Downfall/The lifeboat
From Create Your Own Story
During the emergency drill you were assigned to a lifeboat, along Cate, Debra, Kirsten and Will. A steward leads you to the stern where your lifeboat is located. It should hold more than just the five of you, but a sudden explosion shakes the ship. The steward hastily operates the boom and lowers the boat. He then jumps ship, apparently trying to reach the raft, but he falls short. In the meantime, the ship's lights extinguish, most likely due to the explosion. The ship, still making speed, was the only source of light, and with the lights gone, you suddenly can't see anything. You lose sight of the steward. He doesn't reach the lifeboat, and you soon see absolutely nothing.
Cate's voice sounds reaches you: "The crew must have sent an SOS signal. We're going to be rescued soon. Right, Jules?"
"Sure," you agree, more to stir confidence in your children than believing the statement holds much value.
"Ah!" Cate says. "A flashlight."
She turns the torch on. You both take stock. The lifeboat holds a few supplies, food rations and water, although less than one would expect. There is also a radio, but after a few futile attempts to operate it, you have to realize it is probably broken. The lifeboat appears not well maintained.
"We better save batteries," Cate says. You agree, and she turns off the flashlight. You don't talk; you are too worried. You try to calm Debra who is close to tears, while Will and Kirsten are too quiet, probably in shock. Some time during the night, you doze off.
