Interesting.
[ It is not 'interesting' as if fascinating. Vincent's tone suggests a comparison to other facts he has. ]
....Sephiroth's were black too.
[ The color of wings seems to have nothing to do with strain. But does that mean it has anything to do with anything at all? ]
I'll make sure you don't suffer long if it comes to that.

He also--
[What starts off as incredulity breaks off into a weak laugh.]
No. Of course he would. We're all monsters, in the end.
[There's no escaping it, is there? And they'd never even put a thought to the one being left behind.]
...Thank you. With luck it won't become an issue. Our ten day wait for repairs can't be much longer.

Mm. Let's hope so.
[ Vincent passes the earlier phrases, the bitterness. Not because he's indifferent to them however. Far from it.
It's not so long ago he was in Angeal's place. In another way, other circumstances. But it's like a shadow with a familiar shape.
Ten days. If everything is on the up and up.
One last thing comes, after a lengthy pause. ]
...If you ever want to talk about monsters, come find me. I promise to be a good listener.

[And while Misty could potentially make the argument that medicinal plants in general are a specialty of hers (or, at least, something that she has some hands-on experience with), she can't say the same about this specific one. So she sighs wistfully, and says:]
All right - a compromise. We'll stick to the less... fraught options, at least until Durge brings us a solid proposal for containment.

[ To say Vincent is a bit relieved would be an understatement. He hears the delay and the exception- don't think he doesn't understand that until means that Misty's still aiming to find a way there- and that's enough for the time being.
Hopefully Aerith can help him make sure the risks don't get forgotten in the excitement. ]
That sounds like a good idea. Durge loaned you the herbal primer? Feel free to copy it. There might be other plants to interest you that aren't as much of a threat.
[ The primer covered a lot of medicinal herbs from Faerun (probably focused mostly on the continent of Toril and the Underdark).]
The requests are just focused on what are needed for the potions I intend to keep in stock.

Vincent, hey.
We have a bit of a situation. It's Cloud.

[ He's been listening. And has seen earlier announcements. ]
Justine?
[ He says it short and clipped. To the point. ]
Justine?
[ He says it short and clipped. To the point. ]
Justine.
She gave Cloud and Sephiroth something to make them forget everything.
I'm surprised Sephiroth accepted something from her.

[ There's a soft tch noise. The only thing that suggests how upset Vincent is without a look at his face. ]
But you said it's only Cloud. [ He knows she would have mentioned Sephiroth if it was just this basic fact. ] What else aren't you telling me?
But you said it's only Cloud. [ He knows she would have mentioned Sephiroth if it was just this basic fact. ] What else aren't you telling me?
[Oh. He's mad. He's really mad. She paused before answering.]
Yunlan was told about Sephiroth. He's supposed to take care of him. Cloud...
He was supposed to be in the apple orchard. Rawe told me he was there but- I couldn't find him.

Have Rawne relocate him.
[ Wardens can track their pair, even temporary ones. Signs of Aerith's stress may be found in the fact that she didn't recall that. Vincent doesn't put any attention to it. ]
I'll get moving. Let me know as soon as you have a location.
[ That tiny bit of anger expressed? Ruthelessly clamped down on. ]

Oh, right. Yeah.
[She's freaking out, abd she knows it. What if Cloud has a breakdown? What if he hurts himself? What if thr remnants hurt him? There's so many scenarios where Cloud is hurt even more.]
I'll let you know. Call me if you find him?

You'll be the first.
[ Vincent hangs up then; he'll expect Aerith to reach out to him in some form once she's got a location. But for the time being, he's going to focus on searching for the missing blond. ]

Bettin' you keep a close enough eye on the big man's announcements to know already, but I'm Kadaj's temp this rotation. Heard you might have some important information to share.
[ Ah, seems he was beaten to the mark. ]
Kadaj told you about me?
[ Yeah he definitely keeps track. Good enough to know who the likely message bearer was. Though in fairness it could have been the last warden. ]
Kadaj is from my world. We were enemies there. Well, [ dry amusement ] may still be. That's up for debate.
[ Vincent is still watching out for the Remnants. ]
He and two others were created, for lack of a better word, with the intention of reviving a singular person. For now, Kadaj seems interested in finding out if he can be more. One of the others is here as well. Yazoo. He seems to be willing to follow Kadaj's lead.
[ There's more but the former Turk pauses here to let Remy absorb what's been said so far. There was no derision in Vincent's tone to suggest that 'created' makes either of the two Remnants lesser. It was just a statement of how they came into being. ]

That he did. Asked if you found me yet.
[Given everything he'd seen even before the Narrenschiff, given everything that had happened with Maddie and Jean, it doesn't take him long to absorb the information.]
Those boys gonna have one hell of a learning curve. They clones? Or somethin' a bit more complicated?

Definitely more complicated.
[ There is a pause as Vincent assembles his words. ]
Don't misunderstand my meaning. But when they were first created, it wouldn't have been inaccurate to call them figments. Memories of the one they were made to revive. So in that sense, they have succeeded in becoming something more. Something the Admiral recognizes as a possibility for change.
[ Where Vincent is, he shakes his head. But that can't be seen, so he continues. ]
Since it's not really a secret, [ There was an entire network debacle when Yazoo appeared. ] the individual was Sephiroth, someone who is also on the Barge.
The other thing I want to bring up is that because of the circumstances during our stay on the Narrenschiff, I was able to request his weapon from the Admiral. He's in possession of it and restore materia. ... What we use for magic. This one heals. It'll be up to his warden whether he keeps them, but he requested that they be put in my keeping or D'Vana Tendi's if you chose to be more cautious.

No surprise there. Livin' is change.
[The network blowup had been something he'd glanced over in his backreading, but at the time, it hadn't been relevant to what he was looking for. He'll have to double back and take a more in-depth look.]
If there been no trouble since he got back, I don't think there a need to take them away. If he go and get himself in a fight, we can revisit that.

Alright. I tend to keep an eye on their activities out of habit, but largely leave it in the hands of their wardens after speaking with them. You're welcome to ask questions. I'll try to answer what I can.
[ He's already been fairly open but... well, there's a lot of context surely missing. Some of it may not be necessary in a short term scenario. Hopefully. ]
And if you need backup, you'll know who to call.

Good day. Do you have a question?
[ Business as usual. ]
[ Business as usual. ]
Several.
I am in the process of gathering a warden consensus on placing a fabrication lab in the Maintenance bay - primarily for the recycling of waste products and refurbishing them into other uses. Wood, plastics, and metals chiefly. We could construct a modeling and build screen that could be made easily accessible to the rest of the ship.
Would this be of any use to you as the head warden in Medical Inventory?

Hm. [ There is a pause, but it's obviously to weight the merits of the idea. ] I can see it being useful for a lot of departments, not just mine. What's the planned size of output possible with it?
Precisely. I have also contacted Cybernetics. What other departments did you have in mind?
About the approximation of a large garbage bin but with the dexterity of a 1/16th drill bit. Anything larger would take far too long to manufacture and be easily solved with a request to the Admiral: anything smaller would run the risk of constant recalibration.

Any. [ No he's not being facetious. He goes on to explain. ] Though for places such as medical and kitchen you need to keep in mind the quality and safety of the product materials on a higher standard. I'm sure you know that.
For a few examples, models can be made for Dr. Sheehan's art therapy sessions for participants to paint. Speak with him. Counseling might also find use for fabricated items. Supplies and tools for custodial and maintenance, the gym and individual events.
While the Admiral doesn't seem to have issue with providing basic requests, if your fabrication device can fill in some of the sundry or small replacement ones, there's no reason not to use it.
