mooglenet_backup | Death to Raines! [video]

[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 ~~whore~~bastard 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.

[Yes, he had been certain that Jihl had notified Cidolfus as to his status as a l'Cie. Perhaps it had been too much to hope that he would keep his mouth shut about it.]

Are you having fun, Dr. Cid?

[He's laughing like a madman right now, but he manages to say something to Raines.]

Indeed, I am!

You sound no different than a child lashing out every which way because he did not get his own way.

[Oh, Cid is pissed off. Incredibly pissed off. But he can't let Cidolfus see that.]

Come now, Raines. You had to have known it would come to this eventually...

[Let's see how long Raines can keep a straight face! Cidolfus is trying to push all his buttons now.]

Because you are such a terribly trustworthy source when it comes to any information about me.

Well, if the public refuses to believe me; then I'll ask for Nabaat herself to speak. She is a colleague of yours after all. I am sure the public shall believe her words even if they shun my own.

Ah, of course. Another person who certainly would not love at all to drag my name through the mud.

You certainly went out of your way to drag her name through the same mud, Raines. Therefore, think of this as karma.

The difference is that I do not do as such in order to persecute innocent people.

You're using that word far too loosely.

Which word?

Innocent. No one is truly such.

While this is true, the l'Cie are not as dangerous as Nabaat would like to have people believe.

The Lt. Colonel is merely fulfilling her duties, and yet she is scorned mercilessly by you and countless others.

When her duties include little more than lies, said scorn is deserved.

Now is this an honest assessment made by you, or just another bias claim?

I know far more than she does on the truth of Cocoon, fal'Cie, and l'Cie. She merely blindly repeats whatever the Primarch tells her to.
