Theories about The ? (Pearl exterior)

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

• The circle (in the question mark design) is meant as an extraction and drop off point for the Pearl's occupants.
• Similar circles are found around every stations to provide a 'target' for supply drops.
• There are two ?'s on the blast door map: the large one in the center, and a smaller one just above the Pearl Station. The Pearl station was underneath the smaller ?, and the larger ? remains unfound.
• The "?" on the blast door map is an expression of something unknown. The "question mark" shape above The Pearl may have no relationship at all to the "?" on the blast door map.
• The large "?" on the Blast Door Map actually represents The Barracks. The person drawing the map could not explore the area due to the sonic barrier surrounding it, and hence, assigned a "?" to it.
  • The dotted line seen surrounding the "?" could represent the sonic barrier as the drawer saw it; an alarm system surrounding the Barracks.
    • Assuming that Radzinsky was recruited by DHARMA, it doesn't seem plausible that he would have no knowledge of the Barracks, and would therefore not label it on the blast door map as a huge "?".
      • You know what they say about assuming, though.
