Between Deadpools' declaration he was going to form a miltia, alongside the other tired concerns with regards to the length they should involve the general population in their fight with the Calamity and/or Palitutu, and the various other plans being voiced; about hacking and giant robots and the crystal knight protections he'd known about already, Sephiroth remained stood away from any particular table or chair for the most part. A lot of his time spent listening, but otherwise in silent contemplation.
There were concerns, while important in their own right, which sparked fierce debate and they were bound to do so no matter the time of day. There was also the question of how they were going to have some 'safety net', by military means or otherwise, to counter a potential WEAPON attack if it did indeed fall that way. But there was something that bugged Sephiroth about that plan; Palitutu has had the WEAPON in her possession all this time, and has only issued an ultimatum comparatively recently. If she had wanted to cause mass destruction like that, at any point up til now she'd had the means to do so. So why wait?
Jack had put it simply and it felt strange that the silver haired SOLDIER seemed to be falling alongside the same wavelength more often than not in recent days. Palitutu, for all her plots and schemes, was certainly not insane. For all she had used and manipulated the Heroes of Light, stopping the Calamity was for sure a goal that they shared. Only she'd now come to the reasoning that they weren't going to do so, and so this cycle was a dud. Better to wipe the slate clean and start over, if it was that far gone.
So it was up to them to prove her otherwise. Clearing his throat, Sephiroth approached somewhere near one of the central tables, casting a long glance around the room for anyone who might meet his. It seemed very much, like it was time to get some work done; almost as if a teacher had suddenly crept up from somewhere inside the otherwise stoic and often moody SOLDIER.
"Might I suggest we attempt to obtain some common ground, with regards to what we do and do not yet know about the Calamity and how to defeat it?"
He paused, as if to wait for more people that might have been only half listening yet at the same time there could be people who chose to ignore him, as well.
"I doubt I'm the only one somewhat overwhelmed by the pieces of this puzzle and no clear way to put it together. But if we could solve this, or at least identify gaps in what we need to know still, we might even stand a chance to avoid this whole situation entirely."
