Locked from Hostiles

[fulltinyalchemy]

Major, DATS Neon: tighten patrols. This is Fullmetal using my Once In A Command Situation Authorization. This goes for the Autobots and the Titans and any other acting agents within DATS. If you see target Gluttony, put him down HARD and FAST. Do NOT let him within arms reach of you. I don't fucking care if you have something against killing people

Sir Edward?

What sort of beast is this Gluttony?

[fulltinyalchemy]

He looks like a man. A really really fat man with a bald head and little piggy eyes. Despite this? He's super-fast and has powerful arms, legs, and his saliva can melt through the strongest steel to digest anything.

Dunno if he's the one from my universe or Ling's, but both are extremely dangerous.

He's a definite Kill on Sight. You CANNOT, and I repeat, CANNOT reason with this fucker. Kill him dead.

[blueeyeofaragon]

That does sound terrifying. Am I right in he's not human? The speed and power is normal, but the saliva isn't normal.

[fulltinyalchemy]

He's not, he's called a homunculus, an artificial human that is boosted by the creation of the Red Stones through Alchemy. He's stronger, faster and more deadly than any human.

There are seven. There's two here right now, though one of them, well, fuck you Greed...

[bondingalchemy]

Working on it, Ed.

Think that DATS will let me have a bigger chemistry set?

[fulltinyalchemy]

In a case like this? I'm sure the Major's breaking out the Emergency Response Kit.

We'd also best get the medical teams on alert for missing people and/or deaths. Gluttony's never been a neat eater...

[bondingalchemy]

Hmm, okay, then. I'll go put in a request to commandeer the biggest unused room possible.

...and buy more supplies while I'm at it.

[Locked to Ed]

...Can we place Horatio under strict supervision?

[fulltinyalchemy]

All right, I'll make certain to get you the workspace. Trust me, I'm not looking forward to the next couple of months if it takes that long to track this slippery bastard down,

[locked to Sabine]

What'd he do now?

[scrapperzen]

Even if it were Hitler or Tyrant himself, I would not kill him.

I appreciate your warning, though. I'm used to fighting to disable.

And there's something to be said for fighting intelligently.

[fulltinyalchemy]

You're making a mistake. He won't stop until he eats everything. That's what Gluttony does, it devours without remorse.

Don't come crying to me if he devours one of your friends. Cause there's no return from death.

[scrapperzen]

You think I don't know that? But if what Greed said so far is true, he's not just one being, but thousands of unfortunates locked in eternal prison within him.

And if he keeps going by feeding on those souls, just what are you asking me to do? Kill a thousand innocents in the naive belief that all of their lives won't go to waste, in the hopes that the scales will finally tip and all of those sacrifices will finally amount to making ONE being suffer briefly?

I'm not going to be a murderer of any single being, let alone thousands of innocents tied to him.

I'll find another way, thanks.

[fulltinyalchemy]

And what do you think those thousands of people are? They're SUFFERING, crying for the release of their torment.

You know what happened when other-me transmuted part of Envy to get out of Gluttony's Endless Abyss inside them? They THANKED him for releasing their torment.

They're not as one Silverwing, they're being tortured.

[wannaeatbrns]

A creature is willing to kill innocent life with no remorse?

HE MUST BE PUNISHED!

[fulltinyalchemy]

So says the one who wanted to eat brains once before.

[wannaeatbrns]

We just do that to scare...!

[fulltinyalchemy]

Yeah, yeah I know.

Seriously, come with me on patrol tonight. We're going to track down this asshole and make sure he's dead for good.

[wanna_tke_apart]

This is one of the homunculus, isn't it, Ed?

[fulltinyalchemy]

Yeah, Gluttony.

I want you to stay off the streets while he's in the area Winry. I don't want to see you get hurt... or die.

[wanna_tke_apart]

And I suppose you're going to go out there and track him down, aren't you?

[fulltinyalchemy]

What else can I do Winry? Let him loose while he devours innocents?

I killed two already, one with my bare hands. Three if Envy didn't get that cheap shot on me.
