Cover Stories
Note: Something I came up with that's well suited to my non-existent attention span. Short little drabbles for each Shinra employee, talking about their job or their motivations, starting with the Turks. Eventually I hope to get to everyone, but I won't keep going if nobody's into it. R&R, please!

Circumstantial (Rude)
I'm always the one in the room during interrogations.
It's logical. I wouldn't expect anything else. After all, who would be intimidated by the skinny little blonde girl?
Of course I never say anything. Why bother? It's not my job. I get paid to scare the shit out of people. Persuasion without a word.
Oh, we do more than just kill people. How are you supposed to get information from a dead man? There's plenty of variety with this job.
The job. It's really a dream job, isn't it? Yeah, I can just picture some little kid in class on career day saying, "I want to be a Turk when I grow up!"
Even we were human, even children, once.
And let me tell you, none of us were dreaming of this.
Me, Reno, and Elena were all from the slums. What, did you think were misguided rich kids or something? Let the rich kids be doctors and lawyers. Let the slum trash clean up. Don't let the suit fool you.
None of us dreamt of it, but in the slums, few question fate. There's not enough time. People to see, drugs to do, whores to sell. You know the deal. Who's going to sit around daydreaming when there's money to be made? If there's one thing you learn, it's never waste a good opportunity. They're as rare and as hard to succeed with as a 1,000 gil note.
We do what we can, as victims of circumstance.
Let the rich, the Shinra, do what they want.
The Turks will clean it up.
