The Experimental Station in Zanzibar is a passing term used to identify a scientific research station in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa.
In the correspondence between the Global Welfare Consortium and The Hanso Foundation, it is clear that the Hanso Foundation have an experimental station in the east African nation of Tanzania on the island of Zanzibar. The letter goes on to state that a new strain of Meningococcal disease has been reported along the costal villages of Tanzania and demands that Hanso represenatives order the opening of the experimental station immediately for inspection in relation to the outbreak. This strain was found to breach the Homo Sapien/Simian species gap and was extremely threatening to human life.
The follow-up letter from the GWC apologetically thanked the Hanso Foundation for their compliance and explained that the research being conducted by the scientists in Zanzibar could, in no way, have caused the disease to mutate. It went on to say that the station only conducted "benign, non-invasive research.
- Note: It should be noted that while the first letter, accusing Hanso, was written by a member of the GWC Executive committee, a Monsieur Jacques Maillot, the second was written by a newly instated Peter Thompson, formly of Hanso Foundation. It is therefore likely that the information about the facility and the findings (if any) by the GWC described in the second letter are false or missleading and that the first letter would give a more accurate theorising about what the station is truly doing.
- This is further backed up by the cynical "The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority" that appears after the second letter, implying that the swift wrapping up of the issue was little more than a coverup.
