No, I wasn't clear, since I was just summing up published material.  For 
those who haven't read the Covenant book, the Covenant had a secret alliance 
with the Defiance, and were hosting deltatimes.com on one of their servers. 
The Primers found out about it (based on the results of an adventure held 
last summer at...Origins? which incorporated the play-group's results), and 
now the Covenant is treated just like any other bunch of Deltas in the U.S.

Unfortunately, in the Covenant book this is presented somewhat...casually.  
You'd think that they'd spend some time talking about this up front, but it 
gets kinda dropped in by the narrator a bit later.

The Primers managed to grab Truth and she starts in jail at the beginning of 
the included adventure. However, she doesn't have a direct connection to the 
Covenant.

I'll keep you in mind and add you to my list of interested participants, 
although I'm not sure that artwork will be a high priority.  Although it is 
still up for discussion once we put a team together, I personally envision 
the adventures put out for interactive response as relatively sketchy:  an 
outline with critical plot points to be achived, suggested plot hooks to get 
the groups involved, and the major NPCs.  No more then maybe 10 pages, 
although we'll have to play that by ear.  If folks on the team want to _do_ 
more, that's fine. I'm just going by my estimates of what can be done in a 
period of, say, 3 months of group effort and collaboration.

Hope that clarifies things.
