* SnakesAreSinister: When Loffler releases Walsh's animals after he escapes, the thing that most worries the passengers and crew--after the 400 lb jaguar--is the two bushmaster snakes. The crew point out that a ship has countless small spaces they could hide in, and Walsh says they will head for the warmest, moistest pace on the ship: the engine room. Later, Captain Morales gets bitten on the leg in the engine room.
