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.]

Comments

[jinglebros]

Wait, you were there?

[voidseeing]

I ran into Alastor carrying you after the two of you sparred. He told me what happened.

[jinglebros]

I don't even remember that.

Uh.

[ Aoi scratches his cheek. ]

[superstylishsquid]

You were a little passed out at the time.

[voidseeing]

I'd think it would be a little hard to remember things that happened while you were unconscious.

[He's certainly not offended!]
