WEEK SIX - TRIAL DAY TWO

[al2955]

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.

That doesn't mean she would poison him, and then admit easily that she was with him in his room. I doubt anyone here could be that foolish.

[todorable]

It worked, didn't it? If you're just talking alibis, she's placed near the dead guys and the poison. So maybe it's coincidence, but maybe it's her being clever. Clover's brother died in front of her and people were more ready to jump on her as a suspect. Don't you think that's strange?

[bloodbiter]

Of course I think it's strange that people assumed Clover could have done it. I didn't think anyone here could be that foolish.

[but she knows that isn't what he meant, so. moving on.]

So your theory is that she poisoned him somehow while he was in the room with her, then realized it would not work, went to the art storage room to take a pair of gloves, obtain the poison ivy and the turret, placed the turret in the medical bay, activated the turret, spread the ivy over Clover's door, then went to the incinerator to dispose of the incriminating materials?

Do you honestly think she would have time to do so?

[todorable]

She said she didn't sleep, so timing isn't really an issue, is it? It's not like Hancock can argue if she left a few minutes earlier than she said.

...But no, I don't know if I think that's how it happened. I can't imagine Elizabeth thinking of a turret in the first place, to be honest. Maybe there was more than one person at work here.

[chiseler]

...well, she did leave Hancock's room at 6am or so and Light was killed at 9:30. So it's not like she didn't have that much time.

[A pause.] Plus she says she went to the chapel to pray. I don't know much about normal religion but don't people also go to churches to ask for forgiveness...? Maybe it's because she was feeling guilty.

[Look nobody can escape any kind of possibilities here.]
