[Despite the hecticness of the situations going on, Cid's expression is one of calmness and professionalism. After all, as a Brigadier General and Commander, he is used to keeping a cool head in the worst of times.]
Many of you have likely heard of the recent incident in Narshe, where destruction has taken place. The suspect is a man who, in the video recording, appears to have a l'Cie brand. However, assumptions must not be quickly jumped to.
To clarify to those who are not from Cocoon, l'Cie are humans--just like you and I--who have been cursed with a brand from a greater being known as a fal'Cie. It is almost always against their will. When branded, l'Cie are given what is known as a Focus, a task that the fal'Cie wants them to do.
Yes. There are l'Cie among us, and many of you know them and are even friends with them. However, despite that the suspect for Narshe's incident is seen with a brand, you must not fall victim to scare tactics. Even if the man is a l'Cie--which I am doubting, considering that there are no fal'Cie here--this is an isolated incident that has nothing to do with Lightning and her friends.
Lt. Colonel Nabaat may attempt to spread lies in an attempt to frighten the populace, but they are nothing but that. Lies. Her work back home was no different from this. As a higher ranking member of the very military she is part of, I was and am privy to much more of the truth than whatever she has been fed and stubbornly clings onto. Even if the man is a l'Cie, he has nothing to do with the others. Their Focus has nothing to do with Gaia, and as such, they have no reason at all to harm anyone here.
I implore you all to remain calm and focus on the things that are the true danger to us all, namely, the being known as Ultimecia. Right now, our main priority is to stop her, not fear those who we need not fear.
