I don't think Randy is back. There's no evidence saying he is:

We have a post on 12/18/07 saying he is missing:

I don't know what to say. They told me to post here. I've never done this before.

Um…..things are not going as planned. There has been a problem with the "event". Please contact me if you have any information on Randy or the others. I'm the only one here right now. Backup desperately needed.


Followed by today's update:

As many of you know, we returned from our journey late last night. There are already more rumors going around than I'd like, so I want to set the record a little straighter before all of us go crazy.

Yes, we had the coordinates correct. There's no possibility that we weren't in the right spot. But there was simply nothing there. No debri, no clues, no anything. Just ocean. And calls to our comrades got nothing but static.

This doesn't mean that we're giving up - exactly the opposite. Something went on out there. A mess too big for Tagruato to wipe up with their handfuls of money. People are going to want to know what happened to that station.

And we're going to find out.


I think Randy and Ted were both on Chuai at the time it happened and we have a currently unnamed person updating the website.


look at the first post of this thread, i dont know how reliable it is because i do not know how to check but cashingin who created this thread said that yesterday's blog was posted by randy


EDIT: p.s. WOOOOHOOOO for post number 69!!!! jamie knows what i'm talking about.

Because it is a blog, not a corporate website (where people are generally paid to proofread the content)

You can check who posted the blog entry by looking at the RSS feed:

http://tidowave.com/blog/?feed=rss2

(If you look at it in IE, it will show the users name - randy. If you use FireFox, you'll have to look in the source code)


This doesn't necessarily mean that Randy was the one that posted this, just that whoever did used his account.

For anyone thinking Chuai was supposed to be an underwater station, it's listed on Tagruato's site as a drilling station. Should alleviate confusion.

Barring something stunning or miraculous, Teddy is fish bait. He was their man on the station, and the station isn't there.

Not possible. According to the company website, over 300 people are employed at the Chuai station. It would be economically impossible to house 300+people underwater and deal with the depressurization/oxygen/food supply issues for that many.


Well you've gotta remember this is fiction. J.J. has delved in underwater stations before (Looking Glass in Lost), and this time it might just be a helluva lot bigger. I guess it is doubtful that Chuai is underwater though, it's just too much of a stretch. That'd be funny if they got there and didn't realize it was underwater.

Thank you for pointing out the rss feed thing. However, I still think someone is using his account, as evidenced by the 12/18/07 tidowave blog post which was also done under Randy's name...even though the message clearly states he's missing.

I don't think that 'line' on the sonar image is part of any structure or creature.
It's simply the leading edge of the current sonar sweep from bottom to top.

Also, it's looking even more probable that the image itself might contain both the wreckage of station and creature.

Lack of debri(s) is a bit odd, you'd expect a bunch of random buoyant objects to be left behind if something like that sank into the ocean, but I suppose they might not be so easy to find in a big area.

Certainly looks like it cuts off there, the way it intersects the bigger block at the same angle.

It would be odd just after the accident to have happened for there not to be any flotsam around. However, if the event happened on 12/18, the ocean currents would easily have moved away all the objects from the area by New Years.

I think Tagruato's mention of underwater stations was just a cover up. It might have been written specifically for Chuai, meaning they knew what they were dealing with then, and knew if something ever went wrong with MGP and he went ballistic and caused mass chaos (destroying a station) they would have a ready answer to anyone questioning where it is.

The Titanic was a really big ship. Not too long after it went down, I'd venture that the flotsam had dispersed fairly well. If you are wondering how long it takes for such flotsam to get around, I'm sure there's news of it archived somewhere. As for finding something that floats (and a deep ocean rig like that would be afloat and tethered) and can thus drift while it's sinking - how long did it take to find the Titanic? We had a pretty good idea where it went down, there was a ship near enough to pick up survivors before they all froze in the North Atlantic.

It would be about as believable, if not more so, than a 600' tall monster walking through Manhattan...

My guess is that it's underwater and, for now, still intact. The TidoWAVE guys went there, did something stupid (like show up), and got pulled down, torpedoed, etc...

Uh, except that they are reporting as if they'd been there in the latest post, and uneventfully returned (pardon the pun).

No, team #2 went there looking for the vanishing team #1, as far as I can tell.

Other possibility: the station's fine and Tag didn't have anything directly to do with the disappeareance. Our TidoWave guys simply got eaten. Twisted Evil
