It seems as though the MM/Bort/Brick/Razor coalition is starting to gel nicely, starting off with the op in NOL, which despite the blob, saw the 3 of the 4 alliances working together in unison but not fully together yet. This was the first real op where we had seen all of the alliances but Razor formed at the same time, and we saw some different fleet comps by the alliances that had not yet been fielded, including A-hacs by razor and brick (even though they were using damnations for bonus's against maelstroms vov vov )
Then on Saturday, we saw further integration with the fight for the FAIL neo moon, in which they did extremely well despite not taking the moon (they easily could have had they not chased FAIL to Z3V, whether they did that knowing they risked losing the moon, or just made a mistake, i'm not sure). This op showed Brick and Borg in the same fleet together, using the a unified fleet comp (armor hac's), working with MM (in AB vagas) together on the field running a very well coordinated and well planned op that caught the other side completely off guard. It was quite clear that all 3 sides were working under 1 overall FC (or at least some overall plan).
Today, all 4 alliances have come together in the same fleet to show off their super cap numbers in what is quite a nice show of force for the area.

With everyday bringing a new level of coordination, and with SBU's going up in GENT's space, it will be interesting to see where the next step towards better coordination between the 4 alliances will land. Though the rhetoric is still that the sbu's are for good fights (no reason not to believe this quite honestly, yet.), one can only wonder how long they will stay on vacation in NPC delve before they start to look upon conquerable space with their newly rejuvenated alliances, possibly in Delve, or maybe elsewhere.
Fun times ahead.
