* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Usually the formula for a novel in the series is that three agents are briefed at Ripley High and go on a mission. Plus, each book is one mission after another. It was changed just for "Danger Underground" and "Haunted Hotel", both missions in each book happen at the same time, the whole team on different missions. But:
** "Danger Underground" never even involves Ripley High once. The book begins with Jack, back in his hometown in Australia for the summer, just being informed that Max won't be able to visit because he's going on a mission with Kate and Li, the one that occurs in the next book "Haunted Hotel". Instead of being briefed in the RBI's base, Jack is briefed via his R-Phone's video link by Mr Cain. Because the initial mission is a two-hours drive away from Jack and is simply about a three-headed snake, Mr Cain only sends one agent at first, Alek. But once the escalating heat-related incidents happen, Mr Cain sends over the remaining agents, Zia and Kobe, increasing the number of members of the team to four.
** While Max, Alek, and Kate went on a mission to Antarctica in "Sub-Zero Survival" (mainly to find the first artifact of Ripley's artifact hunt), Mr Cain sends the remaining agents (Jack, Kobe, Zia, and Li) on a mission to Egypt. The book only focused on the Antarctic mission, the Egyptian mission remained offscreen. But "Danger Underground" and "Haunted Hotel" is the first time the reader gets to know what happens on these simultaneous missions.
