Jack turns to his companions in surprise. Palitutu came here to talk, why didn't they? "Have you forgotten that she's been helping us the entire time? Even when she was back here as Jessie, she was helping us get stronger. All of our useful intelligence on the Calamity? Comes from her. She started the cycle to bring us here. Because Garland can't do his job if we don't do ours. You need the connection to the other worlds in order to refresh this one."

"She fled once we learned that she had started it all, because what would we have done with that information, a year ago? Hunted her down immediately. She watched us to see what we would do, and judged that we were too violent, too ruthless for her to remain. No, this couldn't have been solved earlier, because we didn't know enough. And we wouldn't have trusted it from just being shown it."

"She hasn't harmed us, hasn't disabled anyone's jobs unless we went hunting for her, or someone under her care." Jack spreads his arms out to the sides. "Do you not get it? Ultima Weapon's not to kill us. It's to keep us from killing her. We're the ones that brought an army to a talk."

Back to Palitutu. "You've been helping us, and some of us are grateful. But I don't know what you want us to do with everything you've given us."
