## Creation and Development

Episode 1 was the second project worked on Future Foundation and the First Episode to take place. There was much risk with regards to whether or not the Episode Format would exist or not, as a previous server from which many participants hailed from had inspired said format with their "Seasons". Episodes were relatively similar, but with the adherent difference that they would follow up a single, sequential story throughout all episodes, instead of multiple stories. This worry was a real concern for the most part, but in end, it was decided that the format would be tested with a group of close individuals and a few new faces who were referenced in.

As such, this episode was highly experimental and a test of the format that future episodes would follow. The idea of Episode 1 came during the construction of Episode 5's map, and it would set up as the perfect entry point for the events to follow, as well as it's overarching villain Spamton.

Before the announcement of the Sign-ups for the episode, The Future Foundation had been affected by the "**Food Sweep**" Malicious attack of June 25, 2022. A set of addons that were located in the server's addon pack had been altered to contain a Screemer Jumpscare and the damage would delete certain bits of information from the user in question. This addons were owned by Steam User "I WANNA HUGS" and he had changed them intentionally with the purpose of creating damage across the Gmod Community. Fortunately, the malicious addon only affected two users: Alejolanz and Gomitonashi. It was due to Alejolanz's fast warning and communication with the server that further casualties were avoided. Others, like Gomitonashi, AlexZurp7, ToughStuff and Marcos collaborated with ideas on how to solve the issue, and eventually identified the corrupted addon, thus preventing further damages.

The map used for this competition was ttt\_theship\_v1 by user Outerlight Ltd. which was ported to GMOD by user VIOLATION. The episode itself lasted about 44 days from the beginning of Sign-ups to the completion of the Summary.

As was tradition, this game would be hosted by the host Alejolanz using his own computer. As the sign-ups were completed, the participants were scheduled for the prologue on **September 4, 2022**. However, due to the amount of players and props alike, the hosts' computer wasn't capable of handling the episode altogether, and the prologue had to be postponed for the following week, on September 9, 2022.

## Plot Summary

### Prologue: A Future For Our Foundation?

16 Students woke up in the middle of the ocean, in a cruiser-like boat. As they were called to the reception, they met a small bear with a Mexican-style hat and a moustache called Senor Kuma. Senor Kuma would introduce them to a life across the boat, but as he was introducing the circumstance, the bear started to glitch out, and all of the sudden everything turned white for everyone. As they all awoke in a similar way, 2 of the participants were missing, and they would once again be called to the reception, but this time they would meet a Senor Kuma who was desperately telling them to take "their helmets off". Not understanding what he was talking about, Senor Kuma explained that they were all volunteers to form a part in a simulation that was meant to be a safe experiment to recreate the events of a past killing game, but that things had gotten worse in turn, and pleaded with them to take their helmets off. However, a voice from behind the students would claim that they couldn't do so, and that they were all bound to this game just like he was. The voice was Spamton, a Virus who claimed to be in ownership of the boat. Spamton would then go on to shoot Senor Kuma, and claim that he wanted to start a Killing Game within the boat, from which dying would result in death, regardless of whether this was a simulation or not.

### Chapter 1: Friendship Across the Seas

As the participants wondered what would go on, Spamton explained the rules of the game: They were to kill each other, and try to get away with it. However, once they killed someone, they would go on a trial for his own amusement. If they selected the killer, the killer would be executed. If they didn't, the killer would be allowed to pick two individuals to replace their spot. Moreover, SPAMTON didn't want to be left out of the fun, and said that he would be selling weapons in a Dumpster somewhere around the ship. To motivate the volunteers further, SPAMTON stated that he would provide them motives for every occasion. In this case, he provided the following motives:

* [**MOTIVE A]**: The killer of this chapter would receive a [**KILLING PERK**], a reward of sorts for whichever volunteer decided to kill first. Although not much else was mentioned.
* [**MOTIVE B**]: Moreover, SPAMTON Announced that there were **[TWO SPECIL STUDENTS]** amongst the crew, and that by the end of this killing game, either of those two would have to die. Either by killing the other, or outliving then. If not, [**SOMETHING TERRIBLE WOULD HAPPEN**].
* Finally, for this chapter, the **[SPECIL DUMPSTER DEAL]** Would be a 1 Hit Katana, at the cost of Half of the student's **[HEARTSHAPEDOBJECTS]** or the "Hearts" they had.

As this was happening, Senor Kuma would find and free Sou Hiyori from his jailcell, one of the two volunteers who were missing during the second awakening. Senor Kuma would wonder where the other participant would be, with Teruya Otori having successfully escaped his own jailcell prior to Kuma's arrival. Senor would be working behind the scenes, and hiding from SPAMTON to be able to assist the students better, while recruiting the help from students like Phoenix Wright and Futaba Sakura to find a way out of the simulation.

The timer of the game would ran off multiple times, growing SPAMTON's impatience and warning that the last timer would result in three individuals dying off it. However, he wouldn't have to wait much to it, as the body of Natsumi Kuzuryu would be found moments after.

As the trial went off, it developed into a "Who shot first?" argument between Goro Akechi and Teruya Otori, as both individuals had though and done of the same idea, but one of them would not have the chance to shoot their gun. Due to the suggestion of Chiaki Nanami, the volunteers would get more time to discuss, at the expense of adding an extra victim should they fail the trial. Due to Teruya Otori lack of interest in proving his innocence, He would be found guilty of the murder. However, he was innocent, meaning that Goro Akechi would result in the victor of the trial, and thus, be given the [**KILLING PERK**] reward as well as the chance of executing three individuals. Goro would then pick Chiaki Nanami due to how meaningful she had been to everyone, Mukuro Ikusaba due to her being a possible threat in the future, having overheard a plan of her to carry a kill, and Sora Sonzai to be executed. However, Sora would glitch away during the trial, and thus her execution was postponed.

### Chapter 2: Waves of Tricks and [SPECIL] Drinks

As the volunteers went to sleep, trying to distract themselves from the events of the previous day, Senor Kuma took the night to try to solve an ongoing issue: By trying to rescue Sora Sonzai, the bear found that there were two more volunteers who were stuck loading into the simulation, and thus, Senor Kuma would help Mitsuru Kirijo and Haru Okumura to load in properly into the simulation. Haru Okumura however wasn't meant to be in it in the first place, with Senor Kuma expecting a completely different participant by the name of Gonta to participate in their stead. Haru clarified that she had bought the position with the higher ups and apparently he was the one left out of the equation. Once Sora awakened, Senor Kuma did his best to hide her and himself from Spamton: Prompting her to put a box on her head in a future attempt to disguise herself. Spamton however claimed the disguise had been pitiful altogether, but that he liked her [MOXIE] and decided to let her survive, something slightly... uncharacteristic of him. When noticing Senor Kuma was alive as well, Spamton knew that due to his administrative position, he couldn't get rid of Senor Kuma in such a lame attempt, so instead he resorted to bullying the friendly Bear. With everyone in the grand saloon of the cruise, Spamton and Senor Kuma would take the stage to do a couple of announcements:

* [**MOTIVE A]**: When a majority of the participants arrived, Senor Kuma Announced that from this point on, He would host Lunches at the Grand Saloon at Specific Times. In addition to being tasty, These lunches could recover **[HeartShapedObjects]**! Surprisingly, Spamton did not seem to mind this. Once that was said, Spamton demanded everyone to go back into the Grand Saloon, including Sora, or he would execute everyone.
* [**MOTIVE B**]: He would now sell a **[SPECIL]** Potion for 0 **[HeartShapedObjects]**. He claimed it to be a **[SPECIL OFFER WITH NO DRAWBACKS]**. This potion would Grant Temporary **Immortality** to the user **[AKA: GOD MODE]** for a limited time to **[FACILITATE PEST GENOCIDE].**
* Spamton also announced that this chapter's **SPECIL OFFER** consisted of a **[ROAD SIGN]** players would be able to buy at the trash bin.

Some of the volunteers would then decide to take the potion, and some would stay to have a feast with Senor Kuma. Futaba Sakura would work on a terminal to create a way to hack into the system, from which she could be able to use her ability to help everyone. Something that Senor Kuma would be incredibly grateful for. Phoenix Wright would also assist in keeping everyone safe, although he struggled to find a way out.

Amidst the stress of the situation, Mikan Tsumiki started to develop hysteria, and was panicking due to the constant stress of the situation. Senor Kuma would tend to her needs and so would Phoenix Wright, Gin Ibushi, Geiru Toneido and Makoto Naegi. Phoenix Wright would also take care of Gin Ibushi alongside Geiru Toneido, since Gin was just a kid. He would go on to protect him for most of the Killing Game. However, after a certain amount of time, the Poison started to take effect on those who took it. Ironically, Phoenix Wright, Mikan Tsumiki, Sou Hiyori, Teruya Otori and Makoto Naegi were all affected by this, and only had a certain amount of time to live, with SPAMTON offering them further immortality but with the drawback of killing them faster if the timer ran out. An offer only Makoto Naegi and Teruya Otori would take.

Senor Kuma would then work himself to exhaustion creating an antidote, while Sou Hiyori declared through an announcement that he and Teruya Otori were the [**SPECIL STUDENTS**], and thus Teruya wouldn't be able to kill him or else he would be found out and be executed. In the end, as the timer ran out, Futaba would find the bodies of Rise Kujikawa and Mikan Tsumiki who were both killed in the bathroom.

During the investigation, there had been an altercation between Geiru Toneido and Haru Okumura, as well as Geiru claiming that Teruya had tried to kill her before they found the bodies. This led to a trial where the suspicion once more fell onto Teruya. However, Nagito Komaeda and Phoenix Wright managed to point out that Goro Akechi had been missing for a very crucial moment. Teruya Otori suspected that Mitsuru Kirijo had also been missing and thus a debate between Goro and Mitsuru had been set up. However, knowing of their previous mistake, the volunteers selected Goro Akechi as the killer, and they were correct. Goro would then be brought to a new execution chamber, where the ghosts of Chiaki Nanami, Mukuro Ikusaba, Mikan Tsumiki, Rise Kujikawa and Natsumi Kuzuryu would take revenge upon him, thus ending his life. Which meant the [**KILLING PERK**] would pass onto someone else.

### Chapter 3: Whirlpool of Doubt and [WINDOWS] to the [SOUL]

Awakening after a troublesome day, the volunteers got out of their rooms to see... Memorials. Senor Kuma had worked hard in setting off memorials of the previous victims, so that their death wouldn't be forgotten by them. With Nagito Komaeda spending some time on Mukuro Ikusaba, Gin Ibushi spending some time on Chiaki Nanami and Teruya Otori spending some time on Goro Akechi. Both Celebrating his victory over him, but in a way, also slightly sorroful on the death of his rival.

The volunteers would notice that the elevators of the ship had been fixed by Senor Kuma. However, Spamton though that the elevators were a boring method of transportation, and instead used portals to [**SPICEUP**] his idea. As Futaba Sakura and Haru Okumura both helped Senor Kuma to set up lunch for everyone, they noticed that one of the doors to the engine room had been locked up, and even Senor Kuma couldn't access it. While this was happening, Teruya would visit Natsumi Kuzuryu's memorial. Starting to believe that perhaps he could've prevented her death.

Spamton would then call everyone to announce the following motives:

* [**MOTIVE A**]: Spamton explained that the portal he installed were getting out of control, and that there were now a lot more portals. Moreover, that if no one killed by the time the timer ran out, then everyone would die, besides Senor Kuma (he would just come back).
* [**MOTIVE B**]: A [**KEYGEN**] disc was somewhere in the ship, and whoever got their hands on it would be granted the blessing of escape from the simulation, with [**NO STINGS ATTACHED**]

As the meeting concluded, Nagito Komaeda took the podium and declared that they should hold a vote and lock up the most dangerous person in the ship. Spamton found this ammusing, and decided to cooperate. However, as everyone voted, a tie had happened between the intended target of Teruya, and other participants. Which meant SPAMTON wouldn't lock Teruya up, but instead give him an explosive. Teruya would then threaten everyone, as they were all clearly against him, and he claimed that he would do whatever it took to survive.

On the hallways, Arguments between Shin Tsukimi and Sou Hiyori could be heard, as well as Sou insulting Shin in multiple occations. Eventually, in one of those arguments, Sou decided to break up their relationship with Shin, leaving them alone. In contrast to this, Nagito Komaeda and Sora Sonzai would hide from Teruya, and start playing a game of Truth or Dare, where Nagito would then ask what Sora's "Killing Game Crush" was. This was a joke to help deal with the anxiety of the situation.

Futaba Sakura and Mitsuru Kirijo would then discover a room that contained a log terminal. This terminal contained the records of an event that had happened in a cruise, similar to their situation. Apparently, there had been 11 Victims, 4 injured and 1 hospitalized participants, with the hospitalized participant having being injured to the point of critical health failure, barely surviving an attempted execution. As they were reading it, A body had been found in the hospital: Sou Hiyori was found dead.

The trial once more had Teruya Otori in the top of the suspects list due to his threats to everyone as well as the clear benefit of Sou's death (The first chapter's motive required either him or Sou to die by the end of the game.) However, as the trial went on, it was discovered that Shin Tsukimi had been the one to take the life of his Ex, and thus voted correctly. Moreover, Spamton claimed that Shin's kill was as remarkable as his talent, or rather, lack there of, as Shin was then revealed to have been talentless all along. Shin was thus promptly executed via a shotgun to the stomach. A kill as creative as his lack of talent.

### Chapter 4: Shell-Shocked Seafarers

With the death of Shin, the volunteers didn't quite go to sleep. Far from it, as Phoenix Wright and Futaba Sakura had discovered that the door that had been locked was now accessible. Once they were in, they were met within a room that contained a terminal. Apparently, the terminal log contained information regarding the past event as well, and an some individuals that participated on it. The log claimed that there was a list of three individuals who had not been listed under the original 15 that boarded the ship, with one being clearly identified as a "**Remnant of Despair**". The log explained a couple of possibilities of their presence, from targeting the remnant, the members of the United Nations within the ship, or just to spread despair. However, it was inconclusive.

Geiru Toneido wanted to host a Raguko show for everyone to alleviate some of the tension of the ship, however, her show was constantly sabotaged by SPAMTON, and thus people started to lose interest. Fires started happening across the ship, as well as an attempt by Teruya Otori to kill Nagito Komaeda, who albeit successful, was done in a period where no one could kill each other, thus Nagito somehow managed to survive with no health left whatsoever. Spamton would use this moment to announce a proposition:

* [**MOTIVE**]: After gathering the remaining participants in the Grand Saloon, Spamton shared that apparently he found the "**FIRE**" motive a bit dull. He asked the volunteers if he should put it out; which garnered various reactions: Futaba screamed yes almost immediately, Teruya said no sarcastically, and Phoenix pressured him to quell the flames. Spamton wasn't too convinced to do so, but in exchange of playing a "**LITTLE GAME**" he would quell the flames. The fire was already starting to be put out by the rain, but Spamton took the credit, forcing the volunteers to participate. After this, Spamton once again reminded the volunteers about the [**KEYGEN**], which was still available, hidden behind an "**X-TERIOR WALL**" and left everyone to their own devices until the game was ready to be played.

Eventually, Sora Sonzai would talk in private, and confess to Teruya Otori that she had been given the [**KILLING PERK**], that now went by the name of the [**THORN RING**] as a result of Goro Akechi's death, and that the ring gave her advantages of some kind, but that apparently SPAMTON warned her that the [**KEYGEN**] of the previous motive, which hadn't been found yet, would be of special use to her. Sora wanted Teruya's help in finding it, but Teruya denied, saying that he was going to find it for himself, and that she should do so as well, as they both were in death's door, with Sora's Ring and Teruya's hatred across the ship. On their quest, Sora would be helped by SPAMTON, while Teruya would be helped by Senor Kuma, and in the end, Teruya managed to find the [**KEYGEN**].

After the [**KEYGEN**] was found, People were then teleported to different room locations, and thus SPAMTON would explain the rest of the motive:

* For this [**GAME**], the ten volunteers would be randomly and anonymously paired into five groups of two. To make things interesting, Spamton explained that the volunteers would also be divided into groups that would be walled off from one another. Each person would have a partner of sorts, but they wouldn't be told who. Spamton explained they could either [**ALLY**] or [**BETRAY**] their partners, and if they die due to the [**BETRAY**], they would be considered the culprit. People started to question why would they have to sabotage each other, and what it meant. Spamton replied by explaining that [**ALLYING**] or [**BETRAYING**] would give or take [**HEARTSHAPEDOBJECTS**] from others, and that if five rounds happened without any death, the [**FINAL DEATHMATCH**] would begin.

The first couple of rounds resulted in most of the groups trying to figure out each other. Gin Ibushi found success by being peacefully cooperating with his partner, who unbeknownst to him was Futaba Sakura. Most groups were doing well, however, Teruya Otori and Geiru Toneido were at odds with each other, with Geiru being near the brink of death, and Mitsuru Kirijo had a similar situation with Phoenix Wright, with Mitsuru being at the bring of death. Throughout the game, the participants were able to discover ways to talk to each other across halls, thus establishing some communications between the groups.

By the final round, where points were doubled, almost everyone agreed to vote [**ALLY**] and thus ensure that no one would die from playing the game. However, Mitsuru Kirijo betrayed that notion and chose [**BETRAY**], knowing that if she didn't do so, she would die, and that if Phoenix did so, he would kill her and thus become the blackened. Her plan was successful, and Phoenix lost a significant portion of health, leaving him as the individual with the lowest health. Unbeknownst to Gin Ibushi, who was now the individual with the most amount of health, and thus the winner of the motive. In his choice, Gin would have to decide whether or not to sacrifice himself, or kill whoever had the lowest amount of health. In the end, Gin chose to save himself.

Everyone was teleported at the end of the ship, with one clear individual missing. SPAMTON would claim that this was no accident, and Gin immediately recognized who this individual could be. As he ran inside the ship, Senor Kuma would follow suit, and SPAMTON as well, with everyone else in shock, lagging behind. All except Teruya Otori who would abandon them to look for Gin himself. SPAMTON would guide gin to Phoenix's Body, even if Gin soon regretted trying to find him, and thus tried to ran away. Senor Kuma would interfere, standing between Gin and SPAMTON and holding him back, however, SPAMTON would once again shoot down Senor Kuma, and force Gin to see the body of the one he "killed".

Once everyone arrived, the game was not the same. Gin holding his cat plushie, sitting next to the body of Phoenix Wright. As everyone arrived, Mitsuru Kirijo started to attack everyone in a bid of desperation, being held back by Makoto Naegi and Teruya Otori. SPAMTON would then announce that without Senor Kuma, he would have to find a replacement, and thus, he created a Mini Spamton of himself, which then started to incinerate the room. Forcing them to get Gin Ibushi out of the room, as Phoenix's body burned to the ground.

### Chapter 5: Fever Sea Sickness

As the night came from all that chaos, some struggled to sleep from all the distress. Sora Sonzai and Teruya Otori found themselves to be alone in the front of the ship, as they were wandering around and then were teleported to it. Only to be met with two Mini-Spamton by the names of **ToadSpamton** and **IdolSpamton** who started to harrass the two. As they were trying to escape from them, other Minis like **SpikiSpamton** and **GeneralSpamton** started to appear, noticing that SpikiSpamton had a big resemblance to Phoenix Wright, and that perhaps these were molded out of previous participants. With Haru Okumura and the rest waking up eventually, including Gin Ibushi who had been the most affected by Phoenix's passing, Spamton then made an announcement:

* [**MOTIVE**]: As he harnessed the **[POWER OF NEO],** and his absolute control of the simulation, he claimed to want to take some **[CREATIVE LIBERTIES]** to continue the game. With the arrival of his subjects, the Mini-Spamtons, He proposed that they would serve as extensions of himself, and that they were there to **HELP** the volunteers KILL each other and assist with any murder plots.
* [**MOTIVE**]: Moreover, to facilitate further **[ANNIHALATION]**, Spamton officially announced his **[CLEARANCE SALE]**, where he would offer every weapon that had been previously sold at a discount, or two weapons if the individual was a **[SPECIL**] such as was the case with Sora Sonzai and her Thorn Ring.

With the conclusion of the meeting, Everyone was able to once more access the ship, who had been corrupted to its very core with Spamton imagery on a terrifying level. Nagito Komaeda, using his smarts to try and put Teruya Otori in a bad spot, decided to go to the shop of Spamton and write a letter, as well as buying a Magnum for himself. Since he wasn't specil, this was against the motive, but due to Nagito being his Number 1 customer, or as Spamton put it "being there *from the start, from **Rags** to **Riches***", Spamton would allow it.

Nagito would then confront Teruya, and ask him to meet on the front of the ship. As Teruya arrived, things escalated, and Nagito claimed they were both crazy, but that Nagito had something Teruya lacked, and that was **Luck**. As Teruya shot him, Nagito died once more, but yet again, due to the game being in its Peaceful Phase of **Daily Life**, Nagito was spared and revived. As he was being revived, Nagito's message played out. Claiming to be an order from "**The Mastermind**" to execute Teruya. This put everyone in check as most participants though that there was a mastermind that had been claiming their lives.

**SPAMTON** once more would ask everyone to meet at the Grand Hall, only to scare them further and remind everyone of the **[CLEARANCE SALE]**. He would then terrify Gin Ibushi by painting the face of Phoenix in the walls, reminding him of his murder. As Gin tried to defend himself, Spamton reminded him that his choice was his alone, and that he could've sacrificed himself at any time, but chose the selfish way. Gin couldn't really do much, and Sora Sonzai started to defend Gin from Spamton until he went away. Geiru Toneido would then ask Sora to take care of Gin as she was going to be busy, which Sora agreed.

As this was happening, Makoto Naegi and Futaba Sakura would find an odd room that had previously been locked. A somewhat orthodox area called the **Participant Oasis**, where the **Mini-Spamton** seemed not being able to see or access. Moreover, they noticed a Ghost had been lurking around that area, but disappeared when approached.

Teruya would then meet with Gin Ibushi and Sora Sonzai on the grand hall, and were terrified by his presence. However, in a moment of self-reflection, Teruya would approach and give Gin his Magnum, telling the kid to use it only to protect himself, and that he didn't wanna be pitied on, but rather, just wanted to Survive above all else. Nagito would spy on this interaction, and take note of this as he formulated a plan against the Bounty Hunter.

Futaba would eventually meet once again with Spamton. Spamton had recognized the **[PESKYHACKER]** as the main threat to his control, as she had been working on ways to take him down from the code, and thus he removed a portion of her health as a Consequence, to increase the likelyhood of her becoming the next victim. As this was happening, **[NURSESPAMTON]** started calling Makoto and Futaba to go to the Sauna for a **[PRIZE]**, something the two of them were very reluctant to do, but went together, to the frustration of **[NURSESPAMTON]** who wanted them separated.

Unbeknownst to many, [**SPIKYSPAMTON**] was doing errands for Teruya Otori in an attempt to help him murder. However, once distracted, he would be betrayed by Teruya and thus temporarily destroyed. At around this time, Teruya would go on to find Nagito and Futaba near his room, claiming that one of the **SPAMTONS** had placed a bomb there, but he wasn't sure whether or not it was activated. As Teruya would go on to check with him, he activated the bomb with the intent of it exploding inside the room, and thus guaranteeing no one getting hurt. However, as soon as he turned his back, Nagito would take the activated bomb with him to the top of the ship, waiting to explode and thus forcing Teruya to be a killer. His plan was successful, but Nagito's luck surprisingly worked against him, as he once again survived the explosion with no damage. This was due to **GODMODE** being activated by Spamton, as Another participant had already passed away: Haru Okumura, who had died in one of the Jail cells.

This death was the most shocking, as Haru had not clearly been a threat to anyone, other than a few like Teruya who suspected she could be the Mastermind everyone talked about. Teruya once had given her his ultimate, asking her not to show it to anyone. But as no one knew his Ultimate still, this had been proof that Haru had kept her word on keeping the secret. During the trial, People were conflicted on the way Haru had died, as she had defended herself before succumbing to her attacker, and the idea that a Mini-Spamton had assisted with the murder. However, they couldn't quite put in who was it that worked with the Spamton to lure Haru to that secluded area. It was discovered that [**NURSESPAMTON**] had worked with someone for that purpose, but as to who, that was a mystery. As the trial time was drawing nearing its conclusion, Makoto believed that the usage of the healthbars of everyone would be a key clue to find out the killer. In an ironic twist, the one hit of Haru's broom towards her attacker revealed the truth: Geiru Toneido had been the one to do so, as she was the only one with damage received equivalent to being hit by a broom. Geiru had done an almost perfect case, as she had been given an alibi by **CAPTAINSPAMTON** due to a miscommunication, however, that little detail would seal her undoing. Geiru would break down, and ask for forgiveness, as she had overheard Teruya calling Haru the Mastermind, and to her this was the last straw as Haru had been someone who had been mean to Geiru since the beginning. Believing to be the mastermind, Geiru left Gin in Sora's hands and executed Haru, but to her surprise, the game did not end with her. As she was begging for more time and mercy, Spamton would cut her off and explode her in the most careless and cruel way.

SPAMTON would then claim there had been no Mastermind at all, and that it was time for the next round, the NEXT killing game. That they would continue to kill each other again, and again, for his own amusement. But as he was saying this, he started to glitch, and the Ghost Makoto and Futaba had seen before appeared once more. With a singular admin code: [**???: !collapse**] the game came to a scratching haul, and everything went white.

### Chapter 6: Trial and Error [HYPERLINK BLOCKED]

[MOTIVE]: No motive is presented at this time.

### Epilogue

The Epilogue begins with Overseer writing a new terminal log: **Log #6**. In it, he described that the test of the New World Program used from Jabberwock Island had been a failure. Claiming that it had been a bad idea from the beginning to have used the same machines that Junko Enoshima had infected with her virus, and that it was the most probable reason that resulted in the creation of Spamton. He explained that although the Head Engineer of the Organization was sure he had already "fixed" the machines, all the defense systems failed, which resulted in a difficult way to address the situation without risking one's life.

As he went on in his previous log, Overseer explained how in the Neo Future Foundation, his experiment had been considered a "success". He explained that the whole simulation data-wise was the closest to a real game that they could've gone to, and that the gathered information regarding the behavior of the volunteers during the event was as real as it could've gotten to. To them, it had been a successful proof of concept to the members of the Neo Future Foundation, and they were sure that with future developments, they could use that strategy to gather data and thus help them prepare to prevent future death games from happening. Thus saving peoples' lives across the globe.

But to the Overseer, the supposed "success" in his point of view was a joke. The Overseer viewed it as if he's watching his worst moment of his life all over again. Luckily, Overseer was able to do something about the hijacked simulation before the tragedy resulted in a complete massacre.

The volunteers still hadn't awakened yet, So Overseer monitored and observed them for at least 3 days after his intervention, alongside one of his fellow co-workers, making sure to attend to those who woke up, while monitoring the vitals of the volunteers that were being provided by Senor Kuma. Overseer explained that due to Spamton's leak of his Previous #LOG 5, Regardless of how Overseer tried to intervene, he knew people were going to hate him. With this limitation however, Overseer's only objection was to get the volunteers out of the simulation without putting his life in danger.

On **Log #7**, Overseer wrote that a while after, the volunteers were slowly waking up. Teruya Otori was the first one to wake up, acting aggresively as he confronted the Overseer. However, being outgunned by the security guards of the Neo Future Foundation, he calmed down, and went to go wait on someone specifically to wake up. Moments later, Mikan Tsumiki was the next volunteer to wake up, confused as to how she was even alive, with everything blurry after Goro's attack. She looked at Natsumi's pod, waiting for her friend to wake up, and hoping she would be okay. Mitsuru Kirijo would be next, and she was noted to be the least peaceful one. She headed towards Overseer in anger and hatred, but was stopped by Teruya who tried to calm her down as the guards were aiming to protect Overseer. With the three awakened, The volunteers were offered a bed to rest and food to keep them from getting hungry and thirsty. Mitsuru was the only one who was stubborn from the request, but eventually accepted.

The next day, Overseer wrote on **Log #8**, that while he slept for the first time in four days, Phoenix Wright had woken up, and was staring down at the pods, waiting for Gin to wake up.

Overseer learned from the few volunteers interactions he had, that everyone who woke up had their memories retained from the simulation. The few who made it to the final trial remembered everything, while those who died in the simulation had a much foggier memory when closer to the day of their demise. Next, Futaba Sakura awakened from the pod, confused as to what had happened. After regaining full conciousness, she went to lecture Overseer about the protocols and systems in place, and he would direct those complaints to the Head of Engineer who was so sure his machine was "Impossible to tamper". Hours later, Shin Tsukimi awakened in confusion as to why he woke up. Teruya explained the situation they were all in, and Shin later realized in a panic that Sou could wake up and hurt them as retribution for Shin killing him, but Sou hadn't left his pod yet, so everyone else decided to call a day and go rest. Although Phoenix refused to go, instead decided to stand by Gin's pod the entire time.

On Log #9, Overseer explained that Phoenix had stayed awake for over 76 hours, with the occasional passing out next to the pod of Gin. He was relentless on waiting for Gin, or at least Geiru to wake up. While he explained to Phoenix that although the amount of people waking up was a given, it wasn't exact science as to when they would do so. However, Everyone felt relief after seeing Gin Ibushi finally awake and he reunited with Phoenix. Gin questioned Phoenix about Geiru and Sora who hadn't awakened yet, so Phoenix finally took Overseers offer to go have food with Gin, and maybe some rest as well. As it was about to be nighttime, the computers had captured that someone had been awaken for a couple of hours before. Turns out, No one had noticed Chiaki Nanami's snore. She had been sleeping for a couple of hours by then.

With Teruya, Mikan, Mitsuru, Phoenix, Futaba, Gin, and Chiaki awake, **only one person remained**.

On Log #10, Overseer explained that after a week of waiting, Mitsuru and everyone else already left the Future Foundation Headquarters, leaving only Teruya and Futaba, with the latter deciding to stay to help in the Neo Future Foundation. Teruya watched over the two particular pods, Haru's and Nagito's, focusing on whoever wakes up. But to his surprise, Makoto Naegi was the last person to awaken. Teruya ended up leaving the room for good in a sigh of both sorrow, and relief. Makoto had a strong headache, and had trouble talking for a bit with Futaba, who was crying from relief and hugged him.

After Makoto's awakening, the 9 remaining pods started to fail one by one. Overseer did everything he could to prolong their lives, as the Future Foundation members ended up having to shut down the ones that did and kept the ones that didn't to give them a chance. But unfortunately, it was no use, as they all passed away. Thus becoming the victims of the death game simulation.

As Futaba started to pack up and leave, Overseer noticed something was off about Makoto, as he started to act differently. He felt a bit similar to a particular friend of Overseer's, though he couldn't quite notice what was wrong. The last thing he heard from Makoto was how "lucky" he was to had survived.
