trial #4 - execution





DAY 8 (evening)
Complex Population: 19



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. RHYS, EMPLOYEE ID VTSCI62270894. STATUS: GUILTY. RHYS, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..."

There's the sound of clicking, and Rhys 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.

"DESIGNATING EXECUTIONER. . . AL"

The protocol starts, but cuts off abruptly. Instead, Judy's voice speaks up.

"Consider this an official notification for the entire population. If you feel a noose tightening around your neck, I am at least accommodating. If there is someone in particular you want to take your life, I can override the selection protocol for that purpose. Perhaps next time, Alice, since Rhys has requested Jack. Please proceed to the judgement theater."

No one else will be able to step into the judgement theater after them without receiving a nasty shock before they can step too close, and once they're both inside, the door closes behind both of them. There's a clicking sound from the walls, and the panels on the right side of the room are pulled up to reveal a thick glass that allows you to look into the Judgement Theater.

It seems justice is meant to come from the the hands of the jury.

How do we know you'll keep your deal if we do let Elizabeth answer your question? You're keeping Angel as a damn hostage! For all we know, you'll get the answer you want and off her anyways, you fucking psycho!

[He's not just staring daggers at Rhys right now, he's staring nuclear missiles.]

[ that just makes him frown. ]

'Cause I haven't broken my word once? I lied about the obvious like -- "I didn't do it" but no, I did do it. But otherwise, I feel like I've been pretty, uh, upfront about stuff.

[ a pause and -- ]

Hell, even my profile lists "mass murder" as a skill.

Are you literally kidding me right now.

[Rhys, you are lucky that Alfendi has a concussion and is fountain sick because he would go over to you and try to rip that robot arm off with his bare hands.]

Your answer to "will you keep your word" is - [He pauses here, raising his voice to mimic Rhys in a mocking tone:] "I will totally keep my word you guys, pinky promise!!".

[He shakes his head.]

You're just going to kill her, aren't you? You bastard. Nobody trusts you anymore. Don't try to pretend as if you're some upstanding citizen who's doing this for the good of us all.

[ he just looks completely baffled here. ]

You sure act like you know who I am as a person despite never talking to me for more than a few minutes since we got here.

[ a shake of his head and he sighs again, looking mildly frustrated. ]

No, I'm going to let her go once I get answers. There's not really a lot of point to killing her? I mean, none of her friends are dead so it'd just be -- you know, boring. She can stay here until the rest of you get her killed, I just want to have my answers first. Then the other staff standing with you right now can kill the leak. Super easy.

A jury can stand on trial for a man they've never seen that's accused of murder and hear evidence about him and still can condemn him for what he's done, you moron. That has nothing to do with this.

[Speaking to Rhys just makes his head hurt even worse.]

What's the point of killing us, idiot? What's your big grand scheme in all this? Are we your test subjects, or are you doing us all some noble favor through murder?

[ morality has nothing to do with any of this, dingus!!! rhys just looks annoyed as he feels like someone's trying to bait him again and decides to start ignoring alfendi now. ]

I can answer that once I have my answers. Now, shut up and leave me alone unless you have something to say.
