SECOND TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ After sufficient time has passed, and you're all as ready to avenge dear Obi as you've ever been, Mayor Fontaine speaks. ]

Alright, that oughta do it. Pack up the evidence and head to the bathyspheres, same as last week.

[ There's yet again a line of spherical submersibles back there, ready to take off as the citizens of New Rapture climb aboard one or two at a time. And one at a time the bathyspheres descend into the abyss below New Rapture, deeper and deeper, once again to the dome on the seafloor, lit all around by bio-luminescent... slugs, of some kind? They're a little closer today.

The ring of podiums still sits in the center, just like last week. Two more podiums are going to stand empty. Two more dead. By the end of the day, best case scenario? It'll be three.

The projector clicks on. Mayor Fontaine is as here as he's gonna be. ]

You all know why you're here. Night Knight is dead. And I know plenty of you liked him alright, so don't let him down, hm? Or do. I'm here if you have questions.

[ Welcome to your second trial. ]

Probably that. [ ... ] Unless this was the same person who bled in the clinic?

[hellaethics]

Oh dip, I forgot about that part. [...] Does this mean you gotta, like, taste all our blood to see if it matches?

[JASON, THERE IS A MUCH SIMPLER SOLUTION HERE.]

[fuckingguy]

..... I would rather we, instead, not do that.

[hotpaprika]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[HE RESPECTS NANDOR BUT HE DOESN'T WANT HIM TO DRINK HIS BLOOD.]

[specialyellthing]

[whys she look so amused---]

[giddyundertaker]

Agreed, that would take much too long.

[hellaethics]

Cool 'cause that'd be a real messy real fast and I don't think we have enough bandaids here right now for everybody after.
