The Pearl Orientation video seems to be the Pearl's counterpart to the Swan Orientation film. Unlike the film found in the Swan, the movie is on a Sony U-matic video tape, rather than a spool of film. The video talks about the duties of the Pearl. It is station five of six of the DHARMA Initiative, and is a monitoring station. Other stations have hidden cameras installed in them, and for three weeks, the inhabitants of the Pearl will monitor the staff of another station and make records in notebooks for eight hour shifts. When a notebook is filled, it is to be placed in a capsule, which is then placed into a pneumatic tube where it is sent directly to 'us'. Later the Losties discover that the pneumatic tube dumps the notebooks out in the middle of nowhere, where no one is retrieving them,
