Final Trial.

[legionofmods]

[Eventually, after enough searching, a door seemingly appears from nowhere - leading out to a large circular room. There’s a handful of chairs, but not enough for all of you, meaning some of you might have to walk around for a bit. Which is more than fine - this place seems to be filled up to the brim with knick-knacks. Most specifically the clone pods adorning the wall here as well, as well as some fairly innocent lab equipment and scrap metal. Someone used to work here.

Once you’ve all gathered, a voice calls out to you. From within the area.]

DISCUSS WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND. ONCE YOU BEGIN TO GAIN A SEMBLANCE OF WHY YOU ARE HERE, WE WILL DISCUSS YOUR FUTURE.

...Well there goes my theory.

Who did this to him?

[neednoaccuser]

Do I look like I know? He's all "I'm not him" and then I ripped his head off because he was creeping me out.

[He does pull out a piece of paper from a pocket though.]

I also got names of whoever was here before us.

[umslay]

Well, why didn't you say so! Give us the names!

[neednoaccuser]

[He just reads off the names he copied down. I'm not putting them all down again.]

[Probably a dumb question, but do those names match the profiles she found?]

[legionofmods]

[They do!]

[umslay]

Aaand I recognize none of those names. That's quite a list of people to be potential masterminds, if the mastermind is someone on that list.

[neednoaccuser]

Well Ursula, Cruella and Jafar's from them Disney movies. Bellatrix is from Harry Potter. Giovanni is that guy who runs Team Rocket from Pokemon. [He squints down at the list.] Ain't Skeletor that guy from He-Man? Oh, and Alphard Alshua's the chick from -

[He's about to say "that one Type Moon show," but also he's not about to out himself as that nerdy so:]

Snake? Pretty sure she runs some organization called Snake.

[I can't believe you did this to me.]

[umslay]

How do you know all this? Are you saying that we have actors among our midst?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

Sounds like a roll call of the actual -or possibly former- Legion of Eclipse.

[She shows the folder of profiles she found.]

[neednoaccuser]

Okay, so the real question is did they do this or is we all being set up for some bullshit? Because this is starting to look like we was all set up for bullshit.

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

What we've seen so far suggests that Bowser's descriptions of events is trustworthy... so yes, I'd say we've been set up for some manner of manure.

[umslay]

I should bring up that I saw tread tracks in the room...but the vehicle it belonged to must have been smaller than me. The actual mastermind might even be a LEGO man...if one exists on that list.

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

"Not him". Not the genuine Eggman, you think?

[neednoaccuser]

Well it was in response to me asking if it was gonna make the big man in charge angry so could be that, could be just him tryna tell me he's not in charge.

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

So it's very likely Eggman was never actually in charge of this exercise. We've been dealing with our disembodied voice and its puppets.

[tedioustrivium]

Where's the real Eggman, then? Dead or imprisoned?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

Normally I wouldn't care, but that might actually be important to why we're here.
