WEEK 9 - Trial

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (9)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (19) survivors At 9 AM, a klaxon alarm begins blaring in every area of the ship. The alarm will continue to go off until everyone has gathered in the conference room. Should anyone be running late or avoiding the trial for whatever reason, a robot guide will appear wherever they are and gently but firmly escort them into the room. Once all the living players are present, the conference room doors will lock shut; anyone who wishes to leave for whatever reason will need to ask AL-2955 or one of the robots. Anyone leaving for non-investigative purposes, such as bathroom breaks, will be accompanied by a robot escort. The large round table in the center of the conference room has been set up to help the trial run as smoothly as possible. Three holographic screens hover above the center hollow of the table, visible from every angle. The first screen displays the pictures and profiles of the suspects and victim; the second displays the autopsy report; the third displays a blank word processor. Each of the chairs comes equipped with a virtual keyboard which can be used to type information directly into the third screen, such as theories and updated information; they can also be set into privacy mode, which will transfer whatever notes someone writes directly into their datapad instead of on screen. There's also a tablet function for those who wish to draw charts or pictures on screen. The keyboards will detect the DNA of whoever's using them and record who's typed what - simply press an area of text and the name of whoever wrote it will pop up. The area to the right of the table has been temporarily sectioned off with a glass partition and sliding door for hygienic issues. Inside, the victim's body has been laid out on a metal autopsy table, covered by a plastic sheet. Above it is a holographic screen that displays a close-up color photograph of the body when it was found. A hand sanitizer dispenser has been considerately attached to the wall nearby for anyone getting up close and personal to the body. To the left of the conference table is a display case. Any evidence found during the investigation will be carefully collected by the robots at some point the previous day and placed here before the trial starts. Beneath each piece of evidence is a small tablet where players can type up information, such as a short description or where it was found. There are also empty areas left over for any evidence that may be found during the trial. The shelf at the very bottom of the case has been reserved for an extra rulebook in case anyone needs it. Food will be served throughout the day by the robots, who will take individual orders whenever you're feeling hungry. The trial will end at 9:00 PM, at which point all players will have been expected to cast their vote.

[Bless you Jason Todd he's so glad he's not being a dick on purpose in this moment. He's trying to piece together things himself and nodding along.]

Minako's hand looks like it was shot completely through, so that could explain that. I could buy that Machias walked in on something he shouldn't have, again--[Let's not forget Lavi and Allen]--and tried to kill our killer, got himself knocked unconscious, the gun was taken to finish off Minako. [It gets completely out of hand to think about.]

...if a mine didn't destroy me from down here, we could test the shotgun theory. I just don't get the scarf thing unless Machias was wearing it, got his head blown off, and then our killer used it to make it look like a scene was planted when it's pretty irrelevant. [He frowns.] We don't have a gun right now, but we've got one more mine. And you're right, we need to test how far the immunity will go. That'll answer a lot of other questions, too.

One more try? [Let's just set up that fourth mine and then he'll sort of float next to it...RIP Luke. Take care of the kids, Jason.]

[RIP Luke because he gets blown to pieces. Who thought this was a good idea.

Okay no, he's fine. The immunity activates, forming a kind of futuristic shield around him. He won't even feel the heat from the explosion. He'll still get blown backwards by the blast though and hit the wall hard; the immunity's enough to protect him from serious or fatal damage, such as a concussion or a broken spine, and even negates most of the pain. That said, he'll probably feel pretty sore for the next couple of days.]
