[The camera blinks on focusing on the background where the pilot is standing at a window. Pulling open the tattered old drapes he lets the light spill in, revealing a sleeping figure in the foreground.]

Morn'n starshine! Up an at'em, sure you wanna get a looksy at that floorspace, tell me if it'll do for your crazy R and D's an--

Huh.

[Turning around he scratches his temple under his goggles before striding over to the figure. The scream focuses and reveals the clear profile of Professor Lucrecia lost in a deep sleep.]

Still dose'n eh?

[Despite finding her in the street during all the chaos he took her plight lightly just as a way to psyche himself out and not lose his cool. Taking off his glove with a pull of his teeth, he touches two fingers to her neck.]

Pulse is still stable but I'm no doc.

[Glancing up at the blinking screen his concerned demeanor snaps into one of that familiar steadfast urgency.]

Yo Vin, if you're out there an' not flip'n your shit, you best get over here, 510L, otherwise I'm take'n her over to the clinic. Sounds like everyone's taken their chill-pills 'bout now.

Well thank Gaia for that then!

Cool I'll hold up till you get here, her lil' girl Amu's come'n along too, poor girl's worried sick, bless her heart.

Anyone else interested in her besides her friends?

Some guy claim'n to be her brother. Never heard'a him, but he sounds bit too obnoxious for my liking.

Hm, I believe that would be Kadaj. He has decided to treat Lucrecia like a sister for some unknown reason.

Ka-daj.. Kadaj.. now I.. I swear I know that name-ah.. OH SHI-- you mean THAT MAGGOT?

@#$%# and he's s'pose to be some remnant'a you an.. paradoxically speak'n he shouldn't even BE HERE at the same time as you an'--phew that's a doozy on even my awesome brain.

Look. I don't got any prob' with you, but that lil' shit's somethin' else entirely. ~~Can't believe I'm ask'n this shit.~~ Is he trustworthy? He's try'n to nose his way into this business an' I got the right mind not to leave him anywhere alone with .. well, your ma of all people here.

Tell him I will be there if you do not like the idea of him hanging around her. I do not think he has too much malice in him to harm her, quite the opposite in fact.

Yes, so I have been told about my relationship to him. But since I have seen people from different times appear here, most of them from after my slip into insanity, I am not too surprised of his appearance.

Yea guess I shouldn't be either, crazier shit has happened. Jes' feel like if I start get'n used to this crap, it wont feel the same once we get back home to some semblance of uh.. well.. normalcy.

If that's the case though 'bout him, can't damn a guy for be'n so damn insistent on look'n after her.. still though, what went on with those missing kids, and.. yea maybe I don't got the whole story. But my gut feel'n's tell'n me to put up a cold front.

True. This is suppose to be like a nightmare to those that return home.

No one has told me much about what he and his brothers did for Jenova and myself.

An' that's what I'm gonna treat it as. Tolerate it, maybe. Accept it as my new reality, hell no.

Story's pretty complicated from how I heard it an' even saw it. After Meteorfall those at ground-zero, where the Lifestream conjured most and came in direct contact with it, got caught with a disease call the Planet Scar Syndrome syndrome--Geo-stig-ma.

Somethin' 'bout, Jenova still infesting the Lifestream.. an' well, that disease was actually her cells attack'n the host that felt the brunt of the Lifestream.

Anywho, kids were a main target'a this 'cause their immune systems just can't fight it. Whatever was in those kids, that maggot and his two stooges wanted. Took a good girl an' boy Marlene an' Denzel an use'd 'em for whatever sick ritual. Honestly the details are @#$%'n botched on me. The maggot summoned some lame bug version'a Bahamut, shit went down in Edge city, we were called in to kick ass, an' Cloud went to have a man-to-man throw-down with'a "you", I think.

All'uva sudden it starts rain'n and BAM, disease is finito. Tifa tells me it was Aerith all'along, but if that's the case, girl sure did take her sweet-ass time cure'n everyone--@#$$%^%don'ttellherIsaidthat.

That sounds entirely too complex of a plan considering the creature's goals. I would think that a tactical strike would work better then long term diseases. As for getting rid of a disease, the best way would be to first get rid of the largest cell cluster and then treat the rest with its killer. That was probably why it took so long.

I can understand your mistrust given what I am hearing, but I shall warn you not to get him riled up - I do not enjoy stabbing other pieces of myself even if they do deserve it.

Huh, explain'n it that way makes a whole helluva lot more sense.

Shit seem'sa bit too late for that, but I'll lay off for now, not look'n for a throw-down myself, specially when I wanna keep some peace-a-mind for Lu's sake.

Blame the explanation on countless hours in a lab.

Thank you. I know it must be hard but I doubt she would like us to be fighting while she is recovering.

I'll take your word for it, I was more out an' about in lab maintenance for a spell. Damn whitecoats blew shit up faster than I could fix it.

Uh yeah, no prob'.

I was probably the cause for some malfunctioning machines. I did have some fun using gum and other substances to slow the equipment down.

Oh pfft THANKS PAL, just LOVED hear'n them nasaly bastards gripe on 'bout how it was my bad handywork that kept the lifts overheating an' shutting down due to a jam in the @#%&'n fan. Ksh, all them extra malfunctions did pay a pretty gil, so I'll let ya off the hook.

I would have thought that they would have noticed that I found the whole thing rather funny and that there was some pink substance in the pipes on number occasions.

Yeah that was just nasty and a waste'a perfectly good gum, try a buildup of silica next time an' that'll really clog-em for weeks. Here I thought those assholes were jes' @#$%'n with me after they'd offer me a stick in exchange for my cigs cause of that damn no-smoking policy, only to find that pink crap everywhere.

Hojo had tried switching the gum for suckers, but I think he reconsidered after someone started leaving the candy in his test tubes. What it did to the mako was just unsightly and he had to have a nap when one of the animals gotten into a whole bag of them and was on a sugar rush for about ten hours.

PFFFTAHAHAA! Now what I wouldnt'a gave to see that mess! Never imagined ya'd be such a lil' instigator.

I was a bored, hyperactive boy stuck in a big lab with a group of scientists who would rather talk about their work then entertain me. I had to make what I could with what I had.

Sound like a real grade-A hellion. Had t'grow up entertain'n myself as a kid, what with live'n in the no-where boonies. Favorite passtime was jump'n off the roof. Went to see how many times I could skirt break'n my legs before Pop threatened to saw 'em off.

I tried that a couple times, but then I grew bored with it. It seems I had a knack for landing on my feet early on in my childhood.
