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.

Hey, um. I'm sorry if this has been brought up yet, but the doctor. He has the ability to mess with memories, doesn't he? He did something to Machias when Allen died.

I'm really trying to think here, so it's only a thought. But can he tamper with memories? Then the alibis, if there isn't proof of them, they...

[breakshot]

I...

[ Well, he can't not speak up if someone's bringing up something he was involved in, but he's not sure he likes the sound of this. Still, he'll answer honestly. ]

... Yes, Frankenstein did help me recover some memories from what happened. However, I think I should note it was only some of them, not all. Other than that, you'll have to ask him yourself.

[jackhole]

Okay, but Jack is literally an AI and has possessed me in the past. Jack probably did the same thing to Liz if she had any way to get into her system and could definitely manipulate her.

[refactor]

[ Okay, this grudgewank is getting ridiculous, so Jack rolls his eyes here. ROUND 3/???? PUNK ]

Okay, now you're just friggin' rambling. It doesn't work like that, kiddo. Hell, I'm not even an AI anymore, in case you haven't, y'know, noticed. No way to possess people when I'm not data. And I couldn't possess anyone without tech anyways?

[jackhole]

[ BUT HE HAS TO GRUDGE TO SAVE HIS LIFE ]

You're still an AI though! Super untrustworthy! Alice is an AI and look what she's doing to us.

[ rhys is way paler than he should be at this point ]

[muties]

Hey, not all AIs are assholes. I knew one that was a decent flirt LARPer.

[jackhole]

And I have two kids --- well, not really kids, but sort of kids? I don't know, we're really close. I feel parental. -- That are AIs. That doesn't mean Jack and Alice don't suck!

[muties]

[ is there anyone here who isn't a parent at this point ]

Fair point, but that doesn't prove Jack y'know did the murder. Which is what's most important here, not who's the biggest asshole.

[refactor]

[ Jack laughs, then tilts his head to the side lightly as he really seems to be watching Rhys's reactions here. ]

Prettyyyyy flimsy defense though, kiddo. What? Getting nervous?

[jackhole]

[ there's a breath. once. twice.

and then rhys rolls back in his chair and bends over to hurl all over the floor. thanks, everyone! ]

[bloodteller]

[ ... putting aside how gross that is ]

I don't think Elizabeth has a system, Rhys?

[jackhole]

[ AHHH WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING HIM why is no one helping him ]

Someone then. Possess a robot, get the robot to give the wine to Hancock. Courtesy of Alice! I don't care, he's a god damn AI and please just kill him.

[bloodteller]

He isn't an AI. I brought him tea last night and he drank it! AIs can't do that, can they?

[jackhole]

They put him in a real body for this game.

[unasking]

At this point I could almost get the idea that you like me.

Or should I just be impressed that your vendetta against Jack runs this deep?

[jackhole]

[ gestures uselessly ]

I don't even remember your name most of the time! Jack has to go, he has to.

[unasking]

Because he might hit you with another chair if he doesn't? But you stabbed him, didn't you? His anger might be at least partially justified.

[jackhole]

You're fucking stupid, you know that? It's because he's going to kill me. I keep saying that and no one gets it. Jack is going to kill me. Why doesn't anyone believe me?

[unasking]

Only once a day and on one person, else I grow rather weak and that's hardly the condition I want to be on in this ship. It's considerably more difficult and not at all to the full extent that I'm capable of normally, as it is for others present here.

[bloodteller]

So you could have used someone to do this, Right?

[ just to be thorough. ]

Also, can you make people forget if they did something...?

[unasking]

Used someone...? In what sense?

[You'll have to clarify. That said-]

Though yes, theoretically I would be able to just wipe someone's memories clean entirely without replacing anything. From what I hear, it's just a blank space to them.

[bloodteller]

[ a blank space... she considers it for a moment. ]

You could get someone to commit the murder for you and wipe their memories, couldn't you. It's what I meant... using someone like that.

[unasking]

I'm not sure how I could get someone to commit a murder since I'm unable to control minds here.

[A tilt of his head.]

However I've already said that I can wipe memories. In regards to that, you are correct. I see no point in lying about it.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

It´s possible. There´s not that much of a jump between restoring and tampering with them.

But it would leave him very tired, I mean exhausted! Did he seem remotely tired after the bodies were found?

‹small›Speaking from experience!‹/small›

[bloodteller]

I think it's possible he hid it well. Since he's a doctor, I think he would smart enough to. After all, if he was exhausted that day, people would notice, and it would look suspicious when he was questioned. All he had to do was help with the bodies, and then rest up to be ready for all of... this.
