[Police Filter: Only Edgeworth, Asch, Elliot, Gale, and Raidou may view this broadcast. Tohru Adachi has been intentionally left out of the discourse. The following message is written in script - he had discovered a strange penlike device (resembling a traditional quill pen from his own time) with his Dreamberry communicator, which can be used to physically write his notes on the screen. It should be recognizable as the Inspector's handwriting.]

CONCERNING THE RECENT CRIMINAL MATTERS The events of last night do not require preface. Most of you were present. I remember this well. There are two offenses under investigation at this moment. The first is the murder committed against a girl, name: Precious, found shortly after arrival the day of October 31st. The second is the moral violation committed against Mlle. Naomi Hunter. It is clear that the black tart murderess of the first offense enjoys an audience. She carries herself with confidence; she thinks herself infallible. It is prudent to first investigate the matter of her identity and her possible hideaways immediately. Other spirits are a sensible start. The cleanly scamp of the second is a slippery devil. Mlle. Hunter will not speak. I have sent my report with the morning mail. You have each received one copy. Review it well. Consider looking for deceptive men, or men of questionable morals. You will keep all details silent. These matters concern only the service. Let us not let word spread to our lug. That will give him time to hide. Lastly, there is an additional member of the service. Tohru Adachi will serve in a lower administrative capacity. Watch him closely. Javert, Inspector of the First Class Novembre 1st, about noon-thirty At the District Five Court House

This is my Tribe, Javert. My family.

...You do not comprehend this at all, do you.

Then consider the recent murder when another one of them is spirited away before your very eyes.

[It was not that Javert did not understand family matters. It was very true that Javert grew up hating his own heritage and both of his parents. This he would not deny. However, regardless of how Gale felt about his Leader, filing the information with the police would at least ensure a proper and timely investigation. In light of the recent murders, it was extremely important to document all of these cases - who is to say that our Black Tart was not off gallavanting about, picking people off in the back-alleys at night?

Though Javert suspected that was not the case, there was no guarantee. That was why it merited an investigation and proper documentation.]

Will that be all?

[Now it was time for Javert to make a fateful decision, one that he has made countless times in his career, reserved for those numbered among the service that he believed unsuitable for the field.]

You are dismissed.

*after a long pause*

What is 'dismissed'?

Relieved from duty indefinitely. Removed from service. Gone.

[It should be noted that Javert's method of address to Gale has shifted considerably. Rather than the more casual - if not more polite - you, he has switched to a stiffer, more formal, and yet distinctly ruder archaic thou.

In his native language, Javert would have traded in the informal tu for the distant, disrespectful vous.]

Dost thou carry a dictionary?

*Oh, Gale gets it just fine without a dictionary. And this is far worse than a slap in the face. :| Hence the sudden switch to voice*

...One does not simply dismiss a follower.

[And if course, it wasn't as if Javert was too timid to respond. His voice is fierce.]

I do and I have. You are turned out. Or do you suddenly have more to say?

Only this: Your obsession and slavish adherence to the law will only cause suffering. For you and all those around you. I hope you will one day see that.
