Now we're not sure exactly what happened here, but our best guess is that we were struck by what is known as a rogue wave. They are rare, they are unpredictable, and they are lethal, Now the good news. The instant this ship was struck, emergency GPS locater beacons were launched, so we are at most, several hours from rescue. [People start to panic; a few ask if the ship is sinking] Please, do yourselves a favor. Follow the directions of my officers, and stay calm. This room is a giant air bubble holding up the ship. Once these bulkhead doors are sealed, we will be safe from gas leaks, fire, and flooding. We will be saved.

1 sceneYou may not leave this ballroom.
Excuse me?
I am within my authority to compel you to stay, you know that.
Captain, I understand- you have no choice. You have sick and injured people here, you need to stay with them. [Bradford nods] But I am going to find my daughter, and don't think for one second that you're going to stop me.

What are you doing?
Thinking, you?
Connor
Thinking, what are we thinking about exactly?
Well, I'm thinking of this door, and what's behind it.
Officer
[A tremendous explosion shakes the ballroom as the leaking gas in the galley explodes]
Captain!
That felt like the galley.
Officer
The gas shut offs must have malfunctioned.
The door seals, will they keep the fire out?
Officer
Yes, Captain.
God rest their souls.
