Final Trial

[ After a long while of investigation in areas that she definitely did not authorize you being in, the Mayor speaks up over the loudspeakers throughout the entire city. She's not using distortion at all, for what it's worth. ]

If you're all done rifling through my past and looting my things, there's a show that we really ought to get on the road, don't you think? Don't worry, I'm not going to come to you. You'll come to me.

[ And, one by one (along with your evidence), every single one of you is teleported into, rather than the underwater dome, a sectioned-off area of the Hall of the Founders. The walls around you are thick glass, and you can see beyond them that the Sparrows have begun restoring the statues. Massive stone renditions of the original Founders of New Rapture surround you, though some are still covered in cloth. A series of podiums have been set for you.

And within your final trial box is another box of frosted glass, ominous before you, just transparent enough to see a figure inside, sitting at a desk, her feet up as she lounges in a rolling office chair. ]


I love the dome, but there's nowhere for me to sit, you know? I was going to reveal this to all of you, it was going to be a whole big thing, but then you woke up early and ran off to do God-knows-what in a bunch of places I didn't need you in! Almost as if someone tipped you off to my plan.

[ Inside the glass case, the figure leans back in the chair further. ]

So you know what? Go ahead and talk amongst yourselves. Air my dirty laundry. Maybe I'll even join in in person. See if you can figure out what happened here, for starters.

[ Welcome to the final trial. ]

[Maybe he should have checked in to see if Forrest also found technology... whoops.]

Yes, thank you for finding that. So Gunnar Maelstrom provided the idea of the trials, Handsome Jack provided the idea of the assistant, and the unnamed individual essentially wrote the rules. It sounds as though they didn't believe any of it was real and that it was all hypothetical.

Gunnar Maelstrom also provided a list of candidates for assistants, specifically omitting Handsome Jack's daughter by Handsome Jack's request.

I see... Surely they must have realized this was going beyond hypothetical by the time they reached that point?

[Then again, maybe they were all too arrogant and/or stupid to think they could possibly be tricked into making their own murdergame and then being trapped in it.]

You investigated the other two offices, correct? What else did you find?
