sixth trial

[airlockedmods]

[Six weeks, thirteen Champion dead out of their original twenty as well one half of the former Overseer pair. With Jamie now counted as a fellow Champion in the Benefactors' eyes, their numbers have dwindled down to eight.

C.E.C.E.'s announcement sounds and for what may be the last time the Champions must file to the teleporter with their evidence and the Champion Landscape Artist now officially among them. The courtroom is empty this time around, the floating platform as empty as the updated circle of surviving Champion's podiums. Jamie makes a small, humorless sound when he sees the lack of a portrait at Lightning's podium and his own name in glaring green where she once stood.

There's no Bolton to speak to them this time around so it's C.E.C.E. whose voice rings from on high.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Eight of you have entered, but if you vote correctly only seven of you will leave. Compile your evidence and select the correct culprit is. If you vote correctly, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs.

Thank you!

Typewriter- like the notes we were getting?

[cyan_maid]

Yes-!

[THANK YOU DOCTOR]

Like Temerity's-

[stitch_in_time]

That's it, isn't it? Why it was Bolton specifically-

[He takes a second to look pointedly at Jane.]

You are BRILLIANT. No arguments.

[cyan_maid]

[YEAH she's getting that feeling]

God, I'm too worked up to argue about me right now, do you really think I would?

[stitch_in_time]

Just making sure.

[kingshaming]

Then... dos that mean by that knowledge I did not kill a Champion at all? But a threat against the experiment?

[ratherdoweddings]

They called him a Champion when they could make him a target.

We weren't able to see the profiles until after he was already long dead.

CECE! Was Bolton considered as a Champion, Overseer or as Temerity when I was assigned to kill him?

[ about that...

[cyan_maid]

It might be they considered him one in the same...but it was still as you said - you were the sword, not the wielder.

[That could be a hell of a technicality, but as has been established, dear CECE is all about the technical side of things.]
