Ramza frowned. "There was a battle? Simon did not mention that." A battle was much more clear-cut than all of this vague Calamity business, even if Ramza had no idea what a 'magitek research facility' was. If there was a fight, there must be an enemy, and that seemed a good starting point for solving the mystery of this quest of theirs. "Were you Heroes triumphant?"

Ramza assumed they had been victorious, or at least that it had ended as a draw, as Cloud had obviously survived the encounter, but it seemed strange that it had not been mentioned before now.
