Taking Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

And a while after that strange, dark floor is accessed, after you've had time to look things over and get some idea of what's happening...well. There won't be any sort of official announcement to tell you to get downstairs, nor will there be a personal invitation for you to do so. Instead, the doors at the end of the corridor (were they there before? You find that you don't remember. It doesn't matter anymore, though-) slide open, as they always do, and the elevator ride to the courtroom is probably the first familiar thing that's happened all day. It's smooth and quick, though it seems to take a bit longer than it usually does. And when the doors open at the end of the line, the courtroom looks different. The dark, weirdly cylindrical room is largely the same in and of itself, but the usual twenty-seven podium circle is gone; instead, there's a smaller setup in the center of the room - ten podiums total, and you'll likely find the way your spots have been distributed to be very familiar indeed. Of further notice is the balcony - there's a structure that wasn't there before in view of the courtroom, situated high above, barred-in by a railing that'd probably be at about waist-height on your average person; there's no one up there just yet, however. There are so few of you now. It seems that today there are no speeches to give; maybe the Kingmaker is absent, maybe he just doesn' have anything to say. Either way, however, the implication in the fact that you're here at all is clear. For one last time, make the guilty take responsibility.

All the same, its not as if chemicals that affect us would affect him similarly.

[He has the body of a robot, which is the main point here.]

Oh, I completely understand that.

If we want to focus on his body then, there are plenty of ways to remove memory from machines.

[goodforsomething]

That puts us back to it bein' done on purpose.

[penduli]

Maybe it glitched when he was... uploaded or... whatever'd have to happen for a robot to be here too, and that caused his memory loss?

[pokexplorer]

That is possible. It isn't as though data corruption during transfer is uncommon. As...unfortunate as it tends to be.
