A trusted crew member, Steward, advanced cautiously and watched the polar bear, only 12 feet below, at the request of Captain Reynolds. Palpable tension was felt as the wild animal approached, reminding him of the unpredictable nature of his situation and the risks inherent in confronting the apex predator of the Arctic. Steward responded with a mixture of alacrity and apprehension when Captain Reynolds called for help, his attention divided between the captain’s command and the awesome presence of the polar bear below. Steward was nervous, a human reaction to the unpredictability of his circumstances, accentuated by his uncertain commitment to obtaining the radio, a task that suddenly seemed fraught with importance.

I needed a radio
Reynolds said in a voice full of command and urgency, “Can you bring me the radio or stay here and keep an eye on the bear, reporting any changes?” The two-track approach to handling the situation was emphasized in this directive: close watch while seeking outside expertise, a balance between immediate safety and long-term solution. Captain Reynolds said, “We need to find out what he wants,” which elicited a visible reaction from Steward, who blanched at the thought of the upcoming task. The mention of getting the radio set Steward in motion, and his nervousness showed in his voice as he hurried to comply, realizing the need to talk to others who could explain the bear’s strange behavior.
