Peter nodded, his heart pounding with emotion. “We’re going to make it,” he said, more to himself than to Dr. Jensen. The crew on board had seen the beacon signal, a glimmer of light amid the chaos. For Peter and Dr. Jensen, it was a moment of disbelief accompanied by overwhelming relief. As it drew closer, the sound of the engines grew louder, drowning out the roar of the storm.
As Peter and Dr. Jensen made their way toward the helicopter, the thumping rhythm of the rotor blades cutting through the chilly air awakened a glimmer of hope in them. The crew of the helicopter, dressed in their flight suits and helmets, waved frantically, signaling the urgency of the moment. “Hurry up! Time is running out!” shouted a crew member, his voice barely audible above the whirlwind the helicopter was creating.
