    After investigation, Ocean Builders determined that the toppling was caused by a bilge pump malfunction that threw off the balance of a steel spar in the prototype and caused it to flood.

      they probably want the end users to pay a subscription to keep the seapod upright, kinda like those luxury car heated seats

      if your subscription lapses, you get dunked

      not a bug ... a feature (for passive income)
