Where To File Them

In Issue 2 and Issue 3 subscribers receive a binder and seven coloured divider cards. The Technology pages are filed behind the dark blue dividers.

Like the enemies and allies sections, cards are filed alphabetically in each section according to the letters in the top right corner. For example Cybus Upgrade (CY) will come before TARDIS (TD) in this section.

If a subject has more than one card, it is further broken down by numbers. For example, TD 2 would come immediately after TD 1.
