Lab Assistant: Calm down, ma’am. The president is the one who authorized this. *opens a drawer nearby with several cultures and samples that they’ve grown from Jennah* We grafted cells from that strange magical woman that took Sephiroth away. We cloned her, then took some stem cells from the embryo once it was strong enough. They were grafted onto Number Four, and as a result, he was born with a tail – but that was surgically removed a few days afterwards. Past tests have told us that the escaped woman’s DNA was vaguely related to the Dark Dragons that dwell in the Northern Cave, but that’s impossible sounding to me.

Seph: *”I’d rather he experiment on himself than my brothers. We need to get him out of here. Maybe he knows what Hojo’s been up to recently, I’ll ask him.”* *lightly knocks on the glass, grabbing the attention of the small boy. He then proceeds to gently contact him via telepathy*

Number Four: *makes a loud whimpering noise and buries himself under the blankets in the corner, then begins to make frightened screaming noises*
