DHARMA came to the island, built stations, radio tower and so on. The Natives defend their island. The Purge happens on December 22nd 1987.

The Purge caused a malfunction of the "Looking Glass" Station and the messege got off the island: 4 8 15 16 23 42

The Radiotower

Right at this juncture, Leonard Simms and Sam Toomey are working on an outpost in the south pacific. After long night of hearing nothing they receive the messege from the island. We know what happened to them later

Outpost (not from LOST) and Lenny

Also right at this juncture a six-person science expedition is 3 days from Tahiti in the pacific. On board: The pregnant Danielle Rousseau, her lover Robert, Montand, Brennan and 2 unknown crewmembers. They follow the Signal and strand on the island.

The beginning of Rousseaus odyssey

Ben and some others move to the "Looking Glass" and block all outgoing signals again. They just open the port for the Flame-Frequency.

Meanwhile Rousseaus team builds a camp. They search for the source of the signal and find the radio tower after 2 weeks near the Black Rock. They also make a map of the island with notes.

After a while, ~first 2 weeks of march 1988, Danielle returns to the Radiotower and stops the messege, which wouldn´t be possible if DHARMA would be still active on the island. She records a distress call and plays it in a loop.
