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!]

I'm sure you all already know that Yomiel outed himself as the Loyalty Officer and indicted Robin Newman as a Communist earlier, but maybe we should follow the Detective's suggestion from yesterday's trial and save the known threat for tomorrow while going after a probable suspect today? I don't think it's a bad idea.

Oh, and Newman's probably going to start shouting about how Yomiel's a liar. Show of hands, how many of you believe that noisy runt?

[A young... woman stands at a podium. She's wearing all red, and missing a certain brace that should have been on her, since it almost always seems to be.

But, this was what Robin Newman really was. Not some hotheaded boy - although that was a part of it - but a girl.

And it looks as though the gloves have been taken off. It was time to see what eighteen years of training would do.]

I know I've been apparently outed as a communist by the loyalty officer, who mister Yomiel claims to be. But, I believe that's not true. And, I've been working on a theory all afternoon to try and prove my innocence.

[And that's where this comes in. Robin swings her arm out, pointing a finger at the ghost detective.] Mister Yomiel. I accuse you of being a communist as well, and building a deep network of trust to protect yourself!

Alright, I've been listening to you morons rant back and forth and back and forth over and over again. Its boring and it all seems to revolve around one stupid fucking point.

Logic.

All of you are soooo worried about the logic behind this death and this death and blah, blah blah, blah blaaaaah! LOOK AROUND US! At what point did you all convince yourselves that logic applied to any of this bullshit?! When we all got clone bodies?! When the first girl we offed could make shields with her mind?! May I remind you said girl was all too happy to eat us if we had the chance. Meanwhile, Sunglasses-Indoors over there thinks he's a zombie, Dickface apparently tried to kill her own sister (probably Cain and Abel style), Assdick thinks purple hair is natural, and the only semi-reasonable one (but not by much) is pissing vomit he's so wasted.

Whoever the asshole communist is more likely to have a giant murder boner right now then they are to have killed someone for logic.
