Any thoughts about what was going on at Rig J-61 and what it's secret could be?

My initial thought was that it was a rendition site. Then I thought maybe it was a smuggling operation for weapons

I thought weapons but >2 bhabeck: has an interesting idea about rendition.

What's rendition?

I thought it might be the HQ for the people Forsythe is working for.

>4 Sergeirocks: Rendition is when a country that doesn't allow torture sends captured soldiers/spies/etc to other friendly countries where the political/intelligence people are willing to extract the information by any means. The CIA has been accused of rendition when dealing with some of the enemy combatants from the Taliban

It's a good thought Brenda, it is certainly something they wanted to keep hidden! I'm not really sure what is going on here.

At first, I thought it was the Oregon that he landed on but when they pushed him into the ocean, I knew I must be wrong.
