Merfriends: Water Safety on the River

"Atlantis calling; can you hear us?"

This'll be your longest call yet with your merfriends as they come with you on a camping trip and river rafting adventure. Only, it turns out to be a bigger adventure than you bargained for when things go sideways and your merfriends' tech fails. What do you do when you fall into a rushing river and Atlantis can't pull you out?

The radio still works, so listen carefully to your merfriends and they will get you through this.
