001 | day after zombies

[skyentific]

[A slightly pale and more-than-slightly displeased Ema greets the screen. It looks like she may have had one or two or three narrow escapes from undead.]

This is a really nice way to bring us in here... Oh, it's on already--? [she clears her throat and launches in with barely a preamable.]

I'm Detective Ema Skye... I have a question. So we've pretty much taken care of those... zombie-things now, right? [she ticks off on her fingers:] Also, we heard that animals were the disease vectors, and that something called "holy magic" [she wrinkles her nose at that] can cure them.

That's all well and good...But has anyone done a real forensic investigation? We could trace this back to the source, or at least figure out how it happened... [Her displeasure seems to melt away rather quickly.] It's all part of the power of science!

... That should never have happened.

[ What is wrong with the judicial system in these alternate realities? Is he really supposed to believe that stories such as Skye's and Fey's are to be his future? ]

Of course, you're right, it shouldn't have... But Gant was clever. Not clever enough in the end, but clever enough to put everyone on the wrong track to start with.

So, what did your sister have to do with it, then?

[skyentific]

She... [Ema hesitates. Still not a pleasant topic.] He blackmailed her to force her to go along with him. To move the body, and then to take the fall when it happened...

The Chief Prosecutor did all that?

[ What has happened to the integrity of the Prosecutor's Office... ]

It's hard to believe, I know. But... s-she had no choice - or she felt that way, anyway.

[bratworth]

... I see. She still went to prison for her crimes?

[skyentific]

... Yes.

[Unfortunately. Though it's fair, she supposes. Sigh. This isn't the first conversation she wanted to have with Mr. Edgeworth...]

[ Good to hear that the system is still working in some capacity, but he has just enough social graces to refrain from commenting upon that allowed. ]

I see. [ A beat. ] So was she your inspiration to become a detective?

[skyentific]

S-Sort of. I didn't actually -- well, I've always loved forensic science! That's all. I'm sure she's part of what that's true, but... Well, why did you want to become a prosecutor? Lots of reasons, right?

[bratworth]

Not particularly, but I wasn't talking about myself.

[ No good things have come from travelling down this conversational path, he's quickly learning. ]

[skyentific]

Right. Well, I for one appreciate that you're not always talking about yourself, unlike some!

[bratworth]

[ Well. What is he supposed to say to that. ]

... Indeed. I prefer to discuss more interesting topics.

[skyentific]

I-Interesting? No, you're interesting! It's just that prosecutors should be, well, you know. Cool.
