Captain Michael Bradford

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.

You may not leave this ballroom.

Excuse me?

Captain Bradford

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.

Connor

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.

[Connor approaches the door]

Easy there, fireball, we don't know what's behind there.

Officer
[A tremendous explosion shakes the ballroom as the leaking gas in the galley explodes]

Captain!

Captain Bradford

That felt like the galley.

Officer

The gas shut offs must have malfunctioned.

Captain Bradford

The door seals, will they keep the fire out?

Officer

Yes, Captain.

Captain Bradford

God rest their souls.
