[[ooc: Okai guys - if I mess up on this and Cait's journal about all these plots simmering just poke me and I'll edit! ^^]]
Newscast item:
Broadcast differently in each region, with different surrounding contexts as part of a wider communication strategy around the return of ShinRa. However core footage shown in each news broadcast is this:
[There is a strobed flicker of lights coming from the cameras as he walks into the room, startling to the eyes. The cameramen have been employed to perform their functions... so why then did it still feel so damn invasive? Perhaps it is just those reservations, always present when action involves Rufus ShinRa. You want to believe in this talk of redemption, but trust is never easily given now, is it?
Yet, if Gaia benefits from this; if it enables a finer, more highly funded path towards a greater goal then, no matter the means to the end, you do whatever it takes. Unequivocally, and without hesitation.
And so...
Public broadcast was a part of the role of being Commissioner that he had never felt passionately about, but Reeve remains focussed, his eyes locking upon the bright light of characteristic white attire instead of the transient ambient flashes still flickering around them.
Stepping closer to the blonde-haired man Reeve dips his head slightly. The Commissioner understands how to play these games.]
"Rufus."
[Stilling to a stop a wry smile crosses his lips as Reeve offers a hand forwards, speaking in his usual polite baritone]
"Well. At least we don't have to make a speech. That's something at least."
[Inferring of course that the publicity team were scribing the words. Different regions of Gaia needed different approaches. All they had to do right here, right now was project the correct image. Of course Reeve knew that Rufus ShinRa also understood how to play this publicity game. The "correct image" would be portrayed.
Consolidarity; mutual support between WRO and ShinRa.
The image they had both decided was the best for all concerned. Right?]
Yuffie.
I'm counting on you to settle this news with Lord Godo. I know you don't like it but this is the direction things will go. As intel officer for the WRO, keep an ear to the ground and report back any reactionary measures.
...I'll let you know how Cloud is when Cait finds out.
-Reeve.
Ms. West,
Unfortunately We will be working together Again. Damn it. I expect information (schematics / specifications / development protocols) on the weaponry you are designing and any arrangements for testing need to be run past the WRO.
Are you free to meet to discuss access to the facilities at H.Q.?
Cmr. Tuesti.
Do you still wish to be involved in Soldier activities on behalf of the WRO?
