Rygdea let out a puff of smoke as he continued to look at several reports that came by in the last few days. It was a pain in the ass looking through all of those reports. In all honesty he had expected something like this to happen sooner or later. After all, Idealism is only for fools who can't place their feet on the earth. He saw it through Cid not once but twice, so he should've been used to this.

When he helped found the Academy with Hope's father, no the former Academy Director, he promised himself that he wouldn't let any fal'Cie of any kind screw around with humans. But like any political system things are not meant to stay stable. No matter how much evidence he had shown or how the current Director tried to persuade them they still blamed the Academy's principles for the happened to all of them. "For Etro's sake, nothing more than an excuse to change the field of power." He muttered.

And it was true, this new PSICOM are going back to the old ways of Cocoon. They are hurting the innocent if needed. No matter what the Acadmy tried it always ended in a stalemate between the Academy and PSICOM. Neither were willing to give into the other. It was just things that he has seen before and Rygdea can't say that he isn't sick of watching. However, he chose this position to help others. To make sure that the families of those that fell during the assault on cocoon are safe.

"I need a break." Rygdea sighed and stood up. He saved the reports and turned off his computer. There was no need to think it at the moment. He should just let it go and wing it for now. It wasn't exactly the best plan but it has worked in the past. He left his office and just started to wander around the halls of the Academy. He watched as scientists and assistants alike ran through the halls to get from one place to another. Receiving help from those of other words had evened up the playing field, each had their own unique fighting style.

As Rygdea thought back everything that he has worked so far, to promote human independence from the fal'Cie was being crushed beneath his feet. And frankly he placed the blame on PSICOM, their actions were no better than the old PSICOM. That was what made him retire from the Sanctum in the first place. To see them hurting the innocent for their own gain. That is just something that he wouldn't let go.

Right now his current goal was to maintain the stability of the Academy and to keep the current Director alive an well. Rygdea wasn't the type of man to just sit back behind his desk and twiddle his thumbs while the civil war is going on. He was a man of action, and he doesn't mind to get his hands dirty. Soon he will go onto the field and clean up, he just needed a partner to do so. In the end he was just a soldier at heart. "I'll be damned if those bastards screw up everything that we worked so hard to achieve."

For the most part this looks good Axis! I'll just ask you to fix up a few places where you slipped back out of third person. In particular the second to the last paragraph needs a bit of fixing up. What helps me is to speak the sentences out loud to see if it sounds like third person :3 One place this occurred was "As Rygdea thought back everything that he has worked so far," which should be "As Rygdea thought back to everything that he had worked so far,". Thank you ^_^

I'll go ahead and give the first approval, but I'd recommend, before Taiya gives the second, that you look at some of the verbs again. There's still a few instances where you go from past tense verbs (which are correct) like "were" to present tense verbs like "doesn't" and "are," making it all read very strangely. I haven't seen it much in past auditions from you, so I assume it's just an isolated thing. Just keep in mind, as you're writing, to mentally remind yourself - I can't "does" something in the past, I "did" something in the past.
