[Lucrecia doesn't seem to notice the communicator is on and recording her. Standing in the middle of her Marshall apartment she stares almost vacantly into space.]

Soul wrought of terra corrupt,
Quelling impurity,
Purging the stream
To beckon forth an ultimate fate.

[A cup enters the picture flying straight at Lucrecia's head; instead of

[...what. Just...what was that? This wasn't the Lucrecia she knew; the nice lady who gave her marbles--and there were two of them besides. Was...that a spellcard, like her own...?]

Lucrecia?

[lovelyscientist]

Ah! Flandre... I'm sorry about the noise, really my apologies.

[u_n_asplode]

[She's still going to be blinking at you.]

...was that a...spellcard?

[lovelyscientist]

What? Ah... no, not really. It's a...

Can I ask what a spellcard is?

[Yes this is her attempt to avoid the topic. Well and she is curious. But mostly it's avoidance.]

[pilot_princess]

Lu...crecia?

[lovelyscientist]

...If you say my name like that, I'm going to feel as if I grew a second head. [She tries to pass it off with a laugh.]

Ah... I'm sorry for the noise though.

[pilot_princess]

It... looked like...?

[lovelyscientist]

It's not real, please don't believe it.

[He spends a moment faintly perplexed after watching the video before deciding it was a hologram. They were from the same world, after all. He knew what ShinRa was capable of. And she obviously seemed flustered that nearly all of Discedo had witnessed her standing in the same room as her doppelganger... So he refrains from mentioning it.]

That passage... It's intriguing.

[lovelyscientist]

[Not mentioning it is probably for the best.]

Is it? ...Ha, well I suppose it is. ...It did captivate me, after all. Unfortunately I don't know the rest; by the time it was shown to me age had worn most of it away.

Soul wrought of terra corrupt.

That line sounds very familiar. It's as though I've heard it in a dream. Tell me... Do you know whom the piece was written by?

[lovelyscientist]

In the specific? Nothing at all. Collectively... the Cetra. Though... you might be more familiar with the term Ancients.

I... researched them once upon a time you might say.

[evrythingismine]

Two of you?

What are you doing now, Lucrecia?

[lovelyscientist]

I didn't do anything! [Oh wait yes she did. Awkward pause goes here.]

It's not dangerous! Really. There's only one of me, I promise. I wouldn't make you put up with two.

[evrythingismine]

Whatever it was it seems to have troubled you.

What happened?

[lovelyscientist]

It's... It's complicated. I don't... I'll tell you about it another time. ...Is that alright?

[adventlead]

...What's going on?

[lovelyscientist]

[She was really hoping he didn't see that, crap.]

Nothing! Please don't worry about it.

[adventlead]

What's...Omega?

[Sounds confused, and also concerned.]

You seem upset.

[lovelyscientist]

[How to explain this without actually explaining anything...]

Omega is... It's a part of the planet. Our planet.

Ah... I'm alright. Really, I'm sorry. I just... overreacted. It's an... an old recording. I wasn't expecting it.

Did you receive anything Kadaj?
