Nobody likes their sleep disturbed, and the isolated, deep sea oil rig's constant drilling into the sea bed, was about to face the consequences of disturbing the rest of a creature they had no idea dwelt there. The battering the rig was getting from the violent storm, was nothing from the assault that was about to happen!

I'm a kraken pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a tenticle below me knee!

Krakens as described in popular myth could not have existed. It would have taken some extreme genetic mutation for a creature of that description to evolve. Such a mutation would have required a catalyst such as atomic radiation which did not exist prior to World War Two -Emile Gargon, the Cousteau Society

BBC News World: The country of India has been fined by the International Atomic Energy Commission for improperly disposing of nuclear waste. They have been dumping trash, including nuclear waste off uninhabited parts of their coastline. This waste will have washed into the coastal estuaries having deadly or unexpected effects on the marine life that use these estuaries as breeding grounds and habitats for the developing life. An international hazardous waste team has been dispatched to the remote region...

CNN International, New Delhi A hazmat team comprised of volunteers from several countries has been reported missing. They were on an area of India's coast suspected of containing nuclear waste. The captain of their ship reported that a crew of 6 men set out on two Zodiac rafts into the backwaters of the coast but have not been heard from in several days. Additional search crews are arriving to aid in the search.

The creature relished the taste of the human flesh. Long had it been growing in this stagnant backwater eating fish, birds and anything else it could grab. Now it was time to head out to the open ocean to find more victims and to GROW!
