Hidden Truth [Log]

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

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.

Tsubomi listened to everything that was being said. What was being said by Kalki was a little too much, but at the same time, her own convictions won't waver. Not like this.

"I... I can't..." Tsubomi began before she shook her head in anger. "Keep that video off, please! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!"

Tsubomi's on her feet, a determined and defiant look on her face. "We can't just assume that Kalki's plan is the only way to fix this. We know it's not - we're over here fighting over if it's a good idea to become... gods! We don't have the right to do that! None of us and especially Kalki! We need other plans, talk to other people... e-even if it means confronting Palitutu again!"

It takes awhile for Tsubomi to realize she blew up like she did before she shrank back. "S...Sorry..."
