[The first thing Ramza felt was confusion. As the video clicked on, due to the help of his new Phantump, he is just looking around - giving a frown and tremble. His voice? Sounds almost human, but... slightly robotic, a bit of static cutting though it.]

Where is... the beginning?

[This is not right. It was time to try again - not time to appear in a small town. Ramza couldn't even see the world map!!

Glitchy effects appear though video - it might just be a video effect, or-- wow, did a small knife just appear in Ramzas' hand, as he goes to sit down.]

I don't want to be here. This is not Ivalice. I need to reset. To help Teta.

[...And then. Ramza flops backwards, with a bit of a sigh, which simply sounds like static.]

...But...

It feels nice - this air. It feels well-programmed. I wonder if this is simply somebody fixing the land? I want to help Teta. And Alma. And Delita. Do you think we can?

...What are you holding, Ghost?

[...A pause, as Ramza listens to the Phantump, quietly and calmly. However, Ramza is not happy. He looks neutral, but... he's so angry. Who would do this...?!]

It can record me? That is impossible - what would have been deleted to fit all this data? Who would be watching?

...Can they... respond? Do they live?

[He's quiet, as he stands again - moving to the edge of the town. Confusion in his stance as he tries to touch the gates, and they open by themselves.

????????? respond plz]

[Interesting. Eggman takes a couple of notes, and the last sentence gives him an idea of what Ramza is like. Or at least a guess.]

That is because you are not in your world any longer. This is a different world. However! There are ways to... reach out to other dimensions. Including the one you come from. If you don't mind me asking... do you seem to have any... influence over your world at all?

[scratched_disk]

...Different worlds. I was trying to get onto the memory card, to escape. This is another Playstation game?

[ ramza

He's not staticing, though! He almost sounds... natural. He just seems happy. ]

I re-programmed Ivalice. I could manipulate it. Create new maps. Control movement. Make myself more intelligent. But I could not change how others could speak.

[ There's a pause, before... ]

You wish to see those powers. Is that it?

[thatblastedhedgehog]

[Manipulate the world... re-program it... control things... it was like a dream. You couldn't even make this kind of stuff up.]

This is not a 'Playstation' game, no. This is an entirely different dimension from any other, from what my research has told me. A different world in a different dimension. Which may explain your confusion.

Your powers seem... very interesting. A demonstration would be excellent.

I cannot manipulate this world like my old one. I do not know the data points. But...

[ Ramza closed his eyes. He could always manipulate how he looked - at least, a little. He just needed to think of what data to call, to change how he looked.

The same glitchy effect from the book appearing appeared around Ramza. And in a moment... he seemed to have fully changed to look like Delita.

His voice remains the same, as he turns back to the camera, smiling nervously. His Pumpkaboo seems super nervous though. ]

I can manipulate myself to look like other units. This is one of them.
