[b]"Well, if we end up splitting..."[/b] he began, gaze sweeping round to take in the group at large for a moment.[b] "It'd make the most sense to have the leaders each go down a path, to start with."[/b]

Simple sense, stuff that even April would be able to come up with. By having each team's leader on the two paths, they could keep in constant contact and report their findings to one-another in real time. To not do so would result in them being cut off, unable to call for help.

In other words, a death sentence in this scenario.
