Incident Report CONFIDENTIAL
Event: 2891A
Analysist: Sir Nighteye
Time: September 19th, 2178, 12:05 pm
Type: Overdose
Individuals Involved: Edward Elric, Jo Chapmen
Heroes assisting: Sir Nighteye, Eraserhead
Heroes in training involved: Lemillion, Suneater, Nejire Chan
Description: Edward Elric was found overdosing on a rooftop by Eraserhead at 12:05. Eraserhead was on patrol when he noticed the young boy convulsing on the rooftop. Eraserhead attempted to transport the boy to hospital care but was stopped by Edward’s social worker, Jo Chapmen, who claimed the boy needed to come back inside. When Eraserhead explained the situation, she reiterated her previous statement. Eraserhead called for backup and took the boy to the nearest hospital. Sir Nighteye and the three heroes in training arrived at 12:13 where Jo Chapmen had thrown the house Edward and several other displaced children live into ruins. Whether or not the house was already in this condition before Eraserhead left with Edward is unknown.
The heroes quickly swept the building and found several stores of dangerous untested quirk suppressants. It is currently believed these are what caused Edward to overdose. Several other children were found sick, permanently quirkless, and in very extreme cases dead. (A list of all children are filed below)
Children Affected:
Olivier Armstrong- Recently orphaned her family was murdered while she was at school only a year ago. She was found with a broken arm but other than phycological damage she has no other permanent side effects. [Written under this in red pen is ‘potential ally?’ Next to this in black pen and considerably neater handwriting is, ‘Ed maybe stop looking for potential friends in old case files,’]
Alphonse Elric: Younger brother of Edward Elric. Rendered completely quirkless by the drug. He has massive nerve damage and severe chronic pain. [In black pen under this is ‘prefers Al,’]
Nannette Elric: Younger sister of the previously mentioned brothers. The three of them were orphaned on their fifth birthday in a tragic accident involving the villain Plague Doctor. She has been rendered completely quirkless. She is missing her right eye and three of the fingers on her left hand. [In black under this is ‘prefers Nina’]
These three names are circled with red pen.
Questioning Transcript:
Alphonse Elric: What exactly is the problem?
Naomasa Tsukauchi: We just have a few questions about your old group home.
Alphonse Elric: [silence for five seconds] Okay.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Great I promise this will be quick. How long were you in Ms. Chapmen’s care?
Alphonse Elric: Uhhh oh man. The three of this had been there as long as we could remember but I don’t think we were gonna be there much longer.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Why is that?
Alphonse Elric: Oh a few kids were telling us that we had been sold to someone.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Sold?
Alphonse Elric: Oh, I just mean that sometimes smart quirkless kids get sold I don’t really know why or what for but that’s kinda what the point of the group home was for.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Do you know who kids were sold to?
Alphonse Elric: No, they don’t tell you but there were plenty of rumors I didn’t really pay attention to that though.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Alright well you’ve been a big help thank you for your cooperation. [Tsukauchi stands up to leave]
Alphonse Elric: Wait!
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Yes?
Alphonse Elric: Brother, I haven’t seen him since the raid is, he. Is he alright?
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Your brother will be fine Alphonse
Alphonse Elric: Call me Al. And if you talk to my siblings call Edward Ed and Nannette Nina. Ed doesn’t mind his full name he just prefers Ed and Nina hates to be called her full name.
Naomasa Tsukauchi: Thank you, Al, I will keep that in mind.

Subject: That Twelve-year-old kid we saved
Body: Sir please take a look at the attached documents. The kid we saved, Edward Elric, he’s a genius. Despite the trauma and clear anxiety being questioned he managed to give us a lead to where the kids were being trafficked with only intuition and what he already knew. Not to mention he gave us a plan to save the kids that is almost full proof.
Can we take on another intern?
-Did you hear about the guys who stole a calendar?

Subject: Re: That Twelve-year-old kid we saved
Body: Have you lost your mind? Yes, this is a great lead and a truly inspired plan and deduction but a traumatized twelve-year-old is not who we should be outsourcing to. I will gladly go and talk to him myself if he desires but he needs therapy not hero work.
-No, what?

Subject: Re: Re: That Twelve-year-old kid we saved
Body: Sir if I may be so bold, we are critically understaffed and Elric himself asked to intern. We can’t refuse someone brilliant while in these dire straits. Ed is reckless, impulsive, and traumatized but he is useful, and we need someone like him.
-They each got six months.
