TRIAL 02

[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!]

[ This interrogation is starting to feel a little familiar. He. He has to stay calm. Panicking got him killed the last time he was suspected of something he was innocent of and he can't afford for that to happen again. He has to stay calm. ]

I'm not infiltrating anything. And I'm not lying, either. You're right, I'm terrible at that. If I was trying to hide something, I'd just clam up. That's the kind of guy I am! So the fact that I'm arguing with you is proof enough! I'm not one of the Communists, so lay off!

[ Yes perfect the very picture of calmness. ]

...That's not really proof, but if you want time to think about who else might be suspicious, I guess I don't have much more to prove by arguing with you for the rest of the trial.


[She doesn't feel bad for him, but, well, giving him a break couldn't hurt...]
