[When the video appears, it's of a younger Akito. Physically, he doesn't look much different, save for the baby fat in his cheeks. His demeanor, however, is much more reserved - he looks a mixture of shy, anxious, apologetic.]Ah... Um... I'm Proto

[Sam laughs a bit, nodding.]

Yeah, it's personalized now.

[skyglide]

It's safer, too.

[camshafts]

[What.]

Why is it safer, again?

[skyglide]

So people won't think I'm not a person.

It's like, um... Identity protection..?

[pinnaculum]

I have not found my professor or researchers, but I have found authorized personnel. [He's going to count Genesis as authorized. Not Cloud, though.]

I have also conducted research of my own and gathered intelligence concerning the city, its government, geography, history, and defenses; as well as our situation.

[skyglide]

You found people from your laboratory? That's good.

Has the information you found been useful?

[pinnaculum]

I found people from my corporation, of which the laboratory is a part. Science Research is a division of ShinRa.

Yes. I am now well informed. Is there any subject concerning which you would like more information?

[skyglide]

Oh... That's still very good! Do they know what's going on?

Ah... Um.. I can't think of anything right now.

[N's surveillance network has alerted him to someone present. He takes in the sight of Akito, then quickly asks Prima and Lit-kun what's going on before he emerges from the forest, along with Purrloin and a few Solosis.]

Oh, hello. [He smiles.] My name is N Harmonia.

[Akito doesn't seem surprised, even though he is. It's still strange to him that people other than the doctor will willingly converse with him - that they treat him like a person.]

I'm Proto.

[aseparateworld]

It's nice to meet you, Proto. [N also doesn't appear surprised, acting as if this is an everyday occurrence.]

Lit-kun is a good friend of mine. He comes from this forest, and many of his friends live here.

...Then why is he with me? They follow me around. The lamp makes me use the communicator.

[ Staaaring... Wait a sec, isn't that... ]

...Akito?

[ video ]

[skyglide]

No. I'm Proto.

[twicetsunned]

[ ...It is a kid, Akito definitely wasn't this young last she knew. She stares, eyes narrowed, for a long moment. ]

If you say so. I'm Idris.

...Hi.
