Concepts & Originality 4/5
The story premise is neat and interesting (a follow up from the last 2 jams I believe?). I like a story about different, even opposing, groups working together to survive and growing in respect as a result. I feel like the motivations of the human captain are a bit under-explored, but that is probably due in part to the short word limit.
Flow & Clarity 2/5
The story gets a bit difficult to follow in the switching between past tense and present tense, and the changes in perspective between characters. Some exposition is repeated (we hear about the Captain's condition from the messenger, the pack leader, then again from the Captain himself) which muddles the pacing as well. Another editing pass to tighten up the pacing and clean up the grammatical errors could do wonders.
Adherence to Theme 3/5
I appreciate that the resources in question are the "rival" crew/captains, and I think you've done fine with that theme. I just think there is some opportunity to lean into it more or do something a bit more "outside-the-box" with it.
