Sephiroth had suspected that this point might be raised. And in all honesty, he wasn't quite sure what they -could- do. Even now, he saw each person in the room as little more than strategic advantages and a collection of weak points.
But then, that was his job. What -they- had trained him to do.
As it happened, the trooper had the best solution. "There are two very important factors to consider. First, before coming here, I did not -know- I would be going insane at some undefined point in the future. I do now, as well as the why and the how." Folding his arms, he looked directly at Rufus. "In the meantime, while a method of destroying that particular bit of history is devised, the best bet is to keep me as far away from it - and Nibelheim - as possible. Chain-less mithril restraints and trained guards, as well as automated security armed with heavy tranquilizers, should prove more than adequate. If worse comes to worst, Hojo can probably cook something up."
If nothing else, they could drug him heavily enough that he wouldn't wake for half a decade. If ever. It was a chance he was willing to take.
Lastly, he turned to Cid. "I have no way to assure you, beyond my word. If it comes down to it, I will personally hand you my weapons and every scrap of materia I have that isn't a restorative, as a gesture of peace, provided that you first give me time to go and get them."
