Theory of How the Oceanic Six Will Be Chosen 

Quuuuuite interesting!

very intresting!

Indeed, it makes sense

Thanks, Sophii, bones, and Hannak - we should know pretty soon if my theory's right ...

But isn't Keamy going to kill them if he catches them? And I don't think Jin would run away without Sun, I think he'd go anywhere with her.

I like the idea of speeds of running, though. Maybe it works the other way...

They're running away from Keamy's men to Sayid, who is ferrying people to the freighter on the little dingy. Some people they prioritise because of their conditions - Sun (pregnant), Jack (ill) and Aaron (baby). Kate is chosen to look after Aaron in the absence of Claire (who is in Jacob's cabin), Sayid is the one doing the ferrying so is automatically chosen and Hurley is the final one able to escape in time. Jin and Sawyer stay behind to buy time for Sun and Kate. Sayid gets them to the freighter, and Michael fixes the engine in time to sail them away. Keamy is left fuming.
