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

It'll definitely save us time if we have to do another trial anytime soon. [He can appreciate it honestly, he sure does enjoy not being confused. On the other hand, he doesn't like that question very much.]

Ms. Von Karma came up with a list of suspects she seems to think logically fit, but that's also mostly focusing on the case from last time. We haven't really decided who could be behind this one. A lot of people seemed to be leaning toward possibly someone who knows about technology because of the ties with the ankle monitor things. Which is possible. I can't think of what they'd want to do with them though, can you?

You, Elizabeth, and Lara, correct?

I don't know how much we can rely on the case from last time. Certainly, some information carries over, but we should try our best to solve this case as well. Though this is hardly an actual "murder case" as one would consider in the traditional, legal sense. I have yet to see a proper CSI: Complex team.

As for technology... I don't know. If the person were staff, I would think it possible for someone from any era to be taught about technology without us knowing, correct? As for what they would do with them... hm. Tracking equipment? An attempt to triangulate our location? I'm not entirely sure, but it's possible. A lot of things are possible.

Exactly. That's what everybody's getting caught up on is the last case instead of this case. Everybody's talking about Charles and I think that's the worst route we can take. It's an easy way for the staff to slip right under our noses.

...but maybe you're right. You could be taught about technology but that seems like it'd take a lot of time. We weren't even here for a week and look at how many dead bodies we've brought up. But that's definitely not something to rule out.
