[28th August] The Black-Mage Moogle Mograma
[To: Ashelia, Sparks, Jade, Zelda, Ramza, Cloud]
Concerning the latest 'unknown' message that was delivered across the Mognet a few days ago, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought back to the events that came to pass on the last Eve of the 13 Moogles. Therefore, I thought it prudent to request a visit with Mograma but then was reminded of the last time that I had spoken with our furry friend who still wallows behind bars in Esdham. That is, the one individual who might grant us an insight of what might come to be expected this year, or whom might be behind it, quite often demands release - or at least some sort of parole in order for us to gain any sort of cooperation whatsoever.
In truth, he feels rather discriminated being as he was used as a pawn in part of a larger game, the master of which has seemingly vanished alongside Palitutu. Circumstances, indeed, have changed.
I took it upon myself to contact with General Varaha about the situation, who has informed me that Mograma is set for execution in January. It was communicated to me that Mograma could be returned to Aqures Ixen, but that I -and two other Heroes who could support the request- would have to take full responsibility in case of any mis-dealings, or disappearances, should we agree to grant the mog a small measure of freedom in exchange for information which -I believe- may eventually be of great import to our purposes here in Crystallis.
Let us not forget, how prior to the attempt at King Moggle Mog's resurrection last year, a fair few of us had our rightful abilities restored to us. The research into Custom Jobs may well benefit from cooperation from Mograma as well, with this in mind.
Please, let me know your thoughts regarding this matter, and any ideas how we might assert our authority over Mograma should he be granted this parole.

I still blame him for what happened to you and Tifa last year but that still feels a little extreme. Parole under our custody sounds like a good plan but we need to make sure he won't use it to stab us in the back or anything. If you need any help watching over him I'll volunteer.

[Of course it's simply hard to imagine executing a moogle, no matter how evil they may be.]

I'll count you in then, Cloud?
~Sephiroth

Sorry, I'm not sure if that made any sense.
But yes, I'll help keep that moogle protected and jailed if you need me. If we just kill him that makes us no better than him and the rest of our enemies.

It does make an odd kind of sense.
Glad to have you on board.

It should go without saying that you have my support in this. It's about time we follow through with what we started, anyway.
As for asserting our authority, Mograma should know what will happen to him if he crosses us again -- though a reminder certainly couldn't hurt. I think we can trust Sparks to handle the security measures. He doesn't strike me as the type to extend any undue kindness that could result in an escape attempt.
-Jade

I didn't want to assume no matter how much your support might have been considered to be an automatic given.
I do agree that a healthy reminder every now and again of the fate that we're to lift him from might well assist in getting the results that we want. It's only Marshal Nevada now that I wait to hear a final say from; it's a large responsibility to simply dump on the Aqurean law enforcement and I find it important that we -as a military presence- should be involved as well.

Whatever disagreements we might have elsewhere, we both know Mograma is too valuable to be ignored. It would be foolish of me not to assist.
You do raise a good point. I should be able to check on him regularly myself, now that my work at Palitutu's laboratory brings me to Aqures Ixen more frequently. Of course, I can't be watching him all the time, but an occasional friendly visit might serve as an effective reminder to behave himself.

It's all very well and good provided we get what we very much intend out of it. I, for one, am tired of being played for a fool and am concerned with the arrangement we might make should Mograma return to our custody.
I intend to return to Esdham at the end of this month, as it's high time I touched base at least to know of the state of affairs on the border with the Herans. You're quite right in that I have let responsibility slide with regards to duty and I hope to rectify that. I hope to come back to Aqures a little more often too, Mograma being only one of those other responsibilities I now need to keep on top of.

As one of the heads of the Guild, I will support your request and take responsibility should anything untoward happen. I believe we should be able to entrust Mograma to Sparks and the other officers. However, while we do have much to gain from collaboration with this creature, we must needs proceed with caution - his exact loyalties are still something of a mystery.
Best,
Lady Ashelia

Let me be clear that I do not intend to shirk any responsibility towards the Heroes Guild but given my occupation, of which I've been most neglectful recently, not to mention my other responsibilities, it would be near-impossible to keep a constant watch on a personal basis. Perhaps, one would hope, constant supervision might not be necessary either.
It's exactly those loyalties that he will have no reason to hide, should we remove him from the current predicament, that I'm most interested in uncovering finally. He coined a half-convincing argument, previously, with regard to how he was used by Kalki with promises of being able to use the Heroes to raise the dead. He swore that his only loyalty was to his long-dead King and I'd like to see the truth to that as well.
The mechanics of which could well go some way in explaining our current situation with the increasing number of restless dead haunting the World.
I shall put your name forwards to Varaha, accordingly.
Many thanks,
Sephiroth

I trust your discretion and I will support your decision should you choose to move him and would happily share in that responsibility. We won’t forget what he did but if he helps us perhaps he can repent for his actions instead of having to face death.
I think that it would be a worthy endeavor but I also think that the other heroes should know if we decide to bring him to Aqures. Everyone who was hurt during that time has a right to know, to at least be warned, should something go wrong.

Thank you for your input, it's always appreciated.
With regards to the other Heroes, whilst I whole-heartedly agree that those who were effected last year should be informed, there is a reason why I've only addressed this letter to a direct few. There are many Heroes who have since arrived who might take offense, or even move to intervene or influence the terms in a way that might be ultimately not for the best interests of all. Too many questions that I for one would prefer not to have to answer again.
A general warning, perhaps. I trust as a founder of the Heroes Guild that such words would probably be best to come from yourself or one of the others.
If that's OK.
~Sephiroth

I would be happy to issue a general warning on behalf of those who are going to be in charge of the moogle as well as answer all questions that the other heroes might have. It’s true that having to many involved in this could be detrimental and I don’t want that.
Thank you,

If he's going to be working in our labs, with our other Heroes, someone else who works there needs to be keeping an eye on him at all times. Plus, we need to catch the other Heroes up to speed with what happened last year and how he was involved.

It might be interesting for you to know that, when I spoke to him of the Calamity that had then been unleashed on the World, he did seem indeed not to want to have any part of that. Of course, he couldn't resurrect his King if there were no World left on which to do so.
Myself and Jade have been occasionally pushing at Mograma to reveal more information that would be of use but always we get so far and then stone-wall. We'd have pressed this earlier but it was in the wake of the Battle and it had to be put on the back-burner.
As I understand, there should be many Heroes who could be paired with Mograma in their research; a small detail that can be visited in time. As for the other Heroes, and whatever you might decide to inform the masses, please bear in mind the information that is already freely available at the Observatory. I'd rather not stir up past traumas if it can at all be helped.

Last time I interrogated him, he was too afraid of repercussions from Kalki to talk. Maybe we ought to let him know that ain't likely a problem anymore.
So long as he's compliant and cooperative, fine. He can come here. But he better not think that I've forgotten what happened last year, not for a hot second.

I haven't informed him of Kalki's apparent disappearance, but it would greatly surprise me if he didn't already know. I might have the unpopular opinion here but her presence is another loose end that I think we might have to look into tying off one way or the other soon; for some reason, I don't believe she's got anything to do with Palitutu's goals for us. Being as she did show us the truth, after all.
You'll have ample opportunity to communicate such to the mog, I should think. Given your role in law enforcement in Aqures.

I'm not holding the door open for him to come into any of the research that has been taken on since Palitutu left, I only suggested how information that he might have could well aid the same. Should any of those undertaking the research wish to include Mograma at a later date, it's not my place to authorize that.
What I am concerned with, is potentially losing the chance at information that might assist us in the future. You aren't the only one who remembers last year.
I do believe that between your officers, myself, Jade, Zelda and a few others that we can easily ensure that there are eyes on Mograma at all times; even if they might not be so obvious ones.
