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.]

I mean, if we're talking about purely Greek AIs, then...

[Hermes lists them all by name and what type of god they are, except for one, which he only refers to as "the sun god".]

[For reference she was expecting the list "Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus for a total of twelve" on the grounds of Hestia at the Hearth and Hades in the underworld, so it appears Apollo has been omitted.]

The sun god?

That's extremely strange.

Of course there'd be a sun and moon god.

There's a myth of that god and Artemis being closely connected. That you cannot have one without the other.

Isn't there?

[somuchshipping]

Yes, and a Diana for the Romans.

[superstylishsquid]

....You mean Apollo?

[valkavian]

Or Helios, maybe?

[somuchshipping]

No, not Helios.

[superstylishsquid]

Helios isn't an Olympian, he's one of the generation before the gods who wasn't sealed, since he sided with the rebellion.

[somuchshipping]

[Poker face!]

Yes!

[yesorwoof]

...we've said it out loud now, so we can't be sure, but I find the fact that he did not name this one indubitable proof that he has lost memories at some time.

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes bobs up and down.]

WhatProofIsThat? Maybe I just wanted to leave his name out cuz I was lazy.
