[Moguo is flying over Wutai. There seem to be a lot of people out on the streets, marching with banners and shouting. As Moguo gets closer, their cries can be heard: "WE WANT SEPHIROTH! WE WANT SEPHIROTH!"]
Kupo! What's happening to the world? Everything's been turned upside down, kupo!
[He flies lower, and a man shouts.]
Hey, you! Moogle! Come here - we want the word out!
The word, kupo?
Yes! That good-for-nothing Kisaragi girl has left us in the lurch! We want General Sephiroth back, and we want him back now!
Kupo, aren't there more important things-
WE WANT SEPHIROTH! WE WANT SEPHIROTH!
[The cheers drown Moguo out. And that's a stampede of rioters heading his way from the next street, so he takes off as fast as his little wings will carry him.]
Phew, kupo! All I wanted to do was check whether Wutai had changed like all those other places. I didn't expect this, kupo!

[The camera flickers on to show the redhead stood in a room. It looks pretty conventional, just like a normal staff room, but a little more high class than most ShinRa employees would be used to. The only person who will recognise it perfectly is Rude, due to it being the Turk lounge, but Reno seems very confused.]
Uh... Rude?
[Reno walks to the large window and points the camera out to show all of Midgar, up and running, mako reactors glowing, trains and cars and airships-- everything in working order.]
[Off screen:] That ain't supposed to be workin', right? I'm not crazy, am I? We didn't leave long enough to end up with Midgar like this, did we?
[The camera turns back to his face.] Where are you?

[ Rude is in Lindblum, and -- to anyone who knows him well enough -- looking rather confused. ]
Reno? I'm in Lindblum and I don't know how I got here.
[ The last thing he remembers is everything after the Memoria fiasco... ]

Think there might have something you forgot to mention about this place.
[You know, like the fact that dead people show up ... only they aren't dead anymore.
Here's looking at you, Reno]

Woah, Kunsel would kill to have this phone. [A laugh] Though, bet ya I’m talking into my hand right now. Gotta say, this is the craziest dream I’ve had so far.
So, off chance that I haven’t cracked, anyone wanna tell me what’s going? Because I’m pretty sure I have no idea where I am or how I got here. Wait, better question: anyone seen a guy with spiky blond hair? He sort of looks like a chocobo. Goes by the name Cloud Strife. Last time I saw him...well, no need to get into that. I just wanna find him as soon as I can.
Cloud, you better be okay.

[Humming softly to himself, this rather animated seller starts to ramble rather quickly about his latest new invention. While his accent may sound that of a Rozarrian born native, there are few hints about his accent that speaks quite a different story. However, only those from Ivalice would be able to tell and perhaps those who've spent a lot of time around a certain sky pirate.]
Ladies & Gentleman, lend me your ears!
I am Dr. Alejandro and I have grand announcement to make to world regarding this new mineral called 'nethicite'. While I do know of the conflicts brewing within the bars and taverns of local towns regarding these amazing little stones, allow me to state that I've managed to find a way to make such foreign power usable for domestic and commercial means.
Yes, my friends, I speak of 'Nethicite-Powered Lamps'!
[Switching to video for just a second, the scream is illuminated by a lovely floating gold crystal that is lighting up the showroom with an beautiful amber glow.]
Behold! The newest form of technology is upon us in the form of humble replacement for the common lamp and candle.
These high-powered stones are capable of lighting up the darkest caverns along with the darkest closets. Imagine; one nethicite-lamp can last for years on end without the aid of electricity. The stones themselves are charged on the Mist, drinking the magical currents that lie within it to use it's power to illuminate itself.
These stones are absolutely harmless considering their relatively small size and has been cultivated in a way that limits them from causing any sort of destruction. Also, they are cool to the touch, for example--[Keeping his face out the camera's view, the doctor leans in to touch the floating crystal with his bare hand before slinking away.]
Absolutely harmless!
These nethicite-powered lamps would be great decor for a pub, study room, palace or even a child's room.
The asking price for one of these stones is roughly around 900 gil but I will lower the price today to 700 gil instead! Think of this as the chance to embrace yourself with the finest technology before they go on official sale worldwide.
[The video ends but the audio keeps on playing.]
Therefore, hurry to get your very own nethicite-lamp today! My assistant is standing by to process your orders.

[Rude's shadowed image is seen in front of the glaring backdrop of the sun reflecting from the surface of the skysea that stretches out behind him.
He's spent the past twenty minutes or so learning the ins and outs of his new hand-held device, and gathering as much information as he could on his current situation. What else would you expect from a Turk? Well, not counting Reno, of course.
Although he can easily filter his message, he opts against as much to get a better idea of who's here]
Reporting in. Current location is ... Muruc Cashuac Skysea.
[Now he just needed to wait and see if anyone that he was familiar with responded]

[Cloud is sat on the bed and his eyes are a little wider than they necessarily need to be. He is actually very, very frightened right now. Of course, the only sign of that is how wide his eyes are. He isn't going to start having any panic attacks or get outwardly upset at all and only the people he is close to would realise he's not exactly having a good moment.]
Did all of you see Sephiroth's video? [His voice is shaking at first but he quickly evens it out.]
The fact he has his wing can't be a good thing. Sephiroth didn't have a wing until he went insane. I don't know if he's snapped again, but...
[There's a small pause where he looks away from the screen.] We have to be alert. If he starts causing distruction, you know what I have to do.
Tifa, if he does something while you're away, I'll leave the kids with Cid or Firion... I can't just let him destroy Gaia.
[He takes a slow breath in and shakes his head.] Let's just hope he's still sane.
[Cloud lets out a shaky sigh and cuts the feed.]

[Balthier looks considerably less exhausted and distraught than he was and has a pleasant, genial smile. He is stood in the engine room.]
I require musicians and anyone who is able to work a bar swiftly and efficiently.
Does anyone have a skilled hand at catering? I will need a lot of food.
[He gives a light laugh.]
Of course, I'm not asking for free. You'll certainly be paid a fair wage.
[He ponders for a moment.]
I also need security. I'd rather not have any gate-crashing clowns.
[That's it for now, unless he thinks up something else. The transmission ends.]

I suppose... there's something I should say.
Cloud... asked me to marry him last night. And I said yes. We're engaged!

Denzel? Shelke? Are you guys okay?
I'm in a place called Memoria... If you can call it a place. But I don't think I'm the only one. It doesn't seem to be dangerous exactly, but I want to know if everyone is safe. Eiko seemed to think that all this is the doing of some guy called Garland. So has this kind of thing happened before?
For a moment there, I thought I'd been dunked in the Lifestream...

Reno - can you meet me behind the Stratta Restaurant? Bring a large canvas bag, some bandages and a potion, as well as one of the accelerated incendiary devices Rude is working on.
If you can lay hands on a shovel, bring it as well. Ask the innkeeper if he has one to use.

[The video clicks on and shows a man with long silver hair. He tilts his head, gazing at his surroundings. After a moment, he turns to the device, green eyes glowing faintly.]
Where is Mother? Where are my brothers? Kadaj? Loz? I thought we were in this together. Isn't that what you always said? Why have you forsaken me, Mother? I am your child. I have never blocked out your voice unlike some of those in that city.
We were so close to obtaining you. Send me back and I assure you that we will not fail. No one will stand in our way. I don't care if big brother never acknowledges us. We can be a complete family without him. The one that matters most is you, Mother.
Unless... [Here, he pauses.]
Are you testing me? That must be it. You want me to find my way back to Kadaj and Loz. You want me to find my way back to you.
I won't fail you.

[Video feed picks up Lazard in pieces as he shifts the apparent communication device, trying to work out its function. He's well dressed and surprisingly put together, even for the fact that he's been walking somewhat aimlessly for the better part of a day. He removes a handkerchief from his jacket and very deliberately wipes sweat from his brow. Behind him, Burmecia can clearly be seen and it appears he's seated somewhere in the central square.
He has actually just recently discovered the comm device on his person, as he was fairly certain until now that he had dreamed the visitation from the talking moogle in the middle of the night. He seems to realize that he can connect to a network via the video function.
The feed cuts out and then cuts back in, and this time he's arranged himself much more eloquently in the center of the screen.]
Greetings. This is ShinRa SOLDIER Executive Director Lazard Deusericus. I am currently stranded and unaware of my current position. I humbly request immediate assistance from whoever receives this transmission and may provide aide.

[With the drumming of translucent pearl hued raindrops falling against her crimson hat and shoulders, Freya looked as if she was quite drenched as she flicked on the camera mode. It seems to be as stormy as ever within Burmecia, a fact that seems to be always true when regarding that gloomy nation. Gazing up towards the ominous gray clouds above, the dragoon knight let out a sigh.]
I take my leave from Burmecia, once more but only for a brief errand.
Delita-[Glancing back towards the camera now.] Are you well? If you've arrive in Lindblum, contact me. As I have promised, I shall met you there.
[Leaning in to turn off the device, Freya hesitates momentarily to do so in favor of stating a few choice words to the battle weary public.]

Man, these fiends look different from the ones back home. Eh, whatever it was a piece of cake anyway.
[He bent down to get the loot that these monsters magically drop off. Because all monsters, for some reason, have loot on them. :| SE, you so weird. Vaan, however, jumps back when the monster, which looks more like an overgrown chicken, suddenly twitched and was Not Dead. Vaan gasped and pulled out his dagger again, he threw it with a well-aimed throw and the monster was soon dead. For real this time.]
