DAY 04

[thecomputer]

[Good morning! The doors unlock at 07:00, the enforced sleep effect wearing off just a few minutes prior. Feel like braving the Emergency Backup Labyrinth? Because the Edutainment Sector is where you'll find Simon's body!

The Computer doesn’t speak up until someone finds him.]

Good morning, Citizens! Last night, participant Simon-G-TRO-1 was terminated due to Communist action. In addition, participant Aud-G-CIT-1 was terminated due to system error. There are now $UNDEF Citizens and $UNDEF Communists.

Trial 03 will begin at 20:00.

[Friend Computer will remain to answer questions for ten minutes. One hour after the body is found, the usual fleet of cleaning droids will clear up the corpse and surrounding mess.

On the profiles list, Simon’s full User ID is now visible, and his status has changed to DEAD.]

That's not it. We should be experimenting with ways to avoid the guns. I'd have tried making a break for it down that blue hallway already, if there were someone strong enough to give me a boost. I know I could clear that distance too fast for the turrets to hit me if a... friend of mine [I guess] were here.

[ Yomiel's just going to give Mukuro a skeptical look.

Like.

You know how fast bullets go, right? ]

[in_plain_sight]

[You don't have to outrun the bullets, Yomiel. You outrun the reflexes of whoever's shooting at you. Even if they're a perfect, unhesitating computer. She does it all the time.

Also with Ogami's help she's literally outrun explosions, so there's THAT.]

It's a moot point for now. It looks like you're going to get us down that hallway safely soon.

[schrodingers_man]

I wonder what's down there. It's hidden on the map and the requires the highest clearance out of anything, but we'll still have two Communists left after tonight. There's no way they'll let us out of here before the exercise is actually over, right?

[in_plain_sight]

What's down there probably isn't intended to help us escape, but if it's a weakpoint in this complex, I'm going to take advantage of it.

[schrodingers_man]

Well, good luck with that, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too high for it.

[in_plain_sight]

You shouldn't, anyway. With Kimbley dead, there's no way you're going to live to see tomorrow.

[She usually makes a sort of stumbling effort to be delicate when talking to people about their impending demises, but Yomiel gets a matter-of-fact stare.]

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel shrugs. He hasn't thought for a minute that he'd be getting out of this exercise alive. Honestly, he was pretty sure he was going to be dead last night, even with that insane gambit. ]

With my luck, they'll decide I'm trying to cover for Knightley or something.
