BigScreen first request a session to be created with Lobby, which then assigns one Mothership and one Satellite RMB to the session. Each RMB has an Actor runs along side it. BigScreen and Client do not communicate directly with each other, but rather go through the actor. This is so that BigScreen does not get overwhelm by all the network traffic.
