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'm getting worried about that body, if it keeps this up.

[autonomousthought]

Yeah... I- think the joints are getting looser, too.

[superstylishsquid]

We really need to find a way to move you into something else, huh...

[autonomousthought]

[Nods.] Otherwise... I doubt I'll last for anything beyond the game. This only happened to serve the game, after all...

[superstylishsquid]

If we get our powers working again...I'll make sure your soul is safe until we find something more permanent.

Thanks.
