"What exactly are you talking about, bitch?" Martel asked, her voice still very firm, though showing a slight amount of apprehension.
Ingnoring Martel's question, Sloth nodded. "From what I can tell, she's only a few weeks into gestation" she said, glancing at the Chimera. "But that will soon be changed".

"If we had to wait for nature to do it's job than we would be stuck like this for quite a while." Lust agreed. "But why not just wait till she was a bit bigger?" She asked. It had probably been easier to just wait than to find ways to urge the natural birth process.

"From what I can tell, this is the safest time to perform the transmutation" Pride said from his post, not even looking at the three women. He continued his explanation in a cool voice. "Likewise waiting for her to give birth naturally would not be smart. Greed would no doubt keep us and the soldiers away from his offspring in anyway possible".
Martel hissed at Pride, before leaning back onto the couch and holding her stomach slightly. If there was one thing she wouldn't miss once this was all over, it was the constant nausea and stomach pains.

Lust looked at Pride for a moment as he explained the plan before looking back to Martel. "Greed has gone way too weak." She commented lightly as she looked at the chimera before looking at her stomach. "How is it?" She asked lightly. She nearly sounded interested, just almost, though the sneer on her face made the mock in the question obvious.

"You'd like to know, wouldn't you?" Martel responded, practically spitting the words back at the Homunculus. The worst thing about this was the total lack of respect. These assholes were speaking to her like she was a child.

"Emotionally speaking, you would be correct. Our brother seems to have softened up since his escape, no doubt thanks to his companions. After connecting with a bunch of sideshow freaks, he finally discovered his heart. A beautiful tale, isn't it?"
Pride slowly walked to the other side of the room, stopping in front of the large shelf where he kept his wine. Taking the bottle he had used for his master earlier, he poured himself a glass and took a small sip. After pausing for a moment, he looked over his shoulder at Lust. "But make no mistake: Greed is not to be underestimated. Right now I'd wager that his power exceeds even my own."
He made his way back over to them, resting his visible eye on their captive. "That is why our master wants her children. If she cannot have Greed, his children are the next best thing. Hopefully they will be as powerful as their father."

"And what makes you think I'd let you have them" Martel asked Pride, her voice taking on a dangerous tone.
Sloth glanced at the Fuhrer before walking towards him. "Should I find a suitable alchemist to perform the transmutation" she offered, keeping her voice too low for Martel to hear.

Pride answered her with a sinister smile. "Obstinate to the end, aren't we? I'm afraid I hold all the chips here, my dear. You're welcome to try, but you won't be able to keep them from me."
Giving Sloth a curt nod in response, he turned back to Martel. "Why don't you relax? Stress isn't good for the babies, and our master needs them in perfect condition."

Haley entered the military headquarters, she hated the very sight of this place. It was where alchemists came to die. But, she had heard of this "Edward Elric" and was searching for him to help her, well she needed information from him.
She approached a dead end in a hallway. "damn." she whispered to herself. She dug in her pocket and pulled out some chalk. She started to draw a transmutation circle on the wall. Afterward she decided to make her own door as she transmuted one with the circle. "There..." She said with a sense of pride in her voice. She continued on her way making doors with every turn she made. She figured it would be a lot easier to find what she needed to find by forcing her way through the base.

Without another word, Sloth transformed into her Juliet Douglas disguise and left the area. She then stepped around the area, looking for an alchemist that showed enough skill.
"How exactly am I supposed to relax, you two-faced asshole?" Martel spat at the Fuhrer. The more he spoke to her, the more pissed off she became. At this point she was ready to take his sword and stab him through the head. It wouldn't do much, but it would make her feel better.

"I would offer you a drink, but given your situation that wouldn't be a good idea, would it?" Pride chuckled. "You're only hurting your children by getting yourself worked up like this. Why don't you just close your eyes and rest for a while?"

"Bastard" the snake-chimera muttered, turning onto her side and closing her eyes. It wasn't so much to relax. More it was because she wanted to ignore Pride.
----------
Sloth smiled as she saw a young woman transmuting doors into the walls of the base. "Excuse me, miss" she said, walking over to the young lady. "But are you looking for someone?"

"I don't understand why you worry about Greed his powers." Lust said after a small thoughtful moment of silence. "After all if he grew so soft shouldn't he be easy to contaim by just holding the right persons in between?" She suggested. "Giving he made himself weak and vulnerable by going soft." She said as she looked at Martel with a meaningful smirk.

"I never said I was worried about his powers. In fact, he made a serious mistake by revealing them to our master. That's all I can say right now, but soon you will understand what I mean," Pride answered her.
Walking to the end of the room, he took a seat at his desk and rested his eyes on the chimera. He took a sip of his wine, then put his elbows on the desk and folded his hands in front of him. That girl was beginning to try his patience. He hoped that Sloth would return with an alchemist soon.

Martel had finally had enough. These bastards had already taken her captive and were planning to experiment on her even more than they already had. Now they were talking about Greed this way. Without warning she got to her feet and growled dangerously at Pride and Lust. "Shut up about him, you goddamned menipulative bastards" she hissed at them, sounding ready to kill them at any moment.

Haley looked at Sloth questioningly, "Yeah, I'm looking for a kid named Edward Elric. Is he here?" She asked the woman standing in front of her hoping Sloth could tell her where this FullMetal Alchemist was.

Sloth shook her head. "Unfortunately, I believe the Fullmetal Alchemist is away from Central at the moment" Sloth said with mock sympathy. "However, I must ask a favor of you, miss...." She paused there, allowing for Haley to introduce herself.

Haley was disappointed when she heard that she came all this way to see Elric and yet he wasn't there. She then heard the word "favor." She turned away from Sloth, "Sorry, but I am not one of your dogs. she said with irritation. Though part of her was curious as to what this favor was.
"I am Haley...Haley Moeller...not a State Alchemist." She said to be polite.

"There is a woman in the Fuhrer's custody at the moment. She is currently in the beginning stages of a pregnancy that is taking quite a toll on the mother" Sloth explained in a lie. "The Fuhrer gave me the assignment to have a skilled alchemist transmute the embryos in order to bring them through gestation quicker". She paused, waiting to see how Haley would respond. Hopefully, her response would be positive, seeing as this young woman was the first person who seemed to have the skill for this job.

Haley's heart began to soften when she heard the story. She turned back to Sloth, "And it has nothing to do with the military? She asked. She waited a moment and said, "Ok, I will help...but then you will tell me where Ed is, alright?" That was her bottom line.
