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.

[Ahem. She clears her throat and tries to look a little scandalized.] Oh, it was just some simple curiosity, that's all! This technology is new to me.

[That no brain to mouth filter is catching up. Or maybe she genuinely thought no one found her suspicious.] I wouldn't have the gall to actually do it.

You were pretty close to trying to heave a chair through a window into space. I think you've got plenty of gall in general.

W-well, that was just the adrenaline talking!

[As was the time she chased down Barney in the hallway, fought with McBurn, gave Ginko lesbian love advice, etc etc]

At least that would've definitely settled the question of whether or not we're actually in space.

Wait, what?

[GDI SHE WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT THIS EXACT SORT OF THING THE OTHER DAY]
