- Attention All Gebler Soldiers! Now is the time to let your creativity and musical talent flow! This is... the 1st ever Gebler BATTLE OF THE BANDS! Wrtie your songs, get your hands on some instruments, and jam! All kinds of music are permitted. The winner of this monumentous competition will receive special recognition amongst his peers, a plaque to be mounted in his barracks, and a 5000 G jackpot (to be paid over the course of 5 years) Contact Lt. Klassa for furthur details.-

The flyer hangs taped to the wall outside the Fort Jasper barracks. Meanwhile, in Dazil, another flyer is posted, Casske's shadowy figure grinning as he signs the bottom, and turns back, returning to his gear.

A musical competition? Usually this would be a lovely idea!

But unfortunately, such a notice apparently didn't do its job of inspiring a Gebler-only community of its possibilities.

For a figure cloaked desert-light for travel had stared at that sign, gawking in palest blue wide-eyed. For minutes. Many. Long. Minutes.

"Oh.. my.." Dirah murmered, clasping together hands in a gesture purely of awed cheer, "I absolutely must find a way to enter..."

Nothing better to do, after all. Not while Dazil had its defences up against them. And Dirah's crew certainly deserved a fun little break...

Beside, who could deny the world Dirah's angelic voice?
