At Sheridan, all the preparations were complete. We'll be taking the
Tartarus in to the core, then using it to neutralize the core's vibrations by
vibrating at the same frequency. Then we'll escape in the Highwind, leaving
the Tartarus in the core. Because of technical limitations, we'll only have
just enough time to get in and out... It'll be dangerous, but we'll have to
accept that. The operation will start when we talk to Iemon, so let's make
sure to prepare ourselves well so we have no regrets.
The operation's started. But just as we were getting started for the
Tartarus, located in Port Sheridan, Cortana attacked us. Damn, it looks like
they're going to try and stop us after all.
We don't have time to fight our way through her and her soldiers. ...So
Iemon and Tamara helped us escape. If we flee to the port, we'll be
abandoning them and the people of Sheridan...but if we don't go, we won't be
able to silence the core's vibration. We had no choice but to leave them.
We were able to escape from Sheridan, thanks to the sacrifices made by the
townspeople. We need to head for the port, so that their deaths don't go for
nothing.
Iemon...everyone...I'm sorry.
When we reached the port, Master Kyo himself showed up, led by Spinoza.
The b*****d, selling out his own friends! Iemon and everybody died because of
him!
Master Kyo tried to stop us.
But Hencken and Cathy threw themselves in his way to protect us. I really
wanted to save them...but then, again, we'd fail in silencing the core. We
can't afford that failure. Once again, we had to watch people who had helped
us die.
We paid a great price, but were finally able to arrive at the core.
But when we got there, we found that Evan had made his way aboard. He
must've snuck on while we were being delayed. Dammit! I won't let the God-
Generals get in the way!
We defeated Evan, but then the mask he always wears fell off, and I
couldn't believe what I saw: Evan and Sion had the same face. Evan, and even
Sion, were replicas of the original Fon Master Sion, who had died two years
ago. Brittany had be reassigned from her post with the Fon Master Guardians,
and Saiyukiness added in her stead, so that the switch wouldn't be noticed.
Evan said that he was nothing more than a discarded defect, mere trash,
and threw himself into the core. Those were his final words.
Evan...do you really think so? Are replicas only trash if they're not
useful as replacements for someone else?
...I don't have time to sit around pondering that right now. We have to
escape from the core as soon as we can. Evan erased the fonic circle we
needed to escape, so we have to recreate it as soon as we can, or we'll die
here.
We managed to recreate the fonic glyph. But just as we were about to
escape, Kitten's consciousness was taken over--by Sol, the collective
consciousness of the Seventh Fonon. Sol said that its power was being
absorbed by something enormous, and that was causing the Sephiroth to go out
of control.
But Sol disappeared in the middle of talking to us. We escaped from
the core, not knowing what it was Sol was trying to tell us.
At least we made it out alive, but I'm worried about Kitten. Sol's
taking control of her may have had side effects, so we decided to have her
undergo a thorough examination in Belkend.
Come to think of it, Christian mentioned that he saw something flash as we
descended into the core. I wonder what it was... I'll ask him about it later.
