Eleventh Transmutation [Video]

[sonofgold]

Who: Alphonse Elric and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: March 19th

[Alphonse is serious and all business when he clicks the feed on.]

I'd like to offer my services to any exploration teams going down into the depths. My alchemy can be used to reshape metal, and the weapons sold in the shops here might be useful for whatever is lurking. I also have a Security augment, so if anybody needs some muscle to come along on their expeditions... I'm game.

I just hope we can figure out what's going on. I'm working under the assumption that Atroma's going to move us onward soon, whether we want to go or not... and we'll have to leave these people behind, no matter what condition they're in.

Comments

[Impossible to keep the poker face at those news. Shiro's visibly alarmed.] They let a blind person pilot? And the ship didn't crash?

[Unbeliable. It takes him a moment to return to their main topic.] Protecting the people that are venturing in - that I can do.

[sonofgold]

Yeah. I mean, the ships have autopilot, and she did have people to help her, but... I suppose they found it funny.

[Al smiles.]

That's my main goal. I'd... I'd like to find a way to help the Dasioe if we can. I don't know if you've been around this planet much, but they don't have much time left.

[padadin]

I do not see the joke. [And he has a pretty morbid sense of humor...]

I've been around enough to notice. You're right, we should work on it asap. Have any others offered to join too?

[sonofgold]

Me neither. Toph herself thought it was hilarious, though, so that's something.

I've had several volunteers, so we should have enough for a decent-sized crew. And if we find we're in over our heads, well, we can always make a run for it.

[padadin]

[That's definitely something, and he decides not to comment on it, not having met Toph herself.]

If things get really difficult, I'm also a fighter. You can call me Shiro, by the way, pilot of the SS Blameless. Whenever you're ready to go, I will.

[sonofgold]

I'm Alphonse. Nice to meet you, Shiro, and thanks for the offer of help. I'm a martial artist myself- Teacher taught me and Brother how to fight at the same time she was teaching us alchemy- and my alchemy is pretty handy in combat, too.
