The coastguard’s confirmation that they had no experience of this type of incident came as a blow. “Is there nothing else you can do?” Clair pleaded over the radio, her voice laced with frustration. “I’m afraid not,” was the grim reply. The reality of the situation hit the team as the waves crashed against the boat, making everything even more real and oppressive. The team members exchanged worried glances, feeling more isolated than ever. It was clear that they were on their own, and the weight of Ethan’s increasingly desperate situation enveloped everyone.

Clair’s sudden idea
While despair gripped the team, Clair’s mind searched for a way out. Suddenly, an idea appeared like a spark. “Wait! What if we tried something they do with trained whales?” she said, with renewed determination. The team turned to her, perplexed, but with a thread of hope growing. “Maybe we can’t talk to the whale, but we can influence its behavior!” she quickly explained, inspired by all the nature documentaries she had ever watched. With each word, despair turned to hope as she outlined her plan.
