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.

[And you're set back down]

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Oh, that's absolutely derisive. Kind of a sneer.]

...I just remembered. We could have just let him hike it up a little, or sit down, or...something.

[Under his breath:] Obviously I'm not the only one who "likes men."

Honey? Going commando under a skirt that short never ends well, trust me. The skirt's always going to hang a little shorter than what it looks like.

[Speaking from experience, but TOO MUCH INFORMATION, MOM]

This was not my first choice, believe me.

I hate doing this as much as the next person, but if you're that desperate...

[she lowers her voice and gets a little closer:]

you ever considered just wearing one of your pairs of underwear inside out?

[This is why he doesn't like mundanes.

Just.

Why is you.]

That's hardly relevant. [Yeah, he caught that before starting to head back to his place]
