Among us transports, how many used to be involved in their world's justice system? As police, lawyers, detectives, judges, [ heroes ] and the like. Nobody's required to answer, of course, but I'd like to know. Curiosity, if you will.

What goal, he's wondered so much for so long lately, but he found an answer at home and there's no reason to let go of it now. ]

I think it's certainly possible, especially in the absence of a particularly trustworthy system already in place.

[ And now we get at his motivating reason for asking. ]

So, it's possible that they brought individuals learned in the law here to fix the justice system of this place? Is that what you're saying?

Not at all. What I meant is that transports would likely prefer fellow transports to represent them in the event they go to court.

You're speaking of defense attorneys.

I'm thinking of the whole system. But you're right that defense attorneys would prove more immediately necessary for the kind of situation I'm referring to.

For defense attorneys to be of any use at all, we would first need an actual court, and laws in place to regulate its activities.

Exactly. Things that are indispensable to any community, as long as they operate justly.

As far as I am aware, Exsilium does not even have the basic foundations required for the judicial system to function. We would almost be starting from scratch if we were to implement one.

I recognize that it would be no small effort, but time is something we don't seem to lack, whether we like it or not.

Can you really be so certain of that?

[ If text can be dry, this reply is. ]

Can we really be certain of anything about this place?

Exactly. So we might not have as much time as you seem to think we do.

Be that as it may, I can't say I care for the idea of leaving the people here to anarchy and vigilanteism in the meantime.

I'm agreeing with you. What I was saying is that we might not have much time left before a tragedy occurs, and we could be left with no system in place to properly address it. Thus we must move quickly.

That's what you were saying. My apologies, then. I agree with your assessment - especially in a place as volatile as this.

I was just acknowledging it would be difficult, that's all. That does not mean I would procrastinate such a task.

I wouldn't accuse you of such a thing, of course. Still, it's good to hear.

I would want to ensure that it is run as efficiently as possible. Do you have experience within the judicial system, yourself?

I'm afraid not at all.

Unfortunate. I could use more people who had. Your name?

I know there was another prosecutor here, who I spoke to when I first arrived. I'm afraid I didn't get her name, but I'm sure if you ask for her it wouldn't prove too difficult to find her. Barnaby Brooks Jr. And yours?

Miles Edgeworth. If this woman you met has blue hair and carries a whip, then we are already well-acquainted. Her name is Franziska von Karma, and she is my mentor's daughter.

A pleasure, Mr. Edgeworth.

[ SHE CARRIES A WHAT oh my god it's a good thing this is text ]

Yes, that would be her. In that case, it may be easier for you to organize something since you'll have the help of someone you know well.

Indeed. Yet, we are only two people. It would be useful to have more.

So it would. I'll send anyone who may be able to help your way, should I find any.
