The Conditions of Madness and The Hope That Never Solves Them

by Quinhwyvar

How many years has it been? How much of my life has been obliterated by Shinra? How many people hurt me? Sephiroth stares at his broken memories and wonders who cared about the boy dying in the hands of Shinra. No one wants to listen to his quiet screams except you.

Report:

On March 30th, Surveillance flagged and reported the following phone text conversation between Subject ID #54924 (further referred to as "R") and Subject ID #1227 (further referred to as "S").

Document A Excerpt (sent between 20:13-22:22):

R: Hey [S]. What are you up to?
S: Dinner and a show.
R: WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?
S: Footage from a battle from the south. We're trying to find adequate combat patterns.
R: …
R: You think you are funny, don't you?
S: Yes.
R: Hush. Hey. I need to see you, like, in person. I know you have too many vacation days. Can we meet?
S: Yes. Of course.
R: I know I need to come to you, right? So how close do I need to get?
S: Mideast continent at least. I can't go any further away from Wutai.
R: Right. Let me figure it out. I'll get back to you. Watch something fun.
R: Here. This is a video of cats drunk on catnip. [link removed]
S: I'll watch it later after I finish the battle footage.

[86 minutes pass]
R: Okay. How about this little janky town called Tersdi? It's like closeish to Rocket Town? I can afford it basically. I can get away on April 7th. We can hang out for a day or two?
S: I'll put in the time off request.
R: You are the best. 3

[remainder of Excerpt of Document A attached.]

A follow-up telephone call is attached for March 31st (Document B - Audio Transcript) in which the travel information is confirmed between the two parties.

We have confirmed that two reservations for both R and S have been made for April 7th and 8th at Oak Manor Hotel. S has requested the vacation time and has arranged for travel. It has been approved by S' commanding officer.

Two Turks that are not familiar to S are needed to tail them to ensure that they do not need to fulfill the standing orders regarding the relationship between R and S. The hotel room cannot be bugged due to S's level of training in surveillance. Neither R or S turn off their phones so primary surveillance shall be through their telecommunication devices.

If conditions are met, Shinra will be in direct violation of Clause 32A in classified document (J&S 84) issued and approved by the Board of Directors of Shinra and VIPs. It is proposed that Subject ID #1227 "S" has more value to the Company than Subject ID #54924 "R". To further preserve "S" and to not proceed to the executive function in classified document (J&S 84), the Turks need standing orders and clearance to proceed with Proposal 2.

Overseeing Agent for S will attempt to confirm with S that interactions of a sexual matter have taken place before Proposal 2 is implemented.

The full Proposal 2 mission (Document C) is attached detailing possible manners of removal.

Subject ID #1227 program continues regardless of outcome.
