[From atop Alexandria Castle's battlements, the camera shows a view over the city and to the plains beyond. In the distance, a certain familiar structure approaches...]

Your Majesty, you were right! The Garden is approaching!

All soldiers, to arms! Defend the city! Allow none to enter!

Dear me, what a to-do...

Well, I'm afraid I have more bad news. It seems that the stories of the Sky People are true, or at least inasmuch that time has moved on much faster than we thought. I've been observing the night sky for the past few nights now, and the phases of the moons alone present very convincing evidence...

I think we had better revise our calendars. Today's date is 30th August, 1804. We have lost a week! Quite how this happened, I can't be sure, or indeed what happened during those missing days... I would speculate that this incident is related to the time skip we experienced last year, but I would like to research the matter further.

Goodness me, I haven't introduced myself, have I? My name is Doctor Tot. I am a scholar living in the city of Treno. To all those listening to this message, please know that I am always available to offer what advice I can and to answer your questions. I'd certainly like to hear more about how the Sky People experienced this incident... Hmm...

[Action - Campfire Post IV] [Locked to people in Terra]

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

[The group are on their way back to Bran Bal, with several Genomes and possibly a few sheep in tow. They're in better shape now than they were before, thanks to the supplies they found on the farm, their success in locating the lost Genomes, and Mikoto finding her soul again.

But they didn't manage to defeat Garland. Now their only hope is to confront Lufene again. Perhaps she will know what became of him.

Mikoto is sitting by the fire once again, but she's keeping a close eye on the new Genomes. Although they're conditioned to obey, they're also conditioned to take care of Bran Bal, which means they're liable to wandering off. They have to be herded together rather like sheep. Looking out for them isn't going to be easy.]

[Screen is cut to the core of the Iifa tree where a defenseless moogle is frightened standing over the edge with a burnt wing]

Ku-Kupo!

[Another voice, a female, unfamiliar to anyone] Say the line, my winged abomination

[Frightened moogle shakes] Y-You thought that death was the end for me, kupo. But it is only the beginning. I-I will make sure to whow you how much the world can burn!

[Suddenly a fireball is launched from the direction of where the camera is being held connecting with the moogle knocking it down as it's screams fill the area]

Don't worry Gaia...No one can die here. Not until my world is complete!

[Maniacal laughter which sounds awfully familiar even though it is female]

Death to Raines! [video]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[Silently watching everything unfold, the good doctor decided it was time to act. Cid Raines has gone out of his way to tarnish Nabaat's good name, and to be frank Cidolfus wanted that whorebastard dead. Raines' reign must be put to an end now, and what better way to do this than to state that the Brigadier General is a backstabbing turncoat who betrayed Cocoon because of his brand as a l'Cie? Cidolfus couldn't even think of a more perfect card to play, so he threw his 'ace' into this game.]

Those of you blinded by the sensationalism that Cid Raines has sparked should lend me your ears!

The man is a liar, a famed one at that! He has chosen to forsake his duties to his own people because he is no longer in debt to either Cocoon or Sanctum. The man is a l'Cie! He betrays the humes for the sake of profiting over their demise.

Those branded by a fal'Cie are no longer human, but rather mere beasts who lust for destruction. This man is no different! He was branded by the fal'Cie of Cocoon, marked upon right-hand. Raines hides this mark well with his gloves, but not even such tactics can erase the taint that is on him.

Therefore, if you are so blinded by your loyalty to this man, then ask him to reveal the truth!

[He smirked once he was done.]

That is all.
