[Rufus's voice is even as he told Rude about how Mutten had found him and chained him in the basement of the villa. He glossed over the torture, only saying that he had managed to string him along for two weeks despite Mutten's 'best attempts'. He doubted he needed to go into future detail about that. Turks were well versed in those kinds of attempts to gather information.

There is no change in his voice as he talked about how Kilmister, one of Hojo's former research assistants had gotten him out of there only to put him with Geostigma patients. This time he did pause to take a long drink. This part was going to get ugly.]


When the Lifestream came up to protect the planet from Meteor, it was tainted with the traces of Sephiroth and Jenova. Anyone who came into contact with it contracted Geostigma. I wasn't infected yet when Kilmister took me to his research 'facility', I was there to give him leverage to get what he wanted from Shinra.

[Which is why Rufus had the man shot without hesitation as soon as Kilmister had uttered the name Sephiroth.]

I won't tell you how I got it. [This time there is a slight hitch to his voice that would be undetectable to anyone who didn't know him well but he kept his composure nonetheless. That moment had been a reoccurring nightmare over the years.] I was sick for about two years, until just before I came here. It's gone now, thankfully.
