Sephiroth was floating inside the dome, suspended in the fluid. Cameras whirred as they focused on the infant balanced like a puppet before the metal female figure. "Sephiroth" spoke someone in maternal tones. "Huh? Where are you! Daddy said you were dead! Why can't I see!" screamed the panic-stricken youngsters consciousness. "Sshh, I'm all around you and daddy lies," the voice said reassuringly "I am JENOVA". "Mommy?" squeaked Sephiroth "I'm scared..." "Hush, don't be. I am going to make you brilliant, into an angel. Its best you sleep now, I'll wake you when its time" the voice finished soothingly. JENOVA silenced Sephiroth's mind and began altering his body and soul inside the purple solution under the watchful eyes of Hojo and his assistant.
There were voices around him Sephiroth realised. This is after mommy he considered. Vague faces watched expectedly. A masked man swayed in front of his vision. Blurred images of gore flashed before Sephiroth's eyes. Arterial blood sprayed chaotically over a blue uniform. A glint of steel before the darkness returned. Then silence.
"I still can't believe Sephiroth lost," murmured Hojo in full surgeons gown. He stood at the foot of the operating table watching the boy's wounds heal. "Even with JENOVA's incredible enhancements. Observe" spoke Hojo as he drew a scalpel across the albino's leg artery. Anna standing behind the scientist flinched as the black blood spurted like a fire hose spraying her facemask with the dark liquid. After a few seconds the flow slowed then ceased leaving only a small scar and the mess on her gown as proof the cut happened. "Incredible" breathed the dumbstruck assistant. "Yes" laughed Hojo evilly "and he still lost to a second class SOLDIER in front of the high and mighty".
Pausing he turned to Anna "why do you think this happened, hmm?" he queried. "Um" stuttered the woman and wilted in his gaze. Finally Anna answered quietly, looking at the floor for an answer. "Because JENOVA needs the subject from an embryo, professor. Which means this subject is going have genetic, psychological and physical faults". The aide looked at Hojo's face. "I'm sorry Professor I only noticed this when I was putting the folder away and there it was at the end of notes" sniffed the teary subordinate.
"Correct Anna and in failing to inform me of this minor fact cost the project" spat Hojo and threw the scalpel into his helper's forehead. Hojo watched contently as she slumped to the floor dead. "Anna I accept your apology, but I cannot tolerate incompetence" the scientist said warmly. Prodding her with his foot to make sure she was dead he was struck by an idea. 'What effect would JENOVA have on the dead I wonder?' his mind queried. Turning to admire his son's rapid recovery he reached for his mobile. "Security, I have a corpse that needs removal to Lab B, JENOVA section immediately," stated the now cold Hojo, turning off the mobile before he heard a reply. The scientist returned to his vigil over Sephiroth.
