The Mock Trial
[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.

[She is right. There's not much else to say. He can't be that mad at her. She knows she was ultimately wrong. Even if it was to save someone, this--
this is all just wrong. They shouldn't be here, and now.
What are they going to do, kill her?
...
Godamnit they had better not--]

[Nothing personal. They outwitted her in the end. They should be proud, in her opinion. She just happened to be the loser this time-- ah.]
...here.
[From her suit she pulls a small paper doll. Naho holds it out to him.]
Maybe your fortune will be better and it will allow you to leave this place. My charms aren't to be taken lightly-- let it protect you.

After a moment, he takes it, squeezing it. His voice is quiet as he responds, staring at it.]
Thank you, Naho.
