Elliott has to go to the geodome and enter the Numbers to reset the countdown timer. Elliott activates three different electrical panels in the Swan that control a switch.

When the three electrical panels are activated, the Swan enters lockdown and all blast doors are lowered and the countdown timer activates with four minutes left. The Swan computer enters a new mode. The computer first asks the operator to "enter the way home". Elliott enters "Via Domus" into the computer. This reveals a menu for opening the three blast doors and setting two optional black light sources for the station

There are three blast doors that can be opened and closed. Blast door 1 controls access to the living area in the Swan from the computer room. Blast door 2 controls access to the corridor leading to the front entrance of the Swan. Blast door 3 blocks the outside entryway into the Swan.

There are two black light sources that Elliott can activate inside the Swan. These allow maps drawn on the walls to be seen. There are two maps in the Swan. One of the maps shows the way to the Incident Room. Inside the living area on one of the walls is the blast door map. If the second black light source is activated, a new set of writing on the blast door map is revealed including information on the Looking Glass, the Orchid, the Hydra, the Barracks, and Pala Ferry.

  • This is Desmond's only actual appearance in the game. He can only be seen on an image on the Bodyguard's newspaper later. ("Hotel Persephone") ("Whatever It Takes")
  • Radzinsky's journal can be found in the bookshelf next to the armory. It hints at the blast door map notations and the hidden door.
