WEEK 1 - Trial

[al2955]

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.

Mister.

[He's snorting. Way to make him sound old, Elizabeth.]

Dragging my ass to the cafeteria. Or, at least, I was until the announcement went up. Corpses have a way to ruin my appetite.

[Not really, but.]

Decided to check if there was anything interesting in the corridors after the body was discovered, though. And that's when we talked.

[brooches]

[ why does everyone get on her case about being polite!!!! She upturns her nose when he snorts okay. ]

Did you notice anything particular then? Besides me, of course.

[antagonize]

[Because she's a fossil, that's why!!!]

No. There wasn't anything suspicious or out of place there.

[brooches]

Do you have anyone who could verify your story?

[ Elizabeth says a bit more bluntly. She hates to ask it, but it needs to be done. ]

Anyone you may have bumped into, similarly to myself? I'm speaking of as far back as a few hours before we crossed paths, too.

[antagonize]

I didn't exactly plan to get accused of murder, y'know.

[Which means, nope. No one to verify his alibi. This is what happens when you're a friendless loser.]

[brooches]

[ She reads between the lines. No solid alibi. ]

Alright then. [ She will offer an acknowledging glance: ] If you're found innocent, I suggest you find people to stay with so this doesn't happen in the future. There's a lot on the line and being alone... sometimes it can be the worst thing in the entire world.

[ Was she offering? ]

[antagonize]

Aw, shucks. Be careful now. You're going to make me think you honest to god care what happens to me.

[Does it matter if she's offering? He's going to be an ass about it anyway. Reacting well to things like this is for chumps.]

[brooches]

I care if innocent people die and I care if innocent people are accused of crimes they didn't commit.

[ Did she have faith in him? She's dealt with people similar to him - maybe that's why she's even bothering to talk to him. He sadly, reminds her of Booker a bit. ]

[toprotecttheworld]

[Those kind words clearly meant for her only inspire her more. What a good Elizabeth, what a good.]

[antagonize]

Cute. Maybe you'll save the orphans one day, too.

[THE WORLD ISN'T FAIR. And stop meeting people voiced by Troy Baker, Elizabeth.]

[brooches]

Right. Please focus on other things than any heroics on my end.

[ SHE KNEW HIS VOICE WAS FAMILIAR.

Totally forgot he was voice by Troy Baker. Who isn't nowadays? ]
