From the website's interactive drilling map, it looks like they're opening several new drilling stations this month; one of which will be by the eastern American coast.
Don't do it!!! Shocked

I'll ask before anyone else does to get it out of the way - any drilling near the Bloop?

Can't wait for the ParafFun! and Bold Futura sites to come on-line.

Also, the PDF files for the financial statements don't link to anything yet.

So, who is "Hiro Takahashi" and his wife, "Akemi"?

Hiro Takahashi is probably either a nod to Hiro, from heroes (since jj and the heroes guy have that love affair with each other's work) or Hiro Takahashi, a Japanese musician. Interesting what he writes about, that they discover compounds and specifically test them to cure cancer.

hi, first of all i'm new to this.

the drilling at the Chuai Station, nearest to the USA and New York and the fact that it starts so close to the actual disaster date puts things into perspective as to why this creature from the depths attacks New York. Its the closest land mass to where i think it is disturbed by the drilling off shore.

I think that all of the special ingredient mentioned in other topics, have run dry, hence why there are so many drilling stations around the globe. It seems like it was only a matter of time before the Tagurato Corp disturbed something and it in return, sought revenge.

I beleive this is a big find, seems authentic. I have been following everyones investigative work over the past month or so and thought i'd join in the action at this stage. Well done so far guys

All the names of the 14 Drilling platforms seem to be names of Japanese Emperors, historical and/or mythical.

EDIT: In fact, check this out:

Chuai Station and Its Emporer

Emporer Chuai - "Station on Mid-Atlantic Ridge"

According to these same legends, his wife was suddenly possessed by some unknown gods. The gods promised Emperor Chūai rich lands overseas. Chūai then looked to the sea, but he could see nothing and denounced his belief in the promises of the gods. The gods were enraged by this and declared that he would die and never receive the promised land. Instead they would go to his conceived but unborn son. The legend then states that Chūai died soon after and his widow, Jingū, conquered the promised land, which is conjectured to be part of modern day Korea.

The numerals 0 1 18 0 8 are scattered through out this news item, albeit some extra.

Just kind of stood out to me as a subtle nod to the players of the ARG, maybe.

Drilling Platforms

Ok, so, here's a breakdown of their drilling platforms, and TAKE NOTE that the order in which they went operational (w/the exception of the 5 that started on the same day in Feb. or 1995) is the same order of "Legendary [Japanese] Emperors" - listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Emperors_of_Japan. Here's a list of the names of each platform and the date opened (I'd have included workforce and cost, but I can't figure out how to TAB and do neat columns here... argh!).

1. Jimmu 6/14/91 (Fri)
2.. Suizei 9/4/92 (Fri)
3. Annei 9/11/92 (Fri)
4. Itoku 9/18/92 (Fri)
5. Kosho 2/25/95 (Sat)
6. Koan 2/25/95 (Sat)
7. Korei 2/25/95 (Sat)
8. Kogen 2/25/95 (Sat)
9. Kaika 2/25/95 (Sat)
10. Sujin 11/7/98 (Sat)
11. Suinin 1/30/01 (Tue)
12. Keiko 5/17/03 (Sat)
13. Seimu 3/15/05 (Tue)
14. Chuai 9/07

So, February 25, 1995 was a banner day for the Tagruato Corp., eh? Five Drilling Platforms opened on the same day!

Anyway, for what it's worth...
