you figure out a time that was good for everyone?” Selene asked.
    Nora turned toward her. “Not until the end of the week.”
    “That's a lot of time we're going to be wasting,” Gavin said thoughtfully.
    “ Do we want to go with the second option for the time being?” Zach asked.
    “ What's the second option?” Miko questioned.
    “ The second option is that we form a squad out of everyone here and explore the tunnel,” Zach explained. “We might not be able to cover a ton of ground, but we can at least get started.”
    “ Ah, just like the old days,” Gavin said.
    “ Preferably without the dying,” Xavier interjected.
    “ Why is everyone so fixated on that?” Nora asked.
    “ Getting turned into slurry by a giant chilus is no fun,” Miko said. “Just 'cause you never die...”
    Nora laughed. “I'm sure that it will go a lot better this time. We're smarter and better equipped now.”
    By now the rest had joined in on the conversation.
    “ Yeah, but the enemies we're facing are a lot stronger. The chilus that we ran into in the metro was huge,” Javy said.
    “ Just how big was it?” Selene asked. “It can't be any bigger than the boss we ran into in the overdrive bunker.”
    Javy rubbed the back of his neck. “No, but that thing was a boss. The thing we ran into down there looks like it's a normal enemy, except that its the size of a bus.”
    “So we go in with good equipment and take care of the problem head on,” Gavin said. “We can flame the thing like we did last time. We'll just remember to bring more fuel along.”
    “ I have a bad feeling about this,” Miko said.
    “ Great, now that we have the movie cliché out of the way all that's left to do is go in and die,” Xavier joked.
    Nora shrugged. “Well, it's probably going to be very trial and error. Hopefully we can figure out things so we can give the others some pointers.”
    “Great, guinea pigs again,” Javy commented lightly.
    “ That's where half the fun comes from,” Gavin laughed.
    Nora finished her cup of coffee and stood up to get another. By the time she had finished their interviewer Dr. Unger had arrived.
    “Good morning, everyone,” he greeted them. “This past week has been a very interesting case study for us all, and it's our main focus for today.”
    He took a folder out of his bag and opened it up. Inside were several lists, some pictures and some charts that Nora couldn't quite identify. Dr. Unger took one of the lists and glanced at it.
    “Your capture of the first district inside Indianapolis is of great interest to us. We were quite impressed by your ability to create a cohesive plan and to carry it out in such a short period of time. How were you able to do it?”
    The others looked at each other. Nora thought to herself, uncertain about what to say. To her what they had done was only natural. The Hydra Alliance had organized itself in order to get the job done.
    Xavier spoke up first. “Coordination was key, as always,” he said. “I think that's what separates the powerful organizations in the game from the weaker ones. We don't necessarily have better players, but we can organize them better.”
    “ So you believe that you succeed because you're more cohesive,” Dr. Unger observed.
    “ I've seen it too,” Gavin said. “A lot of people around Old Chicago are saying that we succeeded because we have the best tech, but I'm more inclined to believe that it's because we were able to create a plan and stick to it.”
    “ I think it has to do with command structure,” Selene added. “The smaller companies can fight, but they're involved in small actions. We're able to do well because our command structure gives all the small actions a sense of purpose.”
    “ Is it due to the fact that your command structure works on a different level from that of players on the front lines?” Dr. Unger asked.
    Nora spoke up. “I think it's because of the way our alliance command is structured. We essentially
