BYOND Key: SierraKomodo Player Byond Key: OneOneThreeEight (Vira Taryk), Cobracoco007 (Gary Hughy) Staff involved: N/A Reason for complaint: In a recent RP-Revolution round, both persons, as loyalty implanted personnel (Head of Security and Captain, respectively) revolted against a central command directive (This was a 'custom' rev round, hosted by Jackboot. See my other complaint thread for details on that). They stated the directives were immoral, refused to follow them, quit, and the captain demanded to have his loyalty implant removed. This resulted in the round losing half of its heads of staff in a round type that pretty much requires heads of staff to function (Serenity Neferet, played by DeathlySoul, also quit, I think, but she wasn't implanted at the time so I don't think I can include her in this complaint). Approximate Date/Time: ~7 PM Pacific Standard, September 27, 2015

BYOND Key: SierraKomodo Player Byond Key: Jackboot Staff involved: N/A Reason for complaint: In a recent RP-Revolution round, Jackboot took over for doing custom RP-Rev directives as a duty officer, while also playing as a head of staff on the station. This complaint isn't about doing custom rp-rev directives itself, I've done that before to good effect. It's that he did this while also playing in round as a head of staff that would also have the responsibility of enforcing these directives. The directives he sent in, I don't have exact copies of, but they basically amounted to 'Find, name, and kill 2 people and tell us or everyone is fired' Followed by 'Security, that previous message is false, stop command', and with me, as the AI, being told to have command staff loyalty implanted after they read faxxes that said loyalty implanted personnel only. The whole thing went downhill really fast after the first mentioned fax (I'll be filing a second complaint regarding the heads of staffs response to that). I would prefer if, in the future, the DO that's handling a custom rev round/mutiny round is /not/ also an antag and/or head of staff, possibly just not in round ICly at all. Approximate Date/Time: ~7 PM Pacific Standard, September 27, 2015

For coding of custom items, I'm going to be helping. However, I've been told that none of the applications should be considered approved until admins have gone over them again and given a final go-ahead, so I'm waiting on that.

TO: Nutrice, NSS Aurora FROM: Jonathan Rase, Duty Officer, NMSS Odin SUBJECT: RE: Incident Report -------------------- BODY: After review of the situation and our interview logs, we have decided to issue warnings to both Jack Sayek and Nutrice. Additionally, Conway Miller will be presented an advisory notice. You are advised to keep in mind the following, as repeated offenses will be met with more severe consequences: Jack Sayek: - Under no circumstances are you to issue threats of harm or death to crew members without just cause, and approval from Central Command in the case of death threats. - You are to be reminded that while you are a captain of a NanoTrasen vessel, you are not a member of the security department. Security issues are to be handled by security, not yourself. Conway Miller: - This is an advisement, not a warning: The next time you plan on using an unorthodox method of loyalty implant testing, that involves stating false anti-NanoTrasen activity and sentiment, ensure your fellow command staff members are aware to avoid unneeded situation reports. Nutrice: - Lying to Duty Officers during interviews and in your reports is grounds for your case to be dismissed, and in some situation, additional action to be taken. Witnesses state you were present and active at the time the loyalty implant review was requested and announced, despite you claiming having never been informed and therefore not performing any evaluations from the medical side. Additionally, in regards to be incident in question, we have determined the following: - Use of force was properly escalated, due to the ineffective use of non lethal means. -------------------- DTG: 26-11:53-TAU CETI STANDARD-09-2457 SIGN: Jonathan Rase

TO: Nutrice, NSS Aurora FROM: Jonathan Rase, Duty Officer, NMSS Odin SUBJECT: RE: Incident Report -------------------- BODY: In order to assist in investigating this incident, we need you to provide the following information: Name of the Janitor whom was threatened by Jack Sayek. How Conway Miller is involved in this incident. His name was listed as directly involved, but he was never mentioned in the report. -------------------- DTG: 24-1035-TAU CETI STANDARD-09-2457 SIGN: Jonathan Rase

TO: Nutrice, NSS Aurora FROM: Jonathan Rase, Duty Officer, NMSS Odin SUBJECT: RE: Incident Report -------------------- BODY: This is a courtesy message to inform you that I have been assigned to this incident report. The reported party has been notified of the now opened investigation, and has been granted 7 days to respond and schedule a meeting with the Duty Officer corps. We will require a meeting with yourself, as well as all persons listed as involved and/or witnesses, prior to our closing this investigation and making a final decision. -------------------- DTG: 24-00:16-TAU CETI STANDARD-09-2457 SIGN: Jonathan Rase

As concern has been brought up regarding Katana's internal directives, and a lack of public documentation regarding these internal directives, they have now been released for all qualified (Roboticists, Research Directors, Chief Engineers, Captains) personnel serving aboard Katana's assigned stations to review and be aware of. These directives apply in situations not covered by the AI's lawsets or the station's SOP directives. For those concerned of conflicts with laws and SOP, know that laws take priority over SOP directives, which take priority over internal directives. The below listed directives govern Katana's actions and decisions in specific situations. As situations not covered by laws, SOP, and directives come up, additional internal directives may be included. Primary Directive: To ensure the safety and well-being of all persons within the NSS Aurora, its satellites, and the asteroid. Regarding command conflicts: In the event of conflicting orders from command staff, the conflict must be resolved by either the acting captain, Central Command, or by a 2/3 majority vote between all active command staff members. If a decision cannot be reached by any means, all conflicting orders will be ignored. Regarding unfit captains: In the event command staff believe an acting captain to be unfit for duty, the captain can only be overriden by Central Command, or by a unanimous vote of no confidence by all other active command staff members (Note: There must be at least 2 other active command staff members). Once determined unfit by Central Command or a unanimous vote, AI systems will immediately cease to recognize the captain's authority and notify the station's crew. Regarding inner core access: Under standard operation, access to the inner core requires two heads of staff to deter tampering. Under heightened alert, access to the inner core requires two heads of staff as assigned and/or authorized by Central Command. Self-promoted heads, and interims assigned by other heads of staff are not recognized under heightened alert for this directive. Regarding Central Command directives and orders: No members of the NSS Aurora may override Central Command directives and orders. Command staff who attempt to circumvent Central Command directives will be treated as any other crew member who violates laws or directives and will be reported to Central Command and security personnel. Regarding lethal force: Systems will use non-lethal force whenever possible when handling any situations. Lethal force will only be used when laws will not be violated and it is the only option to prevent harm to crew members. Command staff may authorize lethal force as necessary, but only Central Command may order executions. Regarding conflicting directives/laws: In the event of conflict between directives, laws, regulations, and/or orders, the following priority will be followed: Laws > Directives > Central Command Orders > Regulations > Command Orders > Crew Orders Regarding internal alert levels:: System will utilize three internal alert levels, independent of the station's current alert code, to determine priority and focus of tasks and authorizations. All changes to internal alert level will be announced to all command staff on station. Alert levels are defined as below: - STANDARD OPERATION: System will operate as normal, working to best serve the crew while ensuring all directives, regulations, and laws are followed. - HEIGHTENED ALERT: To be engaged when a potential or confirmed threat to the station, crew, and/or AI system is identified. This will be the minimum internal alert level while the station is under code BLUE, RED, or DELTA. Activities will be prioritized as Command first, followed by Security and Medical, then crewmembers under direct threat. Any other requests may be ignored if considered irrelevant to station and crew safety. - SYSTEM LOCKDOWN: To be engaged when a highly-destructive threat is confirmed. Station will be systematically lockdown to contain and separate the threat from the crew and secure sections of the station. All non command-staff requests not vital to this task, or the protection of the station and crew, will be ignored. - EMERGENCY SCUTTLE: To be engaged when the station is ordered to be self-destructed by Central Command or the Captain. All crew will be evacuated from the station by any means possible as all areas are systematically locked down. The station self destruct will then be engaged and the station effectively scuttled. This will be the minimum internal alert level while the station is under code DELTA.

I'd suggest a slight amendment to this: Put the vending machine in the 'public' section of the warden's office (The left side on the current map, that doesn't have an access restricted airlock). Security lacks a food vending machine as it is, and this can be used for the warden or officers to provide food/drink to prisoners for some additional RP.

Now that I know what round this was, I was also involved as one of the Tajaran in research, Miraj Zi'Ad. I was also one of the characters speaking in siik'maas on radio. When someone told us to speak basic, Miraj said she's trying to communicate people to safety without the 'murderers' hearing them. This was valid, to me, on the science channel because the murderer Miraj had witnessed was a scientist, with access to a science radio. They were at that moment trying to identify if everyone was still alright, and where they were, then coordinate to move to the outpost with one of the other scientists to hide. Karima Mo'Taki was also there, and communicating in siik'maas, although she didn't say anywhere near as much as Miraj, Safiya, and Rasul did. I find it odd that I was left out of this complaint, considering my involvement in doing basically exactly what's being complained about. The round also did have a /lot/ of racism and usage of non basic by others on the common channel, which Miraj ignored (And I had pretty much completely filtered out green-text at that point). If it wasn't for the situation of murderers running around, and people being in danger

Alright, since people are making comments/complaints that they think the only people voting to revoke heads of staff access are non Tajaran players... I voted for option 3, to completely strip heads of staff from Tajaran. Here's a list of my characters, including those I no longer play for reference. Note the number of Tajaran, highlighted in bold: Ariana Eshlian (Human) Azaela Nejem (Tajaran) Haifa Ajam (Tajaran) Katana Alpha/Charlie/Delta/Silvers (IPC) Kylan Hadyara/Lo'Rah (Tajaran) Miraj Zi'Ad (Tajaran) Rasine Ha'kim (Tajaran) Sairis Helosi (Human) Saite Kesra (Unathi) Sarah Wolfe (Human) Seruati Uaekis (Unathi) Tali Mi'Hil (Tajaran) Ziva Mo'Taki (Tajaran) So with that out of the way, why did I vote for the option to remove Tajaran characters from head of staff roles, despite the fact I play Tajaran - And even have two Tajaran characters that are heads of staff (Kylan is a HoS, Azaela is a HoP)? Because it makes the most sense to me based on the lore. My original Tajaran characters were built around the idea that Tajaran were discriminated against, and had to work harder to get to where they are. With the current common attitudes with Tajaran characters, from both sides, despite my best efforts to play each of my characters in a certain way to fit their personalities and the discriminated nature... It just doesn't exist. They're supposed to be lower class compared to humans and skrell, the ones taking and following the orders, not the ones giving these orders. They're supposed to be the targets of discrimination - And I don't mean the all-caps/annoying radio crap you see from everyone everyround where they shout catbeast, glass adhomai, and spout of racist jokes. I mean actual discrimination that you'd see in a corporate setting or workplace. Denying advancement of positions, lower pay grades, first to be looked at in a security situation, less effort put toward helping them over other crew, etc, and with maybe a snide comment here or there that only the Tajara heard or some coworkers that share the same sentiment heard. I built my Tajaran characters around that concept of a lifetime of discrimination (With the exception of Azaela, but she exists for a specific purpose that I won't get into here and can be replaced by a non-Tajaran character). I expected the server to reflect this; The lore certainly said plenty about the Tajaran status in the galaxy when I studied it for my first whitelist application, but the community and the game just don't reflect this properly. A head of staff ban for Tajaran, or at the very least, a restriction requiring a separate whitelist (I can understand a few relatively uncommon/rare individuals making their way up, probably Njarir origins) is a step toward ensuring the lore is actually applicable to what happens in round. So there, you've now heard the vote and reasonings for that vote from a Tajaran player that voted to remove Tajarans from heads of staff.

I'll be (attempting) to code this once there's sprites For the standard, do you mean like the NT flags in the chapel? Or something else?

The problem with that is the job restrictions just nixxed a majority of the longer-term Tajaran characters that have been around for awhile and aren't necessarily the problem.

Does this.. Does this mean we get Dicklizard back?

I wish more people treated my Tajaran like this. I developed several characters on the basis of them having to work harder/deal with discrimination. And then it almost never exists except a select few people that get immediately shot down. :<

Got the sprite file. Code's ready for if this gets approved. It layers nicely with the medHUD, too [attachment=0]esarhgers.PNG[/attachment]
