Script

Dunban

I have been to this place before. Only once, however.

Sharla

Really? When was that?

Dunban

I remember it well.
When Fiora and I were much younger, we came here together.

Sharla

All the way from Colony 9? That's no small distance.

Dunban

I was so very afraid as we made our way through Tephra Cave.
I can barely even remember the way now.
At the time I was so busy making sure Fiora was OK.

Sharla

Was it just a day out?

Dunban

Are you serious? Do you think I'd bring her here for fun?

Sharla

I'm sorry. It was silly of me to say that.

Dunban

It was...about 12 years ago, I believe.
Colony 9 was attacked by the Mechon. This is where we fled to.

Sharla

I was only little at the time as well, but I remember that day.

Dunban

I thought you might.
All I kept thinking was, 'Don't let them hurt Fiora.'
We ran as fast as our legs would carry us, trying not to look back.
I didn't even know how far they'd chased us. And then here we were.

Sharla

I know the feeling.

Sharla

When the Mechon attacked Colony 6, Juju was my only concern.
I couldn't think about anything else.

Dunban

Of course. You must feel the same about Juju as I do about Fiora.

Sharla

Yeah. And in a way, he's the reason I became a medic.
I had to keep him safe, no matter what.

Dunban

I see.

Sharla

How about you, Dunban?
Did you become a soldier because you wanted to protect Fiora?

Dunban

Good question. I'm not really sure, but I don't think so.
I think I just signed up because I really hated the Mechon.

Sharla

Come on, that can't be the only reason.
I'm talking to the Hero of the Homs, here!
Wasn't there something more...heroic behind it?

Dunban

Hmm... I suppose it doesn't make for a very good story.
Maybe I'll tell it your way in future.

Sharla

How could you be so stupid?!

Sharla

Why didn't you just go into the shelter?
Leaving the colony was very irresponsible of you.

Dunban

Well, if you put it like that, there's not much I can say.

Sharla

Sorry, Dunban. That was a bit harsh of me.
I know you didn't come here out of choice.

Dunban

Of course I didn't.
The two of us just didn't make it to the shelter in time.
What other option did we have but to run?

Sharla

You're right.
When the same happened to us...
I ran around Colony 6 looking for Juju like a headless Bunniv.

Dunban

I see. Then you must know how I felt.
You're the eldest sibling as well, aren't you?

 

 

+300

Sharla

Yeah, just like you.
That's probably why we get along so well!

Sharla

Did something bad happen?

 

 

+50

Sharla

I mean...if you don't mind telling me, that is.

Dunban

It was...about 12 years ago, I believe.
Colony 9 was attacked by the Mechon. This is where we fled to.

Sharla

Oh, I see. That sounds horrible.
I was only little at the time as well, but I remember that day.

Dunban

Mechon formed a barrier around our house. I feared the worst.

Sharla

That's when you made a run for it?

Dunban

Yes. But on our way to the shelter, Fiora let go of my hand.
She started running back to get something she'd forgotten.

Sharla

She should have just left it.

Sharla

Didn't she realise how dangerous it was to go back?

Dunban

I agree with you.
But it was a keepsake that reminded her of our mother.
To leave without it was too much for Fiora to bear.

Sharla

I see. She must have cherished it dearly.

Dunban

We barely managed to escape with our lives.
A week passed before we returned to Colony 9.

Sharla

I'm just happy you made it out. And made it back alive.

Dunban

The colonel gave me a bit of an earful when we got back.
He wasn't happy with me to say the least.

Sharla

Haha! Well, he'd probably just spent a week worrying about you.
There are worse things.

 

 

+300

Dunban

Yeah. And when I look back on it now, it's actually quite funny.
Just like any rant from Vangarre!

Sharla

Was it important to her?

 

 

+50

Sharla

So you braved the onslaught and went all the way back?!

Dunban

Yes, that we did.
It was a keepsake that reminded her of our mother.
Losing it would have devastated her.

Sharla

But why didn't you send Fiora to the shelter first?
You could have gone and got it on your own.

Dunban

There was no time.
And...

Sharla

And what?

Dunban

She burst into tears.
She said she didn't want me to leave her on her own.
So with Fiora crying on my back, we braved it all for that keepsake.

Sharla

Wow. That's quite a story.
Sounds like you were as much a hero then as you are today.

Dunban

You think so? Well, thank you, Sharla.
