WEEK 1 - Trial
| the pygmalion. . . ONLINE  CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1) |
saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (40) 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. At 7PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. All players will be escorted by the robots into the cafeteria. From there, they're free to head into the lounge, the viewing deck, the chapel, or back to their rooms. All other areas of the ship have been locked off, and every player will be accompanied by a robot until they return to their room for the night. Any attempts to enter a locked off room or physically interfere with the trial or evidence outside of their room will cause the robot to raise a ship-wide alarm. |

Not sayin' it was you, but it's a good chunk of reasons someone might think so.

...and I didn't think it was necessary for everyone to see what I had. I left after the body had been removed to clean up.
[She did it for the children.]
no subject
Noble cause I guess. What made you go to the daycare in the first place anyway?
no subject
I had a look at the body, while Jessie did a quick sweep for any other evidence. [ actually, we should probably confirm: ] Jessie, you mentioned you didn't find anything else, right?
no subject
...But isn't that odd. If there was something wrong with the ballpit, why did we find the body all the way over by the Merry-Go-Round?
no subject
That, and look at the blood we found - there was a lot more compared to what Elizabeth discovered in the ball pit.

I'd say it is rather possible that is the place Calypso was killed in. A blade would be more than enough to puncture the ballpit and make it be like that, and if there is a puncture mark on the ballpit then that means the culprit missed at least once.
That makes it very likely Calypso and the killer did fight a lot. Since the body was moved maybe making it stay inside the ballpit is inconvenient for the culprit in some way?
[Pause]
Sorry for rambling a bit, I'm not used to chaining coherent paragraphs while speaking. Did I make it coherent?
no subject
[ he nods, going over it carefully. you done good girl ]
All of that sounds plausible, and it's very likely the culprit missed during the struggle. And it's plausible that's why they could have been moved, as you said. But as you mentioned, it's built to be resistant around children. However, what about the possibility of someone wearing heels being part of what caused it to puncture? [ like say... yew herself. ] I'd assume they'd have to be rather thin, but I'm not sure we can entirely count it out.

And even if she were stabbed once in the struggle, it should have left a trail if she did get up and move towards the merry-go-round. We should try to confirm how she got there, if she wasn't just placed there afterwards. [ but even that should have left some blood just saying ] Not to mention... are we absolutely certain it's the victim's blood we found in there? Is there any way we could check?
