Hello! New fic from me! Multi-chap, yay! :D (Dedicated to kysis, whom I promised I would write this for :D)
This is a Final Fantasy VII AU fic, while still retaining many canon elements.
It will be SephGen. Yay :3
Rated T for now. For now I say. xP
Click. Click. Click.
The incessant tapping of a pen against the hard oak table was enough to drive a sane person mental, if one had been present that is.
'This is so boring...'
That was the only thought repeatedly running through the obviously bored, short red headed young Turk. He was actually in a meeting, meant to be listening to the dull banter spewing from the mouth of one of his new colleagues, Elena, whom he thought constantly was obsessing about her job and work. But then again, becoming a female Turk is so rare he could understand her enthusiasm.
Only one other had became a Turk before her, but she tried to leave, wanting to try for a simple life void of the everyday intensities that really are the Shinra Corporation. But we all know what happens to Turks who leave, or try to. She knew too much insider information, so was instantly looked upon as an 'Occupational Hazard', and therefore, taken care of, as he was so articulately told on asking about her.
He had only had this position a few weeks, actually. He applied for the position, not really knowing what it would entail; all he knew was that there would be a hefty pay check involved, and thus his interest was peaked instantly, regardless. Good jobs were just becoming damn near impossible to come by in Midgar. He was told he was to be part of the 'Investigative Sector of the General Affairs Department of the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company' or just 'The Turks' for short.
The interview process had been short and sweet. He had just had to show up, answer some basic questions from some bored looking men, and been hired near instantly. He still was yet to know much about what the Turks actually do, but judging by the fact he was hired, he assumed he had at least some of what they were looking for.
'Genesis…Have you actually been listening?"
"Huh, what?"
He was pulled out of his silent musings by the dull, monotone voice of his superior, Tseng. The man really needed to get laid or something, seriously. His voice barely altered in pitch, and his facial expressions were limited to only two; Pissed Off (Which only registered as a slight lowering of his eyebrows) or calm (Which was as expressionless as a performance zombie)
"Of course I've been listening. What do you take me for?"
"Ok then. Please enlighten us with your view on the current situation"
He was fucked. He remembered the first few minutes or so of the meeting, but he had been completely zoned out for the rest. Tseng obviously suspected as much, as was why he was asking. He did know it was relating in some way to the civil unrest currently happening in the east of town. Some heavy scale riots or something like that.
"Well…Not much can really be done without causing unnecessary damage to civilians, so I think we could just wait it out. Either that or send some Turks to do some surveying and try to establish a ringleader or two, and take them out or arrest them. That would probably defuse it all"
It appeared as though he had successfully bluffed a decent answer. Tseng's expression stayed quite calm. Genesis for one, didn't particularly want to find out if there in fact was an expression above Pissed Off.
"That actually sounds like a decent proposition. Rude, Elena. You two go and scout the area. Try and get a feel for things without raising unnecessary suspicions."
Genesis stood up abruptly in his chair, causing it to scrape harshly against the polished floor boards.
"I suggested the idea, Tseng! Why can't you send me! I haven't seen any action whatsoever while I have had this job. What the hell did you hire me for? If you just wanted someone to sit around reading files you should have told me that was part of the job description."
Tseng sighed, tucking a misplaced piece of hair back behind his ear. His expression didn't flicker once.
"Actually, Genesis, the reason I don't want you partaking in this mission is because I have another one in mind for you. Reno will go with you for the first few days, just to gauge your fieldwork abilities. It shouldn't be too difficult."
Genesis was all ears. Finally, some decent work around here!
"What's the mission?"
"I want you to follow and observe the actions of one SOLDIER 1st class. If you stay out of sight, then you shouldn't raise his suspicions too much; he is much too busy. But we here at the General Affairs Department feel his observation necessary, at least for a while. We don't know what he might do."
"Who's the guy?"
Genesis didn't know many 1st classes, not yet understanding much about the class system that this company runs by.
"Sephiroth. You may have heard of him"
In fact, he hadn't really. He had heard his name mentioned a few times but really knew nothing much about the man and what he did here.
"Just gather us much information as you can about him, but don't let him see you. Follow him and record the places he goes. But there is no telling what he will do if he finds out someone is following him. If you want to mess with someone, he is most definitely not the man"
'Pft, how hard can this be? But finally, a real mission!'
