WEEK TWO - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (2)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (38) 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.

[Nothing in the bathroom either aside from what was already assigned in the ship and also whatever the ship's version of alka seltzer or anti-nausea medication............just put on one of the shelves to the side. She needed it when she got drunk at the girl's night, don't judge. She already regretted it.

Otherwise it's pretty much how it generically always is.

No weird markings or anything to be found where Harold is poking around, even on the door frames.]

[probings]

It really doesn't look like there's much here at all. Any luck in there?

[she'll ask that part before addressing the rest of what luke's saying.]

Suspicions don't really mean much at all right now, don't you think? There's still too much we don't know before we can go pointing fingers. I mean, you can if you want to, but the motive is weak and we still haven't found all the evidence yet.

[she sighs, peeking behind the furniture one last time anyway as she stretches her arms out over her head.] It looks like she doesn't spend much time in here aside from sleeping.

[chiseler]

Nothing of interest beyond some anti-nausea stuff probably lifted from the med bay. [But for the most part he's not finding anything of interest and he's even closing all of the drawers and doors. Seems he respects Tsukuyo enough for that. He heads back out to the main part of the room and leans against the doorframe of the bathroom, frowning slightly.]

Think about what we do know. Her hair thing was found as a piece of evidence and it's likely that somebody's got the universal card. Maybe our next question should be how often she's spoken to the other suspects and see if maybe somebody would have an interest in framing her. [A hand's running over the doorframe anyway just in case.]

Nothing. Let's head back and see if anybody else found something better in the other rooms.

[probings]

I knew she took it, since it went missing after she got pretty hammered. That's not too much of a problem.

Either way, if someone's got the universal card, her hairpiece might not count for much unless she did it and was banking on us suspecting that. [it's a possibility she's not ruling out, because anything is possible.

but tsukuyo doesn't strike her as the type to be so roundabout with things either, so she shrugs.]

We can do more speculating once we've got a better idea of what's been recovered and from where. [so she'll point to the door and flash him a grin.] Vamoose!
