This can't stop What from going back to Wutai this time! The double quoted Leviathan Scale works as advertised by getting rid of fire! Which opens up two treasures! A weapon for Zenny and a materia that steals in addition to whatever moves linked with it!
Over in Kalm the Guide Book gets redeemed for an Underwater materia... which lets ya breathe underwater! Dunno what thats supposed ta be good for.
Seems like? Haven't ya gone outside? It sure looks like the rockets being worked on!
Wait, an npc not in the Shinra plans loop? An given the current stage of it someone in Rocket Town of all places??
Friggin' gawkers.
Oh no ordinary soldiers are guarding the rocket. What ever shall the team do.
Maybe use Bad Breath to frog 'em among other effects? These are beyond joke fights by now so lets treat 'em with no respect! Seriously though where is SOLDIER? They're woefully underdeveloped and underutilized in this game.
Goddamn T forces his way into the party and with that brings the return of dialogue window based party/menu management. Its been a really long time since we last saw that!
What can stop an chat with the gawkers but not leave the area. Lame! Also lame is using "There" instead of "They're".
Rudes waiting up top with a couple more regular soldiers but he's no threat. Sense+Steal as Well snags the real high quailty armor Ziedrich offa him. It don't got any materia slots but it is really strong!
Inside the cockpit Goddamn T gets informed of the situation and is like "ta hell with auto-pilot I'ma fly this thing myself"!
What objects to the plan of having the huge materia slam into Meteor but Goddamn T wants ta go along with Shinras plan.
Shera worked fast today cause the auto-pilot is up and running which prompts Palmer to press the launch button, sans any countdown or fanfare at all.
No aborting this launch! Its liftoff for reals!
Goddamn T achieved his dream of making it into space only to find out him and his rocket are on a locked in crash course with Meteor! Meanwhile Mr Meows takes the time ta rub it in their faces that he's not in any danger personally.
Before heading to the escape pod Goddamn T says What can take the materia after all. Thing is, theres only 3 minutes with which ta input the right password. A stressful time limit + hints which aren't exactly coming out at a quick enough pace leads to What failing under pressure. The materia gets even more securely locked away an thats that. Kinda anti-climatic after the past 3 failures briefly made the party out to be dead.
We know Goddamn T is fine with leaving people to die from earlier but now we know he includes himself in that. Course What isn't going to give in so easily even if Goddamn T is calling him stupid.
Shera was right all along! An she happens ta be onboard to help Goddamn T out and get the first of what should be many, many apologies from him!
The escape pods in perfect working order to thanks to her! Which is of great relief to Goddamn T! Sadly this is the extent of the space adventure. No landing on Meteor or fighting space monsters here ;.;
An the rocket loaded with all 4 huge materia an who knows what else slams right in Meteor!
That big boom made quite the spectacle for the people down on the planet to witness!
The explosion cracked Meteor something good but wasn't near enough ta wipe it out completely. Maybe sending another dozen rockets with materia bombs its way would finish the job?
Oh right... the resources and capacity ya pump out more rockets and materia bombs prolly don't exist. Everyones right ta be down in the dumps about now!
Times like this where everyone was rooting for a Shinra win are weird times indeed.
While What is being all mopey, Goddamn T's been thinking about how the planets pretty small when looking at it from space. His speech reignites most of the partys passion to protect it!
Do now what? idk. Goddamn T did some good thinkin' but the plannin' parts still in progress.
but y tho? Just because they heard the planets scream they should go seek advice from him? Every other time they went to him for advice he didn't give shit. Heck one time he accused 'em of wrong-doing!
Outta the blue need to go see the old man and sudden random backstory for him? I smell a death flag!
Oh an the pilots level hit double digits! Nice!
