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.

I can't read minds here. Apparently that was something that was deemed unsuitable for me to be capable of. It's really quite irritating, to think that a skill I worked so hard to acquire is just gone...

[A sigh.

But he digresses.]

I would be tired after altering memories probably - even extended amounts of restoring memories has proven to be rather taxing on me.

[nod]

...You can just learn to read minds? Like that's a course at your local community center or something? Why is literally everyone's world more interesting than mine.

[unasking]

I've had a lot of time to learn a lot of things, my friend.

Though I learned during a time where it was vastly more difficult to get information.

[todorable]

I'm pretty sure there's not a wiki about how to read minds. ...Not a reliable one, anyway.

Things'd sure be easier if you could just mutant power mindread all the culprits, though.

[unasking]

Don't talk to me about the laziness of Wikipedia.

[HE ACTUALLY HATES IT....

A shake of his head, movING ON.]

But trust me, I've had the same thought.

[todorable]

[ha ha he was thinking more like about.com]

Any shortcuts? Who do you think did it?

[unasking]

At this point? I surmise it to be Jack or Fumi.

I'm not sure if Elizabeth would have it in her to leave out a machine that would violently mow down anyone who happened upon it in the medical bay.

As for Clover - the fact that she's a suspect is offensive and disgusting.

[todorable]

Yeah. I feel like anyone who suggested Clover--they don't have a sibling they're close to, anyway.

Why would you think Fumi? Why didn't you invite her to breakfast with you, come to think of it? Since she and Harold are...

[unasking]

I specifically owed Harold a favor after wrongfully placing her life in danger this most recent trial. If I had known that they were together beforehand, I would've made something for Fumi too.

[todorable]

[nods]

It's pretty rough, being stuck with cubes when your special someone is having a gourmet meal. If you're even half as good at cooking as you are making beds, then...

[unasking]

[Well, that manages to get him to smile.]

Provided that yesterday wasn't my last dinner, allow me to treat you to a taste this week. I've almost missed cooking meals for more than one.

[todorable]

[which is exactly what he was aiming for

unless he killed a dude but you know

gotta hedge your bets]

That wouldn't be bad at all. Provided that yesterday wasn't your last dinner.
