Ryu Yamaki:
Are you Locke? I'm Colonel Yamaki, from the Federation Army, Intelligence Sector. Ryu Yamaki. How do you... do? It took me a while to find you. It's because I never imagined the great "Locke the Superman" would be living in a rural town like this. Locke: I'm not a superman. You've got the wrong guy. Ryu Yamaki: Looks like a little storm. Allow me to... Locke: No thanks. Ryu Yamaki: Hey, I'm just trying to help. See more » |
