'00 Wagon complete loss of all power, everything else

So, I have a 2000 9-5 Wagon with about 137k on it. I brought it in for a routine check recently, and while I was there, I was told that soon I should consider replacing the DIC. I haven't quite gotten around to it yet, but that was only a few days ago, and they gave me a couple thousand miles before it would become an actual problem.
Now, I drove home from work today. Everything worked fine. About an hour and a half later, I adjusted the driver's power seat, which also worked fine. I then turned the key - and nothing happened. There was the briefest sound of the engine starting to turn over, but then it stopped and I started hearing an intermittent beeping - two beeps in close succession, and then nothing for a long time.
For about 1/2 an hour, if I opened any doors, the cabin lights would start strobing at really low power, and then once I closed the door they would come back on the full power. If I'm sitting in the driver's seat and the int. lights are on, I'll push the brake and all the lights will go off again. The radio continues to work after a slight delay. The ignition, however, does not respond in the SLIGHTEST when I try to start it. My first guess is that somewhere there is a short in the electrical system, but I can't be sure.
Any ideas?
