"We're here, we're here!" Rinoa chuckled, while alighting from their vessel. She looked around and saw Irvine, who was currently discussing something to his Squad members. Irvine finally spotted her and he waved his cowboy hat in her direction. Rinoa flashed again one of her sunniest smiles and waved back her hand. Just then, 2 luxury cars marked 'Government Officials' parked nearby. Three men went out of the first car and another 5 went out of the second. All of them went towards the crowd of students and introduce themselves. "Attention, everyone!" A man clad in a navy blue uniform called out. After he got everyone's attention, he began to clear his throat. "Balamb students, welcome to Winhill. I am Gen. Scott, the personal escort of Governor Jackson." He led the governor in front and began his introduction. "I thought we're meeting the mayor. Where is he?" Raijin whispered to Seifer. He didn't respond. The said governor, in his early forties, began to speak in a quite pleasant manner. "Hello, young fellows, I am Governor Jackson. Me and my comrades will give you the full briefing of your mission in the absence of mayor Alec who is-er-busy right now." "You hear?" Seifer asked Raijin. "As mentioned, we are in completion of the Project Barrier" the governor said. "Just behind Winhill, between two great forests, is a site where geothermal energy is at its peak." General Scott suddenly made his way through the governor's monologue. "We, in turn wanted to make use of this newly-discovered asset for the improvement of our town. As you can see." he continued to blab about how the town imports high range electricity from other countries. Raijin yawned in boredom but Rinoa elbowed him on the ribs. "Sorry," he apologized. "But sad to say, the vicinity is filled with monsters of every kind that's why we want you to eliminate them." He said to the examinees. "There is also an old building near the site where some of Winhill specialists are currently researching. We need you to secure that." "My men here will give you your own assignments," Governor Jackson pointed at the group of men from the second car. Each of them walked towards each squad and began giving out the assignments.
