“Get me the radio, will you? Either that, or stay here and keep a close eye on the bear so you can report its behavior,” Captain Reynolds instructed, his gaze never leaving the animal. “We need to establish what it wants.” He noticed Steward visibly pale at the suggestion. “I… I’ll get the radio, Sir,” the crewman replied, attempting to steady his voice but failing to hide his nervousness as he quickly scurried off, eager to complete the task before the captain reconsidered and left him with the bear instead.
