I think we can just use mud. It'd be more handy to have an actual solider around with experience, though.

[While Hiro could consider himself a veteran when it came to supernatural affairs. He wasn't necessary as hardcore as some of his solider friends. At heart, he was still a city boy...]

By the way... Do you have any special abilities or anything like that? You don't haveta tell me if it's a secret, but it'd be pretty handy in knowing what you can do.
