I'm honestly stumped here. The people get moved whenever they've been knocked out. That much, we know. So who's moving them? Whoever it is is probably the one who killed Junpei. Given that Sigma, Phi, and Akane have to specifically infiltrate this, two of them using time travel to do so, I doubt they're the Zero here. Same goes for Junpei. So probably one of the members of Team Q...that's the most likely source for a Zero. Though I suppose it could be Carlos. I do wonder, though, if I directly input the name of a character in another Ward, how will Carlos react?

...Ha. The game says "Not likely to be Q-Team" and doesn't let me go on. Error also comes up when I try "No one". Only one thing left to try...and honestly, of the three members of C-Team, I actually find this the most plausible.

"The dead cannot kill anyone". I applaud you for your creative error messages, but how is suggesting it's a suicide not an option when Carlos said that he had to remove the killer even if it was himself? I''ll bet this is the fork, though. ...Fine, I'll go with the timeline I saw from Q team, even though Mira's not dead so this isn't actually the same timeline. I accuse Akane, as implausible as it seems.

Wait. Blood, a bracelet on the floor, falling off freely...and then Carlos strikes Akane with the axe? Holy shit, that means...Carlos has no bracelet! Nor a left arm! Except he does. Maybe? He's holding that arm, maybe it is partially missing. I use the flowchart to try to get back to that decision. Hah...the flowchart is crazy. And yes, the bit I did of Q-Team's is directly downstream from the choice I just made. I go to the choice and accuse Carlos this time. He realizes she'd never do that to Junpei, and so it could only be Carlos. He warns her not to come any closer, saying he's dangerous, and his body moves against his will. He turns the axe blade upon his own neck and cuts in. Also, I noticed on the flowchart that the ending I got in the Rec Room is called "The 99.537% Reality." Cute, game. Now I want to jump to that all the more. I figure it's rigged to always fail the first time, but always succeed the second.

It does not succeed the second. They wouldn't really put a mandatory 1 in 216 chance in a Visual Novel, would they? Extremely rare events are for RPGs! I have half a mind to flip to a path where a team died at 13:30, but I won't. D-Team, you're up. "Outbreak". Oh god, it's Radical-6. We're in what appears to be the GAULEM Bay. It's actually "Manufacturing"...oh dear, and it's 18:10. We already know from both other paths that D-Team doesn't survive 18:10. We get a screwdriver tip and a stun gun, and three blueprints, two of which say "Cut Charley" and "Cut Betty". There's also a note that says: "From the far left -> 4 right -> 1 left -> 2 left -> 4 right -> 3 left -> Boot up!"

Cut Charley? But Charley has been our faithful companion for over a decade! We've got wire cutters, too. And now we've got a screwdriver head, which we combine with the grip to make a screwdriver. Note two says White Red Blue. Note three says Alex Betty Charley. So Charley is Blue, Alex is White, and Betty is Red. There's some sort of bomb thing, which we'll probably blow up to get out. Huh, and examining these machines now results in talking about the bomb. ...Ah, we stun gun the high volt thingy...Ah, damnit, that means "start with the one on the far left, then do the 5th from the left second". You're killing me, game.

Alex seems friendly enough, but Betty wants to set us up the bomb. And no, that's not me doing a Zero Wing shout-out, it's the game. Charley's kind of rude, but better than Betty.
