There's always a lighthouse

[wheremst]

And just like that, you wake up in the basement of a lighthouse in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There's a circle of 25 pods in the middle of the room, and two more in a room off to the side, and you can imagine who is in which.

An elevator to the side of the room leads up to the ground floor (or to the first sub-basement, if you want to check out the machine that brought you here), where you can for the first time in weeks look out a window and see the sky. Its a beautiful sunny day, with a strong breeze on the grassy ground of the island where the lighthouse stands. Have you ever been this happy to hear seagulls?

You're free. Whatever comes next, you're free and you won. Take some time to relish your victory, won't you? Reunite with friends you thought you had lost, go forth and just... well, enjoy this.

Can't get it right every time, I guess.

[ Whatever will be, will be, he guesses. Though not that he knows what he's thinking, obviously, but that does raise a good question of what happened with Lloyd and the others if time actually is passing... uh. ]

Clearly not. Though I maintain the odds of that were astronomical.

Hard agree. I guess that's usually what happens when enough headstrong people try to work on it, I guess.

Though, that kid could've done something way sooner than he did. What was he looking for, an entrance theme?

The most dramatically appropriate moment, I would presume.
