RECORDING 6: THE SECOND TRIAL.

[foundationmods]

The worst has happened... and now you're all here, in the living room where you first met Todd. As all of you enter, the Vessel is there - Olympia, staring balefully at you in all of her robotic glory.

On one of the tables away from the center is a small enclosed box entitled 'VOTES', with slips of paper nearby and a pen. It's sufficiently away from what will be the 'main' action, but not enough to really give anyone complete privacy as they vote.

Once everyone is inside, the doors automatically shut and lock themselves, leaving you trapped in here with the Vessel...and each other.

One of you is a murderer...however, in this game, the guilty do not need to be voted out. As long as there are enough people voted out that matches the victims...then it will be accepted.

...But, can you really let someone get away with murder...?

The choice...is up to you.

VICTIM: JACK MORRISON
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 1

WEEK 2 VOTING

Would the temptation of growing fresh fruit while we have an area for it outweigh the risks?

[finalring]

Starvation isn't exactly an easy process. It's rather slow and painful.

If the killer had wanted to just kill Jack, then I believe that they would have just stopped at that. But this makes me think that they really wanted to do something for all of us while we had a chance.

[zweivoltage]

[He went quiet... he was the one who explicitly mentioned the possibility on thrusday]

[finalring]

Don't blame yourself, Ky.

[ he Knows what you're thinking, young man ]

Most likely we all had the same thought in mind.

[zweivoltage]

Knowing it - and having someone say it out loud can cause different reactions Dr. Archaman.

[He clasps his hands over his crucifix, but he seem to decide not to argue the point]

[oxidegreen]

...Like wanting to get food for all of us?

[finalring]

...yes.

[ he nods, gravely. ]

I think they wanted to help us, and it all went terribly wrong. Considering this house and what Sissel said, I wonder if any of these plants are even edible in the first place?

[oxidegreen]

I don't know if it's even safe enough for us to try to find out.

[zweivoltage]

I don't think we should risk it.

[boardreversal]

So...even if they wanted just to help...

[He squeezes his eyes shut.]

Goddamnit...Aaah, it's no good, no goddamn good at all...

[baitless]

I... do remember wishing we could take some plants with us if things changed over and we lost access to the greenhouse, and talking about that with...

[....wow! This fucking sucks if he’s following the right logical path!]

[foxetious]

[Gin definitely agrees]

[golden_dream]

Beyond mere poisoning, then? Another "hell is paved with good intentions" situation...

[finalring]

Correct. Maybe.

[ he wrings his gloved hands together. grimacing. ]

Again, I can't say for sure. It doesn't explain the existence of the machineel apple, unless they didn't know the effects of it in the first place. They're well known in the Western Hemisphere, but not so much in the Eastern.

[golden_dream]

...So it kills people by nature?

[onemolife]

When I asked her earlier in the week about it, she refused to help grow my peppers. She didn't want to risk it, even with the temptation of giving us more food.

[cw_suicide]

[THANK YOU, MO-KUN]

[finalring]

That's a valid point to make. But she's not the only one that was trying to grow food in it, was she?

[onemolife]

Yeah, she wasn't. I think I saw a few people in there in passing.

[boardreversal]

But, then...Who could have done it? Everyone else has a reason or alibi why they couldn't, right?

[Uuuuugh, this is reminding him too much of back home...]

[onemolife]

You know, that's something I've been wondering about. How can we really verify anyone's alibi when the miasma could actually interfere if it wants?

[ghostricked]

Ah, good point. Before none of us saw what happened even if we were out walking around. I know that from experience.

[eyeforai]

Can you recall her exact reasoning?

[onemolife]

She said that they were benign and usually safe, but she still didn't want to risk it with the miasma.

[eyeforai]

So she was afraid of poison, or something else?
