first trial

[When the announcement sounds and the evidence gathered it’s time for a trial. When the remaining champions are all gathered by the repaired docking bay doors they slide slowly slide open.

There are two lines of robots, silent as sentries, creating a border path from the docking bay doors to the circle of metal podiums. The podiums themselves were made of strange metals in red and gold and orange and black, each one etched with the name of one of the Champions. There are flood lights - like spot lights - in front of each podium, but the lights in front of Shirou, Hamilton, and Albel are dark, and hung on the front of their podiums are greyscale portraits, printed from their profiles.

Blaze Dudely stands on a repair deck on top of his ship, which looms over the proceedings ominously. Rather than the glee the Champions may think he would take in this kind of display, he merely stands there with his arms crossed, expression unreadable and his cyborg eye scanning the Champions with a piercing scrutiny, like he's searching for one of them to act out of line.]


Mornin’, Champions. Here’s how this is goin’ to go: take the evidence ya found, piece together what happened and find who took out the Champion Swordsman. If ya find them, they’ll be dealt with. If ya don’t, they’ll be free to go and the rest of ya will face punishment. Take the time ya need but don’t bore me.

[ look man, if you're used to having a instant win button, aren't you gonna press it

huh

That much was obvious. Anyone who was experienced would likely have chosen a less complicated method of murder. This one left multiple avenues for things to go wrong, or for Albel-san to wake up and resist or cry for help. Either they were desperate, or stupid.

I don't disagree, but our doors are soundproof, and this happened at midnight. Even if Albel was right in front of our cell doors and yelling, we wouldn't have heard him.

Mm, that's an excellent point. Nonetheless, it did still leave a chance for Albel-san to resist himself. He was the Champion Swordsman, after all.

Most people aren't trained in efficient murder.

Did he have his sword?
withoutred: (he spent the night at a friend's place.)

Not to my knowledge. Then again, I don't think anyone has weapons here.

Unless someone besides Albel and the killer were out after midnight. We're not required to stay in our cells after the start of night hours, only that we don't sleep outside of them. There was always the risk of getting caught by an innocent bystander.

That is a risk, but the space available isn't very big. It wouldn't be hard to check if someone was awake, and most people aren't leaving their rooms at midnight.

Yeah, but paranoia of getting caught might motivate someone to be extra cautious. We can't know one way or the other yet.
