Okay, I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

0:08.0

Okay, last week, I started talking about the design of Mirage, but I didn't finish, so I'm going to continue talking about it.

0:15.9

So for starters, I mangled the story last week, so I did a little research to have a better understanding what the story was.

0:22.4

I was in the ballpark, but I made a few mistakes.

0:24.7

So there were three different nations, and the three nations, remember there were three that were sort of in conflict.
