A/N: YO! BlackChaos here! I managed to get Chibi out for now by sending him shopping. Honestly, give him money and a game store, and you'll never see him again, but is that totally a good thing in the long run...? Anyway, here's chapter 2...CHIBI!! STAY AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT BLOWTORCH!!!!
Chapter 2
Debrief
"We came, we saw, WE BURNED!!! One former Deepground base, served up burned!"
"(Sigh) Reno, is it just me, or do you enjoy this job a bit too much?"
"It's just you."
Reno laughed as he sat down, throwing the briefcase on the table and loosening his already undone collar. Tseng sat down and placed his briefcase next to him, and basically everyone else did the same. It was at this point that this meeting truly began. Reeve Tuesti walked into the briefing room, hands behind his back, and sat at the head of the table.
"Now then, is everyone accounted for?"
"The Chairman's missing."
"Really? I'm sorry I'm late. This building is just too big." Rufus Shinra walked in the door and sat down in the seat next to Reeve's.
"Good. Now then, all the operatives are present?"
"Yes. The head officer of every force in our last mission is present and accounted for."
"Excellent. Time for the debriefing. Everyone, please present the obtained information." At this, everyone then placed the briefcases on the table and opened them. Inside were vast documents. Reno's partner, however, just sighed and put his feet on the table. Reno laughed.
"You know, Sirius, I'm the least official member of the Turks, and I don't do that!"
His partner sighed. "Right. But what can you do about it?" Reeve just glared at the man. "Agent Sirius Crescent, I tolerate your unorthodox methods of work, but please, show some proper respect."
Sirius just sighed. "Fine." He immediately removed his feet from the table.
"Good. Now then, report:"
Elena stood up first. "The Special Operations Unit completed their task as requested, Chairman Rufus. We entered the headquarters, and immediately faced a swarm of soldiers. We managed to get some to join the WRO forces, and those men are being debriefed and trained in protocol as we speak. We then intercepted the requested documents, and from there left the premises so the remaining forces could complete their assignments."
"Very good. Take your seat." Elena sat down and Tseng immediately stood.
"The Elite Operation Task Force succeeded as well. We entered the area in question, and were immediately caught in an ambush. From there, we defeated the enemy, gained new WRO operatives, and went on to search for the documents. After receiving the documents, we left the location and headed for the helicopter."
"Excellent, you may be seated." Tseng took his seat, and Rude rose up.
"The heavy assault force completed their instructions to the letter. We entered the headquarters and immediately began the assault. Within minutes, we were attacked by a group of three enemy commanders. They were defeated, and immediately defected after a display of mercy. We then proceeded to obtain said documents, and from there retreated from the headquarters."
"Excellent, take your seat." Rude seated himself, and Cloud, Vincent, Reno and Sirius stood.
"As for the main force, they separated from us soon after we entered the area. However, it is clear that they succeeded in their mission. I leave the rest of my explanation to my partner."
"Good, you may be seated." Reno took his seat, and Sirius remained up.
"As for the freelance operatives such as myself, the mission was a clear success. We obtained defectors, and obtained the documents. Before we left, we made sure that all other operatives had left the premises."
"Is that correct, Cloud?"
"Yes, Reeve."
"Good. You may all be seated."
They all took their seats and began to spread the documents around the table. Sirius just murmured something.
"Sirius, you know I hate it when you murmur. What did you say?"
Sirius just glared at his boss. "I said it was a waste of time to gain defectors, they can't be trusted."
Elena stood up, angry. "They're just as trustworthy as you, if not more-so! Think before you speak, even you would know that. It's basic Turk training, you ARE an ex-Turk after all."
Sirius just grunted at her. "Whatever. People aren't always as trustworthy as they appear. Even people who swear to give their lives for others, I should know, and so should you, Rufus."
Rufus just sighed and put his hand to his face. "Sirius, if this is about Cringe..."
"Of course it's about Cringe! My partner betrayed me to try and kill you!"
"He was a hitman."
"Huh?"
"We uncovered some documents and hidden reports. Cringe never swore a true allegiance to the Turks. He was specifically hired to infiltrate our security, and kill me."
"...He used me."
"Yes. To him, you were just a tool to get to me."
"I see. I was just a tool. Doesn't surprise me." Sirius immediately got up and stormed out of the room.
"Where the hell are you going?!"
"The Questacotl."
"Your ship? Why?!"
"I'm going with my men, we ARE a mercenary group after all. Time to go find a job to do."
"You're doing your current job now!"
"You know that I barely take anything for this."
"Crescent, sit down."
"Blow it out your ass."
"NOW." Sirius sighed and continued to walk away.
"I think you will want this." Sirius turned around and looked at the file in Reeve's hand.
"Is that...?"
"Yes."
"Give it to me."
"Stay and I will."
"Give. Me. That. Now."
"Sit. Down." Sirius groaned and sat down, and so the meeting continued.
"Anyway, these documents will need to be processed and the defectors will need to be trained on WRO procedure and etiquette. Do any of you have any ideas whatsoever about what these documents contain?"
"Some have information of Weiss' plans, some on Hojo's experiments and sadistic plans, Omega reports, and most interestingly, all three G reports, and some that weren't even supposed to exist, seven more to be exact, and we have yet to read them."
"Very interesting. Let me start going through those as soon as possible, Rufus, care to help me?"
"I suppose I should try and find out what else Scarlet, Heidegger, and Hojo didn't tell me. Very well."
Reeve stood up, sorting files and putting certain ones in his briefcase. "Very well, this debriefing is over." As everyone got up and left, Reeve stopped Sirius before he could leave.
"Sirius."
"What?" Reeve gave him the document he was holding beforehand.
"Here." He then proceeded to give him several more.
"You'd be surprised exactly WHAT we didn't know. Take them." Sirius just smiled and took the documents.
"You do realize we aren't even just because of this, right, Reeve?"
"Yeah, but it feels good to help a friend."
"Touché. Later, Reeve." And Sirius walked off toward the hangar, not looking back.
"(Sigh) Looking through these files is going to probably horrify me more than enlighten me."
"Agreed." Rufus walked out from behind the corner and shook his head.
"You know, eavesdropping is highly dishonorable and rude."
"Sirius has taken care of me since I was on the other side of Gaia, he's my best friend and I want to make sure he's enlightened with everything about Cringe and what Shinra decided to report about his past."
"I see. So he watches out for you, you watch out for him."
"No, I just make sure he's kept in the loop, he hates being kept out of the loop."
"Got it. Shall we take a look at these files?"
"Let's."
A/N: Chibi's asleep for the moment, so I'm taking over for him. Please, readers out there, if you don't hate this story, please review and say something about this story, PLEASE! Sorry, I know the story's only been up for a day, but I just get nervous when people don't review, makes me think people hate my work. Please review, I don't write well when I'm nervous. Once again, sorry, and I'll update again soon. BlackChaos, out.
