WEEK 7 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (7)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (24) 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.

Elucidation on Crime scene/body + Observations + Wet Sink

[thanatosincarnate]

EVIDENTIAL REPORT

At approximately 7AM, I headed down to the cafeteria due to already being awake, and noticed the door was forcibly blocked from entry. Luke joined shortly-- Luke and I observed Fumi Kanno propped up against the kitchen counter while she lay on the floor. Due to the fact we could only see through the small, grease-stained kitchen window only her top half was visible.

Then, there was a commotion in the vents that took our attention away from the state of her body. The first chance we were able to look back we noticed that Fumi's body had moved to the point it was out of sight. Adelina came to join us and assist in battering the kitchen door down, and it was discovered several chairs were used to keep the door shut.

I observed Fumi's body was now positioned beneath the cabinets, and that some string hung loosely around her person--and not a single part of her was wrapped in it. Her body was warm, indicating she had only recently died and there were no obvious wounds. A broken, bloodstained monitor lay close beside her, likely used to murder her by smashing the back of her head with it somehow given the wound she sustained to the back of her head.

The sink was wet, indicating someone recently used it. Subsequent reports incoming from Adelina and Luke of their own findings as well as additional information. That is all.

Adelina and I left Arumat to check out the crime scene because we wanted to make sure the vents weren't still inhabited by whatever. Only thing I really have to note is that the door had some tape on it and the window had some weird sticky stuff on it. Probably from tape that ripped away? There was a piece of string taped to the door that was snapped off at the end. There was also the string around the monitor with the end snapped off. Adelina can give more detail about the string itself and what kind of string it was.

Also whatever we heard in the vents had disappeared and it's way too hard to tell where things go without a map.

The string was a piece of twine from an embroidery kit that I requested from Alice several weeks ago. It's kept in public in the viewport for anyone to use as they please.
