WRO headquarters is in ruins, and Reeve is feeling defeated and ashamed. Vincent has a few things to say to that, however, and tells him not to give up. Vincent head to Shalua's lab, where Yuffie is watching over Shalua herself, who is in a coma after Azul's attack. It is unlikely that she will recover and wake up. Shelke comes in and calls her sister a fool, not understanding why Shalua would sacrifice herself for her, and Yuffie storms out. Vincent gives Shelke some insight into her sister and humanity in general. Lucrecia's data stored in Shelke's neural net reacts to Vincent's presence, and we see some of her memories of Vincent.

Reeve arrives and reveals that the Omega Report files Vincent recovered from Shinra Manor were incomplete, and that to fight Deepground, the WRO must first understand what it is they are doing. Wanting to understand Lucrecia better, Shelke offers to share the data she has collected by uploading the Omega Reports to her neural net.

Yuffie contacts them a moment later, and the move outside, to greet Cid and the airship Shera. They board the airship, and prepare for an assault on Deepground's base... Midgar. Cid will tell you to look around the airship until the meeting. So that's just what you're going to do.

Stage 7 is really just a story chapter. There are no enemies to fight, no stage missions, no memory capsules to pick up. All you're really going to do it talk to people. When you have control of Vincent again, walk up to someone on the airship and press X to talk to them. Everyone will say something to you... and some will give you some interesting tidbits of info... but the people you're really interested in are Yuffie, Reeve, and Shelke, as they act as triggers to advance the game. You can talk to Cid, too, to learn that he's married Shera, and a few other things, but it isn't required.

You'll run into Yuffie as soon as you leave the bridge. When you speak to her, she's feeling a bit airsick, so she won't have much to say right now.

Move on past Yuffie and head down the hallway to find a door on your right. Reeve is in here, and so is a Shop Kiosk. Chat with Reeve to hear about the Omega Report and the meeting you're waiting for.

When you're done in here, head back out into the hallway, and keep following it to the door at the end. You'll find Shelke in the medical bay, having comandered the computers.

When you leave the medical bay, the meeting on the bridge will begin and the plan for the assault will be explained. During the cutscene, Tifa, Cloud, and Barret will make a quick appearance, enroute to Midgar. Shelke initiates her Synaptic Net Dive and takes control of the Shera's computer systems, to create a vast virtual reality display on the bridge of the reassembled Omega Reports. Lucrecia's voice narrates the images the party sees. Omega is revealed to be similar to the WEAPONs that Cloud and company fought in FF7, but on a larger scale. Cait Sith then uses Shelke's system to show the others what he saw while infiltrating Midgar and Reeve goes into detail on his plans to stop the awakening of Omega.

After the cutscene you will regain control of Vincent again. Speak with Yuffie, Reeve, and Shelke again. They're in pretty much the same places as before.

Yuffie's still airsick, but worried about her father who is back in Wutai... which has recently been attacked by Deepground. Keep talking to her, she'll ramble about her ninja abilities for a little bit while trying not to puke.

Reeve will have moved to the opposite side of the room, and Cait Sith wanders into the conversation. Keep talking, and Reeve will divulge that he doesn't know for sure who's bankrolling the WRO... but he makes it pretty clear that he suspects it is Rufus Shinra.

Shelke will be exhausted from her SND, but she talks about Lucrecia's memories that are slowly defragmenting in her mind. Then she falls asleep.

Head back around the hallway and go through the door next to the one leading to the bridge to get to the lower portion of the airship. Follow the hallway until you see a door directly ahead of you. Go through, and you will find yourself in the engine room. There's nothing to do in here other than talk to the engineers, but when you leave, a cutscene will trigger.

Vincent will momentarily loose control of Chaos and have a vision of Lucrecia before returning to his human form, leaving him understandably disturbed. Shelke, having apparently awoken and followed him sees, but says nothing. From here, the assault on Midgar begins and you get to see one of the most dramatic full render scenes in the game. Sit back and enjoy.
