trial #2

[judgejudy]

DAY 4 (afternoon) Complex Population: 32 At noon, the same tone from the morning rings out, and Judy's voice filters out over the intercom. "Good afternoon, residents. As per Safety Protocol 6227-A, it is time to conduct a trial to bring justice for the victim. Please proceed to the courtroom on the first level." Just as at night, if you don't go to the courtroom, you'll be treated to an electric shock of increasing strength until you go to the courtroom or are unconscious. Though considering the ominous penalty for not participating in a trial, you should likely just go rather than risk not voting because you've been knocked out by your own stubbornness... Once you're in the courtroom, you'll find that bottled water and light snacks are provided, but otherwise you'll have to bring anything else you may need. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can step into the judgement theater to cast your vote at the terminal. You may change your vote as many times as you'd like, but at 7PM, your vote (or lack thereof) is locked in. You have until 7PM to discuss and vote for who you think the murderer is. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/15. voting

[Well...]

There was blood found on one of the terminals in the workshop, wasn't there? It's not implausible.

[selfsufficiency]

...so then, who here has the know-how to try and take apart the monitors and build something from them?

[FROWNS... her first thought it "Rhys" because robots, but...]

[tearable]

We only have access to certain parts of this place. We've all seemingly used the terminals are some point, but that one was hidden until... well, the doors became unlocked.

[ Elizabeth thinks hard on it for a second. As Angel said, the blood was a good indication. ]

Could that terminal hide something as well that would assist someone in building?

[selfsufficiency]

...maybe.

[It's definitely a possibility. Alice pauses to think about it, then pauses even longer to deal with a coughing fit, then speaks up again.]

I don't really know enough about the terminals to be able to tell. If there's someone with that kind of knowledge who we think we can trust, we could ask them.

[tearable]

The staff seem to have a way to avoid falling asleep if the murders are happening at night. They have advantages we do not. This many locked doors, I have no doubt they have some... some passcode? It's a horrible assumption that they're able to bring a victim somewhere and slaughter them, but -

[ The terminal. ]

Maybe we could ask Judy? Doubt it'll prove much but if we know there's something hidden in the terminals, we could be able to narrow down the field a bit.

...Best case scenario, you know.

[selfsufficiency]

Asking her isn't a bad idea. There seems to be a limit as to what she can and can't tell us, but it's at least somewhere to start.

[Alice shrugs.]

Since I don't know anything about that kind of technology, why don't you ask her? You'd probably understand the answer better than me.

[tearable]

Alright, don't worry. I'll ask her.

[ Because now Liz is doing other people's bidding, what the fuck? ]

[selfsufficiency]

Thanks! ♡

[Wow, people should hit her with glass more often if this is going to be what happens.]

[injectors]

I'm not sure if they were trying to take it apart — in a literal sense, anyway. The terminals were relatively intact, and we know they've taken two ankle monitors by now. Perhaps they were trying to access the data inside the monitors, instead. Or there's something hidden inside the terminals we don't know about.

[Of course, this theory would incriminate anyone with anything computer related on their profile... including herself. But if it helps even the slightest bit, it's worth it.]

[selfsufficiency]

Maybe. Can they do that?

[...well, if they're monitoring things, there has to be some way to access the data.]

I guess, if they are staff members, they'd have to be able to... how can we find out? Do you think we might be able to guess what they were doing and replicate it?

[injectors]

We might. But we won't know until we try. First, we would need an ankle monitor to attempt to guess and replicate what they were doing. There is no easy way around that.

[A pause, and then. Well.]

... Though, I don't believe that'll be a problem after tonight's execution.

[If you get what she's saying, Alice.]

[selfsufficiency]

[Alice smiles, and it's not an altogether pleasant sight.]

If they pick me to be the executioner, I'll be sure to try and take an ankle monitor back with me. ♡

[injectors]

Thank you.

[Her "friends" are bloodthirsty Vault Hunters. This is fine.]

If not, there's always the matter of disposing the corpse.

[selfsufficiency]

Oh, right! We'd be able to get it then, too!

[...she says, cheerfully.]

[jackhole]

[ oh hey wtf @ this shade. he's a robot lover, not a robot killer okay

or ... child killer?? the point is he bangs robots ]
