[ here, have a MySpace style shot of Wichita walking own the hall ( actually it's probably more Blair Witch than MySpace, but it's way less creepy than BW. so. ), her voice quiet over a low hum of.. what sounds like wheels, maybe, or just little gears turning. it's weird, basically. ]

Okay, two things. One- R2D2 is on the ship. Yes, that announcement is worth it's own network post because, well, it is. Because two-

[ the camera is flipped around with a touch on the screen, and then just down the hall, maybe fifteen feet away, is R2D2, leading about a dozen Tranquility Roombas, in two lines, down the hallway. Wichita may or may not have been found them on her way out of the bar, and continued following them for about fifteen minutes before she turned on her camera ]

He started with a following of eight, but every time he passes a room that's being cleaned by a bot, it just stops what it's doing and joins the line.

Innocent playtime? Very possible.

Though I must admit that my imagination has concocted something most! sinister. For what they could be planning.

[ someone sounds a tiny bit like Holmes there, for those last few words, because maybe she misses him a lot and this is how she spends her time now okay. detective-ing. ]

-- And before anybody gets all huffy, don't worry, I'm really only recording this because it's kinda cute. They're like.. ducklings, almost. But what are they up to?

[ amuuuused. ]

And what of it? Do you think he is malicious?

[ back to her Holmes voice ]

We have no way of really knowing, do we? Not without asking.

We'll have to question him.

Politely! Be polite to him!

Polite? I've never heard that word before. Hm. Wonder what it means.

You should probably come talk to him with me, in case I get it all wrong! What if I offend him?

Madam, I cannot talk to R2-D2.

Why!

I - because - it's - that's -

Fine! Fine, I'll come with you to talk to him!

[ EHEHEH GOOD ]

We are currently on the tenth passenger floor. Just went past the pool, so. I guess.. We might be headed to the lift? I can't tell.

I'll be there in a few minutes.

[ she just give him a quick 'kay' before flicking off her comm for now, just so she can run up a little bit closer without talking to people at the same time and freaking everybody out. they're only a third of the way down the hall, so hopefully Edgeworth will get there before they make it to the lift. since. she has no idea if they'll go up or down or what. really? she's hoping for secret passageways or something. like the Roombas have little trap doors they travel in. WHO KNOWS. either way, she keeps an equal distance behind them the whole time, eyes peeled for anyone else coming down the hallway ]

[And Edgeworth is...Well, he's relatively prompt, even though he does take a moment to steady himself after emerging from the elevator. After that moment, though, he makes his way over to Wichita, a serious frown fixed on his face.]

Any change in status?

[ his very serious face makes her grin a little wider, and she shakes her head, peeking around the corner where the line of Roombas has just turned ]

Nope. They're hardly even chatty anymore, not unless they stop at a door and wait for another bot to join them. It's nuts.

That's so strange.

[He frowns contemplatively.]

And they're not picking up anything, or...

Nope, not since they started lining up.

[ but, now they're moving faster, so- ]

Oh! C'mon.

[ just grabbing his sleeve as she slinks around the corner too, pretending to try and tread quietly as she starts after them and tries to Edgeworth along, even though it probably doesn't even matter how quiet she is or isn't. ]

[And he lets himself be tugged. He points out, though, at her tip-toeing - ]

You know they probably weren't built with audio-receiving functions, right...
