It's worse than I imagined.
These is really nothing left at all.
Scar wouldn't be here, we are back to square one.
What exactly are you looking for anyway.
The Philosopher's Stone. Someone told us it was created here a long time ago, before Ishbal was destroyed.
That's impossible. If the Ishbalans were capable of something like that, they would have put up some kind of resistance.
Resistance? What do you mean? There was armed tension between the military and Ishbal for years before the war broke out. and when it did, it was because of an Ishbalan revolt, in reaction to a soldier accidentally shooting a child.
So that's the way they told it? I always wondered what they would say. But I never got to know; I was locked up in Lab. 5 for 14 years.
But that was when the tension first started, you would've just been a kid.
I may look young because of the experiments, but I'm actually old enough to be your mom.
That old? I mean wow.
We were special op soldiers who don't officially exist. They didn't brief us on our assignment until moments before we had to move out. That's the way it always was. [flashback to what actually started the war] We were ordered to infiltrate Ishbal and cause disruptive activities on a large scale. We wer told that they were planning an attack on Central, and we had to prevent it, covertly. And anyone who say us, could not be left alive.
But why would the military start a war without provocation? And how come no one stepped up to tell our people what really happened.
No one ever knew about it.
You did.
Well let me finish my story.
No not again. Ew, weird.
I think I'm missing your point.
Wait. It is a visual. Right after the war in Ishbal started, we were all taken into custody without explanation. It wasn't smart to resist. Those of us that lived became the rats of Lab. 5.
They turned you into cameras.
They preferred to further their research and silence us at the same time. But why?
They didn't want the real reason for the war to get out. It is part of some greater truth.
But what the hell for? How could they profit from Ishbal?
Someone is here
Yea, our next lead. Stop!
