Chapter 6: A Troubling Report (Tseng)

After receiving Rosalind's report, Tseng strode quickly across the office. To say that he hadn't been expecting something like this would have been a gross understatement. Sector 8 was supposed to be peaceful. The Shin-Ra weren't involved in any conflicts with anybody, and the clash with Wutai had settled down a long time ago – this most likely wasn't a matter of nationalistic islanders taking revenge.
The other Turks had all finished the sector patrol mission without a problem. Tseng grimaced. He hadn't wanted the newer Turks involved in anything like this for a while yet.
Knocking on Veld's door, he entered without waiting for a reply.
Veld, the commander-in-chief of the Turks, looked up from his paperwork. "What is it Tseng?" The older man knew it must be pretty serious. Tseng rarely ever got agitated, and he looked pretty hot under the collar just now.
"There seems to be a disturbance in Sector 8," Tseng said tersely. "There have been reports of men planning an attack on the company."
At this, Veld's head snapped up. "Are they working alone or in a group? How are they planning to attack?"
"I've got one of our newer recruits, Rosalind, looking into the situation."
Veld frowned. He didn't like the idea of a new recruit facing something that sounded this serious. "Keep me apprised of the situation and see if you can get someone else in there to act as support."
Tseng nodded, already taking out his PHS. Tapping a few keys, he glanced at his superior. "Reno's in the next sector. He's the closest to Rosalind." Hitting another button, he held the phone to his ear.
"Reno, this is Tseng. Get over to the junction road by the Sector 8 reactor. I'll send you the coordinates in a moment. One of our trainees is in trouble." He hung up and looked at Veld again.
"Good work," Veld said. "We'll have to wait for them to get us more information before we can do anything."
Tseng looked troubled. "Rosalind said the group seems pretty organized. I hope they don't have too much trouble."
