Pam with her enhanced senses was the first to notice something was off. Her first officer moments later. She followed him as he grabbed a pair of binoculars and scanned the horizon. She looked out and could see with the naked eye the biggest wave she'd ever seen in her life. It rose across the whole length of the horizon, threatening to cover the moon. And it was coming straight for her.

"No..." She breathed, pushing past the officer and running to the control console. "Hard to starboard! Starboard engines full astern!" She cried. "Starboard engines full astern." came the reply. Her first officer sprung into action, grabbing the control stick. "I got it! I got it!" He jerked it hard to the right. "Turn. Come on baby, turn!" Pam joined him, standing over his shoulder. She put as much will into obeying his command as she could but there was only so much she could do. She was a bystander like the rest of them.

"Bow thrusters!" She screeched. "Bow thrusters full starboard." Came the reply as another officer grabbed the thruster controls. "Sounding general alarm." Pam said, hitting the button. The loud blare sounded throughout the ship and she sensed it when the party in the ballroom stopped. "All crew report to your emergency stations. This is not a drill! All passengers brace for immediate and heavy rolls. I repeat this is not a drill!" She switched off the intercom. "Brace yourselves boys, this is gonna be rough!" She warned. Inwardly she thought "Last voyage indeed." Poseidon was too big a ship to be expected to turn bow on before the wave hit but she'd managed to come around 30 degrees. It wasn't enough.

The wave struck with her still mostly side on, picking up the liner and curling. It smashed all the windows on her starboard side, crushing the lifeboats. Emergency backup rafts deployed automatically, being carried away from the ship. Steel plates groaned and buckled as water rushed in from above, now below as the ship rolled on her side. The bridge crew were protected as the reinforced windows took the brunt of the waves force. Then one of the davits came loose. Meant for lowering cargo into the forward hold, the crane broke free of its mountings and swung wildly, its arm impacting against the bridge. Water poured in as the glass shattered, instantly drowning everyone.
Except Pamela.

The kanmusu struggled to get her bearings as the feeling of vertigo, brought on by her violent roll, threatened to overcome her. As a kanmusu, she could survive longer underwater but that didn't mean she could hold her breath forever. She had to find a way out. People elsewhere about the ship were still alive. And they needed her help to get out. Her life was forfeit only after she helped them! Somehow, in the sea of bubbles and flashing lights, she found her way to the door. A well placed kick knocked it down and gave her a way out. A surge of water carried her into the hallway where she managed to maneuver her way to a stairway and climb free of the torrent. She made her way up, which used to be down, to the main set of stairs that would take her into the ballroom.

The watertight doors had yet to be closed but that would be changed very soon. She hoped her captain had the sense to keep the ballroom dry. As long as it held, the ship would float. Pam's only concern were its windows. They weren't designed to take being 100 feet underwater. She could only hope they'd hold long enough for rescue. She'd managed to arm Poseidon's EPIRP before she left the bridge which meant that rescue was on its way. But she gave it several hours before they'd arrive on scene.

Soaking wet and leaving a trail of water behind her, Pamela limped her way into the ballroom and into a scene of utter chaos!
