62 | trial #2

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.

Isn't that the obvious goal, Jeff? As to why it's a goal, who knows, but it's already apparent.

[ she ticks things off on her fingers as she goes. ]

There's a program in place for a murder trial...and they're already aware of bugs, implying it has already seen use before. Death occurred very soon after we all awoke, and a second one has come, too. It's not one of us doing it for fun, because that would be a silly thing to do without any impetus, of which none has been given. So, the people murdering are connected to this place, right? This "Staff". And given no statement has been given, we can assume they will continue as they are.

However, if they are a limited number, our best option is probably to simply kill all of them before they kill all of us...or something.

... This is... this is crazy! It doesn't make any sense at all!

[He's helping.]

Well, think up a better explanation, then.

... I didn't say it was wrong.

Just that it's totally crazy.

...Why on earth did you imagine it wouldn't be? Whoever did this kidnapped a frankly ridiculous group of persons solely to do whatever it is. Of course the answer isn't a sane one.
