In the chopper, the new gems that have joined the Ghosts are looking down from the helicopter and they are also relaxing in it. Staurolite is looking out the window and down onto the ground.

Staurolite: "I never thought I'd see much of the land from up here. I've been spending most of my time on the ground I've been roaming around in the forests which is what you humans call it, and I've also been hiding."

Ryder: "Hiding? From what?"

Staurolite: "The human wolves. But I do fight humans with less armour. They're easier to kill."

Ryder: "Sentinel. Yeah, they're policing the island more than the Wolves. But that doesn't mean that the Wolves are lazy. They still patrol the island but only if it's a location where Ghosts have been spotted."

Staurolite: "You humans call yourselves Ghosts. Why is that?"

Ryder: "We're unstoppable just like the mythical urban legends, ghosts. We don't fear death."

Staurolite: "Death, isn't that what you humans call shattering?"

Ryder: "Yes. Anyway, you're one tough cookie, has anyone told you that?"

Staurolite: "Cookie? I think you're mistaking me for something else. What's a cookie?"

Ryder: "Shut up, don't tell me you've never tried cookies. Damn."

Jamie: "Ryder, is that the base?"

Ryder looks down to see that they've arrived on the other island and he looks down in awe to see a large campus in the middle of a lake.

Tido: "Holy crap, look at this."

Light Blue Pearl: "Humans made this? It's so big and pretty."

Ryder: "Yeah. Hang on let's land the chopper near this place."

He lands the chopper on the other side of the lake unnoticed and the Ghosts get out and the gems prepare to get out too only for Ryder to stop them.

Ryder: "Stop, wait, we don't want any gem casualties out there, for now, just stay with the chopper, ok?"

Staurolite: "Fine. But I'm certain that you'll regret not needing our aid."
