Rookies up, veterans down. One thing you could say about Cedric: he didn't go taking the easy jobs for himself. 

That hole, though. He got that they were the underground, but that seemed massive. In curiosity he closed both his eyes, pointed his face directly at the hole, and[i] Screeeeeched.[/i] He listened to the sound bounce around down there, the owl of his brain painting a mental picture of what was below. He didn't get all of it, either. It just seemed to keep going. At least no one seemed to hanging around the new entrance waiting to jump whoever went down.

Then he grabbed a huge silver piece of metal, probably part of some corporate art before all this broke out, and decided to putbit to better use as mobile cover for him, Spectrum, and the police to advance behind. As he moved foward he gave a hoot and a jerk of his head that meant "follow me."
