Dream Layer Twelve (the final layer near Nightmare Town).
This layer's complex structure had reached its maximum, still using the internal passageways of the Power Station as its basic template,
but its spatial physics had become completely chaotic. Various Penrose stairways and arbitrary doors linked the interactive spaces together,
An ordinary squad would soon become lost inside, and deciphering it would take at least several days, perhaps even a week.
Yet this special squad had needed only twenty minutes to observe the area. After contemplating the spatial structure, they had analyzed the completely correct route through the dream.
The ones who had completed the structural analysis were the beings known as the United Two-Faced—Maco and Martin. More precisely, it had been completed by "Back-Side Maco." So far, "Front-Side Martin" had never truly revealed himself even once.

Yet he was also a rare two-way prophet who possessed both precognition and strength.

Any one of them, taken alone, was a force capable of standing on equal footing with an entire organization.
The squad's numbers were 5+1.

2. The second person in line was this squad's "Death Row Inmate," Doctor Maco, the one who had brought about the
