WEEK 1 - TRIAL DAY TWO

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO (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. The trial will end at 9:00 PM, at which point all players will have been expected to cast their vote.

[ !!! That's quite the jump. He's not sure how this all happened, but this trial has been... messy... so far.

And quite frankly, it makes him feel awful to be questioning everything. And um can people plz stop disrespecting Miss Yew's body!!! It's bad enough they can't bury her properly :( Now she has, like, 10 extra stab wounds. ]

Let's backstep a little and separate the events. I'd like to know why your ring left a mark in the room at all. It's a bit strange. [ He looks apologetic. ] We haven't tied it to you being the killer, so... for you to jump from that to asking us how you could have possibly knocked Miss Yew out... Um, you connected the two events on your own, when they could very well be separate instances.

I've been suspected for something similar before, so I knew where it was going. I may as well have confessed to the 'crime' I had committed.

[ Better to confess to a lie then go down for a worse crime you didn't commit, at least. ]

I don't have any answers for the scrape. If I did it, I didn't notice. Calisto could also have left it with a ring of her own.

[ Wait... He tilts his head. ]

But... it's your engagement ring. And on your profile, it says you're skilled in "marrying rich." [ Whatever that means. ] I'd think you'd be more than a little fond of something this expensive. Surely you would have noticed if you'd scratched anything with it.
