alpha complex day 3 - Knightley & Yomiel

[staunton]

[ Sometime after Anthy's demise, Knightley invites Yomiel over for a game of chess. Of course, "playing chess" has become his go-to euphemism for discussing strategy. He doesn't even bother setting up the board this time. ]

That was a rather convincing show, Mr. Yomiel.

Yeah, something about that kid rubs me the wrong way. He's gotta be hiding something. But you're right, there's nothing really solid to base an argument off of. And it'll be hard to get everyone to vote for a panicked kid without something solid to go by. Maybe I should investigate him instead.

Maybe... [ Hmm. ] Do we have any ammo to use against Logan other than him suggesting that you're a Communist?

Not much. He hasn't been too chatty ever since the exercise started, even though his profile says he's good at leadership and making decisions. And he kept pressing for details about the Loyalty Officer I "met," which is pretty suspicious. That's just about it. But even that's probably stronger than trying to pull together an argument for Robin, if that's what it comes down to.

Fullbright's our strongest suspect. We should gun for him at the trial tomorrow no matter what my results are. If they're positive and I'm still alive to share them, I can post them with the messaging system that night, and we'll have someone for the day after. If I come up with a blank, that still gives me time to try someone else.

[ He nods in agreement - well, more like he tries to nod; the neck brace doesn't really allow for moving his head all that much, plus his injury is nowhere near having healed yet. ]

I've no objections. Fulbright's going down tomorrow, and if that guy isn't a Commie I'll eat my hat.

A corrupt cop, who would've thought?

[ Yomiel. Yomiel would've thought assumed blindly. ]

The Los Angeles law enforcement is a fucking farce. There's no way all that blabbering about justice is genuine.
