      Yeah, but you know... H.R. is who you go to first and they're supposed to be on your side but uhhhh... everyone knows they scratch the company's back. 🤷
      OSHA is your next step but all they do is hand out hundred thousand dollar fines that's literally chump change for these kinds of companies.
      eeeeeeeEEEEEEEeeehhh... it's a lose-lose if you ask me. Take your cardboard pizza party and company logo embossed keychain and be happy you didn't draw the short straw and have to participate in The Carousel.

      usually in these kinds of scenarios, it turns out that either
      1. the corpos are well aware but think it's cheaper to just hide it away and just make everyone follow these rules. not sure how anyone not sued
      them yet
      2. the corpos are aware, have tried different ways, even contacted the govt or some form of outside help, and found out that following these rules is the only feasible thing to do without ruining everything. at least here, they tried.
      3. the corpos are purposefully ignoring the issue, thinking of it as the workers being delusional. usually they have enough wealth to simply pay whatever lawsuits is thrown their way and are content with the fact that the job will always attract desperate people who are willing to ignore such dangerous if it means getting paid, making the issue of findng another warm body to do the job solve itself

      I used to live in Scotland and know some people who had worked on the piper alpha, probably the most infamous rig prior to the deep blue horizon - ooops, wasn’t 100% sure of the name, looked it up & it’s the deep water horizon, and it happened in 2010, so shocked that was 14 years ago - anyway, the piper alpha obviously reverberated through the community. One anecdote that has stuck with me was that the heat was so intense, it was melting helicopter windows.
      Spooky monster stories are nowhere as frightening as the banality of (human) evil, and the callous indifference of late-stage capitalism corporations.

    Hmmm so here’s my interpretation, whatever is down there, probably a kraken or something akin to it is influencing the rig in a lovecraftian sense
    Because of the oil rig is connected to it the rig has become a part of it, I won’t say the rig is alive but whatever eldritch creature elder god thing is down there, it’s almost like the rig is a part of it
    Remember Jean said to wear the pin to show your a part of it, almost like you could say the pin makes you a white blood cell in a sense
    The red door my guess is that it leads to the “heart” of the rig? So that’s why oil seeped out of it for days after it had been opened like a cut or something?
    The drilling platform is maybe it’s voice? Why would it want to hear other voices when it’s the only one that should be speaking?
    Don’t look East because that is where it’s gazing maybe?
    Wednesday is when it feeds?
    The 7th to me is what ties it together because it’s got such a powerful hold and influence over the crew by this point they commit the sacrifice with their many hands, almost like a krakens many tentacles reaching out for its prey…
    Just my interpretation though I enjoyed this story and maybe sully should see about getting a job at a grocery store or I bet the zoo down the street from barnabys is hiring, maybe a lonely old radio station needs a new DJ?

    As someone who has worked on offshore oil rigs, TLP’s, SPARs, & Derrick barges for 27 years, the author paints a pretty accurate account of life in the oil field. Minus the supernatural portion of course. Unless you count all the damn Gravity defying capsules and ball shaped objects seen exiting and entering the water with no disturbance to the surface tension. I seen my first one when I was 23 years old and working on the DB 50 in the Vermillion Bay Area of the GOM. It had such an effect on my sense of “world as we know it “ state of mind, it started me on a journey for truth that listening to this channel and others like it is a fortuitous result of my interest in the unexplained.

  • @DraconiusDragora
    @DraconiusDragora 6 месяцев назад +1

    So there is a bit of connections, and some possible aspects to what and why the rules are as they are.
    Rules of Survival:
    1) Always keep the Silver Pin, with a depiction of what I presume is a Kraken attacking/eating a whale.
    Note he states: It makes it so *they* know you are part of the crew, *they* can't take you before your time.
    This is heavily implies that there is something, that will take, and kill crew members without the pins.
    2) Never open, walk in, or even touch the single Red Door.
    Take note, that Joe who went in there, and after some time, it started to leak oil.
    3) Don't look at or into the eastern ocean after sunset.
    Description of what he saw, was likely the thing that produces the oil, raising up out of the water.
    4) Do not speak unless spoken too, at/in the drill room.
    This is likely, to make sure the Kraken, doesn't hear you, and well hone in on you and make you a snack.
    5) No red meat on Wednesdays.
    Most likely, the Chefs feeding whatever else is on the rig, so they don't get hunted.
    6) Always respond to the bell when it rings 3 times.
    As they head into a Safe Room, this is very obvious, whatever is outside, is hungry, and is searching for food.
    7) Everyone joins the Raffle.
    With what/how one of the managers reacted before, when it came to this rule, fear, means it is something they have to do.
    This is likely a way to bind whatever lives there in place. As it becomes like a binding peace offering every 3 months.
    ---
    There is many things the Raffle can be, it can also be what becomes the red meat later. And the description of everyone being quite anxious, and sad, knowing fully, they have to either tear a human apart, or ritualistic cannibalism to keep whatever else is on the rig at bay. It as said can mean a lot of things.
    The chefs can also be the things as the "they". We don't really get to know more than them being chefs.
