Where To File Them
In Issue 2 and Issue 3 subscribers receive a binder and seven coloured divider cards. The Ally pages are filed behind the green divider.

Like the technology and enemies sections, cards are filed alphabetically in each section according to the letters in the top right corner. For example Mickey Smith (MS) will come before Rose Tyler (RT) in this section.

If a subject has more than one card, it is broker down into numbers. For example, MS 2 will come immediately after MS 1.
