E-Ashley hugs Clone Lenna while she sleeps.
<Thank you! It's one of my favorite Ashley fanarts. I always imagined she's asked you for something quite sinister, and she's giving you that look to mess with you>
Baby Ashley finishes her water and wipes her mouth. "All better," she says.
The tour begins. Through the delerium inducing heat the crowd marches for more than an hour to get to the first site. There are, however, some of those who were not as enthused...
Person: ... Yeah, it's a book report I was given to work on... Why me?
Another Person: This thing can burn up in ashes, and it wouldn't change a thing!
Interested person: What do you mean? This is the most exciting, mid latitude archaelogical find since... (the loud majority... He is picked up and thrown over a cliff)... I'm okay!
Johnny: Good! I forgot to bring an emergency harness. Sorry!
Do not worry. Dust Bunny flies down and helps him back up.
Dust Bunny: I'm not getting a good feeling about this. Someone's getting paid too much.

Tina anxiously waits for Mario to return, no anxiety uncalled, for she begins to hear wild noises intensifying.
Tina: M-Mr...
Mario: (Behind her. He startles her with speech) I am right here.
Tina: (Jumps in fright) Don't leave me alone again! (Sobs as she runs and hugs him, crying and speaking unintelligibly, since her voice is muffled.)
Mario: It is... okay (taken off guard by the sudden display of panic)... I did not mean to be so long... Where is Gianni? (squints and looms arounnd)
Tina: He left!
Mario: Why? I told him to stay put! We must find him! Come. (He starts to run)
Tina: Wait! Not that way! Dangerous things are over there!
Mario: But we have to find Gianni.
Tina reluctantly follows...

The heads of the Griffon Wing gaze in awe at the finished product, Python. After he is energized, he 'comes to life,' with movements slightly less believable, but nevertheless astoundingly reminiscent demeanor to Solid Snake.
Dumas: Impressive! Say something. What is your name?
Python: Why?... Are you trying to play one of those 'gotcha to say it' tricks?
Dumas smiles as he looks at his colleagues...
