 * ??: Are you awake?
 * Girl: I found you unconscious on the plains.
 * Lyn: I am Lyn, of the Lorca tribe. You're safe now. Who are you? Can you remember your name?
 * Lyn: Your name is Tactician? What an odd-sounding name... But pay me no mind. It is a good name. I see by your attire that you are a traveler. What brings you to the Sacae plains? Would you share your story with me?
 * Lyn: Hm? What was that noise? (Lyn turns towards the tactician) I'll go see what's happening. Tactician, wait here for me.
 * Lyn: Oh no! Bandits! They must have come down from the Bern Mountains! They must be planning on raiding the local villages. I... I have to stop them! If that's all of them, I think I can handle them on my own. (Lyn turns towards the tactician) You'll be safe in here, Tactician.
 * Lyn: What? You want to help? Well, can you use a weapon? Ah, I see... So you're a strategist by trade? An odd profession, but... Very well. We'll go together!
 * Lyn: Over here! (Lyn turns towards the Tactician) If you want to help, Tactician, I could use your advice. I'll protect you, so stay close to me.
 * In-game message: Unit information: Lyn is the blue unit. The enemy units are red . Tactician, you are green . Essentially, battle consists of blue (allied) units and red (enemy) units taking turns moving on the field. You're only here as a strategist , Tactician. You will only appear during special events.

 * In-game message: Select Lyn.
 * Lyn: There's another bandit over by the ger to the west. You don't know what a ger is? It's a type of round hut. Many nomads live in huts like these. Hmm... I would do well to use this time to administer a little first aid.
 * In-game message: Move to the space marked by the flashing cursor.

Batta is defeated

 * Batta: What? How... How did you--

Turn 5

 * Lyn: Good morning, Tactician! Are you awake yet?
 * Lyn: That fight yesterday must have taken a lot out of you. Say, Tactician... I want to talk to you about something. You have some experience in the ways of war, I can see. Would you allow me to travel with you?
 * Lyn: What? You...want me to get permission from my parents?
 * Lyn: My mother and my father...died six months ago. My people--the Lorca--they don't... I'm the last of my tribe. Bandits attacked, and... they killed so many people. The tribe was scattered. My father was our chieftain, and I wanted to protect our people. But I'm so young, and our people were old-fashioned. They wouldn't follow a woman. No one would follow me.
 * Lyn: Sniff... I'm sorry. I've been alone for so long... No, no more. I will shed no more tears. ... ... ... ...
 * Lyn: Thank you. I'm better now. Tactician, I want--I must become stronger so I may avenge my father's death! Yesterday's battle taught me something. I won't become stronger by sitting here alone. Tactician, tell me you'll train me, that you'll let me travel with you!
 * Lyn: You will? That's wonderful! Thank you! Oh, thank you! We'll be better off working together, I know it. You'll be my master strategist, and I'll be your peerless warrior! We can do it! Right?
 * In-game message: Travel with Lyn, Tactician. Give her your aid, and master the art of combat. Complete the tasks set out in each chapter, and help Lyn in her quest. Turn the instruction window on or off by pressing SELECT.
