WEEK 5 - Trial

[al2955]

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.

[ Sorry, as she finally gets to read she gets insight that she didn't think would come. Hancock comes off as a leader, obviously, but seeing the detail and how it speaks to random civilians. It's like if anyone saw her dance and paint in her tower - an insight not many sees. She feels gross for reading it, a bubbling fear that... He won't be here next week.

Like the girl she is, her eyes are watering and she's going to have to sign a bit to catch her breath. It's morbid to read and while this is just a lot to consume, it's not evidence. It's not incriminating. Definitely shuffles the papers back under his pillow. ]

Right... Right. It's invasive of us and I won't mention it.

[ Elizabeth isn't good at crimes unlike Jason!!! So she forgoes it and instead sits on the edge of the bed to catch her barings. ]

There was nothing so far on my end.

[yeah see there's actually like a head inside the shelving space. it's super gross--

ok no, jk y'all, nothing of interest.]

[antagonize]

[Wow. Nothing of interest. Truly the most damning evidence.

He'll check the trash, too, just in case, but... There's probably nothing there? Looks like Hancock might be in the clear as far as obviously incriminating items go.]

Nothing so far on my end, either. Guess your friend didn't do it. Or he's just smart enough not to stash anything in his room.

[brooches]

Do you think he'd be as daft as to have his alibi align closely to the murder at the murder location and keep things here? If Hancock was responsible, it would be clear as such.

[ But, she's going to stand up and give Jason a serious look. ]

Thank you for assisting me with this. It means a lot.

[ Her eyes had dried up (mainly by her own rubbing) so its back to business. ]

If there's nothing else, let's head back.

[isodope]

[Only thing in the trash are crumbled up paper balls. All of which, if checked, are just drafts of the will.]

[antagonize]

Calm down. For what it's worth, I don't think he did it. [... At this point, anyway. Not without better evidence. But he's not saying that.

ANYWAY. Pointedly ignoring that thank you and moving away from the trash. Because he is an adult. Who handles getting thanked for things like this like an adult does. Ugh.]

Yeah, doesn't look like there's anything else. Let's skedaddle.
