I would advise against using the network, but given the circumstances there are no other options.

[ Have a Gandalf appearing on the screen- He looks dead serious, yet somehow calm. Anyone paying attention could notice he looks quite tired as well. ]

I need to know what happened in this tower before my arrival- From the first day people were ‘saved’. If there are people who could give me any relevant information, this would be highly appreciated.

I’m most interested in a child who has been mentioned a couple of time yesterday, I believe his name was Zo. From what little I have read, I assume something terrible must have happened.

I need to see the three of you as quickly as possible. Please come to the library as soon as you can. You know which one.

[ It is sent right after the video feed, and he won’t reply- What he has to speak about with them is too important to be discussed on the network. ]

As a newcomer myself, sir, I'm afraid I can't offer much. However, your report of a child in danger concerns me. Have you any further details?

[the_white_rider]

Not enough I'm afraid. From what little I have gathered, I can say this child worked with our hosts. His views differed and unlike them he may have been a kind and selfless person. I assume they did something terrible to him, judging by how many amongst us worried about his safety yesterday.

Give me a description of this boy, please. My comrades and I will organize a search for him as soon as possible.

I do not have his description yet- But I believe any search would be in vain.

He appears to be of utmost importance to our hosts. He's probably kept prisoner in an inaccessible part of the tower. Not long ago some tried to access such a place, and they were all killed ruthlessly.

[intemperiae]

Be that as it may, sir. But I prefer to trust to certainty rather than speculation. Even if we cannot access specific parts of the Tower, we can still verify he's not trapped on another floor, unable to contact anyone.

[the_white_rider]

You are right, I will communicate you his description as soon as I obtain it. If you follow this feed someone may tell it to me soon.

And you need not to call me sir, Gandalf will be enough.

Much appreciated.

My apologies; I am Sephiroth, General of SOLDIER. A pleasure, though circumstances are far from ideal.

The pleasure is mine, Sephiroth. I hope to speak with you again under better circumstances and I'll contact you if I have news.

[ And the feed will be cut soon after- Someone else is contacting Gandalf. The conversation can be spied though. ]

[ Roughly ten minute latter, Sephiroth will receive a picture of the boy- One that Gandalf just saved from his conversation with the kid. ]

. . .

If you are still here, this would be the boy I mentioned. But make no mistake, he is deeply under their control.

[intemperiae]

I am. Thank you. We will do what we can. Even if we're unable to fully liberate him from them, at least we'll have tried.

[the_white_rider]

Indeed. I wish you best of luck in your attempts.
