Exploring that library -- or whatever this room had actually turned out to be -- was like a dream. Loads and loads of information that he could explore; old logs, files, and, to the boy’s surprise, movies! Of course, he took every tape in the vicinity, regardless of their lack of title or cryptic words. In the end, whatever seemed remotely interesting with him, he took, eventually holding a pile of them and showing it to the man who was his companion in this endeavor of theirs. To be quite frank, Chadley had prioritized his curiosity more than whatever his initial goal here was. He could only pray that the general didn’t tell Hojo about his behavior. 

Excitement is clear in his gasp and the glint in his eyes when the other seems to accept his request and he wobbles towards the tv alongside the man. “Yes, sir!” He exclaims before leaving the pile of tapes on the nearby table. Rushing so as to not keep the man waiting, he grabs onto cables, crouching down and proceeding to connect them on the nearby outlets.

“Are those all of the necessary cables?” He asks before standing and dusting over his clothing. Thank goodness he had left his lab coat back at the laboratory or else it would’ve been full of dust and stains by now. Smiling, he walks over to the table again and sliding the tapes around it. “Let’s see... I found some interesting yet vague titles here and there, but I do not know which one record upon first...” 

So, an idea springs up. He turns to the man and nods in swift determination. “I think you should be the one to choose, sir Heidegger! Maybe we could find one related to your earlier years around here... Oh! I also did find a tape plainly named Shinra... I am assuming it must be related to the President! Here, you can eye them over!” Chadley invites the man, gesturing for him to get close to the table where the tapes awaited to be chosen.
