Man, why does she have to be gone when things get exciting...?

[Bleh. Zack's feeling bummed and alone while Aerith's kidnapped, so~ distractions go.]

So what kind of cool stuff did you guys get from the Malnosso? Anybody get a working cell phone? Can't find a signal anywhere.

[Locked from the usual bad guys]

Okay, the real reason for this is that... well, Cloud and I were talking, and something came up that we think should be dealt with before another fight outside the barrier starts up. I don't know why the Malnosso wants to send kids over there, but I think it's important that we organize some kind of defense for 'em if it happens again. If some of you hero-types agree to buddy up with the kids that get sent over, they'd be safer, right? They'd at least have someone watching their backs.

I know some of you younger guys probably think you're strong and can handle anything, and that's fine, but... well, I don't really think it's right for kids to be killing people, and I don't want to see any of you die, either.

[Come on, he knows how to be friendly and smile. He just needs to filter out the stupid people. After all, he doesn't need another Moses.]

Please. It can't be that simple.

Why not? It worked with me, didn't it?

You tell me.

You never know if these people will stab you in the back.

Hmm... but that's pretty uncommon, for the most part. And hey, even if it happens once or twice, is that really enough to make a person not want any friends at all?

...

No... but...

[He just doesn't want it to happen again...]

[Yeah, he's getting that "wounded" vibe already.]

It's never easy to take that first step. But there are a lot of really great people in the universe, and if you let one or two bad experiences get you down, you're going to miss out on a lot of fun.

[There's a long silence here.]

...I'm...

Zack...where do I start?

Start off with what you know! Tell me about yourself.

...

[That's not exactly a subject he enjoys talking about...]

...What do you want to know about me?

Anything you want to tell! Your past, your family, where you live, what your world is like, your hobbies- you'd be amazed at what other people will find interesting!

...

[You think the fact that he was a murderer would be interesting?? Yeah, he'll leave out that part.]

...I live on a large ship called the Legacy. I gather information and work as a strategist.

[Zack can't criticize, he's not exactly clean either.]

The Legacy, huh... [Not where has he heard that before.] Oh, like one of those military types?

I have worked with the military, but I work with others, too. I wouldn't exactly classify myself as a military figure.

Well, that's cool too. The military's way too strict sometimes anyway!

Indeed. So, how about you?

I used to work with the military, myself! I was a SOLDIER back home, until I sort of retired.

I see. Only "sort of" retired?

It's kinda complicated. In a nutshell, I didn't quit and they didn't fire me, but...

Hmm. Was your unit disbanded?

Nah, I didn't really have a unit. The SOLDIER program was sort of stopped, but the company still kept the rest of 'em around for security.

Ah, the spirit lives on. Interesting.

That's one way to put it!

You're very laid back for a military man. You act almost like a child yourself.

I like to keep in touch with my youth. Otherwise I'll turn into a grumpy old man like the SOLDER leaders!

That's good. But the grumpy types can be amusing in their own ways.
