[What's so bad about losing one's humanity, Alice wonders?
Humans are cruel. They're weak, so they lash out at people who aren't and try to make them weaker. They look down on people who are different. They have such a high opinion of themselves even though it's undeserved. If humans are like that, then who would want to be human?
...but Elizabeth herself doesn't seem that bad. Maybe she means something else by humanity, and Alice is tired enough that she doesn't really want to argue semantics, so she keeps quiet about it. Figuring out who Luke and Rhys might have been looking out for takes more precedence, anyway.]
Umm, let's see...
The first trial, it wasn't really defending, but Luke backed Cici up at first when he was getting mad at me when I said that if we asked people about the death, we might be able to figure out who was lying because if they said they didn't do it then they wouldn't have been telling the truth and they might slip up somehow. He ended up backing off a little when I didn't back down, though... Which makes sense. The staff members were trying to subtly point fingers at people, not draw attention to themselves by digging their heels in.
...oh, come to think of it, he was against the idea of abstaining to find out how many staff members there are at first. He was pretty vocal about not trusting Judy, too. Maybe we should keep an eye out for people who are vocal about not trusting her?
As for Rhys...
[This is harder because Rhys has been alive longer. DAMN IT. Alice makes a face and crosses her arms.]
He defended Angel, but we both know she's innocent. I guess he defended Jack and Veronica, too, at the same time as when he was defending himself.
[Urgh. Thinking, thinking - and then she remembers something.]
When he got mad and broke Judy's terminal... [Right after she sneezed on him.] It sure seemed like he was pretty used to giving her orders, didn't it? ...and she did end up doing what he said, just in a roundabout way. We can use that to make people vote for him next time.
He didn't really go out of his way to defend anyone during this last trial, but he did try to get Adam to rethink his confession...
