Pilot Part 2

The French Transmission

• Notes:
  
• Sayid, Sawyer, Kate, Charlie, Boone and Shannon all heard the French transmission while on the transceiver expedition in Pilot 2.
  
• Shannon translated as much of the transmission as she was able when the lostaways heard it on the transceiver. See below.
  
• Using the iteration count, Sayid calculated the message had been playing for 16 years and 5 months.
  
• The transceiver group decided to keep the transmission a secret.
  
• Sayid tried to find the signal by triangulation with the help of Kate, Sawyer, Boone and Shannon.
  
• Sayid was hit over the head before he could find the source of the transmission and later found out the culprit was Locke.
  
• Two translations from fans are provided below for comparison.

  Shannon's translation on the island:

• Quote:

  "It's - it's repeating... She's saying ... 'Please ...' she's saying, 'Please help me. Please come get me...I'm alone now.'" "Ummm ... 'On the island alone. Please, someone, come. The others -- they're ... they're dead. It killed them. It killed them all.'" - ABC Lost, Pilot 2, written by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelhof

  The translation below was originally posted by LBD the Lost Message FAQ Board, which is now out of service.
