Odo's POV

Nerys and I were eating dinner at Quarks. Well, technically, she was eating. I was ingesting cups of "changeling coffee" as she had come to call it. It was just an extension of my morphogenic matrix made to look like a cup full of coffee. I would drink the liquid, re-absorb it, and then replenish the liquid in the cup. She was eating spicy Bajorian shrimp, while enjoying a cold Tarkalian Tea.

"You know," I said looking at her, "one of the few things I miss about being a solid is being able to drink and eat real food." She smiled that beautiful smile of hers.

"You know you can still eat Odo." She said pointing out that I can eat, "you just chose not to."

"It's just not the same." I replied back, drinking my beverage. I saw Kira look up.

"I wonder why the doctor is walking toward us." I turned around too see Bashir walking toward us, in his hand were two PADDS.

"Just the two I wanted to see. Can I ask a favor of you?" He asked us.

"What is it doctor?" I asked him as I turned to face him, retracting the cup into my hand. He gave me and Kira a PADD.

"Well, I was hoping you'd try out a new holoprogram with me." I looked at the PADD he had given me. On it was the picture of a Caucasian man in a blue suit. A red tie stood out against his suit. "The program is based off an old Earth game. The game involves you being a defense attorney."

"And, you want Kira and me to play in it?" I asked him looking up at

him.

"Well, I figured you would like the role of the title character. Colonel, I was thinking that you could play the assistant to Odo." I tried to access the court details, but a screen came up. The screen read, ACCESS DENIED.

"Doctor, this PADD isn't letting me look at the details of the case."

"Actually, that's the point Odo," the doctor said explaining. "You see your character has amnesia and the defendant, along with Kira's character, helps you to remember everything. So, will you do it?" I thought about it. However, before I could respond, Kira answered.

"Of course we will doctor." She said looking at the Doctor. Bashir smiled.

"Thanks you two. I'll see you tomorrow at 2100, Holosuite 4." With that, the doctor turned to leave, but stopped. I turned his head back toward us. "Oh, and make sure you come into Quarks from the second floor entrance." He left after that. I turned to Kira.

"What? We need some fun in our lives." I rolled my eyes. "You'll enjoy it. Now, if you need me, I'll be in my quarters." She got up to leave, I looked up at her.

"Why?" I asked her as she walked toward the rear exit. She turned and smiled.

"Well, I need to go read the, for lack of a better word, script for tomorrow, and I need to replicate the outfit." With not another word, she left. I sighed. I got up, and left for my quarters.

When I got there, I decided to check up on this Phoenix Wright character. I checked the Federation Cultural Database, but the files I found were encrypted. I sighed.

"You do make my job hard don't you doctor." I mumbled under my breath. I did notice however that one section of the Phoenix Wright files were not encrypted. It was called "Movements". I opened the file. The user interface changed. I saw my character with three selections below him. The selections read Objection! Hold It! and Take That! I selected the first one. The character moved. He shot his left arm out toward me and shouted, "Objection!" He then spoke a description

"Whenever I find a discrepancy in the witness' statement, I can present evidence to prove they are lying. I can do this by selecting the appropriate evidence from the Court Record, but I have to be careful. If I present the wrong evidence, I will get a penalty."

I thought about this.

"This must be a tutorial for those who use the doctor's new program." I figured that as long as I have access, I should learn as much as I could. I clicked the second selection. Mr. Wright reset. He shot his arm out again and shouted, "Hold It!" He then began his description.

"When I need to get more information from a witness, or if I want to be heard over the wildness of a courtroom crowd, I can shout this phrase. When used in the former sense, this can get me either more information that isn't really necessary, or a new piece of testimony. This usually won't get me a penalty, unless the judge, or more likely the prosecution working through the judge, has made it so. Extra points if you slam your hands on the table. It makes a loud noise that can startle lying witnesses."

I clicked the final button. Wright reset again. This time he hit a button on the table he was standing behind. A series of holograms appeared before him. He selected one and shouted, once again extending his arm, "Take That!" He started his monologue.

"This is used when someone in the courtroom wants evidence. Just like when presenting with objection, I select the evidence I want to show. With the holographic systems installed in the courtroom, this makes the show flasher for the audience, and much easier to find evidence for me. When I'm investigating in the field, I can present like this, normally without the shouting, by looking in my personal court record. Unfortunately, I don't carry a personal holographic emitter, so I have to carry either photos, or spare copies of the evidence. I thought about this.

"Well, I better start practicing." I said to myself. I stood up and began going through the motions of my character.
