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.

It does. But none of us are sure how long we were unconscious. They could easily have set this up and researched us while we were still unaware.

[She hadn't thought of that.] We couldn't have been unconscious that long...

How can you be sure of that? If they were able to take away everyone's personal items and change us into those...clothes...while we were out, they could probably have done something to make us feel we were not out for that long...

[Her shoulders slump.] That would have taken a while, but we don't know how many people are involved. [But more people was just as worrying.]

No matter how many, they shall all be brought to justice.
refusedtoleave: (I can do this)

[personal profile] refusedtoleave 2017-01-19 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. We can't let them get away with this.

[A simple nod.] Let us leave this place for now. [Naho didn't die here, but it still feels odd to be speaking here.]
refusedtoleave: (Of course)

We better not leave anyone down here. [She looks the room over before heading to the door.]

Of course not. [Looking around, it seems like most of the people shocked by the execution are being helped along.]
