The Mock Trial

[airlockedmods]

[Jesse McCree is dead, the first victim of, what the Overseers seem to hope, is a long game of motives and murder for whatever their reasons. With the investigation completed, C.E.C.E.'s voice comes over the system and directs the Champions to proceed to the locked elevator door at the end of the hallway. Once all Champions are on board, the elevator begins a slow descent down beyond any area that they've been able to explore so far. At least the elevator music is charming.

When the elevator door opens, the Champions enter a courtroom with 21 podiums arranged in a circle and each one marked with a name. McCree's face grins casually at the 20 surviving members from one of the podiums, a greyscale portrait in honor of the dead.]

Congratulations. We have now entered the trial portion of the test. I trust that you will do your best to determine who disturbed the peace by committing murder. Once the culprit has been found, they will face an appropriate punishment for their crime. If you fail to determine the culprit, however, they will be allowed to leave the space station and the rest of you will face punishment instead.

[Don't mind her, she's just going in pointing fingers.]

If you ask me, that Nero guy already seems really suspicious to me. The first day he told me about how the zero gravity room would be a great place to put a body.

[ooookay that is a red flag]

Why the hell did he say that?

[thetimebomb]

I don't know! I just asked what the point of the zero gravity room was and he quickly told me that "torture" was a good use of the room.

[Okay so torture is not quite murder but it's still a lot of red flags.]

[WELL THAT'S A REALLY FRICKIN GOOD WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF MORE SUSPECT BRUH]

I'm...going to keep that in mind, we all should, but I don't think I'm ready to accuse him just yet. There's still other stuff that needs to add up before we even start shortlisting.

[Just going to pinch the bridge of his nose anyways]

[Nods in agreement.]

Of course, if Tamamo is right, we probably shouldn't pick our killer until we're positive who it is. I just don't wanna be one of those people who withhold possible evidence.

[stitch_in_time]

Well that definitely doesn't sound good.

[Maybe a little too obvious for a murder mystery, but this is real life, strange as it is.]

Not damnin' evidence on it's own, but let's keep that in mind.

RIP NERO

[OH IS THIS HOW IT IS... HMM...

Tamamo's gonna take this in and not say anything yet.]
