I think... SAMM is doing something big. It's kind of hard for me to get a good look because I'm... [Scrawny, small, not-taller than the bots, easy to bat around, easy to shove aside, easy to be picked up and forced back into the tower- not as sturdy as you guys. But...

Even if you can fit and we can distract the bots, I don't know if this'll work. Those hatches slam shut when anyone gets close enough to peer inside them. [Still, the feed is shifting. She's on the move again.]

Someone would have to be a good shot to get that there before the hatch closed.

That's where the others come in. Some of us would distract the bots, someone else would get the obstruction in, and you get through the hatch. [A long pause. She knows there's more than the l'Cie here, but...]
If we try that, it should be just the six of us from home. We know how we all move and can think ahead of one another. We're only going to get one shot at this.

[Trying soooooo hard to ignore that puppy-face. Mostly succeeding.] And suspicion won't matter if we can get out. We're a unit, remember? Adding others into that is asking for trouble.

[... Puppy face persists! muhahahahaha]
And it might. People around here aren't... well they don't think straight.

It's like Cocoon. Everyone looks out for themselves, and only themselves.

But we could still get me out. Snow is like a human bulldozer and He can always boost me over the crowd. I can land okay now. I've been practising. And we'll just tell people. Even if it was just the six of us, the best laid plans go wrong.

Tell people and hope they'll believe us? You know that's not going to work, Hope Not here. We'd need proof that there's something inside those hatches before they risk getting SAMM mad at them. Something worth risking your life over.

People are more likely to trust us and not SAMM. I'm not saying we should have everyone here out there. But there are a few people that might be of some help. I'm just saying the six of us won't be enough.
[He pauses for a moment.] ... Is it because you don't want to trust other people with... well with me? [Oh boy does he regret asking that question as soon as it slips from his lips.]

...If you can find someone you trust in this place that isn't going to hold us back and get us all killed, fine. Help won't be a bad thing.
[Since, with Yuri gone, her options of help are limited to just Edge.
...and that would be why she had a bad feeling. Have a sharp flinch for an answer, Hope. Got it in one, and her feed is going to stop moving and face the floor now.]

He's also a good distraction. I don't... [See that? That was a flash of OH MY GOD do not mention his name. Change Tactics. Now.] Maybe... General Sephiroth? He'd probably be good for it.

Why that flash, Hope? Have a strange look for your troubles.] He seems to have a clear head on his shoulders, at least. Used to working with people and getting the job done. [A slight pause. She hasn't spoken with him more than once, but...that's just the way he talks over the network.] If there's anyone here he works with, they might be able to help.
