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.

When the ship goes under, it will create and inescapable whirlpool to pull any stragglers along with it. We need to get these makeshift rafts as far from the ship as possible before that happens.

I know.

I don't know if we can build a big enough raft for everyone in, and launch it early enough to get away. I'm trying to work the math on it, but... too many people and variables to figure it out for sure.
