[He takes another breath. He's already talked about this with Will Graham. It's time to let the rest of the world know]
I was kidnapped by Crane and his assistants a few days before his attack on the university. My information is... limited, unfortunately, but I do know a few things regarding both his abilities and his allies.
[His voice is still tense, but he manages to keep it steady. It does not waver, and it does not falter. It's a difficult subject, but his tone remains as professional as possible for him]
There were crows. Crows in his office the night he captured me, and a stray crow in my home a few weeks before his attack. At first, I had mistaken it for one of Kay Faraday's crows - she used her birds to scout during the Flare epidemic. While I do not know the full extent of his powers, I suspect that he has some abilities similar to hers.
I'm not entirely certain, to be honest. However I suspect that he can use them to spy on people. During my capture, he had revealed information that could only be found in my file. If I were to guess, I'd say that he used his crows to find it for him.
None that I know of. I apologize, but by the time I put two and two together, it was too late.
[He purses his lips together, gripping his device tightly. His voice went tense near the end, but he still keeps it together]
Crane has another ability you should know of, as well. He can affect emotions - and I don't mean his toxin. He can affect how people feel with a single touch. When I...
[He takes a moment to steady himself to continue]
When I tried to escape, he... touched me. Brushed against me, really. Suddenly, I was calm. Compliant.
[He speaks the last word with disgust, finally breaking the stoic tone he's tried to evoke through the entire conversation. Edgeworth grits his teeth, trying to reign in his temper]
[Olivier's voice is quiet as she processes this new information.] I see.
Did he touch your skin? Or your clothing? [Because if it's skin, that's easy to avoid skin-to-skin contact. If it can be clothing, that's much more difficult.]
Hours, at least. You'll forgive me if I wasn't able to keep track of time. As for the control...
[He pauses, trying to think of the best way to explain this]
To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer that, exactly. So allow me to explain what happened. After Crane had threatened me, I tried to escape and call for help. However, his... lackeys cornered me.
[His voice is strained again, but he continues on regardless]
I tried to fight them off, which was where Crane stepped in. Once he touched me, I felt completely calm. He did not force me to stop struggling - rather, I not longer saw the point in struggling at all. I was... serene.
[He snorts, his bitterness coming through once more]
Serene enough to let him stuff me in a trunk for the next few hours.
[He bites his tongue, choking back a response. She doesn't pull any punches doesn't she?! Alright, alright, back to business...]
About Crane's abilities? I have nothing else. However, I do have some information about his allies. Do you know who he's staying with at the moment, Major General?
Lucifer has been working with Crane for some time. During the final day of my captivity, I noticed that Crane's little minions were wearing symbols connected with Lucifer and his church - pendants, rings, and the like. At first, I thought it was another delusion, but I was able to confirm it with one of the people who rescued me.
[And after he sends that message, she'll get a picture of a messy notebook sketch. While Edgeworth isn't exactly an artist, it's clearly a simplified version of this sigil.]

I need to know your plans concerning Crane.

I see no need for any further complexity.

What could he do with them?

And there's no way of distinguishing his crows from any other. No way of targeting them out of a crowd that you know of.

My skin, Major General. Do you have any other questions, or shall I move on?

This could be a very dangerous ability. I'm not going to take it lightly.

As long as it's touch-based, then we can counter it. Anything else, or is that all?

You mean the one calling himself Lucifer? He talked about a sanctuary in his church or some such mumbo-jumbo.
