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.]

[Hm.]

Speaking of the list, should we do a shoe check? It doesn't seem like there's very much that could have been tracked around for this case.

[yesorwoof]

Yes, I've been wondering about that. It truly seems inconceivable, though stepping on the scissors would be pretty damning. Still, conducting the check might at least put us in the right frame of mind.

[pegasinister]

...I do think checking legs could be wise if nothing else.

[he arches a brow at the two women]

[exequte]

Why not both? I can't see how it would hurt, anyway.

[pegasinister]

Easy enough to do both, yes.
