>Amate: (Where?!)
>Lalah?: (...Dakar. Across the Ocean, that city shall spark the beginning of a new conflict. There is only one way you shall ever reach that place.)
>Amate: (Just tell me already!)
>Lalah?: (You must call for him. You must call for Char to come for you.)

>Ramba: Ramba Ral...Casval Deikun.
>Distorted voice: [I KNEW YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT DATE.]
>Ramba: The day my father was assassinated. Why contact me now?
>Distorted voice: [TO SECURE MY SISTER'S FUTURE. I HAVE ACTED AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD HARM HER...BUT I REQUIRE YOUR AID NOW. IN GREENLAND, A NUCLEAR ATTACK IS BEING PLANNED AGAINST DAKAR.]
>Ramba: Nuclear?! How long have you-
