shannon and Jack, too? They've both seen strange figures. ISTR it seemed like Locke saw something out in the jungle, too. Hmm. Maybe there's a remote viewer stuck somewhere on (in) the island (possibly cyrogenically frozen?), that can project to others -- but his or her projection take on forms drawn from the recipient's mind. Thus, Jack, having just been transporting the body of his father, sees his dad; Shannon, worried about losing the dog she promised the kid she'd watch over, sees Walt; Locke sees something that confirms his faith. Yeah, the passengers are all part of the experiments. Multiple experiments. Or, they're all red herrings. :) [/QUOTE]
