FOURTH TRIAL

[ Well! That's sure something, isn't it? There may or may not be a lot of you excited to get down to business, but Jones does eventually move to collect you all and bring you to the theatre. It's a familiar routine by now, perhaps even comfortingly so given the irregularities of this particular killing.

Two of you gone this week. The elevator is started to feel downright spacious, don't you think?

A shanty, as usual, echoes from the crew of the Dutchman as you enter. The room is the same as it has ever been before you as the elevator settles into position. ]

To yer positions, passengers. Chins up.

[ Three more podiums claimed by the rust and wear.

You have your evidence, and you're going to need it before long. The music outside dies down.

Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

[ So! The scan doesn't find vital signs, in the traditional sense. But there is an energy signature! It's... strange, it seems to be registering as colder rather than warmer.

And then.... it picks up another similar signature, in the same space? ]

[.......well.

Of the people who are between him and Lorna, Constantine is nearest, so Data will cross over to show him the tricorder screen.]

Constantine, will you please confirm what I am seeing here?

[Constantine glances over towards Data's tricorder. It takes him a little bit to understand what he's seeing, but when he does, he freezes. He glances up towards Lorna, then back towards Data.]

I see it.

[He inches slightly closer to Data.]

And I don't like what I see.

Lalli, will you come here as well?

[That's really just because...well, Data would love people to not be standing super close to Lorna when he continues:]

Lorna, I am detecting two very similar energy signatures in your body. I consider there to be a high probability that you are, in fact, possessed.
