[Brief piano figure; syncopated guitar hook] [Verse 1: controlled male baritone] Clean route, quiet extraction No witnesses, no distraction Tseng gives the signal, we move on time Then a throwing star cuts the power line Empty case and a bright green flash Our target leaves with the evidence stash One little note where the payload sat: “Nice security. Work on that.” [Pre-Chorus: female harmony responses] Seal the exits! [Response] She’s on the roof! Check the cameras! [Response] She stole those too! [Chorus: wide guitars, stacked vocals] DAMAGE CONTROL! She’s making a game of the whole operation DAMAGE CONTROL! We’re funding her latest vacation! We’ve got the training, the clearance, the cars She’s skipping across them and throwing stars Shinra wants answers—we’d like them too Roxie, we are coming for you! [Verse 2: tight drums, smoky brass] Reno’s rod meets a sprinkler head Rude finds glitter in his glove instead Elena corners her—perfect position That’s a decoy. Revise the mission. Rufus wants results by noon She sends his office a singing balloon Another vault, another escape She signs our losses with smiling tape [Piano bridge: restrained, increasingly irritated] She doesn’t need the gil She doesn’t need the fame She waits until we’re watching— Then does it all again [Four-bar guitar solo; taiko pursuit fills] [Final Chorus: full band, renewed authority] DAMAGE CONTROL! Enough of the games and the improvisation DAMAGE CONTROL! We’re closing the whole damn station! She’s got our materia; we’ve got her trail One clean interception—this time we prevail The case clicks open, the room goes still— [Sudden instrumental stop] A note: “Thanks for the refill.” [Short piano ending] Another incident report.
