You have been warned!


Ponco, standing for Psychological Observation and Navigation Companion, is a robot working at a space station. Its face bears a similarity with Athena Cykes's Widget.

Abilities

Like the other "Robots with Hearts", Ponco has the ability to engage in conversations with people, although her ability to communicate is limited to what she's been programmed with. This means that she sees things with her limited knowledge of what's happening. For example, she can mistake a person attacking someone for giving them a hug. She also can express basic emotions, as indicated by her "face" and how she feels happy upon helping people.

Like the other robots, Ponco has a number of identification recognition abilities. These include facial recognition, ID scanning and a heartbeat detector.

Witnessing a "hug"

On October 7 2020, Ponco went to the Robotics Lab to recharge, where she "saw" who she detected as being Dr. Metis Cykes and Athena Cykes. In reality, Dr. Cykes had been murdered, and was on the floor with her face covered by a handkerchief. Wearing Dr. Cykes coat with her ID tag on it,and using a mask to cover his face, the murderer managed to trick Ponco's recognition systems into believing that he was Dr. Cykes. Ponco witnessed the young Cykes stabbing her mother's killer with a knife, which due to her limited understanding she interpreted as a hug.

Afterwards, Cykes asked Ponco to move her mother's body to the operating table so that she could "fix" her. Shortly after, Simon Blackquill came to the lab to discuss with Dr. Cykes about Athena. Believing that Athena had killed her mother, Blackquill dismembered Ponco with the katana used to murder Dr. Cykes, thinking that she had witnessed the crime. The dismantled Ponco was placed in a cabinet and wheeled out of the lab, and left elsewhere in the Space Center where she was later found.

An Important Witness

Ponco ended up becoming a witness in the retrial of the UR-1 Incident, in which Cykes was accused of killing her mother.

Her testimony, and information of her recognition systems, helped Phoenix Wright to prove Cykes's innocence.

Notes

  • Ponco is the third known non-human witness to give testimony in court chronologically. Canonically, she's the second, with Orla the Whale giving testimony in Turnabout Reclaimed.
