...down here it was comprised of a core at the Village with several of these brilliant satellites in orbit. Team Johnson, with Michael and his golden shoes, was headquartered at a hotel, Team Marion was out in a suburb called Bankstown and the Greene Team, itself a subset of HSI, had a beach rental.

With a greater need to store memories for the long haul, these creatures would need to ensure that the engrams weren't disrupted by interloping new cells...
