My name is Miles Edgeworth. I am a prosecutor for the city of Los Angeles. I tell you this not only to inform you of my background but also to ensure that those who will suffer my wrath for this kidnapping are aware of precisely how fearsome it will be. Legally speaking.

First: I demand to speak with the so-called captain of this so-called ship.

Second: I demand to see a list of all rules and regulations aboard this ship.

Third: I demand to know precisely what attempts have been made to contact the outside authorities. Kindly provide me with an accounting of attempts made either by you or by others.

Fourth: I - [And here, at least, Miles has the good grace to pause, because maybe "demand" is just a bit too pushy.] Would like to know if anyone else here has a legal, criminal, or governmental background. I heard something about a volunteer security force - a preposterous notion, admittedly, but better than nothing - and I would like to hear from those on it, but I would also like to hear from any who have been abducted to this place who served in some official position at home.

Yeah, guess that community college criminal justice degree is paying off. [so very dry]

Imagine how it'll be handled. First, you have the network which is hackable, and therefore unsafe.

Then, you have people show up in organized groups, concentrating people in large areas that will need to be secured against attack or interference -- some of which may come from the ship itself. We've had changing hallways, crazy gas, demons, and now Hotspur's death.

Do you really think you'll get a representative turn out?

[Stunned silence lingers for a time.]

Wow.
