Fourth Trial

[bathymetric]

[ After the evidence (and what a large batch of evidence it is, this time) has been gathered up, after actually patiently waiting a longer time than usual to make sure everything's been grabbed, the speakers over New Rapture crackle to life. ]

Time's up, everyone. You know where to go.

[ The lower number of bathyspheres, as you descend, is starting to become really notable, isn't it? The descent is the same as ever, lower and lower into the sea. The bioluminescence of those slugs on the ocean floor is almost brighter today, somehow, and some of them have even crawled up the cliff face around you as you pass them.

The dome approaches, slowly as ever, gleaming red in the darkness. The bathyspheres land in a row, doors opening one by one to reveal the familiar sight of the trial room, three more podiums now darkened. ]

Take your places, ladies and gentlemen. You've got a doozy of a situation to discuss. Ass Man and Silver Fox are dead. You know what happens if you can't figure out whodunnit.

[ Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

I don't...know how you'd go about that, either. Mess with the wiring?

[daimakaicho]

Probably? There were the frayed wires on the floor. Perhaps it was ripped from the back?

[ motherfuckin microwaves, how do they work ]

[pairtner]

How were the wires like? Length, width, any useful information?

[daimakaicho]

[ Hild explains so detailed and vividly, you see a diagram and key of the room in your mind. Wow! ]

[pairtner]

[That's pretty vivid, Hild, wow]

...those wires seem excessively long, to have been inside the microwave at all.

[If they have been lying all over the place like that, at least]

[daimakaicho]

Where would they have come from, then? There wasn't anything else in there we saw with any kind of electrical damage.

[ unless there was and I'm forgetting zzzzz ]

[sastruga]

I suppose if all you want is for it to spark, just getting some wires out should be plenty, even if you don't know exactly what you're doing...

cw: electrocution

[allatonce]

It's actually, like, super easy to kill someone with a microwave. The transformer in it is hugely dangerous and will burn someone up to a crisp if it's messed with.

[inaclearing]

.....good to know...

[allatonce]

I'd explain more, but it's... not irrelevant, but definitely gross.
