WEEK 10 - Trial Day Two

[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.

Is it morally wrong to ask a robot to throw away a scrap of its dead sibling? Anyway, I don't think they can help beyond being pushed or thrown into things.

[ There's a pause where he thinks about acknowledging the stomach comment. He does not. ] If we can't find it, maybe it really is lost to space. Did we check the vents?

[chiseler]

I don't think so. But maybe we should? It couldn't hurt in this case since we're not finding it anywhere else.

[antietam]

Do you miss crawling in the vents? [ But also. What if it's dangerous for Luke. He is clearly battling with himself here. ]

... I'll do it. You just watch my back.

[chiseler]

[He wants to argue. But Adam is valued and he is not. He has to trust that Adam can be okay, but...]

I'm bringing Backbiter. Let's go.

[muties]

If you two end up making out in there, try to not take forever, there is still a trial on.

[chiseler]

[Yeah he's throwing a pen at Roxy too and sticking his tongue out. But he's also grinning and not bothering to confirm or deny that. Sorry he's giving bad impressions, everyone.]

[bloodteller]

[ eyes narrow...

did he get her to call dave her boyfriend in public while dodging about adam goddamn it castellan, she is so MAD ]

[muties]

Probs.

Well, if it's not in the vents [ eugh the vents ] then I'd guess it was just spaced. I mean, that'd be the smart thing to do? Since they were spacin' stuff anyway.

[parodeity]

Gotta agree with Moms on this one. But I guess if they used the vents ditching it in the vents would be an option? Though still that begs the question why not just throw it into space instead, that seems like the best long-term solution?

[muties]

Space is a bit more permanent, yeah. Maybe we can ask Alice to back up the ship and look for it? Tho if we already know it was a robot arm, that might be hella pointless.

[parodeity]

I mean, we confirmed it was a robot arm, and we know of a robot that was missing an arm. I'm not sure how much more the arm would help us besides presumably being like hell yeah, this is for sure the arm that did the deed, whoop it up? We should probs focus on how the shit they opened the airlock or something?

[antietam]

It'd definitely be smart. And a jerk move.

[muties]

This killer sure does seem kinda like a huge a-hole, tbh.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

If we assume they only threw stuff out once, it'd have gone in the same direction as Elizabeth. They couldn't have sent it off in a different path.

[SPACE PHYSICS hopefully work the same in murder mystery science theater]

[douchemag]

It's probably nowhere near as heavy as she is though, yeah? [did he just call Liz fat] So maybe it would have flown off faster than she did.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[since murder mystery science is in play:]

That's true... I don't know how long those guys were in the viewport, so they could have missed it.

[douchemag]

They could have also thrown it harder, I guess? It'd be easier than picking up and throwing a body, anyway.

[THERE murder space physics fully justified!!]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[I'm not questioning the science of this but it is very dubious]

That's if they were there to physically throw out the body, isn't it? [that kinda puts adrien and dave out of the running thanks for saving your least fav pure judar]

[douchemag]

[ugh he can't believe stanning for his fav artist requires also saving his least fav pure!!]

I guess? Unless there's a way to open the airlock without actually being there, I dunno how they could have done it otherwise.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[listen if Adrien's word is no good to cover Dave he will take judar's happily this is fine]

Me either. Thanks, Judar.

[b e a m s]

[erythristic]

...That sounds more and more likely as we go on. We've been trying to think about how they'd be there and open it, but if they could send a signal from a distance, then they could be safely tucked away and secure before anything happened to Elizabeth.

[bloodteller]

That's incredibly rude. [ there's even a light smack at his arm ]

...But I don't think it's unlikely. I just can't imagine leaving something so big laying around? If I think about it like a criminal, that is, I feel like getting rid of the murder weapon would be best.

[douchemag]

Whaaaaat, I'm just telling the truth! If she weighed as much as an arm, she'd be super dead! [pause] I mean, before all this shit.

Yeah, if you're already chucking out a body, might as well get rid of the weapon while you're at it. Not that I know how finding the arm would help us now anyway.

[bloodteller]

Even if she were dead, she wouldn't weigh as little as an arm. [ HAHAHA WHATS PROCESSING ADOPTED FAMILY DEATHS? disregard that elizabeth's corpse is probably within eye shot here ]

We know it was the robot arm that hit her, so I guess you're right. There's no real need to look for something that's probably miles and miles away now. That's... to say, personally, I would leave it with the body, and then let it get sucked out. Not that I did.

[ youre not even on the suspect list, yuno ]
