Ahhh, home again. At least, back in Vertere, and I didn't land in an alley this time, either! I have to admit, that little trip was sort of fun, in a strange way. Met some odd fellow named Buster (which just made me think of Cloud's sword...) who congratulated me on, as he put it, 'manhandling and molesting' the enemy leader. I have no clue what he meant by that, but it netted me a few nice things, including a bottle of what's called Dom Perignon. (Rufus, I'll be bringing this by- it's better than any Kalm vintage you've ever had. Perhaps we should make a party of it.)

They made the mistake of letting me- or rather, Cait- take a look at some of their schematics for their city; not sure how well his cameras got the image, but I'll have a go at interpreting it. (The city itself talked to me. So very bizarre. Though he was quite well-mannered for a giant robot with lots of other people tramping about in his guts.) Oh, and Cid, they gave me some sort of... military manual on their airships- swing by whenever you want it. No blueprints, but you can tell quite a bit just from how it's written, I think.

At any rate, maybe things will settle enough for me to actually adjust to this place. But first... where the hell am I?
