73 [Open to the space immediately around the Victoria II and the Fiertia]

[karmauberalles]

This is the captain of the Victoria II speaking.

To the ship that has recently entered our airspace: state your name and your reason for being here. If you are a hostile party, be assured that I will do whatever it takes to shoot you out of the sky.

If you are not, I would like to speak to your captain.

That's true... they'd work well for that.

However, if we are attacked by pirates, that means they get to them first.

Which means that the pirates will waste their time and energy in a pitiful attempt to defeat them. Think of the Fiertia not as competition but as a decoy - as soon as the enemy is weakened by their efforts, we'll be able to pick the pirates off without ever having to leave the dear ambassador's side.

...you know, Edgeworth, there's a reason I keep you around.

I'm simply doing my duty, sir. Will you be contacting the captain of the Fiertia yourself, or will you leave that pleasure to another officer?

You or some other officer can do it. I don't feel like dealing with them any more than I have to.

I'll get right on it, sir.
