TRIAL 04

[thecomputer]

Attention, Citizens! You have ten minutes to proceed to the Loyalty Chamber. Anyone who is late to the Loyalty Chamber, or who brings any weapons into the Loyalty Chamber, will be immediately executed.

[Once you arrive, you will find a large chamber, with twenty podiums spaced around the room in a circle. On the ceiling, a massive screen showing the digital eye of The Computer, turning to look at whoever is talking.]

You have one hour to come to a consensus about who to eliminate. Ties will be broken randomly.

[The floor of the chamber begins to split apart, eventually only leaving the twenty podiums as safe places to stand, above a seemingly bottomless abyss. Each podium lights up with a touch screen showing twenty user IDs (the dead are grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. However, ABSTAIN has now been grayed out as well. The trial begins now!]

So you're not even trying to have a point, okay. Pipe down, kid, the adults are talking.

Oh look, now we're ignoring people rather than face the consequences of basically murdering everyone. That's cool. By which I mean fuck you and your moronic attempts at style.

My point, as anyone who listened would tell you, is that we should be killing "Friend" Computer Version 1.asshole rather than waste our fucking time.

I said pipe down and leave the thinking to people who are good at it! How are we supposed to "kill" the computer? You realize that [ he jerks his thumb up at the monitor on the ceiling ] is only there to creep us out, right? All the actually essential hardware has to be kept off-site!

[angry_jerk]

Then how can he force us to play his fucking game?! If he's only here to creep us out, why bother killing each other rather than wait for an opportunity to gut him?!

[schrodingers_man]

Do you even know what a computer is, you blithering moron!?

[angry_jerk]

A BOX THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE TO CAT VIDEOS, OBVIOUSLY!

[ Forget Clay, why can't he hate all of you to death. ]

You understand how Moge-ko died before we executed her, right? The whole facility is rigged with who knows how many high caliber sentry guns that will turn us to hamburger if we break the rules. Even I couldn't dodge them all for long.
