Part 107: Tortillas, Flautas, and released Angels




Update 53

As mentioned before, this video segment was supposed to have some songs spliced in.
I could probably try it with Audacity soon, but meanwhile, just the video will suffice.

ALSO, for some reason my capture is getting worse. That is worrysome.

In any case, imagine the appropriate Phoenix Wright songs in the appropriate moments. (Veoh)
I think that the best music is in the first game. Which is somewhat unfortunate. (Viddler)
At least they used the best song of the first in the third's climax (Youtube)


This dude is the one needed to unlock the first batch of optional bosses.


"Leave me alone!"



"Serph, if there's a chance she's involved, we cannot ignore it."

This is clearly the appropriate option.




Immediately after selecting that, it is dialogue time!

"R-really, that's all!
I don't... I don't know anything!"




Questioning him would just be the same question. No new data has been received.

"No... I believe I'll go straight for the head."

As far as threats go, I think slow dismemberment would be scarier than going directly to the vitals.




"If-If-If you're fine with that, then eat me!"



"It's more difficult to gather information if he's hysterical"

Clearly, threatening the guy was a bad idea.

"Really, that's all! "





Now let us try the logical approach.

"If you're hiding something, now is the time to spit it out."





"An order... I see..."

And right about here is where PURSUIT - CORNERED would kick in first.


"You claimed to have just stopped by, but then you said..."






HARD HITTING TRUTH DETECTING ACTION!

"Sure, I came here because the Director ordered it.
But I was told to wait here!
It doesn't change the fact that I don't know anything!"



Advancement has been made, but just like in the lawyerin' game, that is just the beggining, MORE CORSS EXAMINATION.

"I was told to wait here. I don't even know what's going on inside."




A new option has been revealed, it is our duty to explore tha new option.




Goddamnit that is useless. But hilarious.





And this is why I love that option.
Flauta means flute. Which is not only the musical instrument.
It is also delicious.


Tightly wound tortillas filled with some sort of meat stuff (my favorite is chicken) and then fried. Add some cream, lettuce and salt to sprinkle on it and it is glorious.
Needless to say, it is also artery-clogging as hell, but goddamn it is great.



I was very surprised in my first run through the game to see a reference to this.
Even more surprised than with the Wikipedia mantra.

Also: Flautas must be made with corn tortillas (preferably handmade, but then again, anything done with handmade/fresh tortilla dough is inherently better. Yum, gorditas/quesadillas).
Wheat tortillas are no good, they don't get the right consistency, and (in my opinion) they taste gross when fried.



"We are wasting too much time. There must be a better approach."







Well that was not exactly enlightening, let us threaten now.

"Once you get like that... Your'e not human anymore. My friends are dead!"

Right about here, the most awesome of the Phoenix Wright songs would kick in again

"He knows what happened inside. We've got him."




"You were ordered to wait here, and claim not to know what happened inside, but in fact..."



This would be the correct answer. But no. Not this time.



Goddamn now I WANT to eat Flautas.




PROBLEM! Unless the tortilla he mentions is "tortilla española", then he would already be eating tortillas when eating flautas.
Tortillas by themselves are not exactly awesome, but they are a very versatile food.
Tortilla soup (Sopa Azteca) is strangely tasty.

And now I kind of want a tortilla española. Damnation.

The delicious and artery clogging ones.




"Serph is depending on me."

Gale's got it.

Clearly the Technical Researcher is dumbfounded by Gale's knowledge of the first name of Angel.





 And as will be revealed, more than that. In a way. Also, why Gale was never in the flashbacks. 




"I see...
There's somehting... You should know."





"I released the seal od the devouring angels who descended five years ago with Varna and Meganada.
Their minds have eroded to a point where they don't remember anything about this world.
They are going to destroy us all.

The Director knew this--that's why they were sealed in the first place.
She's... Different from before.
Lately, it feels like there's darkness all around her.

Please... Defeat the angels, if you can."





"One of the mmight even still be inside."

Well, clearly then, the next step is to go back inside.

But first, all these datas go to Serph.



Not bad, eh?



And he gets to learn a new mantra.



This one should be more than sufficient.

Levelups and such. Meh.



The layout is the same, but after Heat is dead, the portals are all closed, so the navigation is now rather straightforward.
The damage field corridors are still active, though.




It is in this zone, where Abbadon was fought, where the next foe will be faced.




Yes, but not at the moment.
