Said simply, Rufus is messed up right now. He's detained in my office and wants out. Consider him a danger to himself and others, and that includes all of us. The only people allowed near my office are me, Elena, and Tseng. If you talk to him over the network, try not to get him excited.

I want at least two of you in the offices outside at all times. Keep the door locked when not in use; don't keep the keys on you, hide them. When Elena or I go in and out of my office, I need one of you there on standby. ...I don't think he cares who he's dealing with. He's unarmed, but I'm not sure he won't try anything crazy. If he gets through me or Elena, you have permission to use force--be smart about it. Know that there is a bottle of chloroform in the file cabinet in the corner. Ken: will you direct this team?

If you're not doing that, continue with the repair work. ...But be on your guard.

[EDIT//ACCESSIBLE TO SHINRA SECURITY]

I am issuing a KOS order for any intruder who attempts to free or otherwise capture President ShinRa. I repeat: intruders are to be killed on sight.

It's as Elena said. She and I will take care of the surveillance rotation.

Tseng, report in ASAP.

((ooc; yes, he's officially afflicted with the truth curse. |D Go to town!))

[seemingly endless silence.]

...

[the voice is low and strong, but undeniably feminine.] Why.

Yeah, yeah, okay, so. Lots of work to be done, people, so let's hurry it up and get on that and we can all go home or back to wherever you prefer to go at night. Trust me, I'm juuuuust as ready for a vacation as the rest of you, but them's the breaks. So!

...Uh.

Actually, I think that was all I had to say, but I'll be sure and let you know if it's not.

[EDIT]

See, look, I kept my promise.

Enjoy your day off if you want it, Turks. Under recommendation of the president.

Look outside. There's a problem.

Sir: recommended actions?


---

ETA [PUBLIC]: There's a large hole near the east side of the ShinRa building. Don't fall in.

...Don't know how. Everybody here. Seriously. Like there's something in the water.

...

Whatever it is, I'm sure not drinkin' it. Damn.

All Turks are to choose one of them and arrange a time to spar.

---

Hey, you. Sure. Let's go.

Listen up. ...Veld's doing what he's doing. He answers to the President only; no doubt he'll be taking responsibility for the things he does. No one else do anything drastic until we have orders and know what's going on.

...It was a good night.


( Private to Reno//Hackable. )

...Where do you wanna meet?

...You going, Reno?

[EDIT:] ( Private to Tifa//TO SPARE HIMSELF THE PUBLIC RIBBING. )

...... Reno.

...Better this way.

...

...

...

Don't use my name in public until this is over.

.........




















Orders.

Elena, Yachiru, Rod.

Investigate the scene. Elena's in charge.



Tseng.

Head security when you're able to leave.



Kanan.

Continue keeping people informed. Make it as secure as you can.



Reno, Ondrea, Ken.

President. You're with me.



All others.

Maintain security.



( Private to Tseng, Veld, and Jericho. )

All Turks are to report to Tseng immediately.

...........................

I've got... ... ... ... ...a lot of food. Dunno how it goes with bourbon.
