[Ring, ring. Hope you're not busy, because this is important.]

[Luckily, he isn't at the moment, so he picks up after the first few rings.]

Yes?

[Oh, good, it worked. Cecil's still getting used to the Sky Phones.]

This is Cecil. If I'm not interrupting anything, I have a request.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Ah, Cecil.

No, you are not. What is it?

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

If my understanding is correct, the two remaining crystals that have yet to be found are likely to appear at any time, and in any location. At the meeting with the heads of state yesterday, Celes suggested we ought to have a team ready to leave to retrieve the crystals at a moment's notice. If we learn where they are, gathering a group to secure them quickly and efficiently will be vital.

Thus, I volunteered you to lead such a task. Are you willing?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Of course I would be. The crystals are the key to finding and defeating Garland. It would be folly to be unprepared to retrieve them from wherever they might end up, especially if one was to appear in the hands of Lufene or one of our other enemies, as the second crystal did.

If this is to be a team, have other members been suggested?

My son and Celes volunteered themselves, as did Princess Ursula, although she is likely to be preoccupied with her new responsiblities for some time. Would the other Warriors of Cosmos be suitable?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I have not been able to meet Ursula, though I have spoken to Ceodore. He seems to be very capable.

If they are willing, most certainly. I would welcome you all, but I know that there are other responsibilities that take hold. [Family and ruling over an area would make it difficult to leave at a moment's notice, after all.]

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

He's very capable, though modest. He does not always possess the faith in himself he should have.

Ah -- I will not be going. [Aside from Cecil's duties to Troia, this is Ceodore's chance to prove himself. He won't interfere.] If you could assemble a team of those willing to assist and report back to either myself or Regent Cid, we would be grateful.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

There is nothing wrong with being reasonably confident in one's skills. I hope that he will come to realize that.

I understand. I will be sure to do that, then. Thank you for telling me, Cecil.
