Rescue Team Whites
The rescue team moves through the Antarctic wastes in identical white uniforms—heavy, layered garments designed for extreme cold, their fabric stiff with frost yet flexible enough for the marines' swift, purposeful movements. The uniforms bear the insignia of the Antarctic Rescue Corps, their stark whiteness contrasting with the endless snow but offering no camouflage against the howling winds. Sarah's initial rejection of their medical kit suggests the whites carry the weight of official response, their presence carrying implicit authority that she resists in her urgency
