Named alliance: The Pentagon. Core inside the bigger structure; useful as cover until everyone could feel the bottom.

Named alliance: Barbershop. Early Matt-side structure; helps explain why week one felt overplayed quickly.

Working bond: Sixth Avenue. Tucker, T’kor, Kimo, Rubina, with Angela in the fish-tank shorthand receipt; a middle counter-structure trying to become real.

Working bond: Visionaries. Quinn, T’kor, and Kimo lane; mattered because information kept moving through it.
