THE THIRD TRIAL
(~SK. 17-18)


[When the investigation ends, the D O N G rings throughout the ship, followed by Zero's voice.]

It is time. Everyone, come to the theater. Time is...wasting.

[And so it is. The seating has once more changed to reflect the fallen-Moriarty and now Brain's podiums are draped in black. And, of course, there is no food-

The screens come up, and the mask of Zero appears, ever inscrutable. Their instructions are brief.]

Your Brain is gone, I'm afraid. Cut into pieces and cast aside...and someone here knows why. Now, it's time for you to discover the truth as well...if you can.


[The trial for the murder of Brain, the Blue, has begun.]

That would explain his mood... but not why Hermes was sleeping in the training room when he typically would not sleep at all.

[Kira will briefly explain the conversation.]

[yesorwoof]

You're right, it seems that his "sleeping" would have been observed earlier. The red music note obviously wouldn't have caused sleep either. [Hahaha, sleeping with music.] Perhaps he really did get hacked.

But Brain-kun was trying to connect to the TV on the very first day when we arrived. I don't see how he would have regained the capability to do so with Hermes. Should one of us try to hack Hermes all over again now? Much like you, Kira-kun, it's not my area of expertise.

[onychomance]

Oh? Didn't know that about him, but that's exactly why I asked if there were tools that could have been used to accomplish it the usual way. If not, I'll consider it disproven.
