[his voice is quiet, his tone still, but despite this, the anger is quite obvious by the way his words tremble slightly. He takes a deep, slightly shuddering breath before he speaks]

I assume that most of you have seen the new information that's come to light. I'm not sure when this started, or exactly why this started, but one thing is inescapably clear: this all needs to stop. All of this. The experiments, the disappearances, the arrests. All of it. And we need to stop it ourselves. I'm sure some of you already know what I'm going to suggest, and some of you might already be ready to suggest it yourselves. Maybe some of you did, before I got here.

We need to stand together. We need to be strong enough and brave enough to weather the storm that's ahead of us. The longer we stand idle, the longer this goes on, and the more people get hurt - and I, for one, am not willing to let this slide. We have to gather together, and I think you all know exactly what I'm talking about.

Oh, I'm angry. I've never done that before, not as this me. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do now, or what's going to happen. [a shaky laugh emerges]

Anyway, who's with me? We can have meetings and get into group hugs and everything. [despite the lightness of his words, it's clear he's deadly serious about gathering an army, even though he - barely - refrains from saying it]

I'll do it.

*oh yes, she's angry*

[limitbreakpilot]

What, again?

[shout_geronimo]

Yeah. Again. Mind telling me how many times this has gone on?

[shout_geronimo]

[deceptively light tone] Good for you! Priere, right?

[limitbreakpilot]

Hell, I ain't even really sure they've stopped.

[shout_geronimo]

Oh, I'm sure they haven't. And I'm sure people who've come before have fought against it, but now we need to move quickly. I'm also sure whoever's responsible for this knows we're angry, and knows we know about this.

[theheartofdarkness]

Hugs will hardly defeat the darkness.

[it takes a while for Xion to calm down enough to think of a good way to do this.]

You shouldn't post this to the network. People will be watching.

[divine_storm]

Yeah...

We just got to climb to the top and kick that guy's ass, right?

[limitbreakpilot]

Course they know! It's their goddamned playground, so why wouldn't they know?

[shout_geronimo]

No? Maybe puppies. I like puppies; do you like puppies?

[shout_geronimo]

... I know. But I need to try. We need to get something started, at least.

[theheartofdarkness]

I do. But you were speaking of armies, weren't you?

[shout_geronimo]

Of course they do. They know everything, and no one is safe. And no one will ever be safe, not as long as they're here.

[shout_geronimo]

Was I?

[shout_geronimo]

I'm sure we do. But first we've got to get more information.

[limitbreakpilot]

You ain't gotta tell me that. I've been here too damned long as it is, and I ain't blind. Ifrit's balls, what d'you think of me?

[shout_geronimo]

No, no, of course you're not. [suddenly sounds tired] But I should have seen this before. I suppose I'm growing old.

Right, then! Who am I speaking to?

[keyofthesky]

What are you doing here?

[theheartofdarkness]

I know a gathering when I see one. The heart of the matter is always clear.

[shout_geronimo]

Sora? What are you talking about?

[limitbreakpilot]

Cid. Cid Highwind.

[shout_geronimo]

Oh, I'm quite sure it is.

[shout_geronimo]

Nice name. I'm the Doctor. You might have heard of me.

[theheartofdarkness]

Can I now no longer offer my help? I do know my other self quite well, Sora.
