all of soldier gets sick how does asgzc lazard and pr react
Lazard starts the emergency online press conference looking like he hasn't slept in three days. His tie is crooked, there are visible coffee stains on his shirt, and the vein on his temple is doing something worrying. The Shinra PR team is just off-camera in full panic mode.
Lazard: Good afternoon. I'd like to assure everyone that there is not a virus going around SOLDIER. The reports of mass illness are purely coincidental. SOLDIER's health remains our top priority.
Lazard: To demonstrate that our top operatives are perfectly healthy, I've brought out our finest example of peak human condition—Sephiroth.
*The camera pans out to show Sephiroth standing stiffly beside Lazard, face blank, arms crossed*
Lazard: As you can see, he's healthy as a chocobo and the health of SOLDIER is not in jeopardy—
Lazard: Moving on! Sephiroth isn't the only one immune to this non-existent illness. We also have—Genesis! Genesis, come out here. Genesis?
*Lazard grabs Genesis by the collar, and drags him on camera. Genesis is fully encased in a hazmat suit, carrying a spray bottle and misting the air like it's a spiritual cleansing*
Genesis, muffled: Don't breathe near me.
Lazard, shoving him away: Never mind. Useless. Angeal! Where's Angeal? Angeal is perfectly—
*The camera pans to Angeal in the background wiping Sephiroth's nose with a tissue like an exhausted mother dealing with a cranky toddler*
Lazard: No do NOT film that.
*The camera cuts back to Lazard, whose soul has visibly left his body*
Lazard: ...Anyway. As you can see, everything is under control and none of my SOLDIERs are sick.
*Zack bursts into frame, wrapped in three blankets, eyes glassy, nose red*
Zack: I have never been more sick. Director, can we order soup?
Lazard, to the camera: I have never seen this man in my life.
*Cloud walks by the camera, Lazard grabs him and pulls him into frame*
Lazard: Look! Exhibit A. If this isn't the absolute picture of health! Bright-eyed, strong, resilient—look at him! Not a sniffle, not a cough! He's practically the poster child for SOLDIER wellness!
Cloud: But...sir? I'm not in SOLDIER. I'm infantry.
Lazard: WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?
