[to Desmond] The Pearl is a psychological station, full of TV monitors. And uh, two men sat in viewing chairs and filled notebooks, with observations on what happens in here. And then they put the notebooks in pneumatic tubes, sent 'em back to their headquarters, so they could evaluate us, as an experiment.

Locke

Desmond
What if the experiment wasn't on the two men in [The Swan] but on the two men in [The Pearl]?
