"Still playing coy with me, haha… Alright, let's not just stand around. Time to move." With that, Captain Shaw took out his walkie-talkie and started assigning tasks.
The volunteer team had nothing to do for the moment, so they waited quietly on the side.
The rescue team unloaded five lifeboats from their vehicles. They started by transporting some emergency supplies across. Fortunately, the horizontal distance to the mountain on the other side wasn't far; a round trip took only about twenty minutes. When they were carrying lighter supplies, they could also ferry one person over.
The volunteer team let the doctors cross first, as there was a risk of an epidemic on the mountain, and medical assistance was needed.
After waiting from morning until afternoon, Claire Sinclair finally boarded a lifeboat heading for the mountain on the other side.
Once on the mountain, Claire Sinclair regrouped with the other volunteers and walked uphill to serve the disaster victims.
