All right.  We made good time getting those boats launched, everyone.  Good job.

Not done quiet yet, though.  We're not going to lose a single person tonight.

Rescue crews will be mobilizing already, so let's make this nice and easy for them.   Everyone who's still on the Medusa, sound off.  State your current location, what you're doing, any injuries, and anything important you can see about what's happening with the boat.

I'm on the aft deck right now.  Ship's electronics are going out, but I think I can keep the intercom running as long as we're above water.  Since we don't have any red-headed tech whizzes on board that I know of, I'll be co-ordinating and keeping us networked.

Brilliant idea.

Jenny here, in the dining room. We're trying to get the tables out of the ship floor to make some rafts. No one injured this side.

[detectivewonder]

Excellent. How many people do you have with you? If you have someone to spare, send them to the recycling bins for plastic bottles -- best improvised floats you're likely to find.

Minato and my father are here, Haruhi is on her way back. I can send her your way? I know Jack is around here somewhere but I haven't seen him for a while now.

I'll go wherever I'm needed. Just point.

Anywhere you can find balloons, waterbottles... lightweight plastic trash cans. Every gallon of water displaced gives eight pounds of lift. I've heard from at least a dozen people so far, and if we figure a person averages out at a hundred and fifty pounds, before figuring in the eight of the raft and the drag from the sinking boat....

We need a lot of lift.

Not to worry about me, gorgeous. I was helping clear the hallways and finding anything that might help. I found a fireaxe and began taking apart some doors.

It doesn't look good down here.

Jack! Minato's still on the boat, so is Haruhi!

Please....

[detectivewonder]

Don't get yourself drowned. Get anything light and watertight you can find up to the dining room -- door should work great, a lot of surface area is excellent.

[chronosexual]

Yessir. Don't worry about me. I'll be all right.

You've probably had the best view belowdecks of anyone I've talked to so far.

How fast are we filling up?

[twinknife]

... Hey, what about the pool? I think they have a couple of swimming lanes and I know they have a couple of inflatable toys!

[detectivewonder]

Should have thought of that before, that's a great idea. Hurry!

[twinknife]

Got it, we'll detour by the pool room and meet down in the dining room.
