EXAM 2

[lockdownmods]

Exam 2.

[ Like last time, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Han is at the front of the classroom again, looking noticeably neutral about the entire setup. His laptop is closed behind him. ]

You know the drill. [his voice sounds soft, tight.]

Be careful with who you pick, as they'll be answering for their crime with their life.

Victim.






Suspects.



[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]

[ Hank's tone is level. Calm. Maybe even a little sympathetic. ]

I figured. You didn't seem the type, so... this shit was bound to happen.

[ Accidental murder... ]

Sure would be nice if we could just charge you with manslaughter, damn.

[machrophage]

If I was going to take someone out, I'd have wanted it to be fair. Not like that.

Just be careful you don't make yourself a target. I don't think these children would manage all that well without you or Rebecca to keep them in line.

[donotlick]

No kidding. You could've cleaned house with anybody here. Except maybe Connor, but... not like it matters now.

[ It's never enough, is it? Hank wouldn't take credit for this. ]

Thanks. I don't feel like I'm doing all that much, so don't worry about me. I've got my android. I'll be fine.

[ And Rebecca... ]

I'll take care of her too.

[machrophage]

I'm pretty sure Alexander would have given me a good fight.

[Alas, it's not to be.]

Don't underestimate yourself. You're willing to push, and that gets things done. Not that I'm one to talk about caution.

[HE KNOWS WHAT Y'ALL THINK OF HIM.]

[donotlick]

That kid? You sure?

[ Hank doesn't know who Alex really is lol. But he also sucks at taking praise. ]

It's all part of the job, Viral. The next part ain't how we do it in Detroit, for the record. This eye for eye stuff is fucked up. Only humans could've come up with this shit.
