TRIAL 03

[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!]

[[Vote here.]]

If Rin didn't mean to be an only child by the time she came back, she would've been a lot clearer about establishing Sakura's innocence. Don't tell me she couldn't have done that. She made it completely clear that Kimbley and I were innocent and nobody can argue she wasn't telling the truth about that.

Sakura isn't even trying to argue for her own innocence. Kimbley said it yesterday: guilt complies, innocence flips out. Look at her, she's already accepted how we're going to vote. Don't waste your breath fighting for someone who won't even fight for herself, Phi. You're just going to paint a target on yourself, and I don't mean for the Communists. I can't speak for the Loyalty Officer, but I'm done playing nice. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who doesn't vote for Sakura tonight isn't to be trusted.

True, but except Rin, who was by her own admission indoctrinated, all of the "Communists" were just people that got unlucky enough to be assigned that role. They may not have had a choice to avoid killing.

I'm still going to vote for her, though. We don't really have any other solid choices; as much as I'd like to see certain other people here gone, one is provably an ally and the other seems like they wouldn't accomplish much..
