In the initial part of the walkthrough, you can see the player levelling up his agents, who gain more experience points as they complete missions.The command centre is also described as a social area in which the player can interact with the other characters, getting to know them and seeing the psychological effects the campaign is having on them. That's very similar to the Normandy in the Mass Effect games, where you can walk around the ship, socialise with your team-mates and crew, and even pursue romantic options if the mood takes you.</blockquote>
