Writing Sample:
Context: The player interrogates a suspect who assaulted an officer after she witnessed a 13 year-old accomplice in police custody with bruising and cuts.
Menu:
Option A: "Are you sure they caused those wounds?"
Option B: "Why attack the single officer?"
Option C: "Were there other motives?"
Option D: "That's enough."
Option A:
Player: "And you're certain the police caused those wounds to Steph?"
Alex: "Pretty damn sure."
Player: "But are you certain?"
Alex "What? You don't think they did?"
Player: "I'm just trying to find out if you know anything not on the memory data."
Alex: "Even if I had seen it literally happening in front of me,"
Alex: "you really think they'd let you view that?"
Player: "What do you mean?"
Alex: "What do you think I mean?"
Player: "Memory data is pretty objective."
Alex: "The parts you do see, maybe. I have my doubts about those too though."
Player: "So, do you have any proof that they were the ones who assaulted Steph?"
Player: "And that it wasn't unrelated or caused from a struggle?"
Alex: "I just know it was them. The look in her eyes, she was... She was, terrified, [insert player name]. Absolutely and completely."
Player: "Ok, I understand."
Option B:
Player: "So, you attacked a single federal officer?"
Alex: "That's right. He was the one shouting at protestors in front of the station."
Player: "So, why just attack him?"
Alex: "Huh?"
Player: "If you think the whole department was responsible, why just attack him?"
Alex: "Well, if I didn't get incapacitated then that may have been different."
Player: "It would've been smarter to wait until they were all in one place or sabotage them covertly, don't you think?"
Alex: "What are you getting at?"
Player: "I'm just trying to figure out why you acted the way you did."
Alex: "You want to know why I attacked him?"
Alex: "He had to pay for what he did."
Player: "But shouldn't they all have then?"
Alex: "Well, yes."
Player: "So why sabotage yourself?"
Alex: "... Are you trying to embarrass me?"
Player: "Absolutely not."
Alex: "It's because justice was needed right then! Not later."
Player: "I see."
Option C:
Player: "Seeing Steph was the only reason you attacked the officer?"
Alex: "It's what caused it, yeah."
Player: "But there weren't any other reasons."
Alex: "What do you mean?"
Player: "Like, there was no existing history between yourself and the officer or the police?"
Alex: "Don't play dumb with me. You saw my file. You could say there's a history there. But the reason I did what I did in that moment was from seeing Steph."
Player: "So, not motivated by anything else?"
Alex: "I'm not answering that."
Player: "Ok, got it."
Option D:
Player: "Let's move on."
Alex: "Ok, what else do you need?"
