Likely, the city will simply be eradicated. That seems the most likely.

As for what might happen to us, well...

[A pause over the SFC and Jade is thinking.]

I don't know..

[double_edged]

You'll return home, and all will be well.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Are we sure we'll be sent home..?

[double_edged]

It doesn't look like remaining here is an option, even if we do manage to turn the tides.

Er, so to speak.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I meant in the sense of the possibility of being sent elsewhere. Not to our own homes.

[double_edged]

We made do here. Who's to say we can't manage the same in a new surrounding?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It would be nice, wouldn't it? Travelling to another world...

[double_edged]

You need to be returned home, however. There are others waiting.

Aren't there?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Waiting, for me?

[A chuckle.]

They're waiting for someone else.

[double_edged]

...someone else? I don't follow.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

They're waiting for a miracle, General. For someone to come back from the dead...

[His voice was a little quieter, but he paused only a moment and spoke in a normal tone.]

It would be neat to go elsewhere and explore.

[double_edged]

If we had a miracle every time someone passed, they wouldn't be 'miracles', Colonel.

[But he sees the subject is too much for his friend to get into, so the Lombax follows suit.]

I'd...

Like to explore the rest of this planet as well. Maybe other worlds in his dimension. The both of us could.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[An uneasy silence. Luke, did you return home already? Without him...?]

Curious... If it were possible.

[Hmm...]

I wonder what lies beyond the Fon Belt of Auldrant.

[double_edged]

I have extensive knowledge of numerous galactic entities, but I must say - this is the first I've heard of a 'Fon Belt'.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It's... Hm.

[He thinks of an adequate comparison.]

They're like thousands of energized asteroids surrounding the planet.

[double_edged]

'Energized'. Don't you mean 'irradiated'?

[Jade, sweetie, that's kind of dangerous what the hell.]
