[when Marluxia speaks, his voice sounds a little more emotionless than usual, as though he's trying to keep what memory of unease he has from leaking through. This information troubles him greatly--enough, obviously, to eschew his typical cloak of anonymity] While taking a look through documents in my possession, I've come across something... curious. Secrets are being kept from us all, it seems--more than we could have possibly imagined.

As there are more than a few of you who are unlikely to take me at my word, allow me to provide you with an image of the document itself. There are pieces missing, but I assume you can understand the gist of it, as well as the insight into our dilemma it provides.

An interesting reaction. I take it you are another who has no attachment to your world?

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

No, no, don't take me for a recluse. It's just...my attachments lie more with the opportunities. B

But opportunities are not exclusive to my world.

[Wry chuckle.]

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

Be that as it may, how many worlds--and opportunities--are left?

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

Why not shed light on this...momentous matter?

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

What I believe this document implies is that multiple worlds have already been destroyed and many more may fall in the future. I also believe the one who brought you here, Xemnas, may have a force of unimaginable power within his grasp.

[napoleonicrat]

Yes, well I suppose I'll need more evidence...

[A minute of silence.]

...Xemnas, you say?

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

Indeed. The leader of the Organization.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

An organization, delightful~

I shall just have to...file a letter of complaint. Yes, that's right.

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

A letter of complaint? [the thought is amusing to him] And what exactly do you intend to complain about?

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

[Oozing with irony.]

If you excuse me, good sir, but the details are reserved for private eyes.

...let's just say I have an extremely persuasive manner.

[Laugh.]

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

A threat, then. I imagine you must have a way with terror to those who can feel it. Or else you have another card up your sleeve.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

Threat is such a vulgar word.

Now now, you don't expect me to play without a full deck, do you mister...?

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

Marluxia. And you are...?

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

Professor Ratigan. I take it you share this organization's interests?

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

I was once a member... as much as I could be called one. However, our interests differed and I took my leave.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

That's why I find it best to pursue my own interests.

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

So I have learned. But some things cannot be done alone. [unfortunately. goddamn Xemnas]

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

Which is why we find those of similar interests.

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

Or even only those with one. I believe I have found plenty with that.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

I find it only takes one to rally the help of a few comrades ~

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

So you have experience with rallying others to a cause?

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

Why, back in London I was practically a Napoleon!

[voice]

[reaperofnaught]

A napoleon? [he has no idea what that means]
