Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Page #5

Is the general suggesting

that Dr. Ross is a spy?

The general is wondering why

he's explaining himself to a captain.

She's had prolonged exposure

to Phantom tissue.

If this begins to manifest itself in any way...

...Dr. Ross is to be placed under arrest

and transported here for observation.

It is, in fact, for her own good, Captain.

Of course, sir.

Major, send some of our men

to keep an eye on the good captain.

I'm convinced these dreams

are some form of communication.

The message still eludes me...

...but they're coming faster now

and that can only mean one thing.

The Phantoms inside me

are beginning to win.

Our target is 50 klicks

west of Tucson.

Phantom concentration?

Not good.

We've got big metas everywhere.

It's gonna be a real picnic.

Stick close to me. No heroics today.

Everything by the book.

By the book. Right.

If we drop energy buoys

here, here and here...

...we can acquire the target and get

out before they know we were there.

The buoys attract the Phantoms?

-Yeah.

-For a while.

So you're from the 307th, right?

Under General Hein?

Ever done wasteland recon before?

It can get pretty ugly.

Captain, rendezvous for evac at

vector 6, coordinate 279.

Roger. Stay alert for hostiles.

Looks llke they've taken the bait.

The seventh spirit should be

just beyond that llne of wreckage.

How could any llving thing

survive out here?

We'll find out soon enough.

This was the Phantom Cleansing Mission.

It was supposed to end the war.

My father's in here somewhere.

All right.

Let's move out, people.

I'll be damned.

A survivor.

What's it doing out here?

Hoping for llfe to return.

Is that our spirit, doc?

No.

We're closing in on the llfe form.

-Distance?

-Hard to say. We're very close.

I don't see anything.

-You're not gonna tell me it's him?

-That's impossible.

It's not the soldier. It's his ovo-pac.

How do you explain that? The pacs power

our weapons, the barrier cities....

I mean it's just bio-etheric energy.

To create that energy we use

llving tissue. Single-cell organisms.

-You're telling me that his backpack is the seventh spirit?

-Yes.

We have incoming.

Captain? Do read me?

Say again?

We have incoming.

Ryan, get the soldier's pac.

I need a hand! Sarge!

-Those buoys? They're not working.

-Yeah.

-Are you all right?

-Of course, I am.

Let's get the hell out of here!

Something's not right. This shouldn't be happening.

Something's attracting them.

Aki!

-They're right on us, sir, closing in fast!

-Jane, take the lead.

Fire in the hole!

Get us out of here, Neil.

-Sir, I would love to, but I ...

-Just do it!

Okay, that's it.

That doesn't look good.
