      Agent
      J
      cautiously
      descends
     
     
      into
      the
      tunnels.
      He
      is
      wearing
      his
     
     
      good
      pants
      and
      does
      not
      want
      to
     
     
      get
      them
      dirty
      or
      torn.
      In
      retro-
     
     
      spect,
      he
      should
      have
      worn
      jump-
     
     
      suits
      like
      the
      other
      members
      of
      his
     
     
      party.
     
    

    
     
      Right:
      With
      the
      four
      explorers
      safe-
     
     
      ly
      in
      the
      tunnels,
      they
      put
      the
      man-
     
     
      hole
      cover
      back
      in
      place.
      They
      do
     
     
      this
      so
      as
      not
      to
      arouse
      any
      suspi-
     
     
      cion
      from
      any
      passing
      Mole
     
     
      People.
      With
      this
      done,
      they
      are
     
     
      ready
      to
      explore
      the
      tunnels.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      For
      years
      there
      had
      been
      rumours
      about
      the
      Mole
      People
      who
      lived
      in
      the
     
     
      underground
      tunnels
      that
      connected
      the
      buildings
      on
      the
      UPEI
      campus.
     
     
      Nobody
      had
      dared
      go
      into
      the
      tunnels
      for
      fear
      of
      being
      attacked
      and
      killed
     
     
      by
      the
      Mole
      People,
      a
      race
      of
      savage
      half-breeds
      which
      was
      created
      in
      a
     
     
      stranger-than-fiction
      experiment
      back
      in
      the
      early
      days
      of
      the
      Atlantic
     
     
      Veterinary
      College.
      There
      was
      no
      photographic
      evidence
      of
      their
      exis-
     
     
      tence,
      but
      one
      night
      four
      brave
      Cadre
      reporters
      decided
      to
      change
      that.

      Agent
      M
      removes
      the
      cover
      from
      one
      of
      the
      many
      manholes
     
     
      which
      access
      the
      underground
      tunnels
      where
      the
      Mole
      People
      lay
      in
      wait-
     
     
      ing.
      There
      is
      danger
      even
      in
      this
      most
      simplest
      of
      tasks
      because
      Agent
      M
     
     
      must
      pay
      attention
      not
      to
      get
      his
      fingers
      crushed
      by
      the
      cover.

      Agent
      X
      takes
      one
      last
      breath
      of
      clean
      air
      before
      he
      makes
      his
     
     
      descent
      into
      the
      black
      depths
      that
      the
      Mole
      People
      call
      their
      home.
