September 18, 6:00 A.M. Wright and Co. Law Offices
Phoenix Wright was on edge. He was waiting, just as most days. However, all was not normal when the phone rang. Immediately, the rookie attorney lunged for the vibrating apparatus and answered it.
"Hello?", he asked cautiously.
"Oh. My name is Richard Banks. I am an executive for NASA."
"NASA?", asked Phoenix intriguingly. "Why are you calling me? I am an attorney!"
"Listen up," said Richard. "I've currently got an astronaut on the International Space Station who has been charged with murder. A trial will be held there. I am requesting for you to take his case."
"All right, I'll take it. But... how much will this cost me?", Wright asked.
"Normally," said the executive, "36.8 million dollars. But for you, it will be nothing! Free!"
"OK. See you at the Cape.", Phoenix replied.
"The same.", said Richard.
At the same time, Phoenix thought how he would inform Maya about this case and how it would be different from all of the others he had taken. Just then, Maya walked in the door.
"Nick, why are you so white in the face?", she asked.
"Did Mr. Edgeworth scare you again?"
"N...no... I j...just got a call from NASA. We are taking a case up 200 miles above the Earth."
"Wh...what?!", she screamed.
"H...how am I gonna tell the news to Pearly?"
"Don't worry. We will pack our bags today and head out tomorrow at 10:00 sharp."
"O...OK...", commented Maya as she bolted out the door.
