[The first thing you'll see, when the feed comes on, is one gloved hand adjusting the screen a bit - there's the sound of rain in the background. Then it's withdrawing, showing a hooded figure leaning against a wall close to Shibusen Academy, staring down at the screen.]

It seems like I've missed quite a lot around here...

[Clean face, dark hair, eyepatch.

Yep. Guess who's back, Death City? And looking a lot tired, and a little concerned. Roy Mustang's smiling, though. That's a good thing, right?]

Hello again, everyone. Sorry I took so long, coming back. Members of the Watch, please check in with me immediately. As for the rest... well, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in.

I'm glad you think so, at any rate. Did anything happen on your end, in particular?

Nothing out of the ordinary. My partner helped keep me in line quite effectively.

[It helps that he's an enormous robot and can scoop her up if he needs to.]

'Kept you in line'?

[Blinking now.]

There was a minor instance of the madness attempting to take hold of me- nothing we could not handle.

Ah. It really got to people, huh?

It did- they were very clever to get it into the water supply.

Standard war tactics, really. We'll need to be more vigilant now.

Have they ever done anything like that before?

No. Not to my knowledge, at least.

[He's hoping that it won't get worse, of course.]

All the more reason to be more vigilant then, I suppose.

[Fabiola figures being a little more cautious than usual can't hurt.]

It'd be easier if we had more men to go around, honestly.

Are our numbers down so much, sir?

We've lost some of our more skilled fighters. Some of the shifts don't have anyone on them anymore either.

We should perhaps consider recruiting more of the new arrivals somehow, if that is the case. If they are willing, that is.

That's always the problem. Figuring out who's willing.

Would it not be prudent to simply make an announcement on the network? Or perhaps set up something during the tour for the new arrivals?

I'll cover that first one soon enough. As for the tour... I think they already mention us at one part.

Perhaps a more direct approach is in order then. Regardless, if there is anything that needs to be done with the lack of people still around, I am more than glad to pick up any slack there may be.

I'm glad to hear that. When things settle down, though, do you mind if I contact you? For suggestions on that 'direction approach'.

Not at all, sir! I would be more than glad to help if I am needed.

And I'm glad for that. We'll talk on it soon.

Yes sir.
