Modeoheim. It was a cold and desolate place- you were headed there with Tseng, a Turk, Zack Fair, a SOLDIER and another fellow infantryman.

Unfortunately, the helicopter you all were in crashed, leading to the four of you wandering the snowy mountains. You've lived in this climate, you're familiar with the way, and you're keeping up with the SOLDIER, and the other infantryman with you.

It's nice, and soon you're all introduced. The infantryman is Cloud, and the SOLDIER is, of course, Zack.
