The Orchid orientation video

Here's the famed Orchid orientation video that was first teased at Comic-Con last summer. In the intro text, The Orchid is listed as station 6 of 6. In the video, we see Marvin Candle going by the name Edgar Halliwax. He is holding a white rabbit with the number 15 on it and begins to explain that island's unique properties have created a kind of Casimir effect which allows Dharma to conduct experiments in space and time. The vault was built next to a pocket of what they believe to be negatively charged exotic matter and inorganic materials and especially metal should not be placed in the chamber. Halliwax says the electromagnetic energy of the island can be highly volitale and unpredictable as he places bunny #15 in the inside the vault. In the experiment the will attempt to shift the #15 100ms ahead in 4-dimensional space. He then says, "for the briefest of moments, the animal will seem to disappear, but in reality...," then the tape begins to rewind on it's own.

My guess is that anymore explanation of the station might give away to many island secrets. There are still two seasons to reveal more information.
