==Story==
Staffed by the WRO, the Shera prepares for combat. Aboard the airship, the group explains their strategy for the upcoming battle; while Cloud, Tifa and Barret lead the ground assault with the remaining WRO troops, Cid, Yuffie, Vincent, and Reeve will lead the air assault with the aid of Shelke. Shelke and Cait Sith perform a Synaptic Net Dive while in the medical bay, showing the group Lucrecia's defragmented research and the data that Cait Sith gathered: Omega is a Weapon, the ultimate lifeform, whose purpose is to gather all life in the lifestream in case of the planet's demise and fly to the sea of stars to populate another. Normally, Omega would be no threat to the people of the planet, only manifesting when the planet detects an existential threat to itself, but Deepground is attempting to trigger it early by slaughtering thousands of pure souls, tricking the planet into thinking the end was near. In order to accomplish this, Deepground has tied all of Midgar's mako reactors to Mako Reactor 0, where Omega begins to stir. The assault teams will attempt to destroy the other mako reactors to slow the reanimation process alongside the ground forces. Meanwhile Vincent will focus on fighting the remaining Tsviets. While waiting for the assault to begin, Vincent nearly loses control of Chaos but is stopped by a vision of Lucrecia as Shelke looks on.
As the assault nearly begins, Shelke returns Vincent's phone to him, having retrieved it in Kalm, and asks that he contact her during the operation in order to help him. Reluctant to appear too eager to help, Shelke clarifies that she only wishes to follow Vincent's movements to allow her to restore Doctor Crecent's data within her network. When Vincent agrees and tells her he's counting on her help, Shelke stammers that she's never been counted on before, which prompts Reeve to ask her to care for the airship with the crew is away, stating that he too is counting on her before leaving.
