[Al shifts, just a little uncomfortable, but breathes in.]
It's... a long story. ... we would have both joined, but... well, when I was younger...
[Again, that uncomfortable shift.]
We had... there was an accident. With alchemy. The same accident that lost my brother's arm and leg. We were only little kids, but I was... worse off than he was. To get ourselves back to normal, we wanted to find something called the Philosopher's Stone. It lets you bypass some of the normal laws of alchemy, and make a lot out of very little.
The position in the military gave us both the funds to travel and search, and the clearance to get to classified information we'd never find otherwise. To find that, and to fix our bodies.
