The Lifeboat Exodus


You haul the brass launch-levers as steam screams through the airlock chambers. Pod after pod fires into the black, copper hulls glinting like seeds scattered from a dying flower. A widow presses her child into your arms; a porter weeps as he seals a hatch on strangers.

Only one pod remains. The corridor groans. Choose, Engineer. Choose now.


Stay behind to launch the final pods manually
Board the last pod and trust the ship to its fate
Go Back

? Some captains go down with their ship — others live to tell the tale.
