THIRD TRIAL

[ Two bodies this week. As a result, it's a little longer before Mayor Fontaine's voice calls out over the loudspeakers. ]

All right, that'll do, all of you. Get to the bathyspheres. Trial time.

[ There's fewer bathyspheres this week, aren't there? It's starting to get really noticeable. One by one, alone or in pairs, you descend into the depths. The bottom of the seafloor, a place no human life was meant to travel to unassisted. It's dark, until it isn't, the same bio-luminescent slugs as before lighting up the area and revealing the great glass dome in which the trial takes place.

Within, three more podiums have gone dark. They remain empty as you all gather around into the circle.

The projector clicks on, and you see the silhouette of Mayor Fontaine above you. ]


We all know why we're here. Florida Man and Cryptobro got themselves got. Up to you to figure out who did it, or... well, you know by now.

[ Welcome to your third trial. ]

[ Floyd has a thought... ]

D'you think along with the fire powers, someone coulda used the sonic boom powers? Because somethin' like that coulda acted like a bomb almost!

—Oh, that is a very clever idea!

Yeah! Last I checked the boom powers don't mess with your hands much, except for like ripple effects, so you might not even know if someone had it unless they were usin' it! So it's like...

[ He holds out his hands toward the ground in a little demonstration. ]

One hand has fire, one hand has the boom, aim it right and it's a big explosion!

You get only two powers at a time, and since Jason showed signs of both fire and a plastic hand, there's no room for him to have a sonic boom as well.

[Meaning:]

If this is true then it's proof Jason didn't do that to him. It would have to be a third party.

Yeah- that's what I'm figurin'! Sunfish didn't really seem like the kinda person to like... go on a big fiery rampage unless he was tryin' to protect himself, or the powers suddenly went haywire. And last I checked they didn't.

[ Jason is absolutely Sunfish. ]

No. He wasn't...the most careful person, but he wouldn't have deliberately hurt anybody.

[Like, Brett could see him accidentally causing an explosion with fire hands, but there's no real sign of anything here being unintentional.]
