Story Transcript:

Da: I skumringen af en kølig efterårsaften, dybt under byens travlhed, stod Lars, Freja og Mikkel i en dunkel bunker.
En: In the dusk of a cool autumn evening, deep beneath the city's hustle, stood Lars, Freja, and Mikkel in a dim bunker.

Da: Lars kiggede rundt.

En: Mikkel took notes, while Freja searched for pictures and videos online that could illustrate life underground.

Da: Dagene gik.
En: Days passed.

Da: Efterårsvinden blev køligere, og bladene dalede fra træerne, mens de arbejdede.

En: But then a rumble of applause erupted.

Da: Deres lærer roste dem.
