Wait! ...What’s that?
More insanity!
Everyone knows the Titanic never made it to New York!
It sank on its maiden voyage... The ‘unsinkable’ Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. A thousand people perished in the icy North Atlantic. But not in THIS reality. Not in this—
FELIX?!?
What?!?
The caption read ‘Midshipman Theodore Silverberg and passenger’
This was too weird. I had to get back to the apartment.

We learned about the Titanic in grade school.
When did it hit that fateful hunk of ice? April, wasn’t it? ...April 14th 1912!
I’ve seen that date before!
April 14th, 1912. The same date!

There was a red button beside the grip.
What was Felix up to in this secret lab?
What was this device?

I could feel the thrum of the engines as I ran upwards.
I needed to be out of that room. I needed air.
I needed to see for myself where I was WHEN I was...
I needed to be—
GLURGG!!
Apologies. The side effects of time travel.

In all this craziness, at least one thing was certain...
...I was out of time.
Ahem. Sir?
I’m afraid there is a dress code on the First Class deck.
Wait. What date is it? The date? 14th April, sir. Sunday.
Eh... of course.
14th April! Tonight this ship hits an iceberg - and sinks!
Excuse me.
I had to find Felix, and fast!
