Emilia was reading some research notes on her mobile laboratory, when the train was shaken by a violent explosion coming from the front cars and almost fell from the chair she was sitting in, thankfully all of her materials were correctly stored thus the damage was minimal and easily repairable with a basic application of elementary alchemy.

[color=crimson][i]"I doubt a mechanical failure would cause such an explosion."[/i][/color] Emilia thought, while exiting the laboratory car in time to see some shadowy figures boarding the stopped train [color=crimson][i]"Rebels, or just train thieves? It doesn't matter anyway."[/i][/color] She said while drawing a pistol and combat knife, which were her preferred method of self defense, since her alchemy wasn't suited for combat.

Once she arrived at the car were the explosion happened, Emilia noticed the characteristic light of a transmutation and concluded that this was where some, or all, of the other State Alchemists were. She slid the door open carefully while using the side of the car as cover, before shouting [color=crimson]"For the crimes of terrorism and attacking State Alchemists, I, Colonel Emilia B. Krowitz, am ordering you to surrender immediately. Non compliance to this order will result in your summary execution."[/color] With that said, Emilia stood by the door side, with her weapons on the ready, waiting for the terrorists next action.
