Sixth Trial

[bathymetric]

[ After a time, as always, your investigation is interrupted by the Mayor's now-familiar voice, calling out to you over the loudspeakers. ]

And that's gonna be time. Pack it in, everyone, bring what you're gonna bring because it's trial time.

[ There are so many bathyspheres missing, you cannot help but notice, as you all pile into the station for your standard trip down to the trial room. Your number has dipped to about a third of its original size - a fact that becomes even more evident when you reach the circle of podiums at the bottom of New Rapture's ocean trench. ]

You all know why you're here. Someone killed Pillage Idiot, and it's your job to figure out who. This is your sixth one, I sure hope you have the procedure down by now.

[ Welcome to your sixth trial. ]

I don't think there's any reason to drag something painful out of him like that. Unless we want to make everyone do it. There’s nothing pointing to Forrest except that he’s been honest about his movements last night, and he easily could have lied.

If we do want that, I'll go along. I just don't...like to see him singled out.

I was barely asking him anything. You're being overly sensitive, considering this is a murder trial. There are all of eight of us left.

We do have to ask people about what they were doing, especially if they were out late.

You're free to share, if you'd like. I already have.
