01 [video]

[Good morning, fellow abductees of the Tower. There is a cheerfully smiling man in a lab coat on the terminal feed now and there's nothing you can do about it! Well, okay, you could just walk away, but where's the fun in that? He gives the screen a little wave.]

Hello, hello! Done poking around our strange new prison yet? No? I guess you won't be through with that for awhile. Still, I failed to introduce myself before everyone set off!

[He had more important things to do than talk to all the little lost boys and girls, but now he doesn't!]

I am Lloyd Asplund, an engineer in the employ of the Britannian Empire. That's really all there is to that. Now on to something more fascinating! Our collars! [He taps his own, an orange one.] I did find myself a few tools, but it was all for naught! These have no obvious means of coming off. No seams, no screws, nothing. Makes you wonder how they managed to get them on in the first place, hmm? I suppose if we got our hands on a welding torch, that might be somewhat more effective, but you might not enjoy the process.

[because lol fire.]

They appear to be quite durable, as well, so you may be better off not trying anything drastic to break them. You'll just end up hurting yourselves~.

I'm from Amestris, but I know of a few others. It borders Drachma, Aerugo, and Creta, and Xing is across the desert to the east.

[he can do the best thing]

Oh. I'm not very good with plastic.

Yes, sir. Alchemy is the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. [how does he not know that...?] So if I knew the chemical composition of these collars...
greennotgold: (Surprised)

Yes, sir, I don't really understand. [thank goodness for typing, otherwise he'd be stuttering so hard]

No, sir, I mostly work with plants and materials made from plants. Alchemy has been around for a really long time. It's still a real science.

Protoscience? But that doesn't make sense.

I can show you if you'd like.
greennotgold: (Science)

Timeline discrepancies? What do you mean?

Oh, I'm sorry, I should have said. My name is Fletcher Tringham.
greennotgold: (Stunned)

I guess that explains why the letter said that "my" world was destroyed...

[this is so weird]
