-Assassin-
Is that so? Well, if I can't get him out by the time the gas wears off, then they have free reign. Until then, I would prefer not to put him at risk of shrapnel.
-Watches Kosuke get conked-
...
Well, you should all get some rest too. I have a feeling you have a few hours worth before something else comes up.
Now, I need to get my base under control.
-He moves to an intercom-
-Sam may find him with her future vision, with the others-
City
-John clenches his fists-
-Luis-
It's a bit late for that.
-Sora and John-
Don't make any stupid moves, hmm? I haven't attacked you, let's keep things civil.
-Suzy-
To enact a ritual on this scale, there would need to be a lot of power. We're looking at it.
Part of it anyway. All those lost souls... nowhere to go with the veil torn... Human souls create the world you know. Every facet of it. They make the sun the sun, the earth the earth.
Without their eyes, the universe would never exist. It would just be dead atoms, spinning mindlessly to the tune of the cosmos.
Of course, we need more than those who are already dead as a sacrifice.
-Cloud-
-The man looks directly at you and he knows-
Can it, Cloud? One of them is dead. You know that. The egg has cracked, death has died and the moon is just a moon.
-Gives a lazy wave to Steph-
-CONK-
-And he's DOOOOOOOWN-
-The griffon lands on its hand mirror-
-Luis- They already caught us... No point in hiding it anymore!
-Just stands by warily to listen to him talk-
So... This guy's gonna use a bunch of people's souls to start the end of the world?

-Cloud-
Me? Oh Cloud no, not any more so than any other act of malice. All this is is the work of men, looking to save their own hides, killing the many to send the few to sacrifice.
It's only ever humans that destroy themselves.
-One of the soldiers shifts uncomfortably-
-Sora-
Probably to provide the energy to kickstart the ritual, yes. Why he's telling us this, I am not sure.
-Chris looks very nervous now, the vigour he had earlier gone-
-Steph-
If you ask them, this isn't an end. It's just a new beginning, that only they will be able to be part of.
-The other soldier shifts uncomfortably-
As for anyone outside that little tower of theirs... well. Them's the breaks.
-Luis-
You misunderstand. To be honest, I've barely done anything. Sure, I might have introduced one or two people, gave some advice, but all of the actual ideas? Only me as much as any act is. Truth be told they don't even need me to call the corpses. I just thought I may as well.

-Lance-
Don't be too hard on yourself. He fooled me far better than he did you.
-SAM will FIND OTHERS-
... Hello, what are you doing here?
-He means it kindly but that is a patronising voice-
Dream
-When Kosuke "wakes up", he is face to face with the masked man, Lieutenant Hawkeye kneeling down next to him-
He's alright.
-Looks like you look unconscious in the dream too-
What are you doing here this time?
Ah... Man I'm glad I can't feel that right now...
-Shakes his head- ...Oh yeah!
-Smiles wide-
I finally got those coordinates for you!
-and he RELAYS THEM-
-Clutches his Keyblade harder-
-Lowers his voice again to Chris-
What should we do about this? Rush them? Try and get into their base?

... Thank you, Kosuke. You've done well.
-He turns around-
Did you hear that HK?
Affirmation:Acknowledged. Personally, I would feel more comfortable having extracted the truth with more finesse to ensure that he is not sending us into a black hole. I still have my neural-
HK!
Resignation: Entering coordinates, master.
-Hawkeye and Mustang look at Kosuke-
Back I go then.
We'll be seeing you soon. Hopefully after this I can find a way back to Amestris.
May the force be with you.
-They blur, their images elongating as they vanish-
-You do not dream for the rest of the night-

It is extremely heat resistant as well. We did not want anything breaking through.
-Sam-
...
You're certain about this?
Then we have no time to waste. It is already almost sunrise.
Get five minutes sleep if you need it. I don't think you're going to have the opportunity to for a long time.
City
-Cloud-
If you say so. Let's go with that.
-Chris' eyes dart in Cloud's direction for a split second-
-Sora-
Preferably not talk right now, as I am certain he can hear us anyway, but we will have to move soon.
-Fen-
Hello. My flute was controlling the zombies. Is that information enough for you?

...Uhh...Okay!
-Conks Kosuke on the back of the head-
