trial #2 - execution

[judgejudy]

DAY 4 (evening) Complex Population: 32 At 7PM, a tone rings out, but it's not Judy's voice that filters out over the intercom. "TALLYING VOTES. . ." The voice is mechanical and robotic, and a pause lingers in the air. It seems that the voting system is run by some kind of AI. "CONSENSUS REACHED. MAJORITY VOTE. TIE. RESULT 1. LARA CROFT. STATUS: INNOCENT. LARA, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." There's the sound of clicking, and Lara will receive a very sharp shock to their ankle monitor. If they don't step into the judgement room, the shock will increase in strength every ten seconds until they're unconscious. Regardless, the voice continues to drone on. "RESULT 2. LUKE CASTELLAN, EMPLOYEE ID VTSCI62271053. STATUS: INNOCENT. LUKE, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." Luke receives the same treatment, and finally, the last player is decided in the same way: "DESIGNATING EXECUTIONER. . . ELIZABETH. ELIZABETH, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles votes

We have nothing else at the moment, so yeah. I'd be inclined to agree.

[ She's not as optimistic. She's fairly pessimistic but they were backed into a wall. They did not have anything else on their side, did they? She's tired, let her rest. ]

I just... ... we need to make sure this doesn't happen. That no one goes through what we went through.

[One day Elizabeth will be able to take the nap she deserves... Hopefully not because she deda.]

...I agree. If we could limit the number of people who have to deal with this, it would be ideal. [Granted, ideal doesn't always mean feasible.]

I wonder if an executioner was selected this time because it was a tie...?
