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.

He has also admitted how much the process would drain him. I'm sure Machias can testify as to his state after he helped him recover his memories if we need to verify that.

[bloodbiter]

Does his testimony disprove the idea that he could have rested after he did so?

[erythristic]

When would he have had the time to do so?

[bloodbiter]

I don't - know. He claims he was in his room from 10 until 6 in the morning. She left her room at 2... Nobody saw him before 8.

[bites her lip]

[erythristic]

And the only person who could verify her location is dead.

[this doesn't look good for either of them.]

[bloodbiter]

We have to be missing something. Neither of them... I mean, it could be either of them. I don't know.

[breakshot]

I remember well enough - he was absolutely exhausted. He went to rest almost immediately after the trial came to a close.

Let's not forget I also met up with him that Friday morning to help him treat Clover's injuries, and he did not look exhausted then. If not Clover herself, then I think I would have noticed.

...And who of the two would have the greatest motive?

Nightmares are terrible creatures of the mind, even if they be but illusions. The motive was too strong for her to resist and clearly she succumbed to it. Captive, in her nightmares... what else was waiting for her in reality but a similar position she feared she would be trapped within?

Of course she'd deny her involvement. How far would you go to attain freedom?

[bloodbiter]

You don't know that. All of that is your own assumption.

She could have invented a hundred reasons as to why she touched the bottle. It would have been easy to lie. Why would she not say something better than "I do not know" if she had lied about everything else up until this point?

[thanatosincarnate]

And yet we have no guarantee she could be leading us on by relying on us to believe every word she says. You assume as well on your own part.
