fourth trial

[When the announcement sounds and the evidence gathered it’s time for a trial. When the remaining champions are all gathered by the 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 Oda, Akande and Leon's podiums have been turned off and their floating grey scale portraits have joined the six from last week.

Blaze Dudely stands on a repair deck on top of his ship, which looms over the proceedings ominously. His expression is still hard to read but his arms are folded across his chest and if you squint close enough there's a somberness about him that hasn't been at other trials.]


Ya'll know how this goes by now. [He's in no mood for pageantry this time.] Take the time ya need but don’t bore me.

A minute or two could be enough time to deploy poison in the cell and escape unscathed.

[Clever. Sinister as hell, but clever.]

Did you find any charcoal around the prison or is this an educated guess?

Educated guess, really. Black marks, a face mask, toxic gas... just logical to assume that's what happened. I don't think anyone would plan something like this and not have protection in case something went wrong.

...

... ... [Hm.]

But the mask was left behind.

Yeah, that's the weird part. Maybe something went way worse than the killer thought. Maybe....

[He has an idea, another educated guess but it's still just conjecture. But why is he suddenly thinking tactically when he's still so rattled...

Oh. Right. Mathias.]

Soma, there was a lot of fear in that room, sure. But there was also surprise, disbelief and anger.

I'd guess either the entire attack was a surprise attack, or something went wrong.

... Akande didn't die quickly. Maybe he managed to pull off the killer's mask but was too weak to do much else.

Unless we're looking at Leon being an instigator of this mess, then there's someone running around here who probably inhaled a decent amount of poison.
