42Drieldwin: Finally I've updated after approximately what seems to be 1000 days! Or something like it. I'm sure a lot of you have been awaiting this chapter so I'll try not to keep it from you any longer
/The Renegade Base Answering Machine/
Yuan: Hello, you have reached the number of the Renegade Base—
Botta: (heard in background) Lord Yuan, yo—
Yuan: (speaking slightly louder)—Unfortunately we are not available to answer the Dirk-a-phone right now—
Botta: (Still in backgroud) Lord Yuan, I—
Yuan:—If you wish to reach the Tethe'alla extension, dial 574, if you wish to reach the Sylverant extension, press—
Botta: (still in background, sounding slightly desperate) Lord Yuan!
Yuan: (annoyed) What! What is it? I'm a little busy right now if you didn't notice!
Botta: (apologetically) I apologize Lord Yuan, but I came to tell you that your engagement ring just fell down the drain in the kitchen sink.
Yuan: WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT! (The sound of someone running away followed by loud noises that sound remotely like someone trying to dismantle a sink with a two-bladed sword is heard in the background.)

Message 1: Yuan, this is Kratos speaking. Yggdrasill is still somehow unaware that you are the leader of the Renegades. Anyways, because he cannot seem to locate you, he has asked me to forward this message to you. Yggdrasill recently received a message from an Amelia Ellingwier stating that if he did not change his wardrobe he would have his clothing burned. This woman also said that being badly dressed was an offence against the government. Yggdrasill is angry and confused because he is the government therefore this does not make sense, and he has concluded that the call has probably come from within the ranks of Cruxis. He has assigned you to finding out who this Ellingwier woman is and to exterminate her from Cruxis.

Message 2: Hello Lord Yuan, this is Botta speaking. I wish that you hadn't gotten so agitated over your engagement ring and attacked the plumber when he failed to get your ring out of the drain within five minutes. It didn't help him that you had bent the drainpipe out of shape with your weapon. I hope you're happy to hear that the Flanoir Doctor said that the plumber is expected to make a full recovery. On the other hand, the company is threatening to sue. I hope you have some method of explaining to Yggdrasill why you're being sued when the incident in question occurred in a Renegade Base. You know as well as I how important this operation is. (click)

Message 3: Hiya Yuan. This is Zelos speaking. I'm having some slight problems right now with my life, mostly involving an over sensitive summoner. I was hoping I could hide out at the base for a few days to, you know, lie low. I'm calling in that blank cheque you gave me when you asked me to spy on the Chosen's group. I need shelter!

Message 4: Hello. My name is Thomas Whitbee. I am the lawyer of the Mr. Malcolm, the plumber that was recently hospitalized after a visit to you base. Mr. Malcolm has informed me that he was trying to get a ring out of the sink as fast as he possibly could. I do not yet know who caused him his injuries, however I would like to try and learn more about this incident, perhaps from someone who was present at the time. Please call me back at 555-6785 so that we can arrange a lunch date. Thank you and good-bye. (click)

Message 5: Hello Yuan, this is Genis calling. Raine started talking to me a few days ago about trying to learn more about magitechnology and was thinking of making a trip to your base. I would NOT advise letting her near any of your bases. She recently purchased a tool kit from Meltokio and has been taking everything in our house apart trying to figure out it works. Last time she visited Desian ranch, she accidentally set of the lockdown emergency procedure and everyone who was inside was stuck there for days. On the other hand, if you want to make your base impermeable to intruders…then you might want to get her to set it off…or you might want to set it off prematurely, to keep her out of your base… Just thought I'd warn you. Bye (click)
Drieldwin: That is all for now! I hope to update soon, but knowing me, that won't happen. I plan on doing all sorts of other answering machines, including Sheena, Regal, Presea, Zelos and others! So don't worry!
Cherry-sama: Don't worry? You never update! Unlike me…who tries to update every Wednesday…
Drieldwin: Well you try and juggle school finals, sewing classes, homework, and responsibilities as such, and update at the same time!
Cherry-sama: First off, your finals are over, unlike mine and I'm still working on more fanfics than you! Second off, sewing classes are over since that fashion show you had! Third off, you have no more school, no more homework! Fourth off, I just canceled out all of those 'responsibilities' so what do you mean by 'as such'? Fifth off, all in all, you can update with all this spare time!
Drieldwin: ….My last final was yesterday! And….well… I am a busy person!
Cherry-sama: So?
Drieldwin: You have no idea what my life is like! You have it so easy, you are only (rambles on).
Cherry-sama: My life is much harder than you lead it to be! I still have finals, so (argues back).
Kratos: …I don't think we should try and interfere…
Lloyd: Yeah, blood might be shed….
Sheena: Please review while we try to keep them from scratching each eyes out…
