trial #5

[judgejudy]

DAY 10 (afternoon) Complex Population: 15 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 11/5. voting

[If all of this is true and their loved ones are dead and gone, then Leo definitely wouldn't mind sacrificing himself for the sake of getting information. But he doesn't say that.

All of this "free them from the machine" thing is waaaay beyond his Ye Olde capabilities to understand, so he'll focus on what he does know how to deal with.]

Do even the staff know who the Overseer is? Can that be answered?

[antietam]

Yes. Luke told me about the staff. I believe you're on the right track.

[adlucem]

[Good to know their shitposting didn't detract too much...]

Can you tell us who the others are?

[antietam]

You're on the right track with that too. You've narrowed it down well enough. I think you can do that on your own.

[Dammit Adam can't you just tell them the spoilers]

Then what about this--did the staff know there was nothing left of our homes outside the Complex? If they were the ones meant to survive, did they know they wouldn't be returning to anything good?

[antietam]

I don't think so. That's why they were doing it. Their memories were messed with like everyone else. That's what I meant, it's not their fault.

[adlucem]

What about the others? The medical team, the security officers--do you think they were chosen by the Overseer as well? [He's not sure who else it could've been, but he doesn't understand why they'd be given allies, in that case.]

[antietam]

The staff didn't seem to know about them right? Judy had to tell them. But the Overseer might have known, no idea.

It's part of the experiment Judy has been talking about I guess. Maybe to make things a little harder for the staff.
