Directive 11 was met adequately. CCIA notices are, for the most part, left up to interpretation for a reason. If anything your argument stems from the supposed breaking of CCIA directives. Like I said, I ordered you to be processed with minimum charges early on, but nobody ended up attending to you due to many other situations and me dealing with other things. I expected you to have already been dealt with but it appeared that you were left there, even with charges and such being ordered after your arrest. I’ve been playing Siganto for years. If I didn’t know or intended on breaking regulations I would have been long gone and had my whitelist stripped much much earlier than this complaint. Let’s look at Directive 11. When it becomes clear that an significant incident is arising that could effect standard operations of the station or cause significant damange to crew or property In my opinion, I wouldn’t have even made a Directive 11 announcement about the break-in. I did it only to appease command, because I have first hand know how of how both of your characters operate, and in a half-assed way because it wasn’t required or necessary based on the directive description. Its already been explained why the delay happened and I’ve already said I was sorry for the unfortunate delay in your case. Like I keep saying, it was getting kooky up in there! Now, regarding Directive 2. Rivers talked to me and I kept DC’ing so I couldn’t hear what they said, but they slid me the acting captains ID card. Now, again, regarding wording. it is preferred and standard operation I had the ID card, it was not standard operation, and lastly, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role. (Per Directive 1) Now, you could say that “Directive 1 only applies when a Captain is in command”, but it also helps to clarify the relationship between command in general, and applies with and without a Captain. You could also say that “this doesn’t mean you’re acting captain, you have to be democratically voted in!” But, where are you left anyways ? You are essentially always elevated as Head of Security for a multitude of reasons, and inevitably I ended up Acting Captain in all but real, voted on authority and name. In the end, I said that to your character because I was essentially De-Facto Acting Captain, but not De-Jure, and thought it would prudently get you off of my back for 10 minutes. I rest my case, but then again, I was mainly just blowing smoke up your ass with what I was saying, I really wanted you to back off and give me a second to breathe, since every time some complaint popped up you immediately go to vote to kick me out of command, which is what rational, well educated, well paid, and reasonable human beings do! I would also like to take the time to say that being a good person is not a requirement for being a Head of Security. If you haven’t noticed, my HoS is not set up to be a nice person. He’s kind of an asshole! Especially to other command members that he ICly thinks shouldn’t be nosing in on things they don’t need to be nosing in on! Especially with characters that also have reputations or behaviors like both of yours do! You could even argue that with the circumstantial evidence around the delay in your processing, that it constitutes a timely manner based on the CCIA notice ! Not that I want to take that route though, I had wanted you processed and dealt with much earlier !

If I didn’t believe it I wouldn’t have written it. Stability for your department and good control and command of those under you to a reasonable level. To achieve this you also need to understand how to time events, especially those that could destroy the effectiveness and stability of your department, such as what you two advocated for quite prominently.

So you completely ignored what I said about timing. Like I said before, I’m not going to upheave my department during the middle of a crazy round because of rough handling during an arrest. Why would I directly handle a head of staff if I had the power to delegate authority for my subordinates to handle them for me ? There were only three people over the command channel at that time, the arrested CMO, the suspect, and the suspects alleged victim. Why on Earth would I listen to any of them, realistically, when I have unbiased reports of what happened from two other people unrelated ? The only ”valid” that happened is when your sloppy antag play ended poorly. You could have just picked somewhere less conspicuous and neither me or anyone in security would have even been aware of your antagonist antics. If you can give a realistic argument on why I shouldn’t have pursued your case with reasonable suspicion and related it to Hawkins I’ll hear it out, though!

An exaggeration: It is clear that you sent multiple ahelps throughout the course of the two rounds mentioned.

Now, let’s start off with your first issue past your introduction. You must understand that how things are reported to me are not exactly as they may have happened. This is exactly what I ended up hearing. ”The Research Director has the Chief Engineer pinned to the ground in her office !” This was followed by.... “The Chief Engineer just got wheeled out of the Research Directors office !” So, Security ended up arriving at your office shortly based off of that. Can’t really say much about the RoseTango situation, but sloppy antaggery usually ends up with you being caught, which was what happened. Now, you’re also writing this like I know the intricate details behind you and the Chief Engineer’s relationship. I do not. I created an arrest warrant with an assault charge and wanted to have you brought in to be questioned while I was busy with everything else going on. So, an officer ended up interrogating you. As soon as they bring the report to my office, they slam it on my desk and say that you were extremely suspicious and that they could tell something was off. I read the interview and found it to be mediocre at best, however. So, at this moment I was getting cleared by Garn because Gonzales was ahelp spamming and seething so I wasn’t really able to go and actually talk to you at this point, which I wanted to do. I also had to deal with that sudden Easter/Vaurca Avowal recommendation that happened in the middle of nowhere and I just rolled with that. I’m pretty sure that happened during your interrogation but I could be mixing that part up. I ended up making the decision that you were probably like Hawkins in some capacity because of the same exact circumstances which happened to another officer when we found out they had ended up attacked by Hawkins. What was this, might you ask ? 1. No recollection of events, confusion where there shouldn’t be, etc., all that Roadman displayed. 2. Obviously being attacked/“straddled”/“pinned down” in some capacity, which RoseTango and pennant made quite clear happened. So, after that, what happened with Easter. I had tied up things with Garn and just got cleared to continue on and then Easter informed me that they had released you. I had told him of my reasoning of wanting to keep you in custody, and why I thought you were like Hawkins, to which he replied, “I didn’t know that, sir.” Small communications issue, but it was resolved. So obviously, since you were already released I figured that maybe just putting you on an actual watch and then waiting for actual solid concrete proof outside of “He said, she said, and Roadman has amnesia”, situation. I don’t know where you got the Easter threatened to be shot from, though. Either this never happened or some random officer said that and nobody reported it. Right so, moving on, this is a problem both of you seem to have, that I’ve noticed. None of you seem to have any sense of appropriate timing at all when it comes to dealing with internal issues. If the round had calmed down I would have addressed any complaints regarding around security and their conduct. It’s very unrealistic for any of you to think I would immediately attempt to evaporate my manpower because of a complaint, or “security is treating me too roughly, etc.” When I want to remove an officer or take a disciplinary action I don’t do it in the middle of a round that’s popping so hot that officers are sprinting from security call to security call and I myself can’t even keep track of everything. I don’t cater to complaints and image during rounds that pop off like this. If we weren’t so crazily overwhelmed and moving from thing to thing to thing to thing and all was quiet on the western front, I would cater to them. Both of you never saw the inner workings of security that round. You didn’t have to deal with half of the things I did, all you did was lodge complaint after complaint when I had actual problems to deal with. If you can’t understand that during a security round as crazy as that I wouldn’t be willing to upheave the entire department to fix disciplinary issues and rectify things resolving from complaints, I think you have unrealistic expectations. Now, on the general part, I admit that there were a lot of fuckups this round. Some were mine, a lot were beholden to Officers’ Behavior that ended up being attributed to me, and I’m not denying that I fucked up certain things during this particular round. It got really fucky wucky ! I was going a little kooky trying to take care of it! Other than that, if you have anything else for me, I’ll address that as well.

Khaled should be banned. Why ? Because he's cringe. Cringe characters deserve to be quality filtered out of Aurora. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, and make sure to like comment, and subscribe.

I had heard about that but I didn’t want to evaporate my manpower during a merc attack. If the situation had resolved I would have dealt with them. "Additionally, keep your character's goals in mind. For example, as security, during a traitor round, your goal is not to catch traitors, but ensure the safety of the station and provide assistance as needed." Forgot to address this, but thank you for telling me how to do my job, very cool! Haha believe it or not bro the vault is kind of a big deal and I kind of have to keep it secure! I guess I overstepped by boundaries by defending it though, after all, all I do is valid in your opinion!

Yes, it was decided that you be detained after we found out you succ'd Riker. Typical security v. vamp move. I did indeed give you back your headset and PDA. Like I said, I can't micromanage the actions of every single member of my department, especially not during a round that was as chaotic as this. As for the neglect, I ordered the processing and listed out the charges fairly early on. Like I said, I only noticed the gasping person later on because of how hectic everything was. It was getting a little crazy up in there! It was making me kinda kooky! Medical can survive without their CMO. Thank you for appreciating the fact that I can't be everywhere at once, and that I can't micromanage everyone, despite what happened. If I could keep track of everyone and do everything for them like some sort of omnipotent god than obviously things would have gone a lot different.

If I remember correctly, I stood there for a minute or two to talk to you about your memory loss and then went back to my office. Yeah bro, I don't know, maybe I wasn't quick to cow to you because I was busy with other things. When the Captain arrived I was suspended, no big deal. the CSI purposely stood in the way, as I had been told. Friendly fire also happens more often than you think. Want me to prosecute for that, buddy ? "We need to understand the situation so we can keep the rest of the players informed". I don't think absolutely everyone on the station has to be informed of the break-in. I've already posted my reasoning on this, basically beating a dead horse. You haven't addressed the other things I have said in my response.

Alright, I'll bite. I can accept this critique because while I personally think that it is the opposite, that security exists to defend corporate property first and foremost (as they are not an actual police force) and ought to lay down their lives for it, as it is indeed their job as security, I can accept that that one moment was a little goofy and I probably should have taken the more cautious approach. As to why I died early on, I got trapped in the vault area and was separated from security during the copious use of smoke grenades. The guy popped out with a bullpup he had stolen from us and opened fire. Not much you can do against a bullpup, sadly.

Right so, first off, you're already lying, nice start. Luna Evans tried to shield the suspect and was pushed out of the way, as I had it reported to me. As for the Captain's ID, I didn't even have it, the Chief Engineer did, and he grabbed it so that we could get into the vault without being fried by the turrets. I didn't say "I am the law", if I remember, I didn't answer you at all, because you bitching on command wasn't exactly my priority when I was dealing with mercs/raiders/whatever stealing from the vault. I didn't "refuse to reign in my department", I simply had other things to do outside of deal with your minuscule drama over a surgeon while we were dealing with heavily armed gunmen in the vault. Uh, no ? There might have been a "Hey what's up with X" and I respond with "because of Y" and it would have been an "ok thank you" ticket closed type of thing that sometimes happens, but I've not been ahelped about anything else, this is your power fantasy, you know that this is not true. What valids ? Sorry to inform you, Chief, but I consider the Vault to be worth the lives of my meagerly paid Security Officers. Does it sound fucked up ? Yeah. Is it fucked up ? Yeah. Is it the reality of the situation, however ? Yeah. You're right, I am loyalty implanted....astute...observation...lol ? Ah, yes, the little code change that could. The code change to code blue was because of a break-in into the construction area. Sorry if I did not find it pressing to inform you of all of the details when the Directive 11 guidelines literally say When it becomes clear that an significant incident is arising that could effect standard operations of the station or cause significant damage to crew or property. The Code change was put in place for a while so that it would make our lives easier dealing with the construction area situation and because it was a minor security incident that deserved enough attention to have a code change. Sorry that when I do my job I don't do it to appease you specifically in your very specific wants and needs in a Head of Security, nor inform command of every detail outside of the vague answers that I already gave you, because that was literally all you needed to know because it didn't affect anyone in such a manner that warranted it. Alb didn't inform me of any regulation, he basically just cleared me. How do I ignore anything in the favor of 'winning' ? I play a character that responds to security situations based on what he thinks should reasonably happen and based on the information that gets to him, often second hand, often not very reliable. As for what you're actually complaining about, I was blowing smoke up your ass to get you to back off since you kept trying to vote kick on every single thing that I did like some sort of child. Bruh you aided an antagonist escape that ended up with her being gunned down dead. You are downplaying your own involvement and feigning innocence. You were handcuffed to a chair for 20 minutes with no sentence because I had no time to micromanage you when I had many other things to deal with, and while I apologize for the delay in your sentencing, and how my officers allegedly went against my orders and gave you lengthy sentence, I was busy dealing with other things and couldn't give you the personal attention you desired. The guy handcuffed in the chair in processing went sicko mode in the lobby with a stolen beepsky stun baton, I called for medical later on because I don't have the time to micromanage every prisoner that came in and only noticed the gasping after I had came back after a while. It's easy for you to sit there and seethe because you were captured but I was busy zipping around doing a lot of other shit and I was quite frankly overwhelmed. Yeah, I was busy doing other things and wasn't keeping up with the command drama. I was also meeting up with a Vaurca cadet to get him his Avowal of Responsibility paperwork so he could be an Officer. I wasn't going to ruin one of the few chances he probably had at getting that Avowal just because you were seething over comms. Not even going to address this first prompt because it's just stupid. Okay, then let them speak, I can address them. Don't come at me with that "believable character" crap. Do you think that a CMO who supposedly is a very well spoken, very well educated man like yours is supposed to be would throw a fit over literally anything revolving around security or command decisions that he finds unfavorable to his personal moral opinion ? Does NanoTrasen hire children like your Chief Medical Officer who, as a believable character would, on an earlier round, facilitate mass suicide and volunteer himself to become a skeleton because "lol why not". This is hypocrisy of the highest order, and it isn't even true. I was not coached on regulations by any admin during this round, this is your power fantasy. Did I fuck up this round ? Yeah, I made a few fucking mistakes, but I did what I did with the information I had and how I think my character would have gone about doing it. If you don't agree with that that's perfectly fine, nobody is forcing you to like me or like my character.

Ceres’ Lance is a completely different organization so I don’t really care about what they do. This is for police enforcement against IPCs and untagged shells. The government doesn’t contract PMCs to enforce their own laws. They’re meant to be similar to bladerunners but multiple elements have already been changed, along with their function.

The loreman requests, and as such, I abide.

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Police Organization Describe this proposal in a single sentence (12 word maximum): A task force of detectives who investigate untagged IPCs and IPC crimes. How will this be reflected on-station? Will hopefully help to reinforce the illegality of untagged IPCs and the consequences that come with it. Also on-station references are always cool. Does this faction/etc do anything not achieved by what already exists? Ayup Why should this be given to lore developers rather than remain player created lore? Because I think it can be molded into something that everyone can enjoy, and help reinforce the current atmosphere regarding synthetics, and their statuses as slaves, second class citizens, and property. Do you understand that if this is submitted, you are signing it away to the lore team, and that it's possible that it will change over time in ways that you may not forsee? Ayup Long Description: The Premise: The status of IPCs in the galaxy is that of slavery. While free IPCs are fair and few between, they are overshadowed by the sheer number of owned IPCs throughout human space. In Dominia, the crime of existence as an IPC is subject to immediate dismantlement. In the Jargon Federation, the same is true. In the Solar Alliance, discrimination against IPCs runs rampant, as many view them to only be tools for the usage of their owners, and nothing more. It is considered illegal, especially in Tau Ceti, to be an untagged IPC, punishable by upwards to dismantlement. Dorne, and his pro-synthetic government, however, use another term. In order to be more politically correct, the new terminology coined for the capture and dismantlement of IPCs in Tau Ceti, is called "retirement". It used to be that police were able to retire untagged IPCs quickly and easily, as it was impossible for them to hide, with an obvious skeletal frame. However, the government soon became increasingly frightened by the prospect of untagged shells infiltrating the government, coinciding with several terrorist attacks and other incidents being confirmed as having been perpetuated by untagged shells. To this end, a special committee commissioned the FIB to study a new technique in catching untagged shells, to which they suggested, that a specialized police unit, being made up primarily of detectives, would be the most effective way to counter the terroristic threat. These specialized police units soon came to be called "Shellcrackers". The Organization: When the FIB filed their suggestion, they themselves did not create any "Shellcracker" units. To this end, the many metropolitan police agencies on Biesel and New Gibson created their own units. The most infamous of these is in Mendell City, where the MCPD has the largest and most effective Shellcracker unit in the entire nation. Shellcracker units are comprised almost entirely of police detectives, and their responsibilities include not only hunting down untagged shells, but also to assist police in retiring untagged IPCs and investigating claims of untagged IPCs across the city. While "retirement" mostly means transporting a captured IPC back to the factory for dismantlement, occasionally a violent IPC will be retired by a Shellcracker in the streets, and sold off as scrap to help fund the budget of the MCPD. Controversy: Shellcrackers are a fairly new inception, even with the legality of untagged shells and IPCs having always been unquestionably illegal in the Tau Ceti system. Many in the SIM have begun to lobby with the government for the shut-down of the controversial shellcracker units, and multiple violent protests have been held over the span of a few years protesting against "the inhumane murder of synthetics", and additionally the "corrupt policing tactics used by shellcracker units against individuals that they find inferior to themselves simply due to their status as an IPC". Overall: I mean, that's pretty much it. I think it makes sense to the universe and it's not too heretical when it comes to referencing, as I edited the name of "bladerunner" to "shellbreaker". It is my hope that it is differential enough to not be considered a copy of bladerunners but also helps to retain the same meaning. I left some stuff ambiguous and vague/not fleshed out and such because hopefully if this gets accepted the loremins will take it in a good direction and go from there, seeing as it's very thematically appropriate to the IPCs and their relation to the government of Biesel. I also think that it would add some good RP onboard, and help increase tensions between TV heads and non-TV heads, which should exist anyways. May or may not edit later on, but this is it for now. Nomenclature: The official name for "shellcracker" units are IPC special investigatory units. The official name for a detective working in one of these units is an "Synthetic investigative and retirement specialist". The colloquial name, as given by the inhabitants of primarily Mendell City, and especially within MCPD, are "shellcracker". As they are mainly armed with weaponry that's main purpose is the destruction of shells and IPC frames, along with psychological and physical techniques used that essentially resort to torture, many have begun to call the detectives "shellcrackers".

Reporting Personnel: John Brandy Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Solar Consulate Officer Game ID: b2u-aui1 Personnel Involved: - Muhuurla'Khala Shm'ta, Paramedic, Offender. - Kaden, Security Officer, Witness. - Marc Price, Head of Security, Witness. - Elspeth Grant, Detective, Witness. - John Brandy, Solar Consulate Officer, Victim. Time of Incident: Throughout the shift, 09:00-11:00 Real Time: 8-9 PM PST Location of Incident: NSS Aurora, Consular's Office, Bridge Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ X ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ X] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ X ] - Misconduct [ X] - Other Targeted campaign based off of nationality and political beliefs. Overview of the Incident: I was attempting to do my job this shift, when a certain Tajara paramedic, Muhuurla'Khala Shm'ta, initiated a vendetta against my person based on my nationality as a Solarian and my political affiliation. Early in the shift, he tore down my Sol Alliance flag, defacing my consulate. He then threw trash and other items at the windows of my consulate for no reason other than to spite my person. He continually remarked about how he hated me, and attempted to get individuals to sign a "petition" to get me "kicked off the station". He also continually insulted me, both in person and in comms, throughout the entire shift with no recourse, despite continual security interventions to get him to stop harassing me. He called my many names, in which he also called me both a fascist, a communist, and also a racist, for no reason other than my unspoken political affiliation, which I did not promote throughout the entire shift, and the only reason he knew was because he saw an armband I had on underneath my suit jacket. I had attempted to reason with this individual multiple times before, and in the meeting between him, I, and the Captain he cited his service in the TCFL and his desire to punish Solarians due to Frost's invasion and ATLAS's "Genocide against the Tajara". Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: I did not report it, nor did the offender, however, the Captain, Quintin Copperfield, still intervened in the situation. Actions taken: Formal injunction between the offender and me, issued by Captain Quintin Copperfield. Additional Notes: This continual harassment seems to coincide with a malignant Anti-Sol attitude, and I feel as if this issue needs to be resolved so this does not happen again to me or any other Solarian consul.

BYOND Key: Outboarduniform/Outboard#4234 (Discord)Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: Not sure, but I think it was ShadowReason of Ban: Not sure of the official reasonReason for Appeal: Embarrassingly enough, I forgot that I was banned and came onto the server with my new account (as my old one got nuked somehow). So, why was I banned ? Well, basically, I was just an asshole who did nothing but insult other people in chat and was generally a cynical and unlikable person on discord. As for the specific incident, I believe I was bantering with Lord Fowl over something minor when I decided to say something that was very over the line and uncalled for. Anyways, I've been gone for about half a year or so and I think I've definitely grown out of my former asshole self to understand that what I did was wrong and uncalled for, and I would like to think that I would deserve a second chance on the discord server.

I, Albert Weiss, Security Officer, would like to register my interest in this meeting.

BYOND Key: Outboarduniform Total Ban Length: Permanent (Discord) Banning staff member's Key: No idea, it’s been ages Reason of Ban: Rejoining and leaving to remove the meme role, I think Reason for Appeal: So, I PMed a staff member about getting unbanned from the discord and they told me to post it here. From what I remember, I was doing the normal thing I did on discord. Shitposting and linking spicy memes, getting into heated political debates in the thunderdome, etc. Then I got the meme role. No explanation, no anything, just Garn/Shadow/someone pinging me with “This is your home now”. I didn’t feel like just sitting essentially muted from everything except the shitpost channel without a reason so I just left and rejoin. I did this about 3 times before I got banned for “punishment evading”. Now I thought this was pretty stupid, but I swallowed the ban and moved on with it. I then started to talk in the IC discord, then I ended up getting warned or something over something petty and told that “this wasn’t an official Aurora server and I could get banned here in a second” or something along those lines. I ended up saying something back that got me banned off there by the same admin, I believe. Now, the thing about being banned from the discord is that it’s the same as being kicked from the OOC community. You don’t get to see the new developments, the new lore stuff, etc. I’m not really asking for much, but I want to be able to actually get back into the Aurora community if I can. I don’t know if there’s actual any grievances you may have against that as all I did was relatively harmless shitposting.

Can't we just pull a Baystation and only make Concentrated Ambrosia illegal ? Concentrated Ambrosia being Space Drugs, that is.

abuse me mod daddy

Most of these were ignored simply because it was easier to, tbh. Also, the Unathi would simply say 'fukk offf you filthyy humie i'ma free ligger who has too much honoir to sign a loyalty contract thingy.'

Another solution is to simply copy the Lifeweb Thanati system. Instead of different 'paths', per se, as you are referring to, we have the different 'circles'. The circle of malice, the circle of traps, etc. In the Thanati system you have to manually set up the runes (Sigil) and manually invoke them with the certain phrase that correlates with the circle that the ritual is associated with. Ex: Circle of Malice must be invoked when doing a ritual within the Circle of Malice. I always thought that cult needed a rework anyways, and is simply too simplistic in my opinion.

I'll throw my outdated 2 cents in: Usually, hostage situations are handled poorly because of 2 Facts: 1) Idiot officers who ignore the HoS's orders and move in for 'muh hero glory' 2) poor preparation/judgement by command at that time. It is always best to attempt to have a peaceful resolution, or, on the other hand, stall them long enough for security to get ready and in position. People who's mantra is 'We don't negotiate with terrorists' are the incompetent fools who have no clue what the hell they're doing.

I've been terribly inactive for the past 2-3 months, but if I recall last, I believe Anti-Synths were completely dominating the competition. unless there was some dramatic win that nulled the Anti-Synths advantage, I would be kinda suprised. I thought it ended a while back as well...huh.

Hammerstein is particularly annoying....the only real upside to him is that he supplies security with a mech...usually. other than that, he usually steals most of the engineering supplies, harasses the captain for teleporter access. Also, he sings in german, has a thick german accent, is a nazi. his entire character is pure cringe.
