Case File 007; Text; backdated to 9/10

[takethestairs]

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Miles Edgeworth, and I had the misfortune of meeting with our "esteemed" Doctor Crane before he unleashed his research on the university. Seeing as he's still on the loose, here's what I've observed about some of his abilities. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, at best. If anyone can elaborate, it would be most appreciated.

1) He has a connection of some kind to crows, and in the past, has used them to spy on others and collect information. He may simply be able to communicate with them, though others have suggested shapeshifting as a possibility. From what I've observed, though, the former seems more likely.

2) He can affect people's emotions with a single touch. In my experience, he was able to instill an almost supernatural calm in me. I do not know if this is the extent of his control, or if he can influence other emotions, as well. It seems that skin to skin contact is required for this ability to take effect, but I still recommend caution, just in case I happen to be mistaken.

While I shared this information with RISE, I apologize for not sharing it with the general public earlier. I also apologize to everyone who was concerned about me and Kay Faraday. I should have announced my presence, and shared what I found out, much earlier.

Speaking of Ms Faraday, she and Franziska von Karma were sent back home earlier this month, for those who missed it. Her own murder of crows seem to be lingering around, though; if anyone is concerned about the differences between her birds and Crane's, please contact me privately.

[The message is a bit late for Kay and Franziska's friends; the would have noticed their absence by now. However, that last message isn't intended for friends, exactly]

I hope you'll forgive my late response. I've only just arrived. I feel it is important for "imports" to become familiar with their new environment, and browsing the network seemed a sensible place to start.

I have only briefly encountered Dr. Crane myself, and not yet in person, but I understand he is associated with a few friends of mine. Needless to say, I am very curious about this information you have provided. Your shared research, I'm sure, is valuable to many.

That said, I must question the morality of making such information private to the public... Is it customary to eradicate all sense of privacy for a man and outline the specifics of the abilities bestowed upon his arrival? If so, I should exercise greater caution myself. Either way, this has been most informative.

Perhaps this is not usually the case for us, but instead, he has raised suspicion to be under some manner of professional scrutiny or investigaton?

[takethestairs]

He's currently a wanted man, if that's what you're asking. He's under suspicion for a chemical attack that occurred this past month, and several members of our community have been personally terrorized by him. However, before I continue, I must ask: how much do you know about Jonathon Crane already?

[bonsoiree]

Not much. Chemical attack? That sounds messy. In that case, thank you for the warning. I will let you know if I come across anything.

[No he won't.]

[takethestairs]

Thank you, Doctor. If there's anything else you'd like to know, either about Crane or this world, please let me know. I know that it can be difficult to adjust to life here, even under the best circumstances.
