The meeting went on until the middle of the afternoon, with a break for a working lunch that was more about getting things done than socializing. Then, as Valentina had said before, they got back together for the operational planning session.
Rex learned the most from operational planning, which showed him the network's plans and the data he needed to navigate.
The primary operational objective for the next ninety days was the location of Mordecai's underground stronghold. Everything else was secondary to this, because the network's doctrine held that mobile threat actors could be managed, but entrenched threat actors with population-level resources required neutralization at the source.
Rex listened to the location methodology's development and calculated how long it would take to produce useful intelligence based on the network's knowledge.
