FINAL TRIAL

Alright, that's enough snooping around for one day. There's a door in the underground tunnels that lets out beyond the vault door, just use that to get to the elevator. One of you has a damn staff keycard now, might as well just have you use it, since apparently I'm down both of my Assistants. The code is 020594.

[ As you head in and punch in the code, the elevator rises up to meet you one last time. And one last time, you take the ride down into the depths, evidence in hand. Something stirs in you - hope? Dread? It's hard to feel nothing at a time like this, don't you think? Even if it's just being really angry at The Professor.

When you reach the bottom, the dome is the same but you find the setup itself changed wildly. There's no sign at all of the original podiums or where they were, just a number of sleek new ones and a box of frosted glass. It stands out in stark contrast to the inky blackness of the sea outside. The lights don't reach out of the dome at all, and within the dome they illuminate the silhouette of a man, sitting at a desk, hands folded in front of him.

The Professor is here. You hope. Do you have any choice but to believe he's here? ]


Take your places, boys and girls. It's not what I think any of us anticipated, but it's time for your final trial. There are several questions I expect you to be able to answer, the largest being, well... tell me where you are and what you're doing here. Though I suspect first you'll want to talk over your... evidence.

[ Welcome to your final trial. ]

...Only by a technicality. [ What...the hell, she sounds so out of it. ] The bastard really did it, he hypnotized us.

I hate it, but it makes sense. How else was he going to make Rose and I comply like the rest of you?

...I'd also like to say, unless he was holding me at gunpoint. ...Even then, there's no way I'd answer his stupid questions. ...I take it there's ones for all of us?

... I believe that, but your body is still organic. Aren't there drugs he could use?

[ But she nods and sort of grunts by way of a yes. ]

They're labeled W1 to W7 — for the ones who're still alive, anyway. It's all the same garbage.
