Hey, kids, older folk. I've been instructed to introduce myself to the people of this school, so that's what I'm here to do. My name is Cid Highwind. I'm your new transportation officer, to get you to sporting events or relief efforts. Whatever you need, I'm the guy.

But give me any shit on the ride, and you'll be taking your shoes back!

Look, I didn't have much chance to see, him alright? He might'a had white hair. And a long coat. It was a dark color. Like, purple, maybe? No, maybe a red.

So you followed this mysterious flyer from this mysterious stranger to here?

It's not like I just picked up and ran off as soon as I got it! It was good writing, and I thought a lot about it and talked with... with my friends about it. I needed somewhere to go, something to keep doing.

What were you doing before, in this Midgar place?

I was a pilot and an engineer. Not out of Midgar, but Rocket Town. Had to travel sometimes.

Sounds far away from here.

I've been getting that impression for a while now, but the flight wasn't actually all that long. Only a few days.

I don't know, this city. It was never on any maps I knew, and there is nothing familiar on the maps here. I think I need to fly back some time soon, just to prove to myself I still can.

Good luck with that. I've heard mixed tales of people being able to leave, and some that can't.

[It doesn't sound like it bothers her too terribly much--probably because she's never had a problem with it.]

[What did he get himself into.]

How uplifting.

And who are you, anyways? Or is Miss "You're stuck here forever" good enough?

Aran. Samus Aran.

I teach BioMechanical Engineering and Armed weaporny; machines and guns, not necessarily together.

A gal after my own heart. I'm an engineer myself, and know my way around a weapon or two.
