WEEK 0: TRIAL

WEEK 0 TRIAL     45 CREW ACTIVE
 
ALL CREW MEMBERS, PLEASE REPORT TO THE CONFERENCE HALL AT 1200 HOURS. REPEAT, ALL CREW MEMBERS REPORT TO THE CONFERENCE HALL AT 1200 HOURS.

I.R.I.S. SYSTEMS ARE UPDATING TO ALLOW SHIP AND CONCOURSE-WIDE ACCESS AT THIS TIME IN PREPARATION FOR INVESTIGATION AND RESOLUTION OF THE EVENTS FROM THURSDAY EVENING AND FRIDAY MORNING.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION.

Good morning, junior crew. With the heavy news of last night carrying into Saturday morning, things are incredibly quiet around the CSS Eudora. You may carry on with your personal business during the morning, but come 11:00, a soothing voice will cut into the air and announce that at 12:00 everyone must report to "the Conference Hall." Strange, however, that it's not on the map.

Never fear, your I.R.I.S. will automatically project a small beam of warm, orange light on the ground, directing you towards a large gated lift that has risen from the floor by the mess hall. Come 11:50, if you aren't on the lift, you will certainly find yourself moving there physically whether you intend it or not. The lift is capable of carrying every occupant of the Eudora to a sublevel that leads towards the mentioned Conference Hall.

The enormous hall opens up past two large, double doors with the word EUDORA printed over it. Within, a lengthy monitor sprawls across the entirety of it, displaying Thursday night's victims profiles along with a large map of the Eudora herself. With plush, dark seats in rows and a long table at the head of the room where four members of your senior crew await, it is clear what exactly this space is for, especially as the words TRIAL IN SESSION appear on the monitor and an ominous-looking countdown:
09:00:00


DE̶ÇO͝MḾIƧ̸S͢IO̵ИED͞

Welcome to your first trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Dahut's murder. Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST to 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST, unless you've spoken with the mods previously, as we'll begin tallying votes on the dot. Voting is mandatory for Spacecoast, acting as our weekly activity check in this game.

Good luck!

[she also looks at io, biting her lip.]

... Shit. So he really had a heart attack or something? I heard he started feeling sick and tried to grab something from his pocket the other night.

[life alert failed him... but, well, can't do anything if he really died from medical complications. dahut, on the other hand...]

Remember when I told ya the ship should've been junked and you said it wasn't that serious yet?

Aha, you did read my text.

Hey, we tried to tell you this whole thing was shady as fuck. So, what does this mean for the rest of the tour?

[she will not say it's fine because, man. this fucking sucks!! but she does raise her eyebrows at them.]

Are you shitting me? Two people died, and we still don't get to pack it up and go home? Fucking capitalism. [DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT SURPRISED...] So, say we have to dock longterm at Strihara. What are we gonna do there besides make our deliveries?

But that won't happen if we figure this out today? Or d'you plan to look into all that anyway? Because the way you made it sound...

[personal profile] messy 2024-03-02 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
... Right.

When you say "experience," you mean someone who's used it before? Or, uh, someone who actually gets how it works? Because if you just need to know about a planet that's already figured it out...

Ugh. Then unless you can unfreeze time for five minutes and get me a phone call with someone I know, I've got nothing.
