What we know about the missing Sub

For whatever reason this story has absolutely grabbed my attention, and so I will be compiling the information that I can confirm in a decent timeline of events, feel free to message me if y'all feel like something needs to be changed/revised

• A company known as OceanGate offers dives to view the wreck of the Titanic, charging 250,000 USD per ride. This sub is not approved by any regulatory body, and is controlled with an xbox controller. The inside is a small tube one would have to sit down to fit inside.
• It is not a regular sub, but a submersible, which does not have the power to lauch itself and return on it’s own, but instead must be launched and retrieved by a mothership. Thus, constant communication is of the utmost importance.
• 4 AM, June 18th, an expedition begins. Confirmed passengers are a pilot, a “Content Expert,” Businessman Hamish Harding (who posted the linked instragram post,) and two other passengers who are as yet unconfirmed.

• Communications with the sub are lost 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive.
• The US and Canadian coast guard begin working together to try and find the sub. The vessel has an advertised 96 hours of oxygen.
• The instagram post earlier is found by CNN, although they do not yet divulge who posted it. They reach out to OceanGate for comment and get none.
• An additional vessel is dispatched to assist in the search.
• The US Coast Guard holds a press conference where they discuss the difficulties in locating the vessel in the remote area it dove into.
• Coast Guard surmises that there is 70 to 96 hours of oxygen remaining, although this was reported abt ten hours ago, so it’s more like 60 to 86 now.
• The coast guard also begins a twitter thread which they are continually updating. They have completed two flights over the area but have not found anything, they will dispatch another plane in the morning.
• OceanGate claims to be taking “every step possible” to recover the missing vessel.
• Twitter user Kenny Sharpe realizes that he had seen the vessel being towed out to it’s expedition and posts photos that he took.

• LITERALLY FOUND THIS AS I WAS GETTING SOURCES, Daily Mail claims that the other two passengers are businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, but given DM’s dubious journalistic integrity (to put it nicely,) I would take this claim with a grain of salt until other sources confirm it.

I will update this as more info becomes available, feel free to message me with sources if you know anything.

confirmed: passengers include the CEO of ocean gate, a British businessman Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman (Pakistan citizens), Paul-Henri Nargeolet (a titanic researcher), and an unnamed pilot.

conversation between the ghost & the chariot

[Excerpt from transcript of Day One]

VEHICLE 421-D: Passenger, wake up.

I: Wha- [unintelligible] ? 

VEHICLE 421-D: Passenger, you must wake up.

I: What’s happening?

VEHICLE 421-D: There has been a collision. 

I: What’s that sound?

VEHICLE 421-D: Error. There is no sound. Passenger, you have been injured.

I: I can’t feel my legs.

VEHICLE 421-D: Passenger, the cerebral ciugum has been damaged. I cannot access your current health status.

I: What does that mean?

VEHICLE 421-D: The cerebral ciugum that links my systems to the outer level of your cerebrum has–

I: Fuck, I get that! Condense, please!

VEHICLE 421-D: Your legs, Passenger. Can you move them?

I: I think so. There, did you feel that?

VEHICLE 421-D: Negative, Passenger. There was no movement.

I: Shit, fuck! And I can barely hear you over that goddamn noise–

VEHICLE 421-D: Passenger, there is no noise–

I: Alright. Stay calm. What now? Can you call for help?

VEHICLE 421-D: My communications system has been damaged.

I: Fuck! What can we do?

VEHICLE 421-D: Passenger, my navigation and maneuvering systems are failing. You may be able to initiate the manual overdrive, but this would require the use of your arms and legs.

I: And I can’t move my legs, which means what? A spine injury?

VEHICLE 421-D: I cannot access your current health–

I: You can’t see what’s wrong with me, I know, I’m just asking for your expert opinion.

VEHICLE 421-D: Error. Passenger, I am a machine. I do not have an opinion.

I: You’re in my head 24/7, which makes you an expert. Do you think I have a spine injury?

VEHICLE 421-D: Perhaps.

I: What do you recommend?

VEHICLE 421-D: My galactic positioning system seems to still be intact. Eventually, we will be located.

I: How long do you think I’ll last?

VEHICLE 421-D: The human body can survive without food for twenty-one days. Seven days without water, but your brain will suffer long-term effects. 

I: I still have my arms; maybe I can cut myself out of the rig. Can you disengage gravity?

VEHICLE 421-D: Negative. Can you move your arms, Passenger?

I: What are you talking about? I’m moving them right now.

VEHICLE 421-D: Negative. There has been no movement beyond the exhalation of air.

there’s loads of fanfiction based around the fact of Damian calling Tim ‘Drake’ and Tim’s pissed about it because he’s a Wayne but just once I’d like it flipped on its head and have Tim pissed off that he’s calling him Drake because that’s what his civilian friends call him and ‘you’re not my friend Damian’

now Damian is forced to decide between ‘call him Wayne and people will think he’s my brother’ and ‘call him Wayne and people will think he’s my friend’

he will not do a combination, Damian will find the lesser of two evils, calling him Tim is admitting defeat and Timothy is a terrible name-

Dick: now I am really proud of you for not purposely annoying Tim

Damian: I sense a ‘but’ coming, spit it out

Dick: why are you looking at his family history?

Damian: if I can’t call him Drake or Wayne-

Dick: -I can guarantee you that you can

Damian: and I refuse to call Jackson, I shall find his mothers maiden name to call him that instead

Dick: I don’t even know what Janet’s-

Damian: nevermind this will do

…

Tim: Damian >:(

Damian: winters >:(

Dick:…I mean it’s progress

Damian finding the names of every disguise Tim has ever worn as a backup plan:

Tim would probably then go “You know, the fact you go so far out of your way to annoy me could be a sign of brotherly affection.” And Damien just. Blows a fuse.

Canonically, Clark and Dick are really close, right? I’m just saying it would be the funniest thing if when Dick knows his brothers are up to some shit but he’s busy, he just calls up Clark to drag them out of it.

Like imagine you’re the big, bad, Red Hood, busting a smuggling ring, then SUPERMAN shows up, DOES YOUR JOB IN TEN SECONDS, and is like, “N wanted me to make sure you’re safe”. Superman raises an eyebrow and Jason hangs his head and lets himself be picked up. He loses at least half of his street cred that day and he delivers another eight heads in a duffle bag to make up for it

Red Robin is fucking with the League of Assassins solo, way over his head, then FUCKING SUPERMAN shows up, one-shots everyone, then proceeds to pick up Red Robin like a scruffed kitten and start lecturing him about the importance of backup. What can you do except literally just take it? Tim’s as red as a tomato because he tried to do something solo for ONCE and got fucking embarrassed for it. Lesson learnt, never again.

When it comes down to Damian? Dick just sends Jon. Jon doesn’t even ask—he literally just picks Damian up by his underarms and flies off with him, entirely unimpressed. He inherited the Super-patented tolerance to Bat nonsense™️ and refuses to listen to whatever BS reason Damian has for putting himself into another death tournament. Damian’s fuming, but he knows full well that if he gives attitude, Jon will just drop him off in the middle of nowhere.

They’re constantly teased for needing a Kryptonian babysitting service to keep them in line in the cape community and very much resent Dick for it. Dick is completely unapologetic, and only feels slight regret when Bruce sends Clark to get him once because, “thank you, Uncle Clark—oh my GOD, BRUCE, I’VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS YOU, I CAN HANDLE MYSELF-” and his siblings are laughing because sweet, sweet, karma.
