WEEK 7 - Trial Day Two

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

sunday TRIAL DAY TWO (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.

Let's focus on what we've managed to figure out thus far:

The killer's choice of item from the vulnerable too list was the ventilation map and it was disposed of in the incinerator along with two other objects. This conclusion is made due to the fact that the ventilation map is color-coded, and the small burnt piece of paper is colored on one side as well. It helped them be able to navigate themselves around the rooms with relative ease in order to help with their set up of killing Fumi. In addition, no other wounds were found on Fumi's body even after an investigation, meaning it is just the head blow that dealt any damage to her which happened to be the killing blow as well.

Jason and Luke performed a ridiculous phallic object test in the vents to attempt to find out what made the sound in the vents when I and Luke were nearby the cafeteria -- they discovered that objects being dragged around like that did not accurate replicate the noise. Personally, I believe the sound came from a person, not some random object being dragged around.

Dorian made a timeline of the suspects' alibis and events that is worth considering. Especially once we figure out more details of the case.

The suspects, along with Marinette, raced through the vents themselves to determine how fast they could have ran to the respective areas of the ship utilized in the murder. From the kitchen to the pod room: Marinette took 6 minutes, Adrien 8, Shelley 9, Roxy 10, Emily 11, and Judar 13.

From kitchen to the garbage room Marinette made it in 20 minutes, Adrien 23, Shelley 24, Roxy 25, Emily 27, and Judar took a whole half an hour.

{ Judar, get in shape man. }

There are still matters we need to figure out.

First, is the order of events so that we can narrow down the time the culprit was active in the duration of the murder and be able to eliminate anymore suspects. After all, we know that that the incinerator was on around 7:15 AM when Shelley and Jessie arrived. It may be good to reiterate that the incinerator takes 10 minutes to turn on.

{ Someone else can ask the AI about clarification because he hates asking the AI things. Sorry not sorry. }

In addition it'll be pivotal to discover what other objects were burned in the garbage room, how the killer set off the string trap in the kitchen, and how quickly events went down once the plan was set into motion.

...For the twine. What if someone was using a pulley system for it?

[and someone give her a whiteboard marker because she is doing a quick sketch of the image in her head.]

The metal object we've been discussing doesn't seem to be anything we've found on the ship so far, and given its fragility, the twine would need some sort of support to assist the monitor in getting to the height we're assuming it was at.

[thanatosincarnate]

{ He paused, considering her proposal. }

That sounds reasonable, and something like that seems unorthodox enough that it may have come from the mystery box itself. If we're considering the paper could have been from the structure from the mystery box as well, that is, and it'd also make us able to conclude where the metal came from.

{ ... }

Time to see if ALICE will feel generous enough.

{ Because he'll plan on asking her about the mystery box. Give him strength. }

[erythristic]

Arumat.

[she'll stop him before he takes one step away.]

Be a little more courteous towards Lady Alice, and she might be more inclined.

[don't think your grumping at Alice has escaped her.]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ He'll grunt, irritated. }

I'll be civil.

{ There. Good enough?? That's...courteous right? }
