Wonder what this is for anyway.. It sure doesn't look like anything ShinRa standard. No logo or nothin' and these sure as hell aren't... Wait a minute, that's not a call button, is it.

[ Only a few minutes later and there's a new message to follow. This time, it's an actual video now and Zack's looking pretty sheepish at that. ] Okay, now I think I got this finally figured out. I also take it this isn't some ShinRa standard training program...

[ He salutes quickly with a confidence that may or may not be exaggerated. ] I, uh... saw something about mind control? Anyone care to fill me in with that? Or anything for that matter?

[ Except maybe the body bag in the morgue thing. He's not sure if he wants to know. Capture...
method? ]
