The lab has seen better days. The lights were not working and the purple glow from the dome was giving everything a trippy look. "Wake up Hojo, its time" commanded JENOVA. Hojo remained slumped on the lab floor before the dome in a heap. The metallic female looked to her accomplice. The figure stood behind Hojo and prodded him with an electro-rod. The scientist leapt to his feet, "AGHH, what?" he moaned. If being almost naked in a strange location surprised Hojo he didn't show it. Instead he peered through his glasses at the dome.
"JENOVA?" he queried. "Listen Hojo" said the robotic statue firmly. "This is what shall be. You will manufacture clones of the following people Sephiroth, President Shin-Ra, Heiddeger, Palmer, Scarlet. Samples have been provided..." the extra-terrestrial began. "And what do I get?" interrupted the professor. "Your life and that she wont harm you" promised JENOVA. "Who?" asked a puzzled Hojo. "Anna step forward please" instructed the metallic alien to the figure behind the ruffled scientist. "Hi Hojo remember me? I get to kill you if you fuck us around" stated the resurrected lab aide pleasantly as she stepped forward. "I won't tolerate incompetence" Anna mimicked sarcastically leaning over hand on her hip. Hojo turned back to face the metal angel, shivering slightly, with Anna by his side.
"Besides Anna here kindly injected some of my cells into you. Which means I can control you if you decide to be disobedient" said JENOVA kindly. "Here's an update. Your son, Sephiroth, is dead. I will use his matured clones as the ultimate soldier to spread my rule. The board members have been eliminated thanks to a drone security guard impersonating President Shin-Ra. These individuals need immediate cloning now as they will consolidate my empire", guaranteed the alien. Hojo was stunned at the sheer scale of it. JENOVA saw that Hojo needed a little more of an incentive. "Just for you Gast will be publicly humiliated and exiled", she said coaxingly.
Hojo stood silently looking at the floor. After a few moments he raised his eyes to face JENOVA. "I accept", he said quietly. A few heartbeats later he commented, "You do realise JENOVA that clones after a period of time develop their personality's, no matter what the conditioning". "Of course" laughed the mechanized creation "how better to control them? I'm even thinking of given the president a child..." Anna decided to join the conversation. "How about a boy called Rufus?" the lab aide giggled, "I used to date someone like that..." JENOVA ignored her helper for the moment. Anna got the message and stopped.
"Conversation over. Begin your work Hojo", said the angel coldly. "Anna assist him" she ordered the docile female. As they turned to leave JENOVA section, the alien finished
"I am the future and you are my puppets"

The life stream pulsed slowly like a relaxed heart. Out of the green liquid came an image of a silver haired warrior. "So now you know as I do. The beginning of the story that others have told" he began. "Now at least you know why it all happened. I was the Sephiroth that went to Nibelheim with Cloud and Zack" spoke the older albino soldier. "I found what JENOVA wanted me to beleive was the truth, lost my mind and died as Sephiroth clone number 57 at the hands of a advanced copy, Cloud". The voice wavered slightly on the word 'died'. "The original Sephiroth told me this before he went to a better place, as he has told each of us copies when we die, the whole truth. Whether we died on the assault on Wutai, the pacification of Gongaga, the truth remains the same. We are all but puppets, who die when the strings are cut". The voice was getting fainter. "And now Aeris you know the truth... you were killed because you could have become the puppet master". The voice disappeared. All that was left was the flow of the river that is the life stream.
