MC: Avery Richman, poured his personal funds into creating a dream private railway.

MC: That is the Silver Star.

MC: Unfortunately, Mr. Richman couldn't be here with us today,

MC: but regardless, we shall be departing very shortly.

Maya: Isn't this amazing?

Maya: They made it a choo-choo train on purpose.

Maya: How nostalchic.

PW: You mean nostalgic.

Maya: All right.

Maya: Let's go, Nick.

Gum: Huh? It's you two!

PW: Detective Gumshoe?

Maya: And the judge, too!

J: Hello there.

Gum: We entered the postcard contest and won.

J: I'm going on a tour of the hot springs in the north aboard a retro train.

Maya: Ta-dah!

Maya: We were invited!

Gum: What? Invited?

Maya: Which car are you in? We're in Car .

Gum: We're in Car .

Maya: Let's hang out later!

Maya: Here.

Rick: Thank you very much.

Rick: Mr. Phoenix Wright and Ms. Maya Fey, yes?

Rick: Welcome aboard the Silver Star.

Rick: I'm Rick, and I'll be your attendant.

Sign: Rick Steam

Maya: Nice to meet you, Rick.

Rick: You're in the Sakura Room, yes?

Maya: "Sakura Room"?

Maya: Sounds like a traditional inn!

Maya: It really does say "Sakura"!

Maya: I've never see anything like this!

PW: A compartment, huh?

Maya: Amazing!

Maya: It's like a hotel room!

PW: Yeah, very nice.

Rick: Thank you very much.

Rick: The Silver Star is a private service that Mr. Richman built by buying an old railroad.

Rick: Its retro appearance is modeled after the good old steam engine trains from the s.

Rick: Even the decor has been meticulously designed.

Rick: Meanwhile, the train's engines and propulsion system are bleeding edge technology.

Rick: By the way, the entire crew is people who followed Mr. Richman from his homeland.

Maya: You too, then?

Rick: Yes, I'm from Goldstruck Republic as well.

PW: I hear Mr. Richman loves Japan very much and was recently naturalized.

Rick: That's right.

Maya: Ah, so that's why the Sakura Room and stuff.

Rick: The ultimate railway, a realization of his dreams and ideals...

Rick: That's the Silver Star.

Rick: We hope you enjoy your journey.

Maya: But man, I can't believe you got invited to this.

Maya: When did you become such a big shot, Nick?

PW: Funny thing about that.

PW: I don't know Mr. Richman at all.

PW: I have no idea why I was invited.

Maya: Yeah, you are pretty small fry, if anything.

Maya: Anyway, let's explore!

Maya: Come on, come on!

Gale: Pardon me.

Gale: Where is the Chrysanthemum Room?

Rick: I'll take you there, sir.

Gale: Long time no see.

Rich: Please conduct it.

J: Huh? Oh... O-Okay.
