Ch. 1

Flying away from the now destroyed plate in Sector 7, despite the loud roar of the engine, the interior of the helicopter was silent as the grave. A booming voice came over Tseng's short- wave radio, startling voice was Heidegger's. "Is it done," he asked "did you capture the Ancient?" Tseng brought the device to his mouth and replied. "Affirmative. Mission complete, sir. However..." he paused "Reno has been severelyinjured. We'll have to bring up someone from the back- string." "Acknowleged. I'll have one clocked in by the time you reach H.Q." Tseng shook his head and placed the radio in his lap.

From a catacornered view, Aerith looked at the obviously stressed Turk. "Is he your friend," she inquired. Tseng looked up at her. "Begging your pardon?" "That... Reno... person. Is he your friend?" Tseng examined the question and replied "In a way... I suppose you could say that." "Hmm," she said "so... Who's going to replace him?" Tseng shook his head and answered "I'm not sure.

"Thank you, Rude." Aerith chuckled. "What an odd name..." She stated. Suddenly realizing something, she once again turned her heed to hercaptivator. "Which reminds me," she began, catching his attention "You haven't told me your name yet." "It's Tseng." 'Tseng... Tseng...' she repeated the name over and over in her mind. 'What an odd name...'
