This girl looks familiar...
Who is this?
"Can i ask you something first?"
[If you wish.]
"Who is this image?"
[This hologram is an estimated appearance of a previous occupant of this Orbital Frame, a friend of the runner's. Her name was..]
"Celvice Klein," you finish for ADA. "i thought so."
[That is correct. However, the real Celvice Klein may not match the hologram.]
"May not? Haven't you seen her since the raid on Antillia?"
[Yes, aboard the starship Atlantis. However, I have not seen her since the previous runner, Leo Stenbuck, hid Jehuty on Callisto.]
"But you did meet Leo again."
[Yes. The chances of such a meeting are nearly incalculable.]
"Hmm. i thought she'd have been with him after Aumaan blew, waiting for her man on that ship."
['Her man'? I do not understand.]
"i thought they'd have been a couple," you say absently. Then, realizing ADA probably doesn't know what that means, you add "That they would be romantically attached. uh, dating. Together. Is that any clearer?"
[Clarification was not necessary. 'A couple' was sufficient.]
"Oh."
[May I ask you something?]
"Sure, i guess so."
[You know about Celvice Klein. The Antillia Raid. Leo Stenbuck and Aumaan, as well as Orbital Frame Anubis.]
"i know about Dingo Egret, too."
[How?]
"Huh?"
[How did you gain this information?]
"uh..." you stammer. "I-isn't Antillia common knowledge?"
[Yes, as is the name Leo Stenbuck. However, there do not exist in my database of news reports any mention of Celvice, Dingo Egret or Anubis. You also seemed familiar with Jehuty's abilities despite the fact that they were never made public.]
Explain that!
