What do you do when the trainers who've given you a chance to survive the arrival of the System to your world start to turn on your people?
If you're Mike and his group, you strive to grow stronger and help the people around you do so as well. You continue to help other Safe Zones strengthen themselves, clearing out the chaff and supporting those who are worth it.
If you are a Druid, like Mike, you strengthen your ties with potential animal companions, discovering just how much the planet has changed many of the animals that were once common in the world.
With Alyx's drones in the local trainer office, Mike and his group discover that the greedy trainers aren't just after the percentages of experience and loot that they sell their knowledge for. They want more.
Mike's theory that the stronger monsters will be farther away from the main population centers is proven to be true, as a trip into the foothills demonstrates to them.
With the knowledge provided from Alyx's spy drones, Mike and his group decide that it's time to take the battle to the trainers as opposed to waiting docilely for the trainers to begin their true plans of milking the Earth for all the experience they can.
