second 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.

The two lines of sentry robots are there again, 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. The lights on Diego, Kiss-Shot and Erika's podiums have been turned off and their floating grey scale portraits have joined the four from last week.

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 Detective and... [He pauses, running through Kiss-Shot's excessively long title in his head.] The vampire one. Founders, I regret giving her that title. 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.

Theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge are different. Even if you know where the heart is, it's unlikely that you'll be able to stab there in one precise go. Your hands will waver, the target will move - that was definitely not the work of someone who hadn't stabbed anyone before.

So it would have to be someone with significant experience in killing.

That's what I'm saying. Experience in killing and in going for the heart.

Some people have both, and as the stab wound was especially precise I'd be willing to entertain that idea of both.

Both is possible, but if it turns out to be one or the other I'd assume practical knowledge.

So, someone skilled in hunting vampires, or someone who has delivered this sort of wound before.

That would be my assumption. ...But humans are also fairly weak to stabs to the heart, so it doesn't have to be a hunter of supernatural things.
