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.

[ BUT JACK BAITED THEM, ADELINA. HE BAITED THEM!!! ]

No, he wants someone to drink it. Fine. I'll do it. Liz got brought into his madness for no reason, I was already there.

[bloodbiter]

Why are you listening to what he of all people wants? He clearly has deep psychological issues!

I will not allow you to make this situation more upsetting for everyone by getting yourself killed.

[jackhole]

[ AHHHHHHH letting out a frustrated yell here ]

None of you get it! He's the biggest threat on this ship and you all underestimate him and now look at what he's doing to her! He did the same thing to me! If it takes me dying to get everyone to stop listening to him, fine. Whatever!

[bloodbiter]

If you just help convince her not to drink it instead of being absolutely ridiculous, then nobody will be listening to him! You being killed fixes nothing!

[jackhole]

[ have a very stressed out look here, adelina ]

But I'm going to die anyway. I might as well help.

[bloodbiter]

I don't know what is wrong with you that you somehow think this would be helping in any way, shape, or form, but I will incapacitate you if need be.

[sighs!!]

If you need to leave to find whatever it is you idiotically took from him, have you tried telling Alice that you want to check an area for important evidence instead of uselessly whining at her?

[jackhole]

[ throwing his arms in the air ]

She knows that's what I need to go look for. It's in his god damn alibi! She's just being awful because she hates me.

[tevinteriscoming]

No one is drinking the wine.

And none of this is related to the trial, particularly, unless it has to do with how Hancock was poisoned. Can we please test the glass, and then after the trial, we will listen to you with respect to Jack all you would like? The bonus is that no one additional needs to die to prove a point about it.

[jackhole]

He wants to make her drink poisoned wine! I mean, it's probably poisoned. And she was going to do it! Because that's what Jack does to people and, and, and --

[ good lord this cyborg man is hysterical ]

... You swear you'll listen to me?

[tevinteriscoming]

[What the hell has he gotten himself into.]

Yes, and neither you nor Elizabeth should be listening to him. But after the trial, I swear I will hear you out.

[jackhole]

I know. I didn't notice how close they had gotten or I'd have -- I don't know. But you have to listen to me! After all of this, please, because he's going to kill me and I need people to know he's not safe. Especially not after last week.

[ he honestly thought being nice to jack would be the better idea here. now, he regrets. ]

[tevinteriscoming]

He isn't going to kill you. He'd have to do it publicly, and we won't allow him to. But yes, let's speak. If he's a threat as you say, we ought to know about it.

[breakshot]

I can't believe this is seriously being suggested.

[ Machias? He's already getting a headache from all this. Save him, Adelina. You're the only other sane teenager here! ]

If he's that dead set on being an idiot and killing himself, then let's keep in mind we've got a couple here with medical experience. Some trained professionals and hopefully with enough experience to save him from himself. Probably.

[tevinteriscoming]

No one is going to drink the wine!

[breakshot]

Of course not. He'd die! Do you really think I'm insane enough to actually want to go along with that plan?!

[bloodbiter]

That does not make this a viable option! Do not make him think it is acceptable because he may receive medical attention.

[breakshot]

Of course it's not acceptable!

We should be stopping him first before he actually does it! And at this point, it looks like he might actually do it...!
