[[Real-World Note: I think you're numbers are way skewed here. Any
kind of "inner core" is going to be substantially smaller than the main
ranks of the dog soldiers. To say that there are so many people privy
to the boss's ultimate plans and the "real nature" of the gang, and so
few left in the dark, goes counter to the needs of security that this
guy seems to want. Detracts from the mystique. Limit the "inner core"
to about 10 people, tops, with 60-75 dog soldiers who just do their
jobs, and it'll sound a load more realistic. To me, at any rate.
Oh, and to get to something I accidentally snipped and don't feel like
pasting back in: Gurth mentioned something about NYC and Jersey that
you should bear in mind. New Jersey is a state, and is extremely
unlikely to be completely taken over by sprawl. New York City also
fragmented along borough lines. But to say "NY/NJ sprawl" is to naively
assume that the whole area is one big conglomerated place, which I don't
believe would be the case. You might want to go down to the library and
look at a couple of atlases. Besides, with a gang this small, covering
Newark is going to be work enough for them, I think.]]

(>) If they're willing to step into the light a bit now, it could mean
they're up to something. Of course, it could also just mean that
someone got too close and is fixing to have an 'accident' of some kind.
Not wild about either possibility, personally.

That's all for now, I think.
