[Action]

[One shooting star of the many that lit up the sky flew over Seahaven. Like had happened years before, a young man, wearing a military uniform, found himself standing in the middle of town. He looks around, back, forth, then walks around a little bit.]

Seahaven?

[He seems to recognize the place. He also recognizes the moogle. And the rune. Even though he had forgotten about this place when he went home, all the memories are returning to him now.]

Amazing. To think I could have possibly forgotten about this place...

[At least he needs no instruction on how to use the rune. He immediately prepares to start a video message.]

[Video]

[The feed opens up to Athrun, looking serious.]

To those who can hear me: This is Athrun Zala. I don't know how long it's been, or who is still here, but I've returned, it would seem.

First things first -- can anyone provide me with transport to Orb? I'm in Seahaven right now, and I can't find anything about transport there at the port. And until then, I could use a place to stay.

[FACEPALM.]

Has no one seriously thought of that?

[fencerflash]

Well... it's only been a few short weeks. And the Pillars sort of had to be gods and rebuild the world piece by piece?

[infinitejustice]

Well, OK, but still...

[Creating a repository of knowledge should have been high on the list of things to do. It seems only common sense to him.]

Well, what's done is done. We should figure something out in that regard. I'm willing to provide what I can, though I don't know how much that will be.

[fencerflash]

Orb and Ikebukuro probably have the best computer systems in the Havens, so we can construct it. And Orb... well...

[Is decades, if not centuries, ahead of Ikebukuro circa 2010.]

Do you still have Infinite Justice? I wasn't sure if it reappeared when you did.

[infinitejustice]

I don't know.

[He looks a bit worried now.]

I can't find any trace of Orb. I went to the pier earlier, and none of the passenger ships I could find offered it as a destination.

[fencerflash]

Ah... Athrun, I'm sorry. Some parts of the Havens were returned to their worlds. We're still discovering what.

[She puts a hand, gently, on his shoulder.]

If it's out there, we'll find it. And until then, you have Seahaven to stay in.

[infinitejustice]

[He doesn't open his eyes. He just nods.]

Thank you. It's reassuring to have someone I know offer me a place to stay. If it's not here, though...

[fencerflash]

...Then it's back in your world. I... don't know if pieces of worlds can still come here, yet.

[infinitejustice]

Then I suppose that will be my first goal while I'm here. I guess the first thing to do would be to talk to a Pillar.

[fencerflash]

Mm. Good idea. Mikado could help. Or Lucina. Or any of them, of course.
