Armstrong: I had to get to the bottom of the corruption plaguing our military. And sometimes you have to play with vermin to sniff out a rat. (edit)
Scar: But the Elric brothers... they live only for each other. (edit)
Gluttony: Death... Death... Soon, they'll all be dead!
Pride: Not if that human-wannabe can't get a grip on her own emotions and pull it together in time. (edit)
Archer: Have Scar and Kimbley killed each other in battle? Or is the Crimson Alchemist just out having too much fun?! (edit)
