Welcome to Aecrudia!/Transcript

Aecrudia', city of freedom and opportunity... 'Feodora Beaudreau :'' How do you do,  ? You must be the new rookie detective I've been hearing about! I'm Feodora Beaudreau, but everybody calls me Feo. We're going to be partners in the force together!'' Fredric Collingham (monkey smiling): ''Pleased to make your acquaintance, . I'm Fredric Collingham, a detective who's going to assist you in your work as well!'' Velma Stewart (greeting):'' Welcome to Aecrudia, ! My name is Velma Stewart, the Assistant Chief of Police. Chief Defarge sent us to pick you up.'' Feodora (tipping hat, winking):'' I can tell that we're going to make a splendid team together, ! I do hope your flight on the airship over here was nanty narking? Dear old Fredric has a fear of heights. He bit his nails seeing the airship land! Feodora (pumping fists): Let us not waste anymore time. We must brief you on your current job by speaking with Chief Defarge. Off to the Aecrudian Police Department we go aboard our carriage!

Inside the carriage... (Fredric's monkey points and laughs at Feodora reading a book.) Fredric: Feo, Charlotte knows that people who read books are simply–as Velma puts it–"nerds". Feodora (snarky): And those gas-pipes of yours can make a stuffed bird laugh. Feodora: Pardon my sudden interest, but this book is absolutely fantastic! It's about a mutton shunter slowly working his way through the ranks and solving puzzling murders! I simply cannot put it down! Fredric (Charlotte brushes her head against Fredric's head): Aren't those golden details on that book rather butter upon bacon? Feodora: Why, of course it is! What's the point of having money if you don't spend some? Fredric (Charlotte sad, Fredric despondent): I never had money growing up... I grew up on the streets dirt poor and I had to work my butt off to support my meaters of parents that later abandoned me. Feodora (sympathetic): Fredric... I apolo– (The carriage suddenly comes to a halt.) Fredric (Charlotte scared and holding onto hat, Fredric concerned): What happened? Did Velma run over a rat again? That's the tenth one this week! Feodora (hand on chin): The station's normally ten minutes away... Hmm. Come! We must find out why Velma stopped the carriage.

Outside the carriage... Fredric (Charlotte covering eyes): Velma, what's going on? Velma (scared): As I was about to cross underneath the Coast Bridge, I noticed a man laying beside the entrance! I think he might be hurt! Feodora (determined): Fredric, ... let us assist this poor gentleman!
