[His typical spiel is quite cursory.]

My name is Miles Edgeworth. I'm a member of the security team. All new arrivals, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have either questions regarding security or a desire to volunteer; we are always looking for new recruits. Similarly, if you run into any troubles or find yourself in distress of any sort, kindly inform us.

[And, moving onto the meat of this post:]

While I am not normally one to give any sort of credence to claims of psychic phenomena and the like without significant proof of the same, the past month quite definitively proved that some degree of...mental connection is possible on-board this ship. And given the proliferation of reports of experiencing flashes of memory from an unknown source in the past day, it seems that another sort of mental connection may well have been established. Moreover, it sounds as though several people have perhaps seen different things.

Here is my request for you all. Please use this broadcast to compare and contrast what you did see. Anyone who seems to have experienced memories of the same individuals, speak forth on the matter. If we spread information as widely as possible, the likelihood of our defeating whatever threat or development that might be looming on the horizon is considerably heightened.

I shall begin. The situation I saw in this memory occurred, apparently, after Captain Gallagher went mad, as we have seen attested in data recovered in the past. The man whose memory I received was lost in the depths of the ship. He encountered a woman named Matine, an individual he trusted; he found her in a state of madness herself. The memory concluded with her murdering him.

[A slight, grim pause.]

Please contribute what you witnessed.

I saw it from Matine's point of view. Let me-

[ Carolyn will just replay what she told Nathan because I'm lazy then it at least stays close to one version of the story. ]

"I was trying to get to the gardens. It was dark; I think I got lost, but I was tired. I heard a whisper -- "Ilona" and "Matine". When I turned around, I saw my mother in the hallways and followed her. Then I saw the man -- Schue, I said, but his features were all... wrong. I called him "one of them" and pulled away from his grip on my arm.

I said the things picked the wrong crew and that Schue would want me to do it, I was convinced he was going to eat me, I think, if I didn't shoot him. Four shots, right in the mouth, which was too wide and gaping. He probably would've eaten me- her.

I thought he was going to hurt my mother. And she was right there, in a doorway, and I dropped the gun and I followed her."

Fuck, Edgeworth, I almost miss it when it was just things trying to kill us all the time.

[His voice is a bit absent as he mulls that over.]

I must disagree. Respectfully. This...is enormously valuable information.

This Matine, then, was clearly mad at the time of this incident.

I believe we saw the same thing, Mr. Edgeworth. It seems to be the alternate perspective to what Ms. Fry has just described.

[jurisimpudent]

Quite so. Did you see anything beyond what I described (e.g., anything elaborating before or after)?

[handelaar]

You left out the door.

[jurisimpudent]

So I take it, then, that you also witnessed this?

[inebriety]

I thought there was the implication that they were flesh eating zombies of some sort.

[jurisimpudent]

That seems to be caused by some sort of madness/neurological damage. Did you see it from Matine's perspective, then?

[walksonrooftops]

VIP. That's what one of them said. [There's a pause and a shuffle that's most likely the swish of his tail.]

Very important prisoner? Is that what it means?

voice

[jurisimpudent]

Very important...person, usually. Which one of them said that?

[lostkings]

Gonna have to second that you forgot the door. [ yup. ] Part seemed almost as weird as all the rest of it.

[jurisimpudent]

[With a bit of a frown:]

I omitted it; I didn't forget it. I did not see it as being so very...vital. The man was dying, after all.

[cargojet]

Tell me about the door.

[ Because he didn't have this memory and even he can tell it's a big deal. ]

voice;

[handelaar]

He doesn't think it is.

[Hmph.]

[ryuuzaki]

Mr. Edgeworth, would you be willing to narrate what you saw in more detail? From beginning to end. Treat it like a deposition.

Alternately, if someone else who saw the same thing has offered that kind of narration, can you corroborate it?

audio.

[avengeful]

I saw that, too.

That Matine girl freaked — the guy was trying to calm her down, but...

[Yeah, it didn't work out.]

audio.

[jurisimpudent]

...Yes. It was very - unpleasant to witness.

[unparental]

I was... a really intensely dude kind of guy, working out and talking about a prisoner I saw to a friend of mine.

[ this fucking ship for real. ]

No madness or murder, at least.

voice »

[jurisimpudent]

Forgive me, but just so I am clear - "intensely dude"? Does that mean that he was very...casual, or...?

hope i'm actioning you because come on they hang out while working all the time (tell me no)

[doggedly]

[Somewhere--in the security offices, probably, because Miles "Workaholic" Edgeworth would be nowhere else but in the office--Sirius is slumped in a chair with his face on a table.

He's very still--dead or sleeping, either way not properly keeping watch over the Tranquility--but hark, a sign of life as he sighs.]

I'm tired of reading all of this and listening to things that don't make sense. [That stands alone for a moment, and then he turns his head, cheek pressed to the tabletop, and points over at Edgeworth.] Oi. I'm electing you my encyclopedia. Tell me when you hear you heard if anyone's got any theories as to how we're getting all of this in the first place if everyone from the memories are dead, because that's what I want to start with knowing.

oh my god yes all the freaking time

[jurisimpudent]

[Edgeworth just raises his eyebrows, not looking over at Sirius as he taps away on his communicator - but it's clear that he was listening to what Sirius was saying, and that he's reacting to it, by the way that his frown (etched onto his face by dealing with people he likes less) softens into a more neutral expression.]

I shouldn't like to even raise that line of conversation. We'll start getting a whole lot of mystical mumbo-jumbo, I should think.

[theswordofthejedi]

I haven't had any memories that aren't mine this month but I'm interested in volunteering for security, if you still have some openings.

voice

[jurisimpudent]

Indeed so, ma'am. May I have your name?

Text - oh boy it'll only get worse

[godofthemachine]

But was this Matine truly mad as you say, or was the individual simply mad himself?

Perhaps the memory was not a memory, but an illusion.

Text - hooray :>

[jurisimpudent]

I rather think the odds are that the one committing the murder, rather than the one murdered, was the insane one.
