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. ]

If that were the case, I've had two other opportunities to save her. And yet I took none of them.

There could be many reasons for that. There were far more of us then; it would have made finding a target and ensuring you were uninterrupted more difficult. There's also... the fact that we're getting close to the end, one way or another. This might be your last chance to save her.

[Or perhaps your last chance to try to escape, before someone targets you.]

It would be far more befitting a prince of Nohr to take whatever magic the Mayor uses and revive her myself. Something far easier done with a group of people aiding me, as opposed to doing it on my own.

But that isn't what you chose to do, is it?

I've told you all what I chose to do.

I spent time in the meeting room, and then I went back to my room, where I stayed for the remainder of the night. I don't know what else you want from me.
