WEEK 1 TRIAL 43 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 an enormous lift stationed by the mess hall. Come 11:50, if you aren't on the lift, you will certianly 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 ramp 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

Welcome to your second trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Viktor'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!

Yeah. The robots in the food court are a little more high-tech than some, but overall they seem to only have their single primary function which is serving food and cleaning up and being cute. If you can grab one and get into its programming, you can likely override it so that it identifies certain people or actions as a threat.

[ a pause. ]

And Viktor's not stupid. With some of the things he's managed to solve and create, even if he was unfamiliar with the technology itself he still had an inventor's brain.

[ he nods... ]

The mind is a deadly weapon, indeed.

Perhaps you will take a look at it, if they can return safely with it...? If that is the case, of course. We don't even know what's hostile yet.

If it turns out it's one of the robots and if they can bring it back, yeah. I don't mind taking a look to see if it was tampered with and try to see what happened.

[ this week of wanting to do things...

reaches out and ruffles hair gently ]

We are lucky for your expertise, Shoma. Thank you. Though, we ought to have more than one hand look at it, just in case.

[ he allows this for .5 seconds before leaning out of the way. no rufflies plz. ]

Sure, I would agree with that. Second set of eyes is always better. [ double checking!! ]
