[When the video cuts on, the Master's posed exactly like his icon, though with a look of practiced political sympathy on his face. However, unless a person is particularly hard-headed, they probably won't notice that little fact--they will see it as real sympathy.]Hello, good citizens of Siren's Port

Have you a specific plan for said assistance?

[cannibalises]

Of course I do; however, it needs more volunteers to make it work.

Right now, there are only scattered people working in different sectors. If I can rally up enough support, I plan on unifying them into one team and then working on re-building one sector at a time, with a few people sent to each sector looking for survivors that may be trapped.

Have you experience as an engineer?

[Before he speaks, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small device. He tosses it gently into the air and catches it several times while speaking; his voice sounds very smug.]

And why wouldn't I?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

Because engineering experience tends to be rather rare.

[cannibalises]

I am a rather rare person.

[mentis_reae]

All right, then; in what capacity did you work?

video; private;

[cannibalises]

In fields you can't even begin to imagine.

Unless, of course, you understand the meaning behind turning a TARDIS into a Paradox Machine. Which I'm sure you don't.

[The Master realizes that he's probably said too much at this point, but, well, he was never really good at being secretive. So he simply shuts up.]

[mentis_reae]

I do not; perhaps, then, you might explain?

TARDIS:

Time and Relative Dimension in Space.

[He's switched to text; while it's not out of the norm for people to have things like this, he's realized, the fact that Rose is there and obviously knows the Doctor means that he has to strike a balance between talking about himself so as to gain trust and not tell too much, in case she's ever heard of him.]

[Edgeworth fumbles a bit as he transitions to text.]

Meaning?

[text, private]

[cannibalises]

It's a Police Box that travels through time and Space.

That, I assume, you can understand.

[mentis_reae]

Why, precisely, a "police box"?

[text, private]

[cannibalises]

You'd have to ask that of its owner.

[text]

[mentis_reae]

All right. And the other object you mentioned?

[text, private]

[cannibalises]

The Paradox machine? Well, it's merely a modified TARDIS.
