* The significance of Jack's flooding of the 'dry' part of the station could mean that part of the rest of the station is damaged (and permanently flooded as a result). Furthermore it seems that there would be a air lock between the 'dry' station and the ocean, if that were normally an underwater part of the station. There also did not seem to be any warning signs on or near the ocean door that Jack opened.
 
*the Hydra is depicted on the maps that Sayid stole from Rousseau in series 1 as there is a strong ressemblance in the shape. the crater in the centre of these maps is the Barracks. these maps also appear to say Alex in the corner and rousseau may have drawn these maps as a way of surveying hydra island

* While [[DHARMA]] had multiple [[stations]] on the main [[The Island|Island]], the [[second island]] may be so small that it can only have one station - The Hydra. If that is the case, then perhaps the Hydra is the biggest station because it has multiple purposes. So far, it has been shown to house a shower/locker room, a shark tank, and an operating room.

Main Article Theories about
The Hydra
Main Discussion
 Theories may be removed if ... 
  1. Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc).
  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.
  6. 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.

Animals

  • Juliet has mentioned that Jack's examination room was used for dolphins and sharks. The room also has some sort of sound equipment, evidenced by the mixer.
  • Jack's examination room was used to dock submarine(s) as well.
  • The intercom, chains/pulley system and table in Jack's cell indicate that this was an operating/treatment room for large animals. It used to be flooded to provide an observation/recovery area for the animals after treatment.

People

  • Walt was possibly kept in the glass room, where Jack is held prisoner.
  • Walt's initials can be seen engraved on the wall behind Jack when he is sitting on the floor with his back against the wall.
  • Kelvin and Radzinsky did not know about it or were unable to get near it to document its location.
  • The Hydra is depicted on the maps that Sayid stole from Rousseau, instead of being labeled The Hydra it was labeled Alex.

Location

  • The Hydra is station "C4?" on the blast door map. The second island would account for the apparent disconnect of this station from the main island. References to "KEV-4?" as a zoological station and ursus maritimus are also noted in this general area.
  • The door that Jack opened is how The Others get in the submarine to get to the Main Island
  • The Blast Door Map shows location C3 on a small island separate from the Main Island. C3 is the Hydra Station.

Intercom

  • Jack's father is alive and being held by The Others somewhere on the Island. He managed to get a message through to Jack via the intercom.
  • Alex managed to use the intercom to communicate to Jack that she had unlocked his cell door in an attempt to free him.
  • The messages on the intercom were sent by The Others to intentionally confuse or misguide Jack.
  • The Intercom has shown qualities similar to those that have been recognised in the entity we call The Monster, primarily the fact that Jack's dead father, Christian has spoken to Jack through it. Jack has been "contacted" by people through it, telling him things that would be hard or even impossible for them to know (Alex knowing that the door was open, for instance). He has also been able to overhear parts of conversations not intended for his ears. And he has not to our knowlegde been able to communicate back to any of these persons. Also, in "Every Man for Himself", after the initial message from Christian, we get to overhear Tom talking about how the intercom is still malfunctioning after the discharge - hinting that The Others are not using it, since they think it's not working.

Name

  • The "Hydra" name refers to the fact that the station is comprised of multiple, independent but interconnected, operating units -- "heads" -- just like the mythological hydra has.
