[on Castiel's suggestion, Kratos broadcasts the following message:]

To anyone who may be listening, this is Kratos Aurion. A few others and I have managed to find a database containing the coordinates for all the worlds from which Landel has drawn us, and it is our intention to record those coordinates that may be useful to any of us. If you could respond with your name and the name of your world, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Would the name of a country be sufficient? I don't know of an actual name for our world.

[forsworn]

If that's all you know, it's fine. I'll see what I can do.

[envy_the_sinners]

Amestris is the largest nation. Two current patients are Amestrian.

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

[The voice that answers next is a different one, younger, male, maybe teenage? Possibly even familiar to Scar.]

He's looking now. If we find it, do you have anything you can write with? We'll write it down, too, but... just in case...

[envy_the_sinners]

[It takes Scar a moment, but he does recognize the voice of Lloyd, a friend of the Elrics'.]

Yes. I can write it down.

[redcladidealist]

[It's a minute or two before Lloyd responds again. Enough time that Kratos managed to run the search and narrow down the world.]

Okay, he thinks he found it. Copy these numbers down.

[He rattles off a string of numbers, slowly, so that Scar will have time to write them all.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar scribbles down the numbers as Lloyd recites them.]

Thank you.

[redcladidealist]

No problem.

[rebonding]

I don't know if my world really has a name, but Republic City is the biggest landmark. And I'm from the Southern Water Tribe.

[redcladidealist]

[It's a different voice that responds to Korra.]

Republic City... Southern Water Tribe... Got it. That's probably enough for us to find it. I'll get back to you in a minute. You got something to write with?

[rebonding]

We don't... Is it short enough to memorize? Or do you think you write it down for us?

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

I don't know. I think I'd have a pretty hard time memorizing it, but I guess it depends on your memory. We'll write it down anyway, but this is kind of just in case.

[Just in case something happens to them.

He repeats the numbers Kratos just gave to him, a string somewhere around fifteen numbers long. Definitely not the easiest thing to remember.]

[rebonding]

[Korra's muttering the code under her breath, but... yeah, it's unlikely she's going to remember it. She's thankful that the kid's going to write it down for her.

That's when Tsubaki takes out one of her knives.]

Good thinking, Tsubaki! [Her voice is quiet in the background before she speaks to Lloyd again.] Thanks, Lloyd.

[redcladidealist]

[here.]

No problem. What's your name, so I know who to give it to tomorrow?

[rebonding]

I'm Korra. But... It looks like my roommate found a way to write it down after all!

Do you have an "Earth" in there, too? It's got a place called Death City in it.

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

[Lloyd's wince is almost audible when he calls Korra back.]

Earth? Hang on... There's a whole ton of Earths in this list. Let me see if that's enough to find your friend's Earth.

[A half minute, maybe a minute passes, filled with a soft murmur in the radio's background while Lloyd consults with Kratos. Apparently this time Lloyd didn't turn the radio off. Then he comes back, voice filled with success and relief.]

That wasn't as bad as I thought. I guess there's only one Earth with a Death City. Here's the coordinates your friend will need.

[He'll say them slowly, so that Korra and her roommate can write them down.]

1/2 sorry I'm feeling silly

[rebonding]

[Anticipaaatttiiooonnn-]

[rebonding]

Whew! Thanks, Lloyd!

[Not that she was nervous or anything. That half a minute or so felt like forever.]

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

Mr. Kratos! You did it!

My world is called Destiny Islands. I have a friend with me, Link, so I'll tell you his too.

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

Sora! It's Lloyd! Did you make it past that trap?

Kratos is searching, but I told him the name of your world. I'll let you know if he finds anything. You got anything you can write the numbers down with?

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

Hey, Lloyd! We made it past, thanks for all the warnings. We're in a supply closet now.

Link doesn't know his world's name, but look for either Hyrule or Ordon. And... uhh, let me see...

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

I think I know which closet you're in. If you take a right down the hall outside, then a left, then a left, the first door is the room we're in.

[He doesn't know if Sora wants to join him, but he can offer that much information.

Speaking of information...]

Oh, hey, Kratos found your world. You ready for the coordinates now? [He'll rattle them off as soon as Sora says he's ready.] He'll work on your friend's world next.

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

Okay! We're gonna look around here a little and then we'll start heading that way.

And we're ready for the coordinates! Go ahead.

[Lloyd rattles them off soon after, and:]

Thanks, Lloyd!

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd calls back a minute later, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.]

Sora, there's two Hyrules. Is Ordon part of the same world? Or is it separate?

[Hey, considering there's two worlds where he's from, it's a legitimate question.]

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

It's the same world!

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

Okay, that got it down to one world. Here's the coordinates.

[Another string of numbers, repeated slowly so Sora can write them down.]

Is that all the worlds you need coordinates for?

[lighthearted]

[There's a pause as the numbers are written down, but then:]

No, that's all we needed! Thanks, Lloyd. We'll be heading your way soon!

[nobleman]

[From M44.]

Hello, Kratos, it's Guy. I have a couple of worlds for you to look for, if you're still available to do that.

The first one is called Auldrant.

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

Guy! Hey, it's Lloyd. I'm using the radio while Kratos does the searches.

[Lloyd's voice gets muffled for a moment, as though he lowered it while he calls out to someone.]

Hey, Kratos, Guy's looking for a world called Auldrant.

[Then he's back.]

What's the other world?

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

We found Auldrant already. You got lucky, Guy. There was only one world with that name. Here's the coordinates. You got something to write with?

[If there's a yes, he'll recite the coordinates Kratos pulled up on the computer screen.]

[nobleman]

[From here.]

Yeah, we have something. Go ahead!

[And then after the coordinates have been given...]

The other world is Earth, but if you need more than that, the year is SD 366. Can you try searching for that?

[redcladidealist]

[From here.]

[The wait this time is a little bit longer, but not by all that much.]

It's a good thing you gave me that date. There's a lot of different Earths. Anyway, here's the coordinates. Any other worlds?
