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.

Any idea why McCree would've had it? You realize how this looks, yeah?

[misinforms]

Unless he wanted it for that hat of his, I have no idea. Unless he thought it had some kind of spiritual power in it-- in which case he was totally out of luck. If he wanted something like that I could have made him a charm myself.

[In short-- Spirit Medium crap.]

Anyone else gotten close enough that they could've taken it?

[misinforms]

Anyone could have, I suppose. I've always worn them. And unfortunately they're just beads so it's. it like they'd be hard to take. Or it could've fallen out-- it's not like a normal hair clip that has anything holding it to my hair.
