Edward & Alphonse, and Edward and Winry’s adopted son Zach, pursue escaped convict Melvin Voyager, but he flees. The three later learn Melvin escaped with six months remaining of his five-year sentence. Among his belongings, they find a cut newspaper page with a piece cut off, and comparing with an intact copy of the same page, they find the missing piece is a photo of Julia Crichton, who was arrested for illegally entering the remote Table City, set in the border between Amestris and Creta.
