Cid's Internal Monologue:
("I need a new identity for this world, something that blends in yet allows me to gather the information I need. This place is teeming with unique characters and cultures, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I need to choose a name that carries an air of mystery and strength. How about 'Draven Alucard'? It sounds imposing and fits well with my role-playing style.")
("Now, as for my race... The diversity here is remarkable. The Ancients, with their varied species, each have their own abilities and characteristics. The Sarkaz, with their vulnerability to Oripathy, possess immense combat prowess and dark arts. The Kuranta are known for their knightly valor and physical strength. The Elves, while vulnerable to Oripathy, have an affinity for magic and long lifespans.")
("I need to consider the culture too. Terra is a world where the use of Originium is both a blessing and a curse. It's a society dependent on this mineral, yet it's also the source of their suffering. As someone investigating and potentially combating Oripathy, aligning myself with a race that has a deep connection to magic and combat might be beneficial.")
("Perhaps I could be a Sarkaz, known for their formidable combat skills and dark arts. Their susceptibility to Oripathy would add an extra layer of intrigue to my identity. Draven Alucard, a Sarkaz doctor with a dark past, seeking to understand and cure Oripathy. Yes, that fits perfectly.")
("Draven Alucard, a Sarkaz, will be my new identity. I will blend into this world, learn its secrets, and master its challenges. This world of Terra, with its complex interplay of magic, science, and social dynamics, is the perfect stage for my next grand performance. Let the games begin.")
("This is turning out to be even more interesting than I expected. The way this world functions is fascinating. The battles, the chaos, and now this affliction called Oripathy... It reminds me a lot of Demon Possession from my world. Both are curses that bring suffering and decay.")

Cid (internal monologue): ("Yes, this is what I've been waiting for! The chaos, the strategy, the thrill of battle! Look at how they struggle, how they adapt and counter each move. This is a true clash of tactics and will!")
[A Reunion soldier narrowly hits the Rhodes Island Medic with their attack.]
Medic: Aaaagh--!
Guard: Watch out!!
Medic: I'm fine... It's just a scratch, don't worry...
Amiya: Not good enough... At this rate, they're going to close in on us.
Dobermann: I've already found the weak point in their line, but without reinforcements, it's taking all we have just to hold them back!
Amiya: ...Please hold out a bit longer! Focus your fire on the ranged enemies! Our Casters will take care of their vanguard!
Mephisto: Good, good! This is how things should be! Next up, F3, E5!
Dobermann: This bloody brat...!
Mephisto: Excellent! Now, B4, B5!
Guard: The enemy is now trying to flank us!
Amiya: Take two Defenders and a Sniper! Just keep them busy!
Mephisto: And next! H2, H6!
Medic: They... they're rushing our defensive line!
Ace: Vanguards, flush them out!
