[quote]"H...Hi Trent! It's good to see-"[/quote]

The entire ship reeled. Trent's ears were filled with the creaking and splitting of metal. He lost his footing and slipped in the puddle at the base of the stairs. He crashed head-first into the staircase and his vision went blurry. Pain spread across his head like wildfire. He laid stunned for a split second, then slowly rolled onto his forearms. His head throbbed all over, spreading from the point where his head hit the stairs. Everything felt foggy. The corners of his vision blurred. Trent held a hand up to the point where his head struck, just behind his right ear. No blood.

"What was that..." Trent grumbled in a daze. Before anyone could respond, he answered his own question. From a point lower on the ship, Trent felt staggering energy erupt. It was an apparition, and a damn powerful one at that. 

[b]"<Stop milling around! Get on that boat and away from whatever that thing is!>"[/b] Still foggy and in pain, Trent stood and jogged towards the lifeboat, clutching the side of his head. He pushed past the white-haired girl (whose name he did not know) and stepped inside wordlessly. The inside was cramped, filled wall-to-wall with white rubber-covered seats. There was easily enough room for this group and more. Trent looked out of the door towards the others, his usual brand of awkward confusion present on his face. 

"We gotta go, now," he said. "Anyone know how to drive a boat?"
