Geez, I never said I was really going to rip 'em apart...

[She pouts. Come on, Edgeworth, you know she was just messing around. But Kay does reach out for one package, turning it over and over in her hands as if searching for the best place to begin a decisive tear.]

[truthsnomiracle]

One does not joke about the treatment of evidence any more than one jokes about the treatment of babies.

[Kay will find that the bag is held shut by a simple piece of scotch tape.]

[yatagarasu]

Those are two different things! [Kay glances up at the ceiling briefly as if wondering how to deal with Edgeworth, then inspects the bag. It doesn't take long for her to notice the tape. With her fingernails she gently scrapes off a part of it, grasps the end, and slowly, very slowly and precisely, peels it off.]

[truthsnomiracle]

And yet, innocent lives are endangered by the mistreatment of either!

[Inside this bag, Kay will find a tiny circuit board of about the right size to be the innards of a USB thumb drive. Didn't they discuss the possibility of something of that nature being a type of potential evidence to look out for earlier?]

[yatagarasu]

Calm down, Mr. Edgeworth, I'm not ripping it up. See?

[After peeling off enough of the tape, she opens the bag, and shows the contents to him before quickly drawing the bag to herself and digging out the tiny circuit board with careful, gloved fingers.]

This looks like it came out of a USB drive!

Sorry about the delay!

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth peers at the tiny circuit board with intense thoughtfulness.]

Is that the same sort of long-term storage used in the headphones? Our prior discussion didn't make it clear, though it appears to be sufficiently small for that purpose.

[A quick check of the schematics should confirm that yes, what the headphones use for long-term storage basically boils down to this. And Edgeworth did propose the possibility of swapping out that part earlier in favor of one with orders already recorded on it...]

[yatagarasu]

[Kay nods, twirling the circuit board deftly in her fingers. To her credit, it doesn't fall to the floor or slip from her grasp.]

Probably. Storage gets smaller and smaller nowadays. Who knows, one day you could fit your entire autobiography in a chip the size of a speck of dust?

1/2

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth grins at Kay's confirmation, not even fazed by her twirl of the potential evidence. Her further comments prompt a doubtful look, however.]

Would that not be prohibitively small? One must at least be able to easily hold and manipulate an object for it to be of use.

(Aside from which, would there really be any use for a book about my life that would outweigh the loss of privacy?)

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth swiftly recovers his confident demeanor, however.]

Anyway, we'll need to have forensics look at this and anything else like it you may find. If they can find evidence that these contain any instructions that have been fed through the filter you found earlier, then that may prove to be quite telling.

[yatagarasu]

[Kay holds out the little circuit board with a mischievous grin.]

Right! So, do you want me to keep it...or do you want to guard it in my bag?

[Those are the same, and she knows it, with how she stifles a giggle.]

[truthsnomiracle]

Hmph. If you are so eager to care for this evidence, I see no reason to deny you the pleasure.

[After all, Kay did successfully care for crucial evidence for seven years before.]

[yatagarasu]

I think I'll steal the pleasure. It's all mine!

[She stashes the circuit board - amazingly carefully, by gently sliding it into an inner pocket in her bag.]

[truthsnomiracle]

(Can it really be considered "stealing" if one is taking something freely offered?)

[To his credit, Edgeworth keeps this thought to himself rather than spoiling Kay's fun. Especially given how important fun actually seems to be to her, if her earlier point of resistance is any indication.]

We should see if there are any other storage devices like that one in this drawer.

[Now that Edgeworth has some idea of the size and shape of object to look for, the prosecutor seeks out smaller opaque metallic plastic bags within the drawer and gently sways each to determine the general size of its contents, quickly narrowing down which ones contain circuit boards of the right size. Kay will find that one of Edgeworth's three candidate items is also the innards of a USB drive, leaving them with a total of two such things to pass on to forensics.]

[yatagarasu]

[Kay watches him in fascination, then picks up the bags and tries squinting at them as if that would help her discern what's inside. Then she feels them, turning them over and over in her fingers to get a better idea of what's in them before actually (carefully) opening each bag, before - ]

Eureka!

[Someone found the innards of another USB drive.]

[truthsnomiracle]

(She seems to have chosen the perfect time to steal my line.)

Well done, Kay. Anyway, I believe we've found all potential evidence in this particular drawer, provided no future discoveries point us back to it again.

[yatagarasu]

Are you sure you don't want me to open up - or better yet - hang on to the other little bags?

[Someone's too excited about the prospect.]

[truthsnomiracle]

We are trying to collect evidence and information that may be relevant to the case, Kay — not mere interesting baubles. Unless you can explain why anything else within this drawer might constitute evidence of the events or motive behind Ms. Gusse's murder, we leave the rest behind.
