This is Armstrong. Go ahead.

Major General Armstrong, this is Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. I arrived a few days ago in Heropa and deemed it would be prudent to check in.

I've already spoken with Colonel Mustang and Edward Elric, both of whom have informed me of current events.

voice

[darwinatrix]

Lieutenant. Welcome back.

What have Elric and Mustang told you?

voice

[strictdiscipline]

They've given me a basic rundown of the situation here, as well as a brief explanation of the events that occurred during the Promised Day.

[ But. ]

Welcome 'back'?

voice

[darwinatrix]

Yes. You've been here before.

Most people don't remember their time spent here before, so I'm not surprised you don't, either.

voice

[strictdiscipline]

[ Well. That answers that. ]

Are there any assignments I should be picking back up then?

voice

[darwinatrix]

Depends. You were a member of RISE, beforehand. I'd imagine you're still loyal to Mustang before all else, aren't you?

voice

[strictdiscipline]

[ If she were the type to laugh she would right now, because of all questions, that's the one whose answer never changes. As it is, her answer's simple, succinct. ]

Of course.

voice

[darwinatrix]

[A sigh.] You're wasted on him.

If he'll release you to RISE, your aid wouldn't go amiss.

voice

[strictdiscipline]

I'll take that as a compliment, Major General.

[ With that said: ]

You're welcome to negotiate with him on the terms and conditions, but I suspect the answer will be the same.

[ If only because she's quite content where she is. ]

voice

[darwinatrix]

No, I suppose it wouldn't either. Shame, really. Last time both of you were on board.

voice

[strictdiscipline]

[ 'Both' of them? ]

What changed?

voice

[darwinatrix]

Both of you, apparently. RISE is the same as it was when you left.
