TRIAL 01

[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 (Seryu-R-CIT-1 is grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. The trial begins now!]

Mmm...you're free, of course, to disregard my opinions in this case, but...I don't think I could fire an arrow with that amount of force, anyway. It was lodged right into her heart, but...only a crossbow or a longbow could do that. That in and of itself supports the 'crime scene decoration' theory.

I wasn't suggesting you personally killed her. Just that the arrow brings your profile to mind. If we really wanted to, we could probably come up with ways the clues point to all of us. She was strangled with a robotic arm, we've got a robot here. I've been told I look like a "Johnny" before, if we want to stretch it that far. It's probably a waste of time to think about it too hard.
