WEEK 8 - Trial Day Two

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (8)

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO (22) 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.

Findings

[al2955]

The display case to the left of the conference table houses all the evidence that has been found during the investigation so far. Below each piece of evidence is a tablet where players can label the piece and type up any notes they may have about it. There are also empty slots with blank tablets for any evidence or information that may be found during the trial.

All evidence and other information found during the course of investigation should be listed here.

Previous findings here.

fire test

[antagonize]

Tried setting another fireproof suit on fire with Dorian, Adrien and Marinette. We put the universal keycard in the same pocket Clover found it, too.
Dorian's magic left scorch marks on the suit but didn't do shit to the card. The scorch marks were also different from the ones on the original suit.
Clover helped us test Arumat's scythe on suit suit to see if it's laserproof as well as fireproof.
Turns out taking a single hit from Arumat's weapon slices through the suit pretty easily. It didn't melt the card, either.
Putting the card on the stove DID melt it, however. It looked similar to the melted plastic in the original suit, so it's safe to say the card was used.

adam's room

[todorable]

Adam's room was clean enough and his lotion is very nice. Other than that, our motto was the most interesting thing going on in there.

Jessie and Todomatsu

bull's room

[antagonize]

Nothing suspicious in Iron Bull's room.
Unless you count a complete and total lack of regard for SAFE SEX suspicious.
Adrien and I didn't find even a single condom wrapper.
That's fucking alarming.
If both of them wind up innocent, I'd suggest looking into pre-natal care.
We've gotta think of the baby, right?

Luke's Room

[bloodbiter]

We found several things in Luke's room. Here is what stood out the most.

There was a journal with notes in a strange language that I have no familiarity with. Perhaps someone can look over it and translate it for us? We also found a piece of paper with the words "A half-blood of the eldest gods shall reach sixteen against all odds. And see the world in endless sleep, the hero’s soul". It appears to have been cut off midsentence.

We found another sheet of paper that had a list of motives, suspects, murderers, and his thoughts. The entry for this week reads as follows:

(23) "If you produce a skeleton for me — that is, if you kill this week — then I will not reveal your most well-kept secret. If you do not, then come Monday, I will announce it to the world. To the ship, specifically, but also to your loved ones. Your families. Your enemies."

Funny, I think the world knows. But wonder what the ship would think of me if they knew just what I could do...but I made a promise.

[antagonize]

If it's a language from Earth then I might be able to take a stab at it. Could even cobble up a rough translation depending on what it is.

[Because if it's Russian then he's screwed?? But, whatever. Time to air out Luke's dirty laundry.]

[chiseler]

Can we not? [Fuck you? Fuck this? NO???] If you really wanna know that bad I can just translate it myself.

[Jason do you even know Greek. I mean probably because batkids are weird that way but.]

[antagonize]

What's the matter? Did Adelina and Marinette dig up your diary? How embarrassing. But, y'know, it's pretty damn shady if you don't let someone else handle the translation.

[He knows Greek, but does anybody else? Sorry but not sorry, Luke. This isn't the time to be shady.]

[chiseler]

What kind of guy do you think I am? I haven't kept a diary since I was fourteen. [He's already getting to his feet.] Fine, I'll go get the thing. Any other requests?

[antagonize]

Didn't I tell you last night? We're all just a bunch of strangers. I don't know shit.

[He shrugs. What can you do, right?]

Go fetch me a soda while you're at it. Airing out people's dirty laundry always works up quite a thirst.

[a s s h o l e.]

[chiseler]

I can't promise I won't spit in it. [He sounds way too cheerful about that and off he goes. To go get his diary.

Ah well, he'll be back shortly and there's definitely a open bottle of soda he's shoving at Jason along with his book. He's even been nice and brought along a sheet of paper and a pen for him to translate.] How many ancient languages do you know?

[Look, it's a nice filler tag while I write up wtf is in the journal.]

[antagonize]

A couple.

[Insert typical batkid vague vagueness. Jason will set the soda aside for the moment, not sure if the risk of spit is worth it or not. Once the book is in his hands, however, he'll open it. Stare at it. Squint. Huff out a laugh, almost in disbelief.]

... And more than enough to recognize Greek when I see it. Really. You wrote a whole journal in Greek. Couldn't have picked another language, could you?

[Is Luke a huge nerd?? Survey says yes.

Either way, Jason will start a rough translation. Godspeed, brave filler comment.]

[chiseler]

Could’ve, but Greek’s kinda what’s hardwired for us. [It’s a pretty simple response and he sits back to watch Jason get to work.

With a little time and effort, Jason Todd will be able to translate...a bunch of bullshit. These things are written but there are no dates so have fun with that.

…Jason if you really thought you were getting anything useful you are sorely mistaken. Luke, unfortunately, is a little smarter than that.]

[antagonize]

For "us", who? For you Greeks? Don't tell me we have another fossil on the ship and I failed to notice.

[Of course, he wasn't expecting anything useful. Maybe something to make fun of him over, but. This is just kind of. Weird. And sad. And a lot of bullshit.

He's closing the book as soon as he's finished.]

Whoop, not relevant. You can have it back. [Tossing it at him. Literally.] Go ahead and write another entry over ice cream or something. Gossip about all the hot boys and girls.

[Another Timeline]

let's burn the mpreg: electric boogaloo

[breakshot]

[ UGH so at some prodding, Machias is hauling himself back to the library to go check shit. And just because he can, he's taking every male pregnancy related book and putting sticky notes on the inside saying "MARKED FOR INCINERATION".

Is he going to find anything off on this brave quest? Aside from 50 Shades Darker: mpreg edition. ]

[al2955]

[THERE'S NO SHELF FULL OF MPREG BOOKS I'M PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN ON THIS but there is a shelf towards the back of the room dedicated solely to compendiums of odd medical cases throughout the galaxy. There's a whole lot of them, enough that the books are tightly squeezed together.

One of the books stands out though - the book at the very end of the shelf seems to be a fictional one about...vampire romances?]

[breakshot]

[ wherever that one mpreg book came from, the spot where it sat is getting marked for incineration too he's on a mission. wait, that doesn't look like an odd mpreg book what the hell. ]

... Tell me it isn't.

[ unfortunately twilight does exist in his world AND HE HAS HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF TWILIGHT RED MOON ROSE. Nevermind the fact YA fiction of all things is chilling out in the odd medical section?! Just because he can, he's going to take them out and mark these for incineration too. ... Okay, he's going to check first, then mark for incineration. ]

[al2955]

[Yeah, it's Twilight. All 8 books in one handy volume, how convenient!

The moment he removes the book, he'll notice that the shelf underneath it is scorched - it looks similar to the marks left in Arumat's room. The back cover of the book next to it has been singed as well.]

[breakshot]

What in Aidios' name...

[ Okay. Alice definitely did not mark these books for incineration ahead of him, did she? Let's check the shelf: aside from being similar, is it warped in any way too? Let's pull out that other book too and have a look. Just the back cover that's singed? How about the inside? Or the rest of the book? ]

[al2955]

[It's just the back cover that's singed. The shelf's slightly warped from heat the same way the wall in Arumat's room was. The inside of the shelf that the Twilight book had been nestled up against is also similarly scorched.]

[breakshot]

[ good to know and JUST BECAUSE this apparently might be #important he's going to check the section the twilight collection is supposed to go. anything off there? aside from bullshit vampire marriage and pregnancy and the fact team jacob was far better. ]

[al2955]

[Nope, nothing off! The books aren't as tightly shelved as the mpreg shelf, so there's enough space between them to fit the missing book, but otherwise it looks fine. Enjoy all the fifty Twilight spinoffs in that section.]

[breakshot]

[ just going to mark these for incineration pay no mind

Okay, because it's probably a good idea, he's going to bring Yuno back with him because she'd probably remember where she'd left her stuff. And going on a goose chase across the archives would probably waste more time too if we don't know where to look. ]

Here we are. Do you remember where you left the book?
