As Desmond frantically managed to enter the numbers while facing a monitor flooded with failure notifications, the build-up broke and things went back to normal. At that point, the hieroglyphs were accompanied by a high power-build up, rising through time and causing the whole computer room to shake rapidly, while a system failure alarm signal kept playing. In " Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1", Desmond revealed in his flashbacks an early incident where the hieroglyphs were all locked for a long period. See more details about the significance of these symbols in: Hieroglyphs. ( Official 'Lost' Podcast/July 31, 2006) Other hieroglyphs are also momentarily visible on the countdown timer as it flips to the 5 final symbols: The red and black hieroglyphs from the failure sequence were translated by Damon Lindelof to mean "underworld", although Carlton Cuse noted that they are "subject to interpretation". After their entering of the Hatch, the survivors encountered this sequence in 2 more incidents, before the last incident ending with the second system failure and the implosion of the Swan. The first occurrence of the failure sequence was revealed in Desmond's flashback, where it led to the first system failure. However, as soon as the system failure started, the counter soon became of no use due to the strong electromagnetism effect. The sound of a power build-up was immediately heard, which led to the rest of the system failure effects.Īpparently, the timer could be reset during all of this sequence.The alarm signal was immediately replaced by a recorded voice repeating: "System Failure".At the end of the 10 seconds, the alarm stopped and all the hieroglyphs were locked in.During the last 10 seconds, Egyptian hieroglyphs flipped in position of the timer numbers.At the 10-second mark, for 20 seconds, the same alarm signalled at a much faster rate.At the 1-minute mark, an intense alarm signalled and continued for the next 50 seconds.
