"Well then, all votes have been cast. Let us see how well you did. For the sake of... dramatic reveal, let us look at the questions in reverse order"
Difficulty: Simple
Threshold Success: 85%
(Please note, questions were weighted based on two major factors: importance to the accuracy of the kill and reasonability of deducing the information based on ALL rooms you could investigate)
8. Was the hacker relevant to this murder? If so, how?
{Spoiler}Yes, the hacker is relevant to this murder. Whether they realised they were assisting the blackened or not is unknown, it is highly likely that the hacker caused an EMP blast, shorting out all electrical devices within the facility. The blackened used this blackout to their advantage, using it to get a surprise attack on the victim.
This was a red herring question. No, the hacker was not relevant to this murder.

7. Was the power outage relevant to this murder? If so, how was it caused and why?
{Spoiler}The power outage effectively prevented the early discovery of Power. Considering the bloody nature of this murder, the pool of blood left behind by Power would otherwise be easy to spot with proper light. The blackout further prevented the Blackened from being seen all bloody and beat up from Power's defensive assault this entire night.
The blackout was caused by an EMP disturbance from an unknown source, which prevented all electric tools from working. This includes cameras. The EMP was done to prevent some watchful eyes from seeing something secret they shouldn't from camera monitoring. Presumably due to the invovlement of the hacker.
Mostly right. The only part you got wrong was who caused it. The power outage was used to hide the body and obfuscate timing. It was caused by an EMP, preventing all tools including cameras from working, preventing flashlights and other devices people may be trying to use.
Only three things were operational after the EMP: Elevators, mannequins, and Sue's room

6. Did any mannequin play a role in this night? If so, how?
{Spoiler}A mannequin that can be found in the Lounge was used for this murder. After killing Power, the Blackened ordered this mannequin to drag Power and tuck her under the bar counter, effectively hiding her out of sight and preventing anyone from tripping over her during the blackout. The mannequin did not recieve further orders after that.
You are right about the mannequin being used to move things, but not the right things. The murderer moved the body themselves. The mannequin instead moved the items out of the room while the blackened made an escape. The weapon to the office and the emp to the trial room.
However, the primary purpose was determined so... (plus, honestly, the mannequin probably had to tuck her in rather than just move her behind the counter)

5. Where were the necessary items retrieved from?
{Spoiler}The only necessary item was a piece of stationary. Though the exact murder weapon is unknown, something such as a pen or pencil would work. Though a metal quill pen would be the sharpest, there's nothing stating that it specifically was, and could easily be a pencil too.
This is the roughest patch. Two items were essential to this case: the murder weapon and the EMP. The EMP was purchased from the vending machine. And is um...
Sue would look back at a device crudely covered in the room for the sake of the trial.
Well the killer left it there. The other item was the murder weapon, which was not a pen or pencil, but rather a soldering iron taken from the repair room.

4. How was Power targeted? Was anyone else a potential victim?
{Spoiler}Power was not specifically targeted, but rather a victim of circumstance. The killer took the first person they could find, and killed them. That is to say, Power was killed as she walked through the Monitor Door.
In terms of there being other victims, it's hard to say. Maki, Kronya, and Tohru all passed through the lounge, but due to the nature of the murder, it's unlikely that the killer would have remained in the Lounge.
Partially correct. She was not specifically targetted, however it wasn't just anyone. The target was for someone who had high points--ideally Roroa, but to attack early enough to potentially obfuscate the time of death. Roroa and Power were primary targets, though possibly Mr. Anonymous (or even Constance maybe) could've been a target. Tohru and Maki were not part of this list.
That being said, it was still "first person within this category I can find"

3. What was the cause of Power's death?
{Spoiler}In simple terms, blood loss. In more accurate terms, Exsanguination. They suffered several wounds over their body, of which they bled out and died.
Exactly correct. She was stabbed several times and died of blood loss.

2. When did Power Die?
{Spoiler}Power died during Action 3, after the blackout occured.
Correct again! Power died right after the blackout occured. She had to fight her opponent in the dark.

Results:
{Spoiler}85 out of 100
"Well, well, well. Then I guess that means the only things left are to perform an execution and then announce the winner of our little game!"
"Considering the motivation of our little killer, allow me to declare the winner first! It is none other than..."
{Spoiler}Roroa the Queen of Economics!
"And with that, I have grave news for the rest of you."
"The rest of you will be executed right here and n--"
BANG
One more dramatic bang and the door to the monitor room bursts open revealing four figures:
Rio Ranger, Tia Safalin, Amaya Winterstorm and
Power!
Welcome to the Escape Action! Do not reply to this thread yet. I will be sending you bonuses based on what you sent for your escape action!
(Yeah, I'm handling it a little differently than explained earlier, this was a last minute decision based on your performance last night)
Once I send the bonus, you will have 24 hours to RP the escape in here, with various success!
ALL of you can attempt to escape, but some of you have restrictions (you know who)and some of you may have other objectives of consideration.
you got this
