[When the mirror opens up, it looks as though it's recording through a fog. Lambda can be made out through the haze, the red optic in her visor glowing faintly, along with her sleeping pet cradled in her arms. It's a little harder to make out her surroundings, but if one tries hard enough they'll be able to see she seems to be near the outskirts of the Viridian Pavilion. When Lambda speaks, her voice is muffled and faintly tinny-sounding.]

A number of strange auditory patterns have been detected over a period of approximately the past 36 hours. I am unable to identify their source. However, running system diagnostics returns no errors.

[Her mouth twitches slightly. Could she be frowning?]

Additionally, attempting to navigate the Gardens has yielded a number of special anomalies. Attempting to perform a special transfer through the use of relative coordinates has been unsuccessful.

[In other words... She's lost.]

If you do not feel the situation requires aid, I will wait, but inform me if anything changes. How long have you had this problem with your coordinates?

[So far, she hasn't become what she would consider lost, but the situation may be worsening.]

The spacial anomalies began at approximately the same time as the anomalous auditory patterns. They have been escalating in severity since the time of their inception.

[This is the first time she has experienced them to this degree. For some reason, every path she tries to take leads her back to this point.]

...Akiha-sama has ordered Kris to retrieve me.

That was my observation as well. The anomalies in the Vine's behavior began at about the same time and increased at the same rate.

I'm pleased your comrade will be collecting you.

The animal-- [Sephiroth gestures to the Pokémon in Lambda's arms.] Native to this place, I assume?

[When Sephiroth mentions the creature in her arms, Lambda absently rubs it behind one ear. In return, Hoppip yawns widely.] Yes. [A pause.] She is my pet. [Her robotic speech makes the sentence sound oddly disjointed. It gives the impression that's not something she says very often.]
