>> THE PURSUIT CONTINUES
=================================
[Week 9 // May 27 – Jun 2 · 2002]

SYSTEM (Status): THE SHIELD (ACTIVE)
MODE: REGULAR SEASON
OPERATION: BASEBALL

=================================

:: Mission Briefing ::

[Season-to-date through Week 8 — pace car GBP 33-19 (.635), then HOU 31-21, IND 31-21, JAX 30-22, BUF 30-22 (MIA and CHI also 30-22). One-run games make up 0.306 of all contests; home clubs winning .546. Streak tape shows CHI on W7, NYJ on W5, IND hit L3. Bottom line — the top pack is compressed and Week 9 will start to pull the field apart.]
