003 [Filtered: Amestris]

[its_karma_fool]

I have returned from the investigation. We've yet to find the Captain's body, but there is no proof one way or another if he is dead or alive. The search and rescue mission will continue until we have results.

Until the Grand Admiral returns, I will be acting Captain of this ship. All orders will go through me first.

[: Officers]

Full report.

My my, Franziska, I do believe you've missed some important news!

[its_karma_fool]

....say what you mean, General.

[generaltroll]

Why, simply that your services as acting captain will not be required; the Amestris already has one, and one higher-ranked than you, I might add.

[its_karma_fool]

While you may have been able to get away with wrenching away command while I was gone, you are not enlisted on this ship and your rank has no bearing here. I am the First Mate, and this is now my ship.

There's been attempts of sabotage on the ship, most possibly by radicals, though we can't confirm it just yet until we get the chance to properly interrogate them. Some sabotage has been done, though there are no extensive or unsalvageable damages so far. The officials have been barricaded in the ballroom along with assigned guards, and the others are going around now to salvage the situation and round up whatever trespassers that we can find.

I can't say I'm surprised, after the train bombing. No physical injuries in the crew? Have you captured any of the saboteurs?

[ Filtered to Officers ]

[mayovice]

None, except for the--Commander Edgeworth. Apparently he got himself struck on the head or something by one of them, I'm not clear on the details. Lieutenant Gumshoe has taken him to the infirmary already. As for any captures... all I've got on my end are two unrelated brats that got onto the ship somehow. They're both in the brig now.

....I will see to both the Commander and the prisoners myself. Leave off interrogation until we get this ship back under control.

Grumman has taken control of the ship, and there are sabateours on board.

[...Totally saw that conversation between her and Grumman, yep. But let's pretend that all's well.]

I've reshuffled patrols and shifts in light of recent events. A copy of my proposal should be on your desk, ma'am.

[....and Roy gets brownie points.]

Excellent. You have my thanks.

[ Filtered to the Officers ]

[thewarisover]

No need for thanks. One's expected to do one's job, after all.

With all due respect, Grumman's decision was entirely out of my control.

[Filtered to Edgeworth]

[its_karma_fool]

What Grumman's decision was hardly matters. What made this a foolish failure on your part is that you let him walk all over your command.

[Filtered to Franziska]

[edge_of_honor]

Despite his position on the ship, he was, technically, ranked higher than me. Everything he did was supported by regulation.

Unless, of course, you think that I should have wasted valuable time on a futile power struggle instead of actual work.

[Filtered: Edgeworth]

[its_karma_fool]

It is hardly a futile power struggle when he is trying to wrest control from my hands. The General used his rank to blatantly ignore the proper chain of command and you let him.
