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!]

...That sounds like a good idea, actually.

But how are we going to pass it around in order to make sure no one drops it?

[That abyss beneath them looks like it would be fatal if someone fell from their podium.]

[plentyfriendly]

I'm not sure we can, plus there's the fact that we don't actually have luminol and we don't have access to the light switch for this room.

[ossifragant]

I doubt our friend the computer would want to help get us a can of luminol.

That's probably out.

[Unless someone wants to step up and ask; Greed isn't going to bother.]
