To all of you from post-1776 America, happy Fourth of July. [Thoughtful pause.] Well, I suppose it's the fourth of July for everyone else too... I hope you're all having a nice day.
Um. [A throat-clearing, a clanking of metal.] If anyone is interested in current events from - October 9, 2006... I found a newspaper.
[Long pause.] I'm not the only one - seeing things, am I? I thought I was just hallucinating, but the newspaper seems pretty real...

Captain - Might I have a word with you?
Filtered to Winry || Unhackable
Winry, do you have a minute?

What about your world, Professor? What is your country like?

Fonstones are large tablets on which the Score, the planet's future is documented. The Holy Order of Lorelei, which rules over Daath, is dedicated to reading the Score, upholding it and keeping peace between the two countries. However, the people of Auldrant live their lives according to the Score's predictions. If the Score ultimately predicts war, that is what will happen and the Order or Lorelei will do nothing to stop it.

[She pauses for a moment.]
Though I've been told that roughly twenty years in the future, the people of Auldrant have learned to reject the Score and live their lives freely.
[Voice]
On a science side of things, though... the future of your planet is encoded in these particles? But not deterministically so?

... People have willingly committed murders because the Score predicted they would do so.
[Voice]
Thanks, Professor. This has given me a lot to think about.

[Voice]
Then... would you rather stay here?
[Voice]
[Though, not for the reason Don would expect. She wants to stay because when she returns to her home, she'll be dead.]
[Voice]
[Yeah, that reason sure knocked him for a loop the first time he heard it.]
