What: A log for everyone to gain the information in the Hidden Truth video tape.
Where: The Observatory.

There had been a flurry of letters sent out from Jack and Chiaki, first to Zelda to ask to borrow the Observatory, and then to every Hero of Light, alerting them that they had uncovered some intelligence received in the Heran Empire before the Capital had fallen to Crystal, and that everyone needed to see it immediately.

Jack, Chiaki, and a few others brought in a screen connected to a machine that some would recognize as a VCR. "With our peace mission to the Imperial Capital over Christmas, we returned with a recording made on 20th-century Earth technology, the kind that doesn't have an analogue on Crystallis. It took us time to build a machine to be able to play it. This information comes from Kalki, recorded what appears to be years ago. We obtained it from the Imperial Spy, Jenni. As of right now, we still have no reason to believe that Kalki is alive. But this comes from her, and I apologize to everyone who might be upset by seeing her again."

With that, Jack plays the recording. He stands by the screen and repeats the words for everyone to hear, for those who cannot understand English. Since Kalki's first words are to explain why she is recording it this way, it makes sense why he has to do this. He keeps his own emotions in check throughout, until the explanation of the Bard song that everyone gets to hear. That seems to upset Jack.

Once the recording is over, Jack pauses. "We will need some help from any other English speakers to create a written transcript of the recording so that anyone can access this information at any time. The tape and player will remain here for any Heroes to review. We ask that you please be careful with the machine."

Finally, Jack sits down to let the room descend into the inevitable chaos.

"Well, I'm not dying for this world," Nanami said simply. "And I don't trust anyone who would want to be a god." She can think of a few heroes who might be able to handle the power, but Nanami doesn't trust her own judgement. Two years ago, she would have asked her brother to do that, had he been present here, and now she admits that would have been a terrible, terrible idea. Who is to say any of them would do better?

"But Kalki even admits that there's things she doesn't know. Even if she is some kind of Agent of the Calamity. Like what's in the Temple."

Oh, Jack knew there was a reason he liked Nanami. He smiles at her assertion that she wouldn't trust anyone who would want the kind of power that Kalki was talking about.

"Now theere's an idea." Jack nods firmly. "I don't like the ideas of whatever power the black crystals hold, or a magic song that can commit genocide? But the Temple?" Jack's smile turns a little excited. "That's got 'Adventure' written all over it. We're looking for another option? That's probably where it's hiding."

"And the Eidolons. Whatever Kalki was trying to tell us about them. We don't even know who or what they are, really. But I asked for the Summoner job, so I can find out."

Jack brightens, "That's a really good idea. Have you been by the Eidolon Temple, here in the city? I...think, there's also one in Mysidia? At least, there's a place that more people have been going for more information on them."

"When you do pick it up, I really recommend Leviathan." Jack nods sagely. "I was with the team who helped free him a few months ago, and he seems really powerful."

"i went to the one here. And back in the past. And I'll consider Leviathan. Thank you!."
