[b]Engine Room[/b]

Suichiro sat up slowly and with a weak wince. Lying on stiff boards with no cushioning wasn't comfortable in any way. He stretched slowly, first wondering how he ended up sleeping on the floor. Then he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar room. "Eh?"

He stood up and dusted himself off of some splinters. He could tell from the gentle rocking motion that he was on a ship of some sort, but when did he get here? He had gone to sleep at home with his wife, not here. He scanned the room and noticed he wasn't alone. There were four others. He wearily walked over to what clearly was a device for communicating to the other decks. He flicked the switch on and spoke into the device. "Hello?" He didn't really expect anyone to respond, at least not anyone on the other end of the pipes. He could hope that someone was there to explain what was going on at least.

He paced around not too far from the communication pipes waiting for someone to say something. He stopped briefly to look inside of the horn before he resumed waiting for a response.
