I'm wondering the personalities of the people in the sub, do you think there's somebody in there trying to like Mumble a song to themselves to cope all other person just freaks out as the captain's trying to put the batteries in the controller and out of the controller and back and forth either they're on the loving ocean floor

Or do you think it went full instant Lord of the flies and the captain just killed everyone inside of the vessel to give himself food and oxygen because he went one too many on the alpha male books

Which is odd, since sales (especially of that particular controller) are up.

Must be trading bots seeing Logitech and catastrophic failure on news articles.

I wouldn't be surprised but lol how stupid would that be if it was related. Sorry the 30 dollar knockoff controller from 2006 didn't pull the wildly unsafe seacoffin out of danger.

There is a possibility that they made it down to the Titanic and got stuck on the ship and can't surface because the Submersible was designed poorly. Assuming that's the case, and someone decides to send down a robot to find them, will anyone bother to bring the bodies back to the surface? Seems like a risky waste of time.

Possibly, if the groversub got stuck in a way that a robot DSV with manipulator arms can easily free it, they'd do it just to know exactly how it happened.

But no way the bodies are ever recovered without the whole groversub being recovered.

I feel like killing someone in that environment would make it worse as decomp sets in fast and it fills with corpse gas which is then toxic. Definitely better off having 5 people breathing.

Seems like they brought the wrong son on board.

Although I don't know anything about the other kid, maybe he's also a sex pest creep who would party and try to gently caress strangers to celebrate cope with his billionaire dad dying and leaving behind a huge inheritance.

there is a zero percent chance that his dad wasn't awful but the kid was only 19, probably wasn't himself a monster yet
