Gothic Lines' ferry boat "Annabelle" sliced through the placid waters of the Gothic Sea, its passengers cherishing the picturesque scenery. The day seemed like any other, until an ominous shadow clouded the horizon. The region had become a battleground in the Tarusan Civil War, and the sea was now filled with lurking dangers. Captain Meyer, a seasoned seafarer, remained vigilant. Suddenly, a deafening explosion shattered the serenity. The ferry shook violently, throwing passengers to the ground. Panic erupted as screams filled the air. A drifting mine had found its target. The once peaceful journey had transformed into a nightmare. Chaos reigned as passengers clung to life, scrambling for safety amid the debris. Smoke and flames engulfed the ship, and the sound of tearing metal resonated in the air.

The crew, shocked but resolute, sprung into action. They battled the raging inferno to rescue those trapped within the cabins. As flames danced around them, they searched for survivors, their hearts heavy with the knowledge that not all would be saved. In the midst of the turmoil, passengers fought for their lives. The injured cried out for help, and those who could, offered assistance. Families were torn apart, their hopes for a safe journey shattered. The sea, once a symbol of tranquility, became a merciless abyss. Amidst the chaos, Captain Meyer's voice echoed through the intercom, urging everyone to stay calm. "This is the captain speaking. Please remain calm and follow crew instructions. We will get through this together," he reassured with a trembling voice. As lifeboats were lowered into the water, the harrowing reality became apparent. Some passengers did not survive the blast, their lives tragically cut short. Others were left severely injured, clinging to hope while facing an uncertain fate.

The crew's unwavering dedication shone through the darkness. They fought tirelessly to evacuate the vessel, facing risks to their own lives. They navigated through the smoke-filled passages, determined to leave no one behind. Amidst the turmoil, a written SOS message was broadcast on International Distress Channel 16, pleading for assistance. "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! This is Gothic Lines Annabelle in the Gothic Sea on International Distress Channel 16. We have struck a mine, taking on water, and require immediate assistance. Passenger safety is at grave risk. Please, anyone nearby, respond to our distress call. Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!". The SOS message resonated across the airwaves, reaching beyond the boundaries of the Gothic Sea. The distress call echoed in the hearts of the Ostmarkians, mobilizing the nation's emergency response units into immediate action. At the coastal headquarters of the Ostmarkian Coast Guard, alarms blared and lights flashed as the emergency was declared. The dedicated men and women of the Kustenwache sprang into motion with unparalleled efficiency.

Patrol boats were swiftly deployed, their hulls slicing through the waves with purpose. Skilled maritime officers navigated the treacherous waters, drawing closer to the stricken "Annabelle". Their eyes scanned the horizon for any signs of life, while their hearts yearned to reach the passengers in need. Above, the rhythmic thumping of rotors filled the air as SAR helicopters lifted off from their landing pads. Equipped with searchlights and cutting-edge technology, these aerial guardians soared across the sky, scanning the sea below for any signs of distress. Communication between the patrol boats and helicopters was seamless, each vessel updating the other with crucial information. The clock ticked relentlessly, but the Kustenwache's resolve remained steadfast. Lives were at stake, and they would not rest until every soul on the "Annabelle" was accounted for.
