WEEK 9 - Trial

[al2955]

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.

They're selfish. And idiots.

You could have done the experiment yourself, even. Make them wait upstairs.

[toprotecttheworld]

[It was something she considered, but then she remembered she's not immune to explosions. Even then.]

Ahahaha! Of course I could have. For Arbok and I, it would have been no problem. Next time, that's exactly what we'll do.

[Calling it now: Jessie is banning Jason and Luke from one science experiment next trial.]

[antietam]

[ Please do it Jessie. Be the hero. ]

And you wouldn't get yourself almost killed. Because you'd think about it. Your snake is smarter than that.

[toprotecttheworld]

Please, just call him Arbok.

[Snakes don't exist in her world!]

Team Rocket is certainly no stranger to dangerous feats, but planning is our forte.

[She's lying??? She explodes literally every episode.]

[antietam]

Arbok. Right. [ Still weird but he can do it since they're bonding over hating people. ]

You don't get that far being a master criminal unless you plan. Or a hero. Whichever you want to be today.

[toprotecttheworld]

Stop doing that! I'm a villain everyday!

[Why is Adam so intent on brutally murdering her street cred!?!]

Let's go back to talking about how rude Jason and Luke are! I can't believe he tried to test the mine himself! What if I'd come back to that?!

[antietam]

[ Her street cred is as dead as Machias. That works on him though. ]

If you came back to a third body that wouldn't even be a body because he'd be a bunch of guts flying around? I think that would ruin everyone's day.

Also, I'm pretty sure Jason would be an accomplice at the very least. And I'd vote for him.

[toprotecttheworld]

That makes two of us. A stray vote or two would help keep Jason from helping his friends try to blow themselves up. He needs to learn his lesson.

[She should not be talking about a life or death game like this.]

You and Luke are close, aren't you? Is he always like that?

[antietam]

I think you're right. [ No this is fine. ]

He doesn't always think things through, yeah, but this is the first time he's actually tried to get himself killed. I wonder if people are starting to go stir crazy.
