thejudge_tlv[After 12 hours have elapsed since the beginning of systems failure, every person regardless of status will find themselves abruptly, violently teleported into their own rooms, with one exception. The Judge's voice booms over the communicators.]
THIS SHIP IS NOW ON LOCKDOWN.
[The screens flicker to life, showing a mostly-repaired courtroom, although the crack in the gavel is still present. Shen Wei is bent over the defendant's table, manacled to its surface by his wrists and neck. They're tight, and it looks like it's difficult for him to breathe.]
BY SUMMARY JUDGEMENT THE PRISONER SHEN WEI IS SENTENCED TO DEATH.
[The manacles start to glow, forge-red, hissing as they scorch into his skin, and then the large hoop around his neck begins to shrink, squeezing and strangling, relentless, until Shen Wei is decapitated as neatly as a potter slicing off a chunk of clay with a loop of wire.]
FURTHER SEDITION WILL BE DEALT WITH IN KIND.
[For the next 12 hours after that, the Lockdown will remain in place - no doors will open, and everyone will remain confined to their own rooms, although the communicators will work, and the adjoining room mirrors may still falter and become two-way on occasion. Passengers will also hear terrible mechanical groaning sounds and sometimes feel brief jolts of acceleration, like being in an elevator that sometimes jerks sideways.
By morning, many of the ship's surviving Advocates will find that now two or even three of their walls adjoin a Prisoner's quarters. All of them will also find the following message on their communicators in text:]
The following addendum shall be henceforth appended to the Galley Code: any Advocate who fails to accompany and supervise their Prisoner or Prisoners at all times while said Prisoners are not confined to their own quarters shall be Guilty of Negligence, and be punished by immediate demotion and a sentence of not less than one month and not more than six months of time to serve. Any such Negligence that results in further damage to the Galley will qualify as Gross Negligence and carry a sentence of not less than one year.
THE SHIP IS NO LONGER UNDER FULL LOCKDOWN. ADVOCATES, PLEASE SEE THE ADDENDUM TO THE GALLEY CODE PERTAINING TO YOUR DUTIES.

[After Lockdown:
- The Courtroom door is no longer rusted, and will once again open to Advocate keys, although it remains closed otherwise.
- Much of the physical damage to the interior of the Courtroom (and any other areas of the ship) has been repaired.
- The gavel, however, remains cracked and slightly off-center. The crack actually might be a little bigger now? If you want to try getting close to look.
- Shen Wei's body is gone, but the new neck-sized manacle remains. What was once the defendant's table is now the Chopping Block. The wrist manacles will move of their own accord, reaching to grab any prisoner brought near them and drag them into the larger circle of metal.
- The layout of individual cabins is totally different, reflecting that the now-outnumbered Advocates are literally surrounded.
- The issues with electrical power, gravity, temperature, air, etc will sporadically continue.
- Advocates with powers will continue to occasionally find their abilities suppressed for up to several minutes at a time. Prisoners with powers will once again occasionally find their abilities returned to them for up to several minutes at a time.]
