[As you all finish investigating, an electric chime rings out across the PA system.]

I believe that should be sufficient time for you all to prepare. Assistant, please escort everyone to the trial room.

[Penny emerges from the Security office again, head down, and slowly collects everyone; she leads you all to the east side of the common room, to the short hallway between dorms B1 and A2, that’s dead ended through your entire time here. As your group approaches, the wall seamlessly slides up to reveal a hidden doorway. Passing through leads to another short hallway and a small, round room, just big enough to hold all of you. Penny passes her ID over a small pad near the doorway, and it blinks green before the room lurches slightly beneath you; an elevator going down.]

[A short trip down leads you to a larger chamber, with a series of twenty-two podiums set up in a ring; in the center is a column of computer stations with large monitors, behind a set of thick metal beams with occasional faint flashes of energy arcing between them and a constant, low hum.]


Welcome to your first trial, Participants. You will use this time to determine which among your number killed the Legendary Bassist, and send them to justice. Failure to choose the correct culprit will have dire consequences for you all.

[Trial: commence.]

"Miller"... Is that name familiar with anyone here?

Wait... learning things, Miller. Midoriya's book had a little robot design in it! And the person that wrote in Miller's book and the game book talked about fleshbags.

Was... was the robot, the Researcher just made to learn things for Miller to sell?

Well... honestly I think I woulda been more pissed if this really was just a money scheme gone insane.

And you weren't fond of the idea of being decommissioned? Is that the territory we're marching into here?

I found another page with a little robot doodle recently. It's got notes on it about learning AI, obviously the start of this whole mess...

[Flipping that over. He knows people aren't gonna care for this, but as long as we're just sharing everything we've found without caring if the Researcher knows:]

Also, there's a lot of calculations here about human soul transference. And a note about integrating the tech from Project Equinox and Project P.E.N.N.Y. - [Slight apologetic nod towards Penny] - with Flesh. So, you know. Normal, not creepy stuff.

Hey, speaking of -

[Michael just. Fucking pops open that mystery hatch again, takes out the weird glowing battery like someone with no concern at all, and holds it up.]

"Flesh" is capitalized. Might've been another project name - but possibly along those lines.

[You can just look at it if you want, it's right here]

Experimenting with Humans and Androids...

[This sure does bring up some. uncomfortable memories.]

Does that mean that we've been experimented on?
