This isn't a rescue scenario, but related. What if there were two rescues that overlapped, but required different machines to effect the rescues? Like the mine collapse and an ocean rescue. That would need TB2 to leave the pod for the first one, fly back to get the pod with the tools for the second one, then fly to the second rescue. Precious time would be lost.
Or even two rescues at nearly the same time, but far apart that necessitated the same equipment, like rescue calls from two oceans (Pacific & Atlantic, Atlantic and Indian, etc.).
At some point, someone could comment on this, suggesting a need for a few smaller pods and equipment to go in them, and a smaller version of TB2 to transport the pods. These could be kept, perhaps, on Mateo Island.
Food for thought for a future post or three.

From scuppy3
How about a mine accident? An explosion or something, which blocks or buries the mine shafts. There's plenty of mines around the world (and in Australia) to use.
My aunt used to live in Coober Pedy, South Australia, which is well known in Australia for its opal mines, and where the people live underground. My aunt used to tell Mum how when there was a sandstorm, they would be buried under a thick layer of dust (keeping the house clean was difficult!)
So... perhaps some major accident plus a sandstorm in the area? Would that bring IR around?It probably would, scuppy. We had a sandstorm rescue in the Sahara. The mines in Australia remind me of Cry Wolf when The Hood trapped Tony and Bob down one.
A sensational new metal is found somewhere? In their haste to mine it and cash in, safety is looked over, and smooshy goes the mine?
