[The broadcast is audio only, and the voice that comes across is quiet and more than a little bit ragged. But he speaks evenly.]

Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

These past days have been chaotic, and as such it has been easy to lose track of time; however, it must be remembered that in spite of everything that has happened we have received no indication that the jump will not go forward as scheduled. It will occur in five days. Please bear this impending deadline in mind; there will be more reminders as we approach the event, but be sure that you are prepared.

I manage a service, in which I recommend that all individuals on board to take part. It is a "buddy system," in which you are assigned someone to check to ensure that you have made it safely to the jump. For more details, please inquire here.

Additionally, if any are interested in joining the security force, please speak with me; I should be glad to direct you the right way.

[A slight pause. He's searching frantically for distraction, but this isn't enough - so he adds more.]

What languages does everyone speak? I should like to find a conversational partner; my skills are becoming rusty.

[And:]

I should also like someone with whom I might be able to discuss certain aspects of physics.

[And then another pause, and then quietly:]

Quite.

...That's not the intent behind it.

[stimulations]

Intent doesn't always control outcome.

[jurisimpudent]

Well, regardless, the outcome isn't precisely stimulating for me.

[stimulations]

That's a shame.

[jurisimpudent]

Indeed. Hence the language.

[stimulations]

Which may turn out to be a complete dead end, if you can't find a way past the nanites.

[jurisimpudent]

I'll find a way.

[stimulations]

You'd do better conferring with some of the more technologically minded persons we have on board, I'd think. Or, as I said, simply finding another activity.

[jurisimpudent]

I think I shall persist in my endeavor. I'm not one for surrendering.

[stimulations]

[He actually laughs.]

No, you can certainly say that again.

[jurisimpudent]

...Hrmph. In any case. Do you at least comprehend why I like languages?

[stimulations]

There wasn't a point where I didn't comprehend it.
