WEAPONs, now? This is an interesting, if foreseeable turn of events.
Of course, it's natural, isn't it? You brought us here. There's no great surprise if you're capable of bringing others. Did you summon it? It was something I hadn't considered until recently; science has yet to shed light on the summoning process, the nature of the Materia, but perhaps, perhaps it had something to do with this environment. Perhaps it has something to do with you.
A second possibility. Was it an illusion, a false WEAPON, a clone? You can mimic our appearances, so it's natural to assume that you can also mimic - possibly even manifest other objects from our world.
[He stops pacing.]
... WEAPONs, designed by the Cetra to protect the planet.
This is the interesting issue for me. Why WEAPON.
The context is entirely correct. Designed to protect the planet, and it was precisely how you implemented it. You know us well. Given that knowledge, it's probable that you have been researching us. It's also probable that your selection of individuals is not a matter of chance.
Have you been watching?
How long?
