-Six... seems to be a blank. You can't tell what he's thinking, and he seems as steely as you are, Squall-
Six: At what I would guess is 4 PM local time, Albert -points to Albert as he says this- entered our dormitory stating that something was "wrong" with one of our members, Artorias. You'll probably be able to see him if you go to the medical ward.
As I headed out to see what the problem was, I heard a roar. It didn't sound like Artorias at all. We hurried to where Albert said he was, only to be met with some... some lanky, giant thing that leapt onto the top level of Balamb Garden. The unidentified contact proceeded to break into our dormitories - presumably to retrieve Artorias's sword, before it engaged us. We responded with lethal force in self-defense. We took several casualties, but were able to neutralize the threat. Once we had... "killed" it, we found that it was, in fact, Artorias.
At this time I do not know what caused him to transform into the monster that damaged Balamb Garden.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Squall listens through it with an expression of absolute concentration, not even nodding until the word "casualties" gets said. For a moment he shuts his eyes, and his lips turn into a thin line of constrained exasperation.
(@Six) Squall: Elaborate on casualties and collateral damage. Furthermore. Is the perpetrator held in custody without any possibility of him repeating the rampage?
Oliver: Oh, not much. Just getting over the fact I shot at another living being for the first time in my life a few hours ago.
Six: Einar was severely wounded when... when Artorias destroyed his close-combat weapon and impaled him through his armor. He is being taken by Hector back to their territory for proper medical treatment, though our medic was able to stabilize him.
Andrew Longram was taken out of commission when Artorias severed his arm, though so far as I am aware he is currently recuperating in the medical ward.
While Suzu herself is uninjured, the armored vehicle she controls was damaged by Artorias and its main weapon no longer properly functions.
Finally, our medic walked out on us as the end result of a heated debate about whether or not healing or executing Artorias was the right decision to make.
In effect, I believe that for the duration of this mission we have lost five people.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Oliver: -to Lisa- You heard me, didn't you?
Six: As for Artorias being contained... he is currently in the medical ward. I believe the on-call staff have restrained all of his limbs. There is also apparently a rotating cast of "voluntolds" who are continuously casting a spell called 'Silence' on him to prevent him from transforming again.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Oliver: I have no idea.
It was...
I felt like something else took hold of me when I-
Nothing hostile! Nothing that would cause me to start shooting people like that, like that thing!
