[itsalright]

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you're all okay... [The young man on the feed is a very worried looking Yuuichi. Though, you can't see much more than his face for some reason...]

It's terrible what's been happening lately... but everything is going to be taken care of soon, right? Hopefully we'll be able to put this behind us....

And if anyone's out of a place to stay, my home isn't too wrecked.. nothing more than a few broken windows, luckily. So you're free to stay with Taiyou-kun and I if you want! Ah.. after things settle down, of course.

[He then moves his communicator back a bit, so everyone can see the sling his left arm was in.]

And Keroro-san.... I won't be able to cook for a few weeks.. I'm sorry! I can still take orders and deliver food, but at the moment, my left arm is completely out of commission... Ahhh... I'm so sorry for inconveniencing you...

[Today's temperatures are 92/76 F (33/24 C). Clear skies and gusty! The sun has decided to give you all a slight reprieve today. Keep the short skirts out, ladies. It won't last forever.]

[Edgeworth has some advice to non-combatants. Feel free to tell him the business and that he doesn't run your lives.]

[Just a reminder that Activity Check is coming! Make sure you have all your proofs!]

Yo, Death City, how's everyone doin'? [ Duo's smiling face comes across the network, his braid wrapped up in a bun at the back of his head, a small smear of what is probably motor grease across his cheek. He seems to be outside working on his motorcycle, dressed in what appears to be a black tank top and cut off shorts to try and beat the heat. It's clearly not working, but this is what he gets for being a colony kid used to controlled environments. ] 

Just a reminder - if anything of yours or you got smashed up - give all of us at Black Mesa a call. We make house calls or we can fix your stuff in office, and I know my way around just about everything. We also offer security systems, if you wanna be able to track down whoever smashed your stuff up, if it happens again. 

[ Duo laughs a little, lightly. ] All I can say is, those guys were real lucky Shinigami's been retired for a few years now or I would've been a lot less tolerant of all this rampaging bullshit. At least it gives me an excuse to fix my bike up though, right? 

[ Private to Black Mesa ]

Hey guys, gals and mechanicals - can you all check in and tell me how you're doing? If you're injured take the time you need to recover, I don't wanna be picking people up off the floor at their jobs, you know? 

Prepare for an influx, though, I get the feeling we'll be making the big bucks, in the next few weeks.

[prosecutory]

[The voice that speaks is a bit weak; it is a voice that would normally be a clear baritone but is, instead, hoarse with exhaustion. Edgeworth struggles to make himself heard, and his efforts pay off.]

Hmph, mounting a riot while many of us were dispatched on missions? I can't say it was not a calculated move. The local thugs are using their brains in tandem with their brawn for once.

...In any case. [He sighs wearily.] Allow me to offer a piece of advice as one who has called Death City home for nine months: learn how to defend yourself. Shibusen has given you a choice: to either live as a simple civilian until you return to your real home, or to take up arms, so to speak, and fight. Regardless of what you choose, however, danger threatens us both outside and inside the city walls. Our enemies - anti-Shibusen forces, kishin eggs and witches alike - are not picky with their targets.

Learning self-defense is not equivalent to becoming a soldier. I'm not making your choice for you; I am simply offering a suggestion, a precaution if you will, if you wish to stay alive when the war comes knocking at your door, whether you expected it or not.

...

Should you have any business with the Agency, your concerns are best directed to me for now. [Edgeworth, you dolt, you're also in the hospital. So what if you're in better shape than Near? STOP IT.]

[Filtered to the Agency]

I should return to work in 3 days. Those of you who stayed in Death City are not excused from reporting regarding yesterday's events. [Before you think Edgeworth is a mean slave driver, note that he didn't give a deadline.]

I believe a head count is in order; how many of you are well enough to work?
