WEEK 10 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (10)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (16) 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.

[their track record is definitely not the best for this...]

We need to start with the timing, probably.

[parodeity]

[ don't bring that up we don't have any luminol to throw at the case last minute so we HAVE TO SOLVE IT NORMALLY!!!! ]

A'ight. So figuring out who saw Totty and Liz last, when, would help us know the last time they were like. For sure alive. If it were after the start of the estimated tod.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Right. Have we checked how long it'd have taken Elizabeth's body to float to where she'd be visible from the viewport? That might help too.

[parodeity]

I mean, I assume the blackout had to be connected to the airlock thing, so if her tod was 9:30, it took about ten minutes, right?

[ maths ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

That's why I'm asking, because if that's the exact time, then... we were both locked in together.

[unless they're BOTH aliens!!!!!

ok no that'd be too convenient]

[parodeity]

Oh. You got a point. I think we should test it to be sure, then? Alice'll open up the airlock for a test, right?

[ because if that's not the case then they need to worry about one of them being an alien god, dave was pretty sure that couldn't be the case with them both locked in but ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

She should, if she let you guys fetch Elizabeth's body. I'm not an expert on space physics, but if the ship's still going at the same speed it was, a dummy and an actual body would take the same amount of time to reach it.

[parodeity]

Uh, should we get a non-suspect to help us out like. Going to do this?

[ BEING A SUSPECT IS ANNOYING WHEN YOU JUST WANNA RUN EXPERIMENTS. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[ugh]

... Probably? [sighs] At least when the police in Paris was chasing me, I could still look things up on my own.

[he probably hasn't share that anecdote yet]

[parodeity]

[ okay zia you link this asking for help i don't feel like it ]

...Dude, why have you not told me this story?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[ugh FINE]

Because it wasn't fun? Someone got akumatized into being some kind of copycat, and the guy went and stole the Mona Lisa to frame me. [grumbling:] You save a city a million times but no one takes your word for it when you tell them you weren't the thief.

[parodeity]

Why do they always steal the Mona Lisa?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

The Louvre is right there? [shrugs] Anyway, it was all some stupid trap I totally fell for. Not my greatest moment.

[parodeity]

I'm just sayin', there are LOADS more interesting paintings you could steal?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I don't know, I'm not a thief.
