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.

At eight? Everyone was still awake then, I don't think there's any way they could have gotten his body up there without anyone noticing unless the killer had the invisibility cloak or used the vents. And before you ask, I am not shoving a corpse through the vents to see how long it would take!

Maybe not. But we still don't know how the killer was able to get the fireproof suit in and out....

Monsieur Dorian suggested it could have been a trap in the archives that didn't work, or something that spooked him into going back to his room....

[Shrugging.] Yeah, no clue about that one. Probably easier to hide than a freaking body, though.

What, and he didn't bother warning anyone else? There were other people on the vulnerable list too, you know! [GRUMBLING GRUMBLING okay but Judar you barely talked to the guy and honestly would be doing the world a favor if you got offed so shut up]

It sounds absurd, but on the other hand...

[How do you nicely say it was Arumat.]

I once saw him taking a nap in the archives mid-week. He was a very confident and independent man.
douchemag: (whatever)

[personal profile] douchemag 2016-07-31 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's just rude. [LIKE HE HAS ANY ROOM TO TALK...]

Maybe someone snuck up on him when he was napping down there then and he was too embarrassed to admit he got so caught off guard.
missmaladroite: (The lonely people)

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He, er, when I saw him, he had a book with him... I couldn't make it out, but...
douchemag: (eh?)

[personal profile] douchemag 2016-07-31 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay well that's...startling]

Uh...so he really was into that sort of shit? Or...the killer used a book on male pregnancy as a trap? [what the fuck this is too weird even for him]
missmaladroite: (I'd be the one?)

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe there was something else there. Some pages were missing, right? They could have been, er, relevant... to something.
douchemag: (disgusted)

[personal profile] douchemag 2016-07-31 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
How? Unless we're saying the killer knocked him up, I'm not seeing how any of that nasty shit could be relevant!

And I didn't notice any pages ripped out, just the book being kind of burnt. Not that I was looking that closely.
tevinteriscoming: (concerned. 2)

[personal profile] tevinteriscoming 2016-07-31 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It...wouldn't utterly shock me.

[Though he doesn't laugh because a man is dead.]
douchemag: (fucking nerd)

[personal profile] douchemag 2016-07-31 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't laugh either just because he is still sulking over no one warning him, but he will let out an amused snort.]

If that's the case, we're looking for a killer who's stupid enough to fuck up a trap even though their victim's right there. But who's...also sneaky enough to follow him back without getting noticed? What the fuck.
