Quistis looks around.
Quistis: Squall! Over here!
He enters.
Quistis: I'll be announcing the squad assignments for the exam now. Let's see... You'll be with...
Quistis: Zell Dincht. Quite a lively fellow.
Squall: Lively? He's just loud. Can't I switch members?
Quistis: I'm afraid that's not possible.
Quistis: Over here, Zell!
FMV: Zell's introduction.
Zell: Whoa! I'm with you!?
Zell offers his hand, but Squall refuses.
Zell's Limit Break Tutorial
Zell: You don't get along with Seifer, do you?
Zell: Heard he whooped you pretty bad this morning.
Squall: We weren't fighting. We were training.
Zell: I bet you he doesn't think so.
Zell: Look, Seifer's just being a pain in the ass. All you have to do is ignore him.
Squall: That's none of your business.
Quistis: None of your business.
Quistis: Ahem... Excuse me, but...
Quistis: That Seifer you're talking about... He's your squad leader.
Zell: SAY WHAT!?
Quistis: It can't be changed.
Quistis: Seifer! Are you here?
He enters, followed by Fujin and Raijin.
(Squall): (Fujin and Raijin tagging along as usual... Guess that makes up the whole disciplinary committee.)
Quistis: You're the squad leader. Good luck to you.
Seifer: ...Instructor. I hate it when people wish me luck.
Seifer: Save those words for a bad student that needs them, eh?
Quistis: Ok then.
Quistis: Good luck, Seifer.
Seifer reacts.
Seifer: Add Instructor Trepe to the list.
(Squall): (The list...? What is it?)
Quistis: Well then.
Quistis: You're all assigned to Squad B. I'll be the instructor in charge.
Quistis: Teamwork is of the utmost importance. Let's get through this exam, everyone!
Seifer: Listen up! Teamwork means staying out of my way. It's a Squad B rule. Don't you forget it!
Headmaster Cid: Everyone here?
Cid enters.
Headmaster Cid: It's been a while, everyone. How's everyone doing?
Headmaster Cid: This exam will involve 12 members from Squads A through D... You will be proceeding to a real battlefield. Obviously, the battles are for real.
Headmaster Cid: Life and death, victory and defeat, honor and disgrace... Each of these go hand in hand. There's only one way or the other.
Headmaster Cid: How 'bout it? Are you still up for it?
Headmaster Cid: You will be accompanied by 9 SeeD members. Should you fail, these members shall get the job done. They always do.
Headmaster Cid: Well, that's one less worry on your mind.
Headmaster Cid: The pride of Balamb Garden! The elite mercenary force, SeeD!
Headmaster Cid: Learn from them, obey their commands and accomplish the mission.
Headmaster Cid: Prove yourself worthy of becoming a member of SeeD.
Headmaster Cid: Best of luck.
Seifer and co. leave.

Zell: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?
Seifer: Heheheheh...
Quistis (stands): Knock it off!
Zell sits.
Squall: ...Instructor...
Squall: Who was that girl in the infirmary this morning?
Quistis: Was someone there? I didn't notice anybody.
Quistis: Is there a problem?
Squall: No...not really...
Seifer: This is great... I have a Chicken-wuss and a guy who just reached puberty in my squad...

Squall: So that's the vessel...?
Seifer: Ain't no turning back now. Huh? You scared, too?
Garden Staff: Hey! You guys are the last! Hurry up and get in!

The ship heads out to sea.
On board
Xu enters, and salutes. Quistis returns the salute.
Xu: Hi, Quistis.
Quistis: Well, these are the members of Squad B.
Zell (salutes): Nice to meet ya!
Squall (salutes): Pleased to meet you...
Xu: Seifer, how many times has it been now?
Seifer: Oh, I just love these exams...
Xu: I'll explain the current situation and the mission.
She heads to the front on the ship.
Xu: Be seated!
Zell sits.
Xu: Our client for this mission is the Dollet Dukedom Parliament.
Xu: A request for SeeD was made 18 hours ago.
Various schematics and diagrams flash up on the monitor as she speaks.
Xu: Dollet has been under attack by the G-Army since about 72 hours ago.
Xu: 49 hours into the battle, Dollet abandoned their position in the inner city. Currently, they have retreated into the nearby mountains and are reorganizing their troops.
Xu: That's the current status. Now onto the mission objective.
Xu: According to our reports, the G-Army is mopping up the Dollet troops in the mountain region.
Xu: We're to make a landing at Lapin Beach. We're to eliminate the remaining G-Army within the city and liberate it A.S.A.P.
Xu: Afterwards, SeeD members will intercept any G-Army forces trying to make their way into the city from the mountain region.
The slides stop.
Seifer: So, what are WE supposed to do?
Xu: SeeD candidates are to eliminate the G-Army inside the city.
Zell: Sounds important!
Seifer: Sounds boring.
Seifer: So what you're saying is, we do all the little, dirty work...
Xu: .........
Xu: Oh, it hardly needs to be said, but... The order to withdraw takes priority. Do not forget.
Xu: We're almost there. We anticipate a battle as soon as we disembark. Just be prepared.
Xu: That's all. Any questions, talk to Quistis.
Zell and Quistis allow Xu to leave.
(Squall): (Hmmm...)
* Talk to Quistis
* Talk to Seifer
* Talk to Zell
Todo: All of the above. * Do nothing

We'll be landing pretty soon. Get ready.
Squall: Alright.
Zell: Roger.
Seifer: Yeah, yeah...
Seifer: Well then, Squall. Go see what's going on outside.
Squall: .........
* ......Ok
Squall: ......Ok.
Seifer: Good. Because it's MY order.
Squall gets up and leaves.
* No Todo
FMV: Dollet landing.
