At the moment there isn't a strike team. None of the teams are strike teams because at the moment there hasn't been anything to fight other than a bare handful of sad humanoid mutations in the swamps and a bunch more unnerving but harmless animal mutations near the cenote.
We shouldn't need the same connection and communication on the bridge as we did in the swamps. Theoretically less likelihood of someone dying from being sucked down into a bog.
The vanguard team is meant to be scouting fast but not looking closely. I want a team scouting more thoroughly in case there are hostile mutations living out there on that bridge. If there's anything horrible lurking on that bridge, I would now very earnestly prefer that Eli be the one to find it.
But I'm kind of expecting that there won't be anything more horrible than the sad humanoid mutations. In which case you're more valuable feeding people, and he's more valuable on a strike team. Once I have one of those. I have assured him that I will let him know first if I find anything that needs to be struck.
