Two things happen at once. Remember the one-minute warning you rigged the Land Rover to blast before the time window opens? If you thought it was loud at midnight in a quiet residential neighborhood, it's even worse now. AAOOOGGHAAA! AAOOOGGHAAA! AAOOOGGHAAA! booms clear across the lake and boomerangs back at a volume guaranteed to wake the pterosaurs from the dead. The good news is that this means the launch window will open on time.
The bad news is that the cacophony is met not with the pain-filled squawks of a pterosaur or the fear-inducing screeches of the troodontids, but with a terrifying bellow. You and Brett have heard this noise before out on the windswept plains, and you can never forget it.
"Oh no," your friend groans, confirming the queasiness in the pit of your stomach.
