[He could use the network for something deeply profound and insightful, something that will shed insight on their current situation and give hope about the future. ...nah.]

I have five cards, one joker and four aces with different suits, facedown on a table. They are arranged according to the following conditions:

1) The club is to the immediate right of the heart.
2) Neither the diamond nor the joker is next to the spade.
3) Neither the joker nor the diamond is next to the club.
4) Neither the diamond nor the spade is next to the heart.

Can you find the joker?

[Oh boy, puzzles. Brennunburg is chock full of tedious puzzles. Of course he usually makes the servants solve them to get around but let's see how sharp his old mind still is.]

Joker, heart, club, spade, diamond. Is this correct?

[Now all they need is a LeChuck and they could form a support network.]

I'm afraid not. Would you like a hint?

And I believe we have not met before, though I could be mistaken about this.

[ A puzzle! Chase can't hide her excitement. She immediately perks up. ]

Let me think. Hang on....

[ after a few seconds of working it out on her brain, she finally asks: ]

Is the joker second to the left?

[even as a human, he still has a robot's thought patterns. logic puzzles are somehow soothing.]

[whatever those names meant]

[NO PUBLICLY HUMILIATED ALL OVER THE NETWORK. ~~Because the mun COMPLETELY MISSED STEP TWO. OH GOD.~~]

Hmm. It seems I misread clues in the first place. The text on these devices is unfortunately hard on my eyes.

I don't believe we have. I am Alexander.

[Oh wow, hello small child.]

Correct. Well done. You like puzzles, I take it?

I like when I find smart people on the ship.

I'm Chase.

Correct. Now if only the puzzle we're in was forthcoming with its answers.

You're not the first to say that. My acquaintance prefers to not use these devices if she can help it. [A bit of a white lie, but Claire won't mind, right?

I'm Clive. It's a pleasure to meet you, though I wish the circumstances were different.

Hello Chase. I'm Clive. It's very nice to meet you. You remind me of someone I once knew.

[eventually.]

[ The accent! There's a lot of those types on this ship. ]

A good someone? Whom, if I might ask?

I know this is a rather random question, you wouldn't by any chance know a Professor Hershel Layton, would you?

[There's a noticeable pause between texts here as Heatwave wracks his flimsy human memory.]

[A bit of an amused noise. Not quite a laugh or a chuckle, but a positive noise.] Yes, it's a very good someone. His name was Luke. He was the apprentice to a... [Crap. Uh.] ...friend of mine.

[There is a noticeably hasty response.] Oh, thank you, but you don't have to trouble yourself. What you wrote just sounded like the sort of thing he would say. I have no reason to believe he would be on this ship.

Diamond, joker, heart, club, spade... that would make the joker the second card from the left.

Luke.. And is this Luke aboard this ship? [ Because if there's another child running around with hyper intelligence, let her at him! ]

Of course I could!

What's the point of this?

Is that the best you can do? Puzzles? Now?

I haven't seen him. I doubt he's on board. Likely a good thing.

May I ask why?

[ She's curious! ]

Right you are. Have you learned anything new since when last we spoke?

Well, then. Will you?
