issues when planning a large scale operation in World at War.  Organizing the entire alliance, or even just a company was a massive undertaking. Everyone had to find a time that worked with their schedule, and that was almost impossible.
    Black Wolf Company had stopped trying to get the entire company together under anything but the most important of circumstances. Instead, they tried to get as many players as they could and would reorganize accordingly. So far they had managed to be fairly successful.
    It might not be a major problem anyhow. They didn't need massive forces for a reconnaissance mission in such a tightly restricted area; in fact they might be able to get by with just a squad, but they needed some insurance just in case.
    That gave Zach an idea, though. The original members of Black Wolf Company were on pretty much every day, since they were being paid to take part in a study of the virtual game world. They could easily organize themselves into a single squad to do some recon work when the others weren't available, and they could probably pick up stragglers from some of the other players that were on at the same time.
    “ Might not be the most efficient use of resources, but that does sound like a lot of fun,” Nora said after he brought up his thought.
    Danny leaned back in his chair and grinned. “Ah, back to the old days, when it was just eight of us getting our faces melted off by a giant chilus.”
    “No, they got lucky, remember?” Selene pointed out.
    “ Yeah, how come I got killed when you were sitting right next to me and didn't even get a scratch?” Danny said to Nora.
    “ Well, I'm not the one who decided to carry machine guns all the time,” Nora shrugged.
    “ We're taking a flamethrower with us again,” Zach said.
    Selene shot him an amused look. “Right. Why, do you want to deal with another elevator filled with chilus without one?”
    “I'm going to go with no on that one,” he replied.
    Nora was typing up a message in her menu. “OK, I'm going to see what dates and times fit with everyone's schedule. I'll try to compile a list of them all.”
    Zach looked over at Selene and Danny. “Can you guys make sure that we have all the arms and equipment we'll need for the mission?”
    “ Sure. What are you going to do?” Selene asked.
    Zach sighed. “I have to get this thing approved by command. Joy.”
    Danny grinned at him. “No time like the present. Have fun and give everyone our loving regards.”
    Zach snorted and stood up. “Yeah, yeah, go count bullets or something.”

    Nora took a drink from her coffee cup. She had been up late last night and wanted to be awake for the interview session today.
    The rest of the group was chatting idly with each other. Danny was talking with Xavier and Javy and Zach and Selene were laughing about something.
    “ Tunnel exploration, huh?” Miko asked. “I'm hoping that it goes better than some of the other times.”
    “ We've been pretty successful,” Nora said. “We've gotten a lot of schematics that way.”
    “ I'm more concerned with not dying,” Miko said.
    “ We are a lot better off than we were back then,” Gavin said.
    Nora paused for a moment. “We haven't done a lot of exploration in a while.” Karen's squad had been the last team to explore a bunker.
    “It's not like we really had the time,” Gavin pointed out. “We spent a lot of time gearing up for the attack on the bastion, and then we had to deal with the city.”
    “ Plus all the stuff up north,” Miko added.
    “ Speaking of up north, how is that holding up?” Nora asked her. Miko had spent time sniping the commanders of smaller companies that were beginning to side with Ragnarok.
    She laughed. “They get our point. They don't like it, but I think we managed to push a lot of them into Ronin's camp, since they can't support Ragnarok but they don't want to support us.”
    “That's good, at least,” Nora agreed.
    “ Hey Nora, did
