That damned disembodied voice again, and it wasn't even as if what it was saying was good news. Dias had never heard of a 'self-destruct' sequence before, but it was kind of a self-explanatory phrase...the only comforting part involved the numbers the voice mentioned. Ninety-nine minutes and ninety-something seconds - if they had that long to get out, that would be plenty of time, at least depending on how far they'd need to get away from the place. The biggest concern would be getting the entire crowd out without leaving anyone behind.

"I can walk out of here if I can lean on somebody's shoulder, but I don't know about Cloud here."

Ah, yes, there was that too. Edgeworth had offered to support the dark-haired man(who, by process of elimination, had to be Zack), and Maya seemed well enough to fling herself on the unsuspecting man in the suit, so that only left the blond-haired man. And as no one else seemed to be paying him a whole lot of attention...that left Dias.

This had not been one of the more illustrious jobs of his mercenary career.

To Dias' credit, however, he didn't waste time complaining out loud. He walked over to Cloud, kneeling down beside him. "Come on," he said with only a hint of impatience, gesturing for the man to use him as support. While he waited for that, he scanned their group, doing a quick mental count.

...wait, weren't they one person short...?
