"Did you feel the earthquake we had last night?" Keitaro asked Naru.

"No, I must have slept through it," Naru said. "Did the Hinata House take any damage from it?"

"Not exactly," Keitaro the house manager said. "But be careful when you use the bath. The quake opened a deep trench in it."

"How deep?" Naru asked.

Instead of answering, Keitaro gestured to Suu, who stomped up to them in a home-made pressurized articulated deep-sea diving robot. The robot extended an arm and held up a muck-encrusted name-plate that read RMS Titanic.

"I'm never using that bath again," Naru whimpered.
