♘ 2 : Video - backdated to 5/26

[The General seemed a bit...piqued, yet at the same time somewhat pleased. He absently stripped a dark liquid substance from his sword blade as he spoke quite calmly.]

As a precaution, I would advise avoiding Floors Four and Thirteen until the Tower maintenance crew - whatever it may be - clear both areas of debris. Anyone traveling to either floor, use caution; do not proceed alone, if possible, as we encountered hostile creatures on both floors last night.

[Hence the needed cleanup.]

Doctor Brown, Marty, my thanks again. [Sephiroth actually smiled, although it was tinged with just a bit of...malice.] Your craftsmanship, Doctor, is masterful. I'm in your debt.

Thirdly, should any residents be interested in joining our impromptu patrols or providing assistance and or support, contact either myself or Zack Fair. Experience preferred, but willingness will suffice under these conditions.

Think there's hostiles on every floor, man. Only place I know for sure is safe is the dorms, but...[he shakes his head] I swear I heard something moving in the hallway outside them the other night.

[Which had been rather disconcerting. But probably not as disconcerting as Zack himself is now, sitting against the wall behind Sephiroth with his arms on his knees and trying not to yawn. Late night patrols keep him from his beauty sleep, that's all.]

[Sephiroth shut off the terminal and gave his companion an arched eyebrow.]

Perhaps, but we know those two are infested, pup. Better to warn everyone than let them walk in blind.

Yeah, I know. [He rubs the back of his neck, and for a moment, it seems that's all he's going to say, also disconcertingly quiet for his normal behavior, but he stands and dusts himself off a moment later, smiling faintly.]

How many of those zombie things do you think we took out? Fifty? I lost count after the first half hour in there.

[Sephiroth was tired, too, Shiva knew, but there were still things to be done before he retired for at least a few hours.]

Mm, maybe. Given their...penchant for decapitation, it's impossible to discern an accurate count.

[A nap and a shower would do them both a world of good, it seemed; trying to stifle that yawn is getting rather difficult for Zack now that he's stood up.]

The fact they just kept coming doesn't help, either. Kill one and there's three more coming at you from all sides. It's annoying.

[Captain Obvious, thy name is Zack Fair.]

Hi! We just wanted to let you know the network is currently inactive unless this post is backdated to the 26th or earlier.

Backdating's fine; there's no date/time specific for the posty.

You're helping the night watch? [ Disgruntled Cloud is frowning at the terminal, looking tired but not too tired. ]

I was told that there's monsters at night on every floor, including the dorms.

Why so surprised, Cloud? [Honestly.]

I haven't noticed any infestations on the dorm levels. [Pause.] Yet. But the floors I mentioned were quite overrun last night, a point of concern for anyone venturing through.

I didn't expect it. [ No, he expected him to go all 'Where's mother?' right now. Yes, he is being a brat too. ]

I was told something is out there waiting for people to leave. [ Not that he looked; he had other things to think about. ] I get the feeling most people stay in their rooms. Something about getting sick if they stay from them too long.

You should have. [Yeah, that was a mild rebuke in Sephiroth's voice. You only get so many free passes, Cloud.]

Perhaps, but I don't intend to simply laze about while hostiles prowl. I will not allow our "captors" the benefit of anyone's fear.

Ah, I must see this debris for myself.

[Forget waiting, he'll take notes.]

There are hostile creatures on every non-residential floor, at night. I doubt killing them will do a great deal of good, as their numbers are likely replenished. It is odd, isn't it, that so few are seen during the day? Yet I doubt they are all nocturnal.

According to my research.

As you like.

[Just don't expect the cavalry should you yell, Professor.]

Perhaps there are. However, those we encountered seemed a bit more intent on reaching the dormitories than previous. Hence their eradication was necessary.

[Excuse his cool clipped tone; he's tired.]

Replenished or not, damage control is necessary.

[He's already been injured. He's not too worried about his physical safety at this point. He moves back, revealing there's some blood on his lab coat--it's his, but there's no way to tell for sure that it's not someone else's.]

Oh, I do like.

Was there some reason, then, to lay waste to two floors rather than guarding the dormitories? Those floors are not... adjacent to the dormitory floors. Not that I would second-guess the general. No, I'm only curious. About this damage control. As an interested resident.

The source is most important.

[Sephiroth gave in to fatigue enough to rub the bridge of his nose, idly wondering why he was even entertaining conversation with the man.]

I had no intention of leaving the dormitory floors unguarded, Professor. Yet if we're to survive here, reconnaissance is necessary, as well as gathering all information possible about enemy locations, habits, ectera.

[And he wanted to make sure his beloved sword was up to par, but not that he'd ever admit that to Hojo. Then he grew stern again.]

However, if, as an interested resident, you choose not to heed the warnings given, on your head be the consequences, Professor.
