WEEK SIX - TRIAL DAY TWO

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (6)

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO (29) 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.

[Once the 9AM alarm has rung and all players have awakened, the statue in the alcove in the back of the room chimes gently. Holographic water begins pouring out of the jug the statue is carrying, forming the shimmering image of a vaguely feminine figure made out of liquid.]

Greetings, participants. I hope you are all feeling refreshed after last night's rest. As always, I am at your disposal should you need to ask anything. Good luck.

[The holographic image will remain throughout the trial. You're free to ask her whatever you want, though whether she'll answer is a different question entirely.]

[jackhole]

[ rhys is the human embodiment of waste her time 2k16 so he has a question, again. ]

Will you let me go now, Alice?

[al2955]

Must we do this song and dance again, Rhys? I am afraid I do not have the capacity to even dance, though I certainly could play a nice song for you.

[jackhole]

Yeah, we're doing the god damn song and dance again. You know I didn't kill anyone! What if I just -- I'll just slap down a vote, get it over with.

[ he's going to pick up his tablet to do just that too, and once he's done, he wags it at her. ]

And I don't trust your taste in music!

[al2955]

And why is that? Here is a song that always reminds me of you, Rhys.

[ and a song sure plays. ]

[jackhole]

[ are you kidding him ]

I honestly, truly hate you, Alice.

[allout]

Hey, Alice. I have a question.

[ she might have been silent for the past half of the trial, but that doesn't mean she hasn't been listening. she's forming her own theories, which leads her to ask: ]

If we think that there's two culprits, does that mean we get two votes?

[al2955]

If you would like, you could attempt to force a tie in votes. However, if there is a large enough motion for two votes, you may receive the ability to make two separate votes, and the two with the majority will be retired.

Please keep in mind that if you do attempt to pursue a double vote, you will not be able to back out. Two suspects will be retired no matter what.

[antagonize]

Hey, Alice. Think we could get an unopened bottle of the wine we found in Hancock's room, as well as a syringe?

[He'll even say please and thank you, okay.]

[al2955]

Very well, Jason. A robot shall bring them to you shortly. Try not to throw it in anyone's face this time.

[antagonize]

Duly noted. Thanks.

[ALRIGHT. Time to test a theory.

Once he gets the bottle and syringe, he'll try sticking the latter through the bottle's cork. Does the needle go past the cork, or...?]

[al2955]

[It goes past the cork pretty easily.]

[thanatosincarnate]

ALICE, I have an inquiry.

How long does it take for the incinerator to complete its cycle until it finishes or shuts back down? Or may the time its on for until shut down be controlled via the control panel?
