What is going on with Gavin, who is effectively in charge of Sparta since Santiago's dissapearance, and his doppelganger? Are Lal's forces really advancing toward Spartan positions? Is Lal truly in control, or are rouge elements dragging him along? Does Lal know about his evil energy theft from Sparta and does he sanction it? Does Yang have something up his sleeve, or is he going to passively sit back and take his lumps (HA!)? Where is the Spartan North Fleet, and what are they doing? Can Sparta hold Zanzibar (a sea base captured from the Hive and renamed) or, for that matter, Plex Anthill (also captured from the Hive)? Will our valiant, if irregular, Spartan sub fleet save the day again by taking out more of the Hive navy? Where is Santiago, anyway? Can our airforce really take on the Hive at 2:1 to 4:1 odds - and live? What happened to our Spartan Expeditionary Forces, and what are they doing? Will our amphib forces be leading our Great Clustering assault, which they are so well suited to do? What evil plots are the Gaian (?) Ishmael and his 'dark side' circle hatching, and what are their intensions? The UoP resistance has been quiet for a while - what are they up to?!!! Exactly how much chaos will Shauna and Kurt create in Hiveland, and can the Believers revolt against their Hive masters after so long? Will the Gaians at Worker's Nest (conquered by the Hive and formerly Gaia's Landing) be liberated, or will they/can they liberate themselves? What are Morgan's intentions: will he 'play nice', or does he have something insidious planned? What are the Spartan probe teams doing at Great Clustering, and what have they found - is Yang still fitting his cruisers with Nerve Gas? Were there Spartan atrocities committed against the UoP?
