I could try, but I'd de surprised if they actually used a depthmap to create the image in the first place. Looks like something lit from the top to me.

Any speculation on what the 4th, 5th and 6th leaks from the Whistle Blower will be?

who says that there will be a 4th, 5th, 6th?

I'm still wanting some closure on the Tido Wave issue, along with what happens to Jamie.

Just for fun, I unfolded the image into something that could pass for what we see in the trailer, (inside the square area)

And of course "you can't drink just 6" from Slusho.

I am still not clear about the color indications:
Light green is closest ?
Blue is deepest ?
Any other color is closer (red, purple, etc...)?
If this is true, then MGP is rising out of a mine shaft or drilling
hole or excavation site in the ocean floor?
Too many pages to read through, thanks.


I've made a quick anim to show how the image might have been made:



Circular gradient
Monster screened on top (I used a crab)
Noise+motion blur overlayed.
Rainbow Gradient Map for the colours. Purple brightest, Red darkest.
Monster faded in and out.


Edit: Similar thing done with my extracted image:


Wonder where it is.

Here's my take on the sonar, plus speculation about things in general - sorry if it's not original, I've checked a lot of the threads but not all.

Tagruato's website says their main purpose is drilling for petroleum, however with the leaked profits that are missing the Chuai station (plus the note "there is no oil here"), I believe the Chuai station was set up just to get the Seabed Nectar.
I think the Son-air scan is of what Tagruato believes/believed to be a large deposit of Seabed Nectar which they could drill away at and harvest as much as they want (the same way they would after a large oil deposit was found).
In actual fact, if this is true, could it turn out to be that they've been mining MGP's blood by drilling into its body and extracting the blood which they call Seabed Nectar. Now, he's so huge (if the Son-air is correct) that it would be like a few mosquito bites at first. But maybe they do it long enough that it pisses him off.
This could lead to people becoming infected, because they are basically consuming his blood.

So, I think the Son-air scan shows the position of Seabed Nectar, but with more detailed scans would show that it's simply MGP they are drilling into.

Or am I talking bollocks?

Very interesting theory, disgusting, but interesting.

Disgusting, yes - but it would explain a lot.
We've been told MGP is the size of a skyscraper, which is rather large.
Finding something like that underwater, the company that found it may not think of it as a creature as it is so large.
Drill into the anomaly and receive a substance full of nice bacteria which makes you healthy.
Later find you were drilling into a larger creature Smile

I wonder if Son-Air is really being provided by the Hatsui satellite Tagruato launched awhile back?

I dig the whole idea of drilling into MGP and pissing him/her off but given that the other stations found Seabed Nectar first not sure it fits with what we know.

I had guessed at that earlier as well. My wild ass spec is Ganu knew about MGP, and the marine biologist who got killed found out too, so Ganu rushed the launch of the satellite to actually get a full picture of the monster and track it. As for Chuai station, they found the motherload of Seabed nectar and its actually the eggs/Popples (a la Futurama) of MGP. They start harvesting at Chuai, MGP gets pissed, and comes up and follows its eggs to NYC in the tanker.
