It was in her small lounge that Tifa kicked up her feet after a long shift on the KKR Midori. She had taught her juniors some defensive stances and moves that would be beneficial in any situation. Those very lessons came from her mentor back on Gaia. She sighed a deep breath and turned on the television that was in the room, the intergalactic news coming on. She didn't really pay attention to what they said, just simply stared out the wide glass into the galaxy. She'd never thought that she would actually be up here....she was living Cid's dream. She could remember when she and Cloud would look up from the water tower in the middle of the town square in Nibleheim, look up at the stars and talk about their dreams.
Tifa chuckled and got up, undressing as she walked to her bathroom. Turning the water on, she hopped in the shower and quickly shampooed, conditioned and washed. After she was finished, a quick towel covering and she was exiting the small room to sit on her plush couch and watch the images playing across the screen.

Tori took this time to take a stroll through her ship, overseeing stations and making sure all the important people in her crew had what they needed. It wasn't standard for a captain to be doing those things, but then again Tori wasn't your standard captain. That was part of the reason Kari appointed her to this position to begin with. She and most of her crew represented Moon Valley's part in The Alliance, with Genius representing the Resistance group that was still located in Isafaro. Pretty much everyone had their reasons for being aboard, such was life.
Tori finally stopped in front of the door leading into the lounge Tifa occupied. Remembering her manners, Tori buzzed the door waiting for permission to enter before the automatic doors slid open and Tori entered the lounge, noticing that Tifa was only in a towel as the door behind her slid close and she coughed, turning her head to look at a wall while her arms were behind her back.
“Is this a bad time?” |

Tifa looked over her shoulder to see Tori standing at the entrance of her small living area looking at a wall. She reached up to dry her wet hair with another towel as she walked towards Tori. "No, not at all. I was just finishing showering and watching some television. I was thinking of making a drink. Would you like one?" Tifa wrapped her hair up and clutched at the front of her towel, hand resting on her ample chest. "It's odd for you come by at this hour. Isn't this about the time you take a few hours rest?" It certainly was strange for Tori to come by. Was something on her mind? Tifa motioned towards the couch as she walked to her small minibar. "Have a seat, Tor."

"No, not at all. I was just finishing showering and watching some television. I was thinking of making a drink. Would you like one?"
That much was hard to overlook with the towels. Tori was doing everything she can not to stare, she had bit more self control than Lily or Nex who would have probably been drooling by this point. Of course she didn't acknowledged the towel and went to answer Tifa's question:
“I don't suppose you brought any Dr. Pepper with you into deep space.”
"It's odd for you come by at this hour. Isn't this about the time you take a few hours rest?"
“Thought I'd take a stroll.”
"Have a seat, Tor."
Tori took her offer and sat down on the nearby couch in front of the TV. TV in space, now there was something Tori never thought she'd live to see.
“You have everything you need down here?” |

"Actually, I did bring some up. Would you like a can?" Tifa reached into her fridge, bending slightly to grab at one of the two cans that were cold. For herself, she snagged a Mike's Black Cherry Lemonade. It simply was delicious. Using her teeth, she opened her drink and took a swig, tossing Tori her drink. As she neared the couch, she hopped over the couch and plopped down on the other end, propping her feet back up on the table. "No, I'm fine here. I have everything I need. What more could I ask for?" A smile crossed her face as she looked at Tori. "You have something on your mind, Tor. You usually don't come over to these parts unless you need to confide in me about something. What is it?"

“Yes.”
Tori caught the soda can tossed her way before sitting down next to Tifa on the sofa.
"No, I'm fine here. I have everything I need. What more could I ask for? You have something on your mind, Tor. You usually don't come over to these parts unless you need to confide in me about something. What is it?"
“I really don't have anything on my mind, honest.” |

"Just performing the daily checks, now, are we?" Tifa spoke, looking out the window again. Without thinking, she began to talk. "You know, back in my world...there was a being named Jenova. It came to my world from the stars and was the cause for the downfall of one of the first civilizations. That was about 2,000 years ago, give or take a few years." She went on and stood, walking to her dresser to dig for clothes. "Anyways, nobody knew about Jenova until 7 or 8 years ago when one of our larger corporations was look for a better way to harvest the life energy of the planet in order to make human life better on the surface. Well, they found Jenova and thought it was a one of the aforementioned Ancients. They took it and began to study it, which lead to experimentation with it's cells and Mako (the energy of the Lifestream) on the troops that the company had hired as the military. If they were able to retain these cells, they would be given certain classes and be placed into an elite group named SOLDIER, then given classes, i.e. Class 1, 2, and 3. Now, moving forward...." She finally found the bra, shirt and shorts she wanted and moved into the bathroom to pull them on. Tifa kept things simple for the most part. All of the clothing items were black. She continued talking through the door.
"One SOLDIER named Sephiroth was one of the one's that was directly exposed to the cells and Mako in utero, making him one of the first. He was revered a hero at first and everyone wanted to be just like him, including a good friend of mine named Cloud. Well, he didn't stay too sane and ended up destroying my hometown. Cloud killed him and on our lives went. Well, I met back up with Cloud and he seemed...off. Turns out he was given the same exposure as the others and he had Jenova's cells in him too. Well, to try and make a long story short, Jenova and Sephiroth's will had combined and gone on a bloody rampage across my world. We finally got to what was called the Northern Crater and after a long grueling battle, defeated it." By this time she had returned to the living room area, brushing her hair out lightly. "Even after all that, we endured another group of people that tried to bring Jenova back to Gaia. Cloud beat them, too." As she spoke of the blonde, she couldn't help but wonder where he was and what he was doing. Was he still stuck in the past Gaia?
"What I'm getting to is...do you think that something like Jenova exists out there? Something as bad as that? That's what I think about now." Tifa leaned against the glass, staring at Tori.
