Glad to see this thing fully translated!
Just thought I'd point out that in the first paragraph when it says "because of the incident that took place," the word incident uses the japanese word for a criminal act. Considering that, I think it's safe to assume that the 'incident' was someone's actions, not some disaster on the station or something.
Interesting.
Maybe "the Cause" is the cause of the monster attack. Has that been said before? idk - I just spent all morning catching up on 21 pages of this thread.

I think someone should keep an eye on the number of employees on the Chuai station to see if it goes any lower. that would confirm the missin ppl
I can't imagine they'd advertise the diminishing number of employees by updating their site every time someone bites it.

If people are disappearing/dying with no apparent cause, I'd probably assume it was a criminal act. It's a remote drilling platform, after all, so I doubt the higher-ups in Tokyo know every little thing that goes on there. There must have been more than one so far, or Tagruato probably wouldn't have sent out the memo...

Question: I dont have time to track down, have we been given any names of Tag.Employees @ DSD stations other thatn Botan Ajibana and Kita Ijichi? I suggest tracking Tag.Employees down on Social networking sites? May clear up if this is
1. Ecoterrorist
2. Evil Corp
3. Mother Nature, being one bad Mutha-'Shut you mouth'.
i dont research i get the UF minions to do

Criminal act Ok just spit balling here but couldn't the criminal act be the hack? If this guy is who is sending out messages to "the cause" then tagruato probably considers this leak to be a criminal act. Hence the need to hold back all communications.
I think we'll know more about "the cause" here soon(don't forget the ninth is coming up a week from sunday)
Edit: I should point out that I have no solid evidence that, it could be that someone is warning all of us americans for what is about to happen in just under 50 days now

All i have to say is wow. good work and thanks to everyone who put in so much time completing the translation. I ordered my shirt a few days ago before all this started so it will be interesting to see if there is anything in with my shirt.
With the indication that the whistleblower will have more to say I suggest instead of everyone running out and purchasing stuff right now, that if you were going to buy something, wait a week or so to see if we get anything new. Maybe each week they will put different clues hints in with the orders. Or if you have already purchased a shirt, go out and get the sweatshirt, maybe they intorduced the sweatshirt so people would have new stuff to buy if they had already bought hats and shirts, thus new opportunity to get new clues.

Although im sure we would like to think there some deeper meaning to the sweatshirt, its release coincides with what most people know as winter.
The sweatshirt just makes sense. Why would you sell a sweatshirt in summer when this thing started

yeah its just clever merchandising. release a new clue that will surely boost sales... then introduce a seasonal new product. brilliant

from a typical clothing marketing standpoint that sweatshirt should have been available in early to mid september. that's when most clothing companies put out their fall lines.

Just noticed something:
On my "handwritten" side, it says "have gone missing"
But the other half is "are going missing"
odd?
