- Guy talking to Asch
- Guy: What’s Luke doing?
- Asch: …Sleeping. I’m sure he’ll wake up eventually.
- Guy: I see… If he thinks by himself for a while, I’m sure he’ll
- realize what he needs to do.
- Asch: Humph. I wonder.
- Luke’s voice: Guy…
- Asch: (He’s as naïve a fool as he always was…)
- Guy: I don’t trust you, you know.
- Asch: (…)
- Guy: I’m going with you to make sure you don’t do anything
- suspicious.
- Asch: …Do as you please.
- (onboard the tartarus)
- Asch: I misunderstood Van's objective. We'll have to uncover his
- activities to find out what he is really after. I want you to
- take Ion and me back to Daath...
- Asch: We'll take you back once were done. I need bodies here to
- operate the Tartarus.
- Guy: Why not use your own men?
- Asch: I can't. Everything I do would be leaked to Van.
- Natalia: I don't see any problem with helping Asch. We, too, need to know
- Van's true objective.
- Ion: Natalia is right.
- Anise: ...If you say so Ion, then I'll go along.
- Jade: I have something I want to confirm as well. I'll cooperate with
- Asch for a time.
- Guy: (...)
- Asch: Belkend is to the east. Now, get to work.

- | Natalia: Well, we're back safely from the Qliphoth.
- | Anise: So that huge thing that looked like a tree of light comes from
- | the Sephiroth? It's hard to believe those are all that's
- | supporting the Outer Lands.
- | Natalia: Yes... But it was enough to push us back up here.
- | Anise: Yeah, it's a good thing it worked! (music note)
- | Asch: ...Of course it worked. The theory was correct.
- | Guy: Only because we got lucky. We could've all ended up dead down
- | there.
- | Natalia: Guy, that's quite a sharp tone to be taking with L...Asch.
- | Guy: ...My apologies.
- | [Guy leaves.]
- | Natalia: Guy...
- | Asch: Natalia! Forget it. It doesn't bother me.
- | Natalia: Asch...

- | Skit `Thinking of Luke' [SK124]
- |
- | Guy: So Yulia City is miles below us, huh...
- | Natalia: Guy...are you thinking about Luke?
- | Guy: Huh? Well...yeah, I guess. Everyone but Tear's back up here...
- | I'm worried he'll think he's been abandoned. After all this, he
- | still needs me to help him along...
- | Natalia: That's some ego you have, Guy! Besides, you were too lenient
- | with Luke in the first place. The rest of us were quite shocked
- | at his irresponsible remarks.
- | Guy: But he's a replica, so... It's partly my fault he's grown up the
- | way he has over the past seven years. ... And partly yours,
- | too, Natalia.
- | Natalia: ...Yes...perhaps you're right. As you say, Luke may be in need
- | of someone to support him right now. But what of Asch, then?
- | Who is to support him, after seven years of loss? Isn't that
- | our job as well?
- | Guy: ...I suppose you have a point...

- | Skit `Searching for Van's Tracks...' [SK123]
- |
- | Anise: Do you think we'll find out what Van's up to in Belkend?
- | Ion: I don't know, but we don't have any other leads right now...
- | Jade: Indeed. We should investigate the Fon Machine Laboratory in
- | Belkend.
- | Asch: Yeah. Van's been in and out often. There's bound to be something
- | there.
- | Natalia: Yes, I'm certain we'll learn something.
- | Guy: ...You're all pretty optimistic...
- | [Guy leaves.]
- | Natalia: Guy! Do you have a problem?
- | Asch: Natalia! Don't bother.
- | [Natalia & Asch leave.]
- | Anise: Whoa, ouch! What's with all this drama, Colonel?
- | Jade: Anise, a proper lady doesn't pry.
- +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The party leaves the lab.
- Natalia: Why is Van collecting replica data? What does he plan to do with
- it?
- Anise: Well, I'd assume he's going to make replicas...
- Asch: ...We're going to Ortion Cavern.
- Natalia: The cave on the western continent of Radessia? But why?
- Jade: I presume he intends to investigate the replica issue. Fonimin
- can be gathered there. And...
- Natalia: And?
- Jade: ...Well, you know. Radessia is Kimlascan territory. Malkuth
- can't interfere. Dist was originally a researcher from Malkuth.
- It's a logical place for him to go after stealing fomicry
- technology.
- Asch: Enough talk. Let's get going.
- Anise: Boooo. Do you really think we should go, Ion?
- Ion: Yes, for now, let's do what he says.
- Guy: I'm getting off here.
- Natalia: (!)
- Ion: (!)
- Anise: (!)
- Asch: (!) Why?
- Guy: I'm worried about Luke. I have to go back for him.
- Anise: I don't believe you! Who cares about that idiot!
- Guy: I do, because he's an idiot. I don't know what he'd do alone.
- And... I have faith that he can get past this.
- Natalia: Guy! You're Luke's attendant, and his friend! The real Luke is
- right here!
- Guy: This may be the real Luke. But my friend is that idiot.
- Luke: (Thanks, Guy... )
- Jade: It's up to you if you want to go back for him, but how do you
- intend to return to Yulia City?
- Asch: ...Aramis Spring. It's a cave northwest of Daath. If the replica
- comes back to the Outer Lands, he'll pass through there.
- Guy: Thanks, Asch.
- Asch: ...Humph. I knew you'd choose him.
- Guy: Did Van tell you? Well...that's not the only reason.
- Natalia: What are you talking about?
- Guy: ...Nothing. See you.
- Natalia: Luke! Aren't you going to stop him?!
- Asch: Don't call me by that name. It's no longer mine.
- Natalia: (...)
- Guy has left the party.
