Sitrep

Many transmissions travel between people during a war. Some are proud proclamations of loyalty, others desperate messages to loved ones just before death. All of them are important. It is your task to create such a moment.

Reminder: AI-generated entries are NOT allowed
Each team must create a transcript of who did what in the team (not everyone needs to do voices, but everyone has to do a part of the entry)
This competition offers double clusters
Any AI entries will be disqualified
