Tongue Twister:
How can
search &
rescue teams rescue
the searched ??
End the Hank!
FTL shows every way

Search & rescue teams
 Their performance is vital!
 They need: time, point and direction to go.
 They need to be encouraged, helped.
 FTL will help them.
The answer:
 They said “Uncle Google enough already!”

We said “No, it doesn’t help.”
 They asked “What is the difference?”

We said “Join the adventure.”
