To All Heroes of Light

[tacticallyminded]

I know times have been troubling lately for us all. There is much to discuss, but we should also keep our morale up. One thing that I have had cause to consider, recently, is the differences between our worlds.

Cuisine comes to mind.

I thought that, perhaps, a collection of recipes from our disparate worlds -- ideally, ones we can prepare in Crystallis or modify to -- would be interesting and a boon.

What do you think?

Sincerely yours,
Robin

To: All Heroes of Light,

Having just returned from an extensive rotation at Esdham I felt it important to inform you all of the latest developments in the Republic -while there are many details that I'm bound by my occupation not to disclose there is, after all, more general information that might prove suitable to our cause as Heroes of Light.

Since the loss of the Heran capital, Esdham has it's attention between monitoring the situation in Nabilia as the Calamity draws closer to the city and also providing some security to Continent of Ruin since the deactivation of the barrier. Given the substantial losses incurred as a result of the Ultima Weapon, it's no small exaggeration that manpower is stretched just about as thin as it can be; hence even my own extended duty away after the last fortnight. The situation is hindered further by an overarching concern for the future within the citizenry at Esdham itself. After all, the Calamity will be on our doorstep once it expands outside of Heran territory.

I'm pleased to report that the military can now provide a Airship service to-from the Mysidian Tower, subject to authorization by any military personnel. Varaha has since dispatched a contingent to further secure the location, but I suspect there is still a great deal that could be learned, not least from the simulation at its apex.

Lastly, I would appreciate anyone that might be inclined to bring me up to speed with goings-on in Aqures as of late. Spencer has informed me of a VHS-video that I should take the time to watch and would invite the company of those more informed of it to join me in watching, in case there are questions that might already have been answered since.

[Additional P.S. specifically for Jade, Zelda, Ales, Kidd, Vincent & Cloud only; also is enclosed a copy of Sephiroth's official report regarding the expedition to the Mysidian Tower, including a translation of the majority of the Ancient-written journal he found.]

P.S: I felt it prudent to inform, yet not draw too much attention to the fact that I'm now in possession of a Sapphire Crystal, of the kind that may be used to protect a specific area from the Calamity. I'd appreciate if it this knowledge could well be kept between ourselves until such a time that it becomes clear of where it should be applied.

[P.S. #2 for Terra only]

P.S #2: I'm truly sorry for the overdue, and mostly unexplained absence that my duties have caused in this instance. I hope that you're alright and will be home for when you get in tonight. I've no plans now for the next few days as well so if there is anything you'd like to do, you need just ask.

[ooc: Feel free to take any thread into Action from here, concerning accompanying Sephiroth in watching the video or even welcome him back in another location!]
