Choose Your Own Adventure Journey Under the Sea Alternate Endings Part 33
The Death that results from rejecting the laser pistol option in CHOICE #41 gives the reader false hope at first.
"You faint, and when you come to, you are floating on the surface of the ocean. There is a heavy ocean swell and the sun beats down on you. The whirlpool must have stopped as quickly and mysteriously as it began. You feel dizzy and exhausted and you move gently to make sure you haven't broken any bones. As you move your head slowly inside your helmet you feel an intense pain shooting across your right temple.
You have to be very still then and gradually your ears pick up the thrum of the search helicopter. You don't dare move to look, but as the minutes go by, the thrum gets louder and slowly disappears. The helicopter has passed over you. It won't return this way. The pain in your temple increases. You begin to lose consciousness. THE END".
The Helicopter of Disappointment doesn't even have to be shot down in order to fail to rescue the player. No illustration either.
(One YouTube video says "helicopters in games crash as often as Windows Vista trying to sync iTunes". Even Subnautica does this in a way when the rescue spaceship is shot down by the automated anti-aircraft cannon.)

"I wonder what that even looks like, a robot body with six or seven CatClaw daggers sticking out of it and nothing else, and zooming around at crazy agility speed."
