WEEK 5 - Trial

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (5)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (32) 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.

[The bruising's not on her wrists, but on the inside of her forearms. They're about an inch or so wide and not very dark in color.]

[refactor]

[ WHOOPS pretend I can read, my bad... How many bruises are there like this? ]

[al2955]

[Looks like two on each arm.]

[refactor]

[ Neat. If he can, he'll move the forearms to be roughly next to each other, and if not, he'll just make his best guess here. Are the bruises roughly aligned, as in, if you did have the arms next to each other, would they make a line across both arms? Or are they spaced more randomly? ]

[al2955]

[It's a bit uneven, but they roughly align.]

[refactor]

[ With that in mind, Jack will go fetch at least the pole part of the pool net and compare it to the bruises to see how the width of the pole matches against them. ]

[al2955]

[Looks like it's a possible match.]

[refactor]

Thought so.

[ Jack will lean the pole against the wall or whatever, and then move on to check the bruises on her stomach. Are they roughly the same as the ones on her forearms, or are they different in quality? ]

[al2955]

[They're roughly the same size.]

[refactor]

[ That's the less obvious part taken care of, so now for the obvious, he guesses. Jack is going to take a closer look at that bullet wound on her forehead. First thing's first, does it look like it came from a gun fired at a close range or a farther one? ]

[al2955]

[Kind of hard to tell. He's going to have to get more specific in what he's looking for.]

[refactor]

[ Stop making me google questionable things!!! He's looking for contact wounds implying direct contact, thermal burns for very close range (10 cm or less), and any tattooing and its density. I'm citing my sources in case it helps, but I mean, as expected, this has gross pictures. ]

[al2955]

[No thermal burns, tattooing, contact wounds, or anything else that would imply direct contact from the gun.]

[refactor]

[ Jack nods, satisfied, then checks the rest of her head to see if there's an exit wound for the bullet. ]

[al2955]

[No exit wound.]

[refactor]

[ Oh boy, then Jack gets to be disgustingly thorough! He'll go back to the bullet wound itself to see if a bullet is visible. Thankfully, he won't dig his finger in there, but he will get pretty up close and personal. And use his datapad as an extra light if need be.

I'm so sorry about him, forgive me Carta. ]

[al2955]

[uhhHHHH...

You know what, let's go with yes, he can see something metallic glinting in there to save me from having to google gunshot wounds.]

[refactor]

[ thank god for everyone since i didn't want to google it either... But! Finally, Jack is satisfied, so he'll go report his findings at this point. You're free now, with my apologies. ]
