Chapter 2: Showdown in the Wastes (Dirge of Cerberus)

Reeve and Vincent are in a truck, traveling from Kalm to Edge.
Vincent: "Reeve. Who were those men?"
Reeve: "Deepground soldiers."
Vincent: "Deepground?"
Reeve: "Yes. The shadow of the Shinra Company, constructed by the former president and completely hidden from the rest of the world."
Vincent: "Constructed?"
Reeve: "His goal was to create an army of superhuman warriors--not once letting morality interfere."
Reeve: "The man you met earlier, Azul, is also a member of Deepground. But, he belongs to an elite unit known as the Tsviets."
Reeve: "The whole organization was kept a secret. That is why there is so little information on them. However, it's nothing like I expected."
Vincent: "Not even a person in your position was informed?"
Reeve: "No. Other than the president himself, the only people who knew of Deepground's existence were most likely Heidegger, Scarlet, and the head of biochemical research, Hojo."
Reeve: "After the president's death, the transfer of power to his son was carried out so quickly, I doubt Rufus was ever briefed on the project."
Reeve: "As for me, I was told the information was on a need to know basis. And as an official in charge of urban development, I guess I wasn't on their list."
Reeve: "All the intel we currently have on Deepground was only discovered recently when we came across some of Scarlet's old files."
Reeve: "[sighs] Vincent. Have you heard of the mass disappearance that occurred recently in Junon?"
Vincent: "I remember the report saying that 20 or 30 people suddenly vanished."
Reeve: "That's what the report would like you to believe."
Reeve: "It was determined internally that if the truth was leaked, they wouldn't be able to contain the inevitable panic."
Reeve: "The actual number of people that went missing that day was 1200. 1200 people simply vanished without a single trace."
Reeve: "The WRO conducted a private investigation but we came up empty-handed. Except for the rumors."
Reeve: "Since the Junon disappearances, people in Edge have been on edge."
Reeve: "They say that night after night you can hear screams coming from the direction of Midgar."
Reeve: "Could it be the wind? Let me ask you, does the wind sound like a thousand wailing souls?"; Awkward pause in the conversation.
Reeve: "Listen. Can you hear them? The cries?"; Some scattered voices can be heard in the distant background.
WRO Member: "Commissioner! A rogue transmission is being broadcast on all wavelengths!"; Vincent and Reeve look at the tv screen. A man is sitting in a throne. As he speaks the camera shows him from different angles.
Guy: "At last. The time has come to cleanse this world."
Guy: "The pure will be "spared" for the cause, while the tainted will be hunted down and exterminated."
Guy: "They shall be slashed, strangled, and slaughtered. Beaten, stabbed, and crushed. Garroted and impaled. Shot and executed without mercy."
Guy: "The time has come to cleanse this world."; He laughs rather villainously; the transmission cuts out.
Reeve: "Where could that signal have...?"; The truck rumbles.
Reeve: "What was that?"; He opens the back of the truck, just as a beast jumps up towards him; Vincent shoots it.
Reeve: "Guard hounds!"
Vincent: "I'll take care of your pet problem. Just keep driving."
Reeve: "Vincent! Use this!"; A machine gun turret with accompanying seat emerges from the floor of the truck. Vincent sits in it. Eventually the truck crashes; Vincent gets out.
Vincent: "Are you alright?"
Reeve: "I'll be fine. But that's more than I can say for the engine."
Reeve: "Vincent. If possible, I want you to continue on to Edge. That transmission we just saw troubles me."
Reeve: "Once I have repaired the Shadowfox, I'll need to return to headquarters."
Reeve: "A WRO squad has already been dispatched to Edge. Join them and help liberate the city."
Vincent: "I guess I have no choice."; Vincent makes his way through the wasteland, killing Guard hounds and a boss, Crimson Hound. A little after, Deepground soldiers on hoverbikes attack him, and they get easily dispatched.; Vincent has reached Edge; a rather grey and depressing town, currently in the midst of a rainstorm. It was here that Rosso slaughtered the WRO squad.
