[SPEC]What's in Jamies' packet from Teddy
Oh My God, It's Alive

There seems to be more reasons to think that the seabeds' nectar is made up of extremophiles (or their eggs). I wrote about this in another thread but I want to put it in condensed form for all the new people that seem to be on the board.

Some facts:
An extremophile is an organism that thrives in and may even require physically or geochemically extreme conditions that are detrimental to the majority of life on Earth.

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

YOSHIDA MEDICAL RESEARCH
"YMR is a genetic research firm specializing in deep sea bioprospecting. YMR implements Tagruato's advanced exploration technology to study extremophiles found only in the deepest parts of our oceans. The understanding of such organisms that thrive in conditions of extreme pressure, temperature, and toxicity has boundless pharmaceutical and industrial promise. "

Some extremophiles change their state (like suspended animation) when conditions become extreme:

"Cryobiosis is cryptobiosis which is initiated by a reduction in temperature to below 0 °C and involves the ordered freezing of water within the body cells . "

Therefore you have to keep the DSI/Seabeds' Nectar/kaitei no mitsu below 0 degrees or it will in effect come back to life.

On a side note, something I found: (new ingredient Slusho!comes to life!!!!!!--- this is the only sentence in the Slusho! history page which has six of the mysterious exclamation points, 6!s' = six words back)

Teddy said to freeze ASAP

From Vernon Macdood:
"something the Japanese call"kaitei no mitsu",or Seabed's Nectar ", shipped in dry ice by a company out of Honshu called Tagruato."

From the 1-18-08 recipe:
"Please make sure to keep this one cold!"
"Chill it until it becomes cold "
"and then chill "
"run under cold water until chilled."

From the Slusho History:
"Because the ingredient was discovered on the deep
ocean floor, under amazing pressure and in the most extreme cold, Ganu
knew he had to serve the ingredient in a near-frozen state to preserve its
freshness!!"

Here's my original post about the Extremophile reference on the Tagruato site.:

As posted by someone else light is probably a key factor in this, anything that lives that deep will not get any natural light. So it could well be a combination of light and warm that has an effect.

I can't see the monster being any sort of natural occuring creature. If it was discovered alive at that depth it is unlikely that being disturbed it would rush to the surface and destroy the first city it comes across.

So this leaves a monster from outer space or more likely some sort of mutation. Maybe in its raw state as found in the depths its has the ability to rapidly mutate any living creature it comes across. Maybe either in experiments conducted by the company or the contents of the package gets tossed in the garbage or flushed down the toilet into the sewers.

It seems like the PMs are leading us to believe there is genetic manipulation going on - its' mention on the Yoshida Medical research pages and the Investors' press release about Dr. Abe ("in regards to his genetic manipulation ").

it has to be Seabed's Nectar. They've been throwing too many clues towards us about keeping the stuff cold for it not to be the Nectar. They keep hammering that fact home.

Speculation/Wishful Thinking

If it does mutate; I really hope she has the camera running when it bursts out of the package and attacks her! Stupid, selfcentered girl.

i have this strange feeling she is gonna toss the "sea bed nectar" and that is what the monster is attracted to or because she tosses it, winds up in the ocean and that what triggers the mutation.

and then randy gets in touch with her and she's like "oh Censored "

i could see her throwing it out and it end up in the ocean cuz i doubt she'll take it all the way to the pier and drop in herself...

Im pretty sure the monster has already mutated.

If we accept the clip in the trailer as a girl going kersplat, this is probably the only explanation that makes sense, IMO. But there's still debate on what the clip means, if it was edited to look misleading, if it's a storyline that might be discarded in the final product, etc. However, I don't think they would have posted the beginning of the article criticizing the effect of Slusho's secret ingredient if this wasn't meant to be significant.

Agreed. Teddy was saying in the tape that Tagruato 'found' or is 'making' something.

Which leads me to believe that the sea bed nectar just attracts the monster.

I don't know if I buy the spec that the monster is attracted to a 2 inch by 2 inch square, wrapped package of seabed's nectar, that doesn't make sense to me. I think it is obvious, however, that the "primary evidence" is seabed's nectar/DSI.

The way Teddy speaks that simple sentence "They've found..or are making something" leads me to believe he's actually seen a glimpse of the monster. He seems shaken.

Now I'm not sure that the seabed's nectar actually attracts the monster, though. I simply think it breaks free.

I think this is a case of a creature simply existing and ending up somewhere where it is not welcome. I don't think the monster is really angry or spiteful. Until after the military starts pummelling it.

It seems odd that a "not spiteful" monster would rip the head off the SOL and hurl down the street. IDK.
