A group of teenagers huddled together, whispering anxiously among themselves. "Do you think it's like this everywhere? Are we going to be okay?" one asked, seeking reassurance in a situation that seemed beyond comprehension.
On the upper deck, a retired soldier stared grimly at the destruction, his expression hardened with resolve. "We need to stay strong and help each other. Now, more than ever," he announced loudly, trying to instill a sense of camaraderie among the shell-shocked passengers.

The ship's captain, recognizing the need for calm, interjected over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, please, return to your cabins. We are in contact with authorities and ensuring your safety. Stay indoors and await further instructions."
