The Arrival/Theories

See Theory Shell and Theory Policy for details.

The 38 known parts of the First Person weapon/device were distributed around the world and marked to be found as if it was an intelligence test. The Beacon as the final piece adds the puzzle of how to stop it from escaping

1. The Beacon is broadcasting a signal of an unknown type.

1. The Beacon may be a device from a third party (Observers) designed to travel thru the planet to locate and/or monitor the buried components. –DocH– my edits

He has the identity of a low level drug dealer, but the absolute late of fear and confidence in his indestructibility exhibited by the shape shifters.

1. He has access to technology similar to that exhibited by 'the other side' such as the telepathic monitor and force gun.
2. He is chasing the beacon a technology that may belong to the First People.

1. Nether the telepathic monitor or the force gun is exactly the same as items we have seen on the other side.
2. It is not confirmed that he "bleeds" mercury like most shapeshifters.

Moments after the Observer steps out of the diner and before he calls, there is a blue flash of light (on both occasions) which are similar to the ones that appear when an universe is crossed.

1. The flash of light that is emmited is similar to the one that appears when the universe is switched (from alternate to this one or vice versa).
2. The Beacon is of "Unknown Origin".
