One whole day after the second group’s arrival (along with one whole day since the dead body’s discovery...), some sort of activity in the warehouse begins. Early in the morning, there is an abrupt squawk of microphone feedback over the loudspeakers (and since when were there loudspeakers?), before a screechy voice makes a terse announcement: “Ahem, ahem, testing. One, two, three, testing! Ooookay, looks like this is up and running. So, you pesky test subjects, what a mess you’ve made! I take my eyes off you for just a moment and this is what happens. You really are a terrible bunch, aren’t you?” The “voice” clicks its tongue three times, letting out a heavy sigh, before continuing. “Anyway, let’s get this all sorted out! Know those elevators back out in the lobby? Well, first of all, they’re not elevators. They’re called Ambidex Rooms, so get it right, but second of all, why don’t you all make yourselves useful for once and step into them? Only one test subject per room, though! You can try to go in with someone else, but we just don’t start. What is that? You don’t want to go in? Then we can do this aaaaaaaaall day, I’m a very patient mouse, I’ll let you know!” And with that, the mysterious announcer goes silent. In fact, they’ll stay quiet until all the test subjects finally enter one of the AB Rooms, no matter how long it take. Once inside, the doors shut close, trapping them all inside..

Well, what did you see in your video? Everyone says they got something different.

I know mine's fake. *Maria is going to brazen her way through this description.* Because I saw myself pocketing what looked like a knife.

[elliexir]

[ Well, way to just unload that on her... ]

Seriously? Are you sure it was you?

[1st_response_is_anger]

That's the thing. It sort of looked like me but if everyone's seeing different people in these angles, I don't know if mine's true. It could be doctored. *Plus, she didn't have a blade in her jacket pocket at the start of getting conscious so...wouldn't that be a clue?*

[elliexir]

They could be taken out of context too. What if it was you and if you pocketed the knife because you needed it for later?

[1st_response_is_anger]

Well...I did take a scalpel when we woke up. And I did shove it into my pocket. I'm hoping we can find something to sterilize it with so we can make a first aid kit for everyone. *Because who knew what other injuries they were going to get being stuck in this place?*

[elliexir]

Then maybe that footage was taken when you took it when we woke up?

[ Ellie just has a hard time believing that the video really meant that Maria was a murderer. All of these seem to be taken out of context. ]

[1st_response_is_anger]

That's a good point. *She knew there was a reason she liked you, Ellie!*

But what about anyone touching the body? That's a little harder to fake. Maybe.

[elliexir]

Wait, was there video of someone touching the body?

[ Is she misunderstanding the question, like is Maria asking if the body is fake, or was there seriously a video of someone TOUCHING A BODY?? ]
