I suppose now is as good a time as any. No further reason to delay the inevitable.

Denizens of Purgatorium:

I would like to make a public declaration concerning the investigation into my death and the question of Logan's guilt.

I was responsible for my death, not Logan. It was my personal decision, based on my feelings about the state of the

You son of a bitch.

Director Son of a Bitch.

A fair observation.

[off_duty_turk]

A kind observation.

You're an embarrassment to the company, Shu.

[teufel_schu]

And you're a shining example with what you were going to do to me for Elena, Reno?

[im_not_a_rookie]

Shut up.

Private // Unhackable.

[strategy_master]

Schuldig, don't.

I doubt Shinra is impressed with your threats to Logan as is. Don't dig a hole for yourself over my mistakes.

I made my bed, and I'll lie in it.

I don't mind the ones who have a right to be angry saying something. It's the ones who don't that I won't stand for. Reno of all people has no right. He would have forced me to lock onto Hojo's mind and be driven insane that night if he had thought it would save Elena. He came ready to beat me into it if he had to.

I just sat through a fucking long-arse lecture by Elena on how Shin-Ra is all family and shit. You want to know why I don't buy it? Because of this. They're pitching in on you like wolves.

Reno is part of Shinra, whose reputation I've damaged. He needs no more right than that.

You don't betray your family and still expect to be taken back in with open arms. We're small enough to be relatively close, but we're still a company. There are still house rules.

It was the risk I took when I made the strategic decision. One can't cry foul if one loses a battle legitimately.

Re: Private // Unhackable.

[teufel_schu]

They're a bunch of hypocrites is what they are. We of Schwarz may occasionally bicker, but if one of us goes down, we all go down.

You didn't betray them. You made a decision based on the best information you had on hand.

Private // Unhackable.

[strategy_master]

They're realistic. You must realise what will happen if they let me off easily.

A sly and morally reprehensible decision.

... Schuldig. If you believe you don't have me, why are you taking the opportunity to defend me? You have no obligation to do so.

Re: Private // Unhackable.

[teufel_schu]

If you're part of their 'family', shouldn't they have done this quietly and within the 'family'?

Every decision in every battle is sly and morally reprehensible. It's how it is won. Who is better at dirty fighting than who. You throw the dice and sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't. Either way, your team has your back. If I had done the same, Crawford probably would have done something to me and Farfarello would have swatted me or cut me, but not something this ugly and public.

Because this angers me! I've been asked since I arrived why I didn't want to work at Shin-Ra. This is why.

[off_duty_turk]

If you're talking about offering you up as a gambit to Hojo... then, remember, that was YOUR idea, so don't even TRY to put it on me.

Strikes hackable~

[strategy_master]

I'm not entirely convinced it's kind. My mother was a far nicer woman than you give her credit for.

On the latter, however, I can only agree.

And hacked! And, yeah, he's not bothering to lock/private it.

[off_duty_turk]

Clearly she was too nice... let you get away with shit like this.

Good.

Shu says ":( Stop picking on my mum."

[strategy_master]

She simply had no idea what she was raising.

Reno says "Then stop making her look bad."

[off_duty_turk]

I would hope so.
