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. ]

It could be that we have the entire timeline backwards or it could be that the damage in there... happened... afterward...

[She trails off, frowning.]

There was, like, smears in the blood kind of implying Jason tried to pull himself away from where he initially fell. What if he set the grenade before the killer got him and it didn't go off until afterward?

Like...he ran in there so he could trap the door behind himself?

Something like that, yeah.

Well, it...makes more sense than just running in there for no reason. I just thought he panicked.
