Cedric was a little surprised when Aya, the new member whose Meta powers might yet provide valuable intelligence, went up to his office, and provided said valuable intelligence, albeit in a way that caused his eyes to widen somewhat, and his expression to become a frown before changing into a kind smile.

"Of course I'll allow you to show me," he said, offering his own right hand, while with the other one, he was commanding two drones to stand guard over the both of them; he had learned to be more cautious.

"This is bad, real bad," said Cedric, his voice grave. He then turned on the Intercom:

"Olivia, Max, Owlman, Spectrum!" he shouted, "begin preparations for evacuation at once; alert Healing Spore as well! Wounded and children first!"

"Eli, Light, to the roof with me in 10 minutes." And with that, Cedric pressed another button, revealing a hidden rack with a sniper rifle and power armor. 

He was going to have to fight again.

((Note: You can still do your training/interaction collabs/posts; they just have to be backdated to before the Astral Trip.))
