Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier (Twin Peaks, #2)

by Mark Frost

According to Hastings’s testimony, at some point during their last year together, they claimed to have made contact with a person or entity that identified itself only as “The Major.” They were eventually told they could make personal contact with this individual by entering into some sort of nonphysical or metaphysical dimension. The Major told them that this encounter would occur at a specific time and place in or near an unspecified entrance to this “Zone.” The location he gave them for the meeting happened to be a derelict vacant lot on the wrong side of the tracks in Buckhorn. Once they were “inside” the Zone, “the Major”—whom Hastings described as “hiding” or “hibernating” inside of wherever this was—appeared and tasked them with finding a set of “important coordinates” from a secure military database. (From Hastings’s description, it seems that during this initial conversation, “the Major” revealed himself to them in more or less corporeal physical form.) As we’ve now been able to confirm, once Hastings and Davenport succeeded in hacking this military database—most likely with clues provided by the Major—and obtained the information he was after, they returned to the same location of the “Zone” a second time to personally deliver it to “the Major.” As they were about to give the Major these coordinates, according to Bill Hastings, all manner of hell broke loose.
