I've got some suggestions for discussion, if you'd all like to listen to me. I think our best bet for hitting a Communist tonight without the Loyalty Officer's guidance is to go back to thinking over the Indoctrinator's actions. Thinking about why was a wash, but if we can figure out who, we should have at least one Communist in the bag. They didn't have any more information about roles at the beginning than we do now, so it should be possible to reason it out.
Theory One is that they recruited a friend of one of the Communists. It makes sense. There's only five Communists to start with, so it's unlikely that two people who already know each other would end up picked. That leaves the question of who already knows each other. Horace Knightley and Simon Keyes are obvious. Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou are, too. I've been told it's possible that Detective Fullbright and Robin Newman might be acquainted. Do either of you want to confirm or deny that one? And... Greed told me he knew Kimbley, but I think it's pretty safe to rule that one out.
Of those three pairs, I think Knightley and Simon are the safest. Simon mentioned in yesterday's trial that they'd talked about conversion if one of them was picked as a Communist, and I don't think he'd do that if they actually carried out that plan. Even if Fullbright and Robin are acquainted, with an age gap like that, they're probably not very close. Which leaves Sakura and Rin as our most likely suspects.
By that theory.
I've got another one, but it's got a lot more conjecture in it. The first night we were here, the Communists killed Seryu Ubiquitous, scanned someone, and converted a third. The second night, the targeted Clay Puppington. He has a role, so it's likely that he was their choice for scanning on the first night. If the Communists didn't have any friends they wanted to save by converting, then it's possible they used it as a way to take out someone they perceived as a potential threat, or to recruit someone they thought we wouldn't see as a threat.
Seryu described justice as her hobby, and the kind of person who would confess to being a Communist if she was picked to be one. Clay is... [ Don't say 'a useless piece of shit,' don't say 'a useless piece of shit,' don't say 'a useless piece of shit' ] probably the only person here who cares about Communism in its original context. Even if he ended up as a Communist, he'd just be dead weight. [ Like he is for them. ] They're both people who seem like they'd take the conceit of the exercise more seriously than actually winning it.
...Somebody who fits that sort of personality is another possibility.

Yes?
Good.
