"Any news on who the hacker could be?"
"no sir"
"when you do find them, inform me immediately"
"of course sir"
"Sephiroth"
"Yes, Director?"
"Any news on the cadets?"
"None seem to be talented enough to be the hacker"
"I see, what about any leads on if they are working with the hacker?"
"We spoke with all the new cadets, and each didn't know a thing, quite a few got lost when the power went out, so if anyone was missing we wouldn't be able to narrow it down"
"I see, dismissed"
"Have you heard?"
"heard what?"
"apparently someone managed to hack into ShinRa"
"really?"
"yeah"
"Damn, beat us to it, but whoever did this is really good"
"agreed"
"apparently boss is looking to hire this hacker if we can find them"
"But what if ShinRa finds the hacker first?"
"then we follow them"
"hmph, well whoever this hacker is they are good, ShinRa was in lockdown and blackout for nearly 4 hours"
"but what was the hacker after?"
"that's the thing, not even the bastards in ShinRa know"
"that is odd, don't they have Reeve? Isn't he, their security detail?"
"Yeah, the thing is, not even he knows how the hacker got past all the firewalls and nearly 100 walls of code"
"so whoever it is is damn good at their job"
"most likely"
"and the boss wants them?"
"yep"
"damn, if we get them on our team, we would be unstoppable"
"indeed"
"there's a but isn't there?"
"but, the hacker completely destroyed their tracks so they wouldn't be traced"
"damn"
"exactly"
"How does someone hack into ShinRa in the middle of the day and cause a massive blackout in the middle of the day!?"
"now that is on another level to AVALANCHE yo"
"it is, and we are to work with Reeve and Scarlet to figure out who did this, or stop them from doing it again"
"Does this mean we are in for multiple allnighters yo?"
"most likely"
"damn it"
"indeed"
"cadet!"
"Sir!"
"take this to Vice President Rufus"
"yes sir!"
"he was kinda cute for a cadet"
"you couldn't see half his face yo"
"still"
"you are weird yo"
"says you!"
"Vice President sir?"
"come in"
"I have papers from Tseng sir"
"Ah, thank you cadet"
"Welcome sir"
"Dismissed"
"Yes sir"
Door closes
"Hmmm, finance reports, blackmail, reports on what was stolen, finance reports... wait"
Paper shuffles as Rufus ShinRa looks at the report on what was stolen, it didn't make sense, there was literally nothing on the report aside from 'files', it's almost like the hacker knew what was going on and took some files, but the question is. Which files did the hacker take?
Not only that, but majority of their files were in paper not on electronics, meaning there was someone on the inside.
But the question would be, who?
AVALANCHE didn't have any hackers that could hack into ShinRa, Wutai was out of the question seeing as they were still at war and didn't have time to hack. So that left a third faction. Probably a whole organisation that they didn't know about.
Humming could be heard from a house off the path away from the village, this house belonged to a family of two, the son was away in Midgar while the mother stayed to provide a safe place for her son.
The woman hummed softly as she moved effortlessly around her kitchen cooking dinner for herself and her guest which she would go and fetch once she had finished the majority of the cooking, the woman smiled to herself as she heard a ping from her laptop, she lowered the temperature of the stove so her cooking wouldn't burn then went to check her laptop to see a message.
Blonde_Fenrir: the place is in orderly chaos
Mama_Dragon: oh?
Blonde_Fenrir: yeah, heard the turkeys talking about all nighters
Mama_Dragon: I see
Blonde_Fenrir: yep, cat figured out about the files just not which ones
Mama_Dragon: I see, you gonna send them soon?
Blonde_Fenrir: not yet, they are planning on doing checks
Mama_Dragon: checks?
Blonde_Fenrir: yeah, like surprise checks of rooms
Mama_Dragon: it's hidden right?
Blonde_Fenrir: yep~
Mama_Dragon: that's my boy
Blonde_Fenrir: any news on Chaos?
Mama_Dragon: none yet
Blonde_Fenrir: hmmm
Blonde_Fenrir: you checked the basement with the coffins?
Mama_Dragon: not yet, I'll do that in a minute
Blonde_Fenrir: Got to go, I hear people coming
Mama_Dragon: be safe
Blonde_Fenrir: always
Blonde_Fenrir is offline
The woman sighed softly with a small smile as she logged off as well and got up to go and get her guest, she knew her son would be safe, she could still worry.
He shifted in his confines of darkness as he felt it. A shift in the air.
Change was coming
Chaos was coming
He heard footsteps approached before hearing a knock above him, then,
Light
"Hello" he heard a female voice say cheerily, he opened his eyes and blinked as he saw a woman with blonde hair in a bun and blue eyes looking at him
"You must be Vincent Valentine EX-TURK" the woman stated causing him to tense
"My name is Nebbia Strife" the woman said with a smile as she held out her hand
"We have much to discuss" she continued
"Over dinner of course"
