How about this for time order of events:

1. The Tagruato satellite spotted something falling into the Atlantic but is only now getting around to announcing it.

2. TIDOWAVE went to the coordinates of Chuai Station and found absolutely nothing there.

3. Tagruato just now gets around to announcing an incident at the station and is blaming Eco-Terrorists. (TIDOWAVE)

But they insist it wasn' them.


You forgot to mention before number 3 that the whistleblower sent out 2 sonar shots.

So now let's see if TIDOwave puts something fresh up in the next 12-24 hrs. I suspect so.

TIDO!??

here has been an altercation at the Chaui Station. Although details are limited at present time, be assured that Tagruato is taking every measure necessary to ensure the safety and well being of all staff and crew. Specialty teams have been deployed, and are working aggressively to restore harmony at the site.

The cause of the problem is currently being investigated, although it is suspected that an eco-terror cell is responsible for the disturbance.

We have top investigators on our side. Everything will be resolved shortly, and all problems will be fixed. If you have any questions, please contact us at +81-3-5403-6318 for further instructions.

When +81-3-5403-6318 is typed into my Skype (online phone service) it comes out as a japanese number.

1st half is japanese and 2nd half is english. I recorded both seperately

Japanese (assuming)

*By the way it says at the very end you can enter an extension if you wish.. dunno about that. It says a whole bunch of japense things from a different women after the tagruato lady is finished talking. Im assuming its just the typical "hang up now blah blah you cannot be connected your call is finish" typical thing after someone hangs up or you dial an invaild number. then an english woman says "You may dial an extension now if you wish"

Hope this helps Rock On

None of this makes any sense... yet.

The fact that TIDOWave went to the Chuai site and found nothing indicates only two possibilities:

1) Chuai is underwater and intact.
2) Chuai never existed in the first place.

The monster destroying Chuai isn't plausible because, unless he swallowed the station whole, there has to be *some* debris. Heck, even a floating coffee cup counts as debris; you can't tell me the station doesn't have *anything* that floats.

But, given these two possibilities, the sonar picture can't be of the station because it doesn't make any sense to take a sonar photo of the station from a Tagruato point of view. Why would the WB send us a sonar picture of the station? And a blurry sonar picture doesn't mean it was destroyed; you cannot expect an intact platform to appear pristine on a sonar scope anyway (heck, even submarines appear surrounded by noise on sonar).

Therefore, based on that, I have to go with #2 above. Chuai is a cover story for something bigger, and doesn't exist as a platform in the first place. That's why it didn't appear on the quarterly report; you can't be drilling for oil from a platform that doesn't exist. It also serves as a means to hide funds; you can mount millions upon millions of funds in to the creation of the station (materials, assembly, payroll, etc...) in order to fund whatever you wanted.

Tagruato sending up the satellite implies that they saw this coming; what other reason would there be to launch a satellite in the first place?

I think the sonar picture is of whatever came from outer space, and Tagruato knew about it well before this press release. Chuai only existed on paper so that they can use the money to fund this new venture: search and recovery of extraterrestrial items.

And now Tagruato has a problem: somebody went out there, saw Chuai didn't exist, and came back to report it. What's the best solution to that? Blame Chuai's disappearance on that same group and label them "eco-terrorists".

I also think that MGP probably landed with whatever that was, and simply isn't awake yet.

I think you're right.

I think it's clear the object fell from space last month, if not earlier, and Tag is just getting around to posting about it now.

Teddy said he was at Chuai. And they FOUND something. clearly the object that fell from space.

The important question is where the fuck did Chuai go? Has it been underwater the whole time? What is on that sonar image?

ARGH!

He never said he was on Chuai, he said he was on one of their stations.

Transcript of outgoing message Regarding Chuai Station
Altercation Phone Message Call

Tagruato wrote:
Thank you for calling Tagruato.

If you are calling regarding Chuai Station, please know that the situation is being handled and should be resolved shortly.

If you have a relative on-board, you will be contacted soon by the appropriate personnel. Headquarters does not have information on individual crew members.

All other questions should be directed toward our press office, **as this line** is currently not accepting messages


I can't tell if **as this line** is **at this time** it's unclear for me.

I feel you are all missing one of the biggest clues to the movie and thats the name of the satellite.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsui

Check out the powers that Hatsui has. And doesn't the story seem alot like the Ganu bio on slusho.jp?
