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.

DAY ONE TRIAL END

[al2955]

[ At 7PM on the dot, the ritual from last trial is repeated; the screens phase away, as if powered down without warning. The corpse is closed off, the door shut nice and tight, and the same is done with the evidence case. Should anyone attempt to get into either of them, they would find it wholly impossible: the trial is put on hold for some rest, once again. ]

It is 7PM, participants. As usual, the trial shall be placed on hold until the morning. Dinner will be held in this room, like last trial. Please do not stab the robots. They will take your order and bring it out to you. They cannot do this if they are damaged. To ensure that there will be no tampering with the evidence, all participants are to remain in this room. Blankets and entertainment shall be provided shortly, and should you find a change of clothes necessary, that can also be arranged.

[ A few moments later, the screens and tablets are on again, this time providing a selection of all the Star Wars films, and retro gaming. Anyone who leaves will be accompanied by a robot, and then ushered back into the conference room. You're stuck in a sleepover with the corpse near you again, it seems.

Feel free to thread out any of the evening's interactions here. ]

[ Adam has some pizza beside him but he's barely touched it because he's very busily copying the vent map down onto some pieces of paper he has. It's probably going to take him a while to do this but he has all night.

Feel free to steal his food. ]

{ Here he is, minding his own business. At the earlier part of the evening, he can be seen examining one of the movies, looking like he might decide to play it. When he does turn one on, he doesn't bother actually... do much watching or paying attention. Instead he just stares, as its still left on the title screen, and he's lost in thought.

That doesn't change as the night carries on, and he'll just keep to himself as much as he prefers. Although eventually he'll shut off the movie, wishing for some peace and quiet instead, despite whatever commotion people still will be making. }

[ Machias is off in his usual corner, covered up in the blanket he received as a gift earlier and tending to his own wounds. The painful sting as he carefully changes the dressing spells it clear: he really should have spent this day resting, but it just didn't sit well with him to do nothing.

After that, he'll just try to concentrate on getting some rest, however difficult that may be. If someone opts to play Star Wars, his attention might be grabbed for a moment upon catching a glimpse of the lightsabers. ... Grabbed might be an understatement - he looks downright entranced with the films as a whole. ]
