{7th Transmutation; voice}

Okay. Obviously quite a few of you are aware of the bombings that went down in Washington DC and De Chima. And I believe I know who is responsible for it. Witnesses and someone else I talked to confirmed it, aside from my own experience with said suspect. Before I do name him, I want everyone to be careful not to underestimate him. I know there's the police but I don't want them getting hurt or killed trying to bring him in with his alchemy.

But, backing up here. It's Kimblee. Witnesses another imPort questioned mentioned him by description even if he was using the fake name of Karl Yatsov. He was seen talking on the phone in another language - presumably Russian and was seen later on, the 'marks' on his hands are pretty identifiable. They're alchemy arrays. Without those, he can't perform any transmutations. At least, not without drawing the array elsewhere to make up for it. In theory. I won't go into detail about alchemy unless someone asks for specifics, but all you need to know is he claps his hands with said arrays, and makes things blow up. In a nutshell.

The point is, the name is obviously fake, there are no records of any imPort here with the name 'Karl Yatsov'. If you have any questions about the witnesses, what Captain Ananke said on the matter, ask Edgeworth. If it's about the alchemy, then I'm probably the one to ask of the two of us.

Alchemy -- do you mean in the classical medieval sense? Iron into gold, and all that? Transformative, I imagine.

[braided_icarus]

Yeah. We could transmute gold. But that's illegal. For obvious economic reasons.

[Not that this stopped Ed once. But still.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

But surely you didn't stop at gold?

[braided_icarus]

Nearly anything is possible, so long as you have the materials. It's ethics and legalities that have limits. Though certain things are just literally impossible, even with alchemy. Why, what were you thinking?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I should explain the context -- I'm a psychiatrist, you see, and while I specialize in imPort psychology, there is a limitation on the facilities here, available for imPort use. I was hoping to build these things for our function, but I only have the designs. I was wondering if you, as you are so educated in your alchemical craft, could help me?

[braided_icarus]

If you have plans and we could figure materials, I could try help. Can't hurt to at least take a look at what you might need.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I have a few blueprints, of course -- you'll have to forgive if they seem rudimentary in style, I'm not architect. Perhaps once things have... Settled down for you? I certainly don't want to interrupt the urgency of your stated matter.

[braided_icarus]

Right. Anything that would at least give me some idea of what you're after will be fine. But...yeah, maybe we can figure something once Kimblee's been dealt with. I'll get back to you on this. Was this just altering an existing place or?

[slightlyoffchilt]

It's more... Construction. I have a facility specifically designed for imPorts, but it's an arduous process. Your ability would greatly streamline the effect, I have no doubt.

[braided_icarus]

Okay. Sure. So long as we have access to materials, I can see what I can do. I'll let you know once this Kimblee mess is sorted and we can arrange this proper.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Thank you -- deeply. [He practically gushes the words.] I think you've helped me in quite the conundrum. I'll ensure all the materials are achieved, and -- oh. [A beat.] If you need a consultant psychiatrist, for Kimblee's prosecution, if your efforts come to that, well. I'd be happy to oblige.

[braided_icarus]

Oh. I hadn't even thought of that. But that seems a fair deal. If it comes to that. Sure.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You can contact me personally, anytime.

[braided_icarus]

I will. Thanks.
