"We use our brands to look for the shard," Cassie said. "Nico's right, that's our first objective. We deal with that, then we can head off the massacre at more or less our leisure." She turned, eyeing her "troops" thoughtfully.

"Raph, you and Kon should head over to the Erudite compound and see if you can find out where they're keeping the shard. He's got a reason to be there, and you're the sneakiest of all of us. See if a smash-and-grab is viable. Nico and I will see about getting the lay of the land out here -- most likely routes between Dauntless and Abnegation, that sort of thing. We'll meet back here in, oh, three hours and trade information. Try not to do anything stupid, just because we're bullet-proof and Nico can cast us some new faces doesn't mean that we should put security on high alert."
