After a short journey by car, squad C arrived at the port in Balamb. From there, they boarded their deployment ship.
Taking their seats again, Quistis boarded also. She stood at the front of them all, and began to address them with their mission briefing. This was no surprise to them all – even though Quistis had lost her position as an instructor quite a few years ago, she had been promoted once again, just recently. It seemed she was doing better this time around, as she was now the top instructor at Balamb Garden. "Okay, squad C! The situation is as follows: there is a strange wave of monsters sweeping across Dollet. We believe their point of origin is the Dollet Communication Tower. Your squad will be in charge of locating the source of the monsters, and putting an end to it. Your instructions are to head straight to the Communication Tower."
A display of a map of Dollet appeared on the screen behind her, and showed the path through the town towards the tower.
Lianne smiled to herself. Her father's exam had involved the exact same location. But it was spawning monsters? She knew that couldn't be good news.
"Once you arrive at the Comm. Tower, your first priority is to destroy the source of the monsters, if it is there, and then, return immediately to the Dollet Portwhere this ship will be docked. I'm sure you all remember the rules – the order to withdraw takes priority, so keep that in mind. Lianne, Alix, Leali – be sure to follow your leader's instructions to the letter. And Skye, make sure you take care of your squad. You have the most responsibility here."
Skye shrugged at Quistis' words.
"Now…let's get through this exam, everyone!"
