As Schmuck and Rio enter the Underground, there is a group of rebels leaving for an assault on Fort Alliance. Grover introduces the two to Betty and Claudio and joins the battalion. The four of them tour the sewers and learn that at this point in the war the Underground is simply a disrupting force against the AAF. They burn, break, and terrorize the military. Schmuck and Rio begin to feel that the Rebels are nothing but a bunch of crazy lunatics with an obsession for chaos. Nobody appears to be sane, especially Betty and Claudio who were once married but are now separated by their bitter attitudes towards the war. Finally they meet someone who has a hold of his fricken marbles. Holden Caulfield, battle strategist, befriends Rio and Schmuck and explains his affiliation with the Ghost Forces.
