CASE 002 ♞ [TEXT]

[bratworth]

Hello, this is Miles Edgeworth.

Firstly, I would like to post an update in reference to my previous network broadcast, located here.

I did forward everyone's submissions to the Office of the Magister Scientiae and have received a response from Magister Alcmene that the government is doing everything they can to best settle us into their society. Those struggling with the cultural differences, however, are recommended to make use of the local libraries.

While I personally deem this response inadequate, the fact remains that we are guests in their world, and there is still no solid evidence of foul play vs. us being accidental additions to their society. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to take this matter further, I would be happy to hear them.

All of those who provided submissions should now be in the receipt of coffee vouchers for the Lunar Scientiae cafe, a poor substitute for an actual resolution.

Secondly, I am planning on signing up for the Moon Knights soon, and would be grateful to hear about other people's experiences with the organization.

Finally, I am in the market for a roommate. Messy individuals with a propensity for sticking their noses in other people's business need not apply.

[bratworth]

Yes, that is correct.

[chichichi]

That inspires confidence. I do appreciate that you took the time to share this.

Further investigation into our collective situation is something I personally consider par the course and a priority. I can't say I'm satisfied with what we're being spoon fed.

The Prismals' government is a government, so I'd expect the usual tactics to work with regards to pressing matters. Joining them or slapping a weighted diplomatic hand about their head would probably do the trick, but these are things that'd take time, effort, and immersion in the local politics. It wouldn't be a small undertaking for any individual.

[bratworth]

I wonder if there would be interest in a communal investigation between members of us Moonblessed. You are right: we can achieve more through collaboration than we can as individuals.

I'm not sure if it is reassuring or disappointing that society conducts itself in more-or-less the same way no matter one might go.

[chichichi]

As long as we aren't required to swear any unreasonable sort of fealty, I wouldn't be opposed. I don't think anyone will have the Moonblessed's best interests at heart like the Moonblessed.

I think it's simply something to bear in mind, perhaps research further.

[bratworth]

If it is a community-based groups run by Moonblessed, I find it unlikely that any fealty will be involved. Most, if not all, of us have loyalties that lie with organisations in our home worlds.

I certainly will keep your advice in mind. Do you have any other recommendations I might be able to take on board?

[chichichi]

That was my thinking. I understand the Moon Knights require new recruits to pledge fealty to the Lunatian government, so it seemed like a topic worth breaching.

I saw it mentioned, but I'd second the creation of an organization run by Moonblessed that familiarizes new arrivals with Prismatica and our shared situation. There are many and varied differences between cultures that originate on the same planet. The scale of the gap we're looking at bridging for the Moonblessed's well-being is interplanetary. From what I've been able to gather, the Prismals already had a lot on their hands before we came into the equation, too.

It would be better for us to take initiative where we're able.

[bratworth]

Indeed. Those who might be opposed to joining a native organization that demands fealty might be more comfortable contributing to a more voluntary cause.

Perhaps at some point in the near future I will make another post in order to discover who is interested in volunteering for such an organization, because we will need as many hands on decks as possible, so to speak.

[chichichi]

I'll keep my eyes peeled for that, then, and my ears open for others of a like mind.

My name is Setsura Yamaguchi, by the way.

[bratworth]

Thank you. I appreciate the assistance.

It is good to make your acquaintance, Mr. Yamaguchi.

[chichichi]

You're welcome.

The pleasure's mine, Mr. Edgeworth. Take care of yourself in the meantime, hm?

[bratworth]

Likewise.
