BYOND Key: SueTheCake Player Byond Key: See Below Reason for complaint: This is a complaint mostly aimed at the cultists that were in science that round, of which were Carlos Cortez, Quinn Giroux, and others. Basically, rather than interacting with the crew at large, the majority group of cultists (likely the 'main bunch', as I assume Carlos was the one leading everything amongst sciencecult) proceeded to confine themselves to the cameraless artifact storage room on the research outpost for nearly the entire round, with most if not all of the non-science cultists having been roundstart. They made no effort to interact with anyone outside of their department and simply powergamed words and cult mechanics in total seclusion until they decided to board the station, gather everyone who did nothing that round in the holodeck, and arbitrarily summon Nar-Sie with absolutely no build up or interaction at all. It is my belief that this behavior should be considered unacceptable, poor roleplay, and powergamey. I do not want punitive action taken against these individuals; rather, I would like staff to consider just how boring and non-inclusive a stealth cult can be and in the future punish individuals or groups of cultists who sit in isolation to simply research words and beg ghosts to help them summon Nar-Sie when they decide to come out of hiding simply to end the round. I feel that, while one could argue that roleplay between cultists is a defense, that the actual reason an antagonist exists - especially in cult - is not to just sit in seclusion and roleplay with other cultists, but to make the round fun for other players. From what I could tell, the majority of cultists were scientists and I regularly ghosted to observe them on the outpost; they rarely left and kept to themselves. I feel that this is counterproductive to the type of roleplay an antagonist should support; you aren't there to have spooky Nar-Sie RP with your fellow cultists but to make the rounds interesting for the server as a whole. Sitting in the outpost for more than two hours and only showing up just to lol-summon Nar-Sie is reprehensible in my opinion and I only wish staff to consider these points and put a stop to these events before they happen in the future. The cultists were: Chendelure was Allison Shen (died) Dr_thingamajig was Quinn Giroux (died) MasterZipZero was Raelene Sagan (died) LeonMiguel was Edmund Flashman-Adler (body destroyed) Echotango23 was Carlos Cortez (died) Joodles was Sawyer Merryman (died) Ryog was Basko Kromm (died) Xuforfid was Moya Desecrata (died) Andrew Knight was Cassian Nash (body destroyed) CoolfoolFTW was Frank Parkinson (died) Andrew Knight was Eric Marriman (died)

I am capable of understanding the reasoning for adding antagonists after consecutive extended rounds, and that, I will not contest. Given that Frances was unaware of this, I am willing to accept her apology and consider the complaint concluded now that I am assured this will not occur again.

'Admin picked antags are not the same' is an entirely subjective viewpoint and one I've not seen much evidence to support. Admins have selected antagonists that continue the boring 'explode everything' mantra that seems to be plaguing the server recently and I as a player have very little reason to trust the judgement of some person that an admin thinks is an alright antagonist; the notion that the people picked by admins must be good isn't infallible. Someone you may believe to be a good antagonist I may detest. I don't find this to be a justifiable reason. People regularly try to transfer out of extended because they're incapable of roleplay without a revolver being shoved down their throat; I wouldn't blame the gamemode for the shortcomings of the player base. Rather, I would say that people wanting out of an extended round an hour in should deal with their predicament because they as players: Knew what they were getting into, knew that 'no randumb explosions' were going to happen, knew that there'd be no antagonists, and knew that it would just be 'chair rp' so they had plenty of reason not to join. I reiterate, going and playing another game is something people should do instead of staying and complaining which accomplishes nothing. My complaint was never the time of adding antags; it was adding them at all. This is the part where you're most incorrect. With no offense to you, you are far from an active admin and I only see you on near the end of the night if at all; thusly I feel that you appraisal of 'not changing anything drastically' is vastly incorrect. Had you been more active this past week you would have noticed the steady decline of both the quality of roleplay as well as players coupled with numerous nuclear, rev, and other mass-destruction rounds wherein the escalation of force is done entirely improperly and you have bombings twelve minutes into the round. This also ties in with a previous point; the people you believe to be good antagonists does not mean that they actually are, or have the potential to be. I realize that in auto traitor it picks from a hat and you're more than likely to get a bald idiot, but I would prefer that to preparing to join a round only to find that it has been entirely ruined by the addition of antagonists. Speaking personally, I don't care how non-desruptive an antagonist is. It may be slightly metagamey, but when it's extended I know I can sit down and take a break and relax from code work or something else that's been taking up my time to play a peaceful round - though lately we have more people trying to 'make things interesting' - without knowing that somewhere down the line there's going to be a bomb that blows up half the station or something equally stressful. When I vote extended, I don't want antagonists at all. I want an opportunity to roleplay without disruption - something that is increasingly becoming harder to do - and just have fun for once. This is legitimate problem with the voting system and I feel it needs to be changed. However, it is automatic. This does not justify your conduct. The conversation would have continued had people proven able to discuss it properly. Additionally, it had already been mentioned several times that the argument could have been taken to the forums (which is what happened, which I appreciate.) So it's not like I was attempting to cut off all discussion on this. I will not apologize for words that I believe needed to be said. As I stated previously, you have been highly inactive on the server save for drop off periods at night and you haven't witnessed the glaring amounts of stupidity that have occurred within the past week or so; so much so that it has driven several people I would consider good roleplayers to take breaks from the server altogether, and admittedly it has also made me question whether or not I want to sit out and take a break. From my perspective, I simply saw you, an inactive administrator waltz in and with no justification or ground to stand on radically change the gamemode to please this crowd of people and therefore deprive me of a round that I wished to take part in; I still feel this to be the case now, which has lead to this complaint. In essence, the logical argument is that a gamemode was voted and during no other mode but extended will admins make a vote to entirely change how the round operates. I do not buy the justifications of 'admin picked antags are better' nor do I buy 'they won't disrupt anything' because it is simply your word up against what I have experienced on the server. Moreover, I feel that it is particularly unfair to entirely undo a legitimately voted round (whether or not an antag is overt is irrelevant; extended is a mode without antags, and you are adding them. You are changing the mode regardless of how you wish to justify it) to cater to people that are within their capacity to go SSD and play something else. Everyone else who despises nuke, changeling, traitor, rev, cult (especially cult, since your server seems to hate it very much) doesn't sit around and call votes early or bitch constantly in OOC; they play another game or do something else entirely. I fail to see any justification for not giving the people who like extended this same common courtesy but instead deprive them of it. It also disturbs me that you would ever use 'too peaceful' as a justification for anything. I was unaware that the baseline example for a round must be one including repeated murders and explosions, and thus by extension any round where these do not take place deserves to have antags added to it to 'add fun'. I feel that I don't need you to add fun, as I am perfectly capable of making it myself. And I also feel that adding antagonists is counter-productive especially for people - such as myself - who like to join a round and know what they're getting into. When I see extended I know I can take a break and just roleplay. Adding antagonists means that not only do I have to deal with your standard fare of dummies but now antagonists as well, and that isn't what I or others may have originally signed on to deal with. You are basically telling everyone who has been there from he start that wants extended that their vote was invalid and that antags are now being added, instead catering to the people who join extended knowing exactly what choice they made and what they've gotten into that complain and cry when nothing happens to distract them for ten seconds.

BYOND Key: SueTheCake Staff BYOND Key: ffrances Reason for complaint: Undermining community decisions; baselessly overriding game mode results Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: Following a vote wherein extended won as the majority gamemode and someone broke the rules by calling a transfer early, Frances took it upon herself to call a vote asking if the server wanted antagonists. This is not the first instance where Frances has done this and I highly doubt unless this behavior is curbed it will be the last. I don't believe the premise of being able to change the entire game mode with a simple vote should be something admins can do, given the fact that there is already a vote where you can say if you want antagonists or not - the gamemode vote. I take issue with several of Frances justifications and actions in this context, first and foremost the way she ended the argument; that being: "It's been voted for, end of story." Then why did you change the gamemode from extended to traitor? It was voted for. End of story. Further expanding upon this point, Frances claimed the reason for the vote was due to the notion that 'half of the people on the server' wanted to get off; yet this is not a justification at all. Each player is given a vote with which they can pick the gamemode that they wish to play at the start of the round. People who come on and regularly bitch about extended then immediately vote for a transfer whenever it pops up are people that I feel need not be catered to. When it is nuclear, I don't adminhelp and request that admins change the gamemode to suit my tastes. I instead ensure that I perform a revolutionary concept; playing something else. Trying to justify undermining half of the server to cater to the other half (the vote for traitors was 12 to 16, hardly enough to be considered a majority) when the people who don't like extended are well within their abilities to go somewhere else or play something else is folly to me. When I see a gamemode I don't like I more often than not go play something else; I don't call early votes, I don't ask admins to change the round type, and I certainly don't think Frances would start a vote in a changeling round to change it to extended. This fosters more hatred against the gamemode and people will start believing that any time it is voted it they can just get admin staff to arbitrarily change it. As well as that, in this specific instance, I don't believe Frances was in the right given the numbers of votes - four people tipped the balance. That is hardly enough to call it a majority. It was highly contested both in votes and OOC. People that late join after seeing the round type and complain have no one but themselves to blame; I take great issue in the fact that Frances seems to find it acceptable to override gamemodes that are legitimately voted in with no respect to the way things normally work and I would like the ultimate outcome of this complaint to stop this nonsense all together. I do not believe it is healthy. I do not believe it is justifiable or fair, and I certainly don't find it okay to ruin the rounds of half of the people on the server arbitrarily.

That doesn't look good. Deal w/it, skrub. I'll fix it later.

Pretty sure it's also technically counterfeiting so.

I'm also wholly for the entire axing of wizard based on the sheer fact it's stupid. You're correct in your understanding of my argument. You could be an RP god talking about Elvis Presley as your one an only savior with his brother the Space Pizza and whatever, and I'd still be against it. I don't believe the quality of roleplay should factor in; The Space Pizza has no place being discussed on a heavy roleplay server irregardless how well it is roleplayed out. As you said, there is a thin line between 'silly' and 'horrible'. However it seems that for me that line is a lot thinner than for you. I'm perfectly fine with silly things happening so long as they are within reason and don't require me to take my suspension of disbelief and behead it like Marie Antoinette. Jason Sanders being the Crimson Crow is an example of this; it's silly, but not too overly so. I can handle it, and deal with it ICly. The line between this and what I'd consider 'roleplay not becoming of a heavy RP server' would be crossing over into 'Praise the Emprah' Warhammer 40k religions. I've seen silly stuff done on server. I've been okay with most of it. However, in this case, multiple factors are considered. The greasers in question have handled this in an arrogant fashion and disregarded staff suggestions to tone down their over-the-top characters, with Festus instead going ahead and making a Warhammer chaplain/taking part in that whole scenario. The silliness is okay once in awhile, which I believe is an argument you made, but it becomes repetitive when done often. This is true, and therein lies the problem; the greasers aren't the only perpetrators of 'outlandish/potentially offensive silliness'. I can think of many others, the first of which coming to mind are transgender characters with no concept of the source material they're pulling from. Having to deal with some vigilante in a red suit once in awhile is fine. It's silly. I can suspend my disbelief enough to believe that. I can handle it ICly. Preaching about the Imperium, holding Elvis Presley as a god, worshipping music and social statuses six hundred years in the past, as well as antagonistic actions as non-antags, I can't. Extending the line too much is, I believe, counter-productive to the quality of this server as a whole.

I have literally not seen you on server since I first started playing here. Perhaps this is too blunt, but I don't think you have the required experience to say exactly how these people are influencing the round when you've never actually been on to see them at all. And yes, I do have a problem with all of those things. If you as a staff member are trying to justify the /religious worship/ of Elvis Presley because he has the moniker 'King of Rock', then perhaps the sour taste left in my mouth after this whole ordeal is wholly justified. The religion is outlandish and makes no sense and the concept of some social group from a ten year period of human history nearly three quarter of a thousand years ago becoming some sort of cult thing is equally hard to swallow. I would make the same argument about a Head of Security worshiping a /blood god/ and the rest of the stupid religions that pop up, which, as a matter of fact, is related to this complaint. Festus_Crane has played a chaplain recently who began to preach a religion ripped straight from Warhammer 40k, something about some Imperial Cult. Screaming about 'the Emperor' over comms and denouncing all xenos. Given that Frances, irregardless of my disagreement with her lack of action on this, as well as Skull talked about toning things down, this leads me to believe that Festus hasn't actually listened or learned anything from the staff responses in this topic. He continues to make outlandish characters that make obscene amounts of pop-culture references and has treated this whole affair extremely arrogantly, which has been stated previously. Whether or not people have fun playing these characters is irrelevant. These people are more than capable of going to another server with rules that are more lax like /tg/ station or Goonstation to perform the same atmosphere-destroying feat that they've done here. In fact, I'd expect someone to be screaming 'Praise the Emprah' over the radio on Goon because of the nature of the place. Seeing it done /here/, and seeing staff /attempt to justify it/ is extremely off-putting and leads me to question staff judgement. I was utterly speechless that, ignoring your inactivity as well as a presumed gross lack of information on this topic, you even dared to claim that they add 'atmosphere' to the station. I wouldn't think I'd need to remind a member of the staff team of the two small words that appear in the window of the game client; those being 'Heavy Roleplay'. I'm sure our Lore team has slaved for weeks of in depth backstory and fluff so that someone can ignore it all, shit all over it, and come on screaming about praising the Emperor and heresy, or lauding Elvis Presley as a god. Perhaps in the wake of a power struggle and swapping of positions the staff team has forgotten what 'believability' is, or 'heavy roleplay'. This is the sort of chucklefuckery that I would not have expected from this server and even still I fail to understand why staff members are attempting to defend and justify this given that it violates probably not only the lore, but immersion and atmosphere as well. I fail to understand why you believe allowing behavior more conducive to a light RP environment is a good idea on a server that boasts itself to be all about the 'heavy' roleplay, and I fail to see how anyone can sit down and seriously look at 'a religion based around Elvis' as a legitimate or even reasonable thing. Whether or not it's fun is irrelevant. You can be creative and make an interesting religion that achieves the same purpose without blatantly chucklefucking about, gang beating people and screaming about the 'EMPRAH' over the radio.

I would also like to bring the sheer arrogance of these keys to attention after administration stepped in once they beat someone to near death. Responding to a staff member's justification for "putting a stop to the gang things", the 'leader' linked in OOC a google doc with a beautiful header that consisted of: They then began to attempt to justify their behavior and displayed a clear lack of understanding as to the real issue at hand.

BYOND Key: SueTheCake Player Byond Key: Festus_Crane, Jenalele, Sanguine416, CraftingCK Reason for complaint: Get ready for a long read. For awhile now, the server has sometimes been graced by a metabuddy group of 'Greasers' that seek to emulate actual Greasers from the 1950s, going so far as to wear pompadours, blast original rock over the comms, and establish a 'Church of Rock' with Elvis Presley as the lord and savor or something equally asinine. This is the reason for my complaint; I view this behavior to be reprehensible and destructive in its nature. While at first it may have gotten a few chuckles and was a little bit funny, they have continued to extend the joke and beat the proverbial dead horse with an unrelenting desire to completely and utterly overturn suspension of disbelief and in-character immersion. While this may be tolerated on some other servers, I was under the impression Aurora Station is heavy roleplay and I feel that administration has failed to provide a legitimate reason for inaction over behavior that, quite frankly, I'd expect from /tg/station. To create an environment conducive to roleplay, things are policed by administration - things like character actions. Characters with unbelievable or snowflakey backgrounds are contacted by administration (usually), unrealistic actions are questioned and adminhelped, and joke characters are mostly swiftly dealt with. In light of this, I would like to bring attention to this group of players as as far as I am concerned they fall into this group here. I feel that these repeated rounds spent with 3 assistants flocking around a chaplain preaching about the 'Church of Rock' add nothing to the round but blatant stupidity and degrade in-character immersion. Given that Aurora is touted as a heavy roleplay server, I would appreciate if this issue was handled in a more official capacity. I do not see a justification for allowing this behavior to continue short of 'but its funny', and even that stands on such shakey ground. Why would NanoTrasen allow a 'Church of Rock' onto their station? What would possess people in the far flung future to worship Elvis Presley and a ten year period in human history? In our current day and age, we do not have people that worship Benjamin Franklin or what have you, so I fail to see how this 'Church of Rock' can even be considered a realistic institution that would even be recognized by the Alliance as a legitimate religion. Further, since Greasers are traditionally gangs of perturbed youth, and that NanoTrasen would have access to and would certainly perform background checks on individuals - Police in our current day and age keep tabs on individuals suspected of participating in gang activity and these notes would be on their criminal record. Assuming this is a gang (as they have repeatedly attempted to mug people, while non-antags before), I fail to see why the company would bother employing gang members at all, no less assigning members of a gang to the same station thereby increasing the chances of them performing gang-related actions. It is my firm-held belief that the individuals presented here have failed to grasp the intent of this server and seem to have confused it with /tg/station or some such. They add nothing to the round but some bad Fonz impressions, emotes about 50s music over the radio, and other outdated references that are not funny and achieve nothing beyond the destruction of immersion and the fourth wall by being blatantly awful. I do not believe 'it is fun' or 'its funny' or even 'don't ban fun then we'll be hitler' are anywhere close to actual justifications for allowing this sort of behavior to propagate, because that is the same bad, slippery slope logic used by Baystation which has literally turned into /tg/station 2.0 because of the obscene amounts of stupid shenanigans they allow over there. I would like action to be taken, mostly to put a stop to this whole thing more than anything, so that we may return to a bearable IC atmosphere without an OOC metacommunication team cracking jokes about 'malt shops' over the radio. isnt this funny gais rofl xd

Realistically speaking, they shouldn't be. At least autopsies performed on murder victims. There are four types of autopsies in two categories; medical and legal autopsies. Forensic autopsies are legal ones and are performed when the cause of death may be a criminal matter. Contrastingly, a clinical or academic autopsy is performed to find the medical cause of death and is often used for research purposes. Basically, you have... Forensic autopsies performed by a coroner. Clinical or pathological autopsies are performed for research purposes or to diagnose a disease. Academic autopsies are performed by students on cadavers. Then you have virtual autopsies which are performed using an MRI. Something along those lines. So, strictly speaking, a medical doctor has no business performing a forensic autopsy. They are typically performed by coroners; a state has a handful of coroner's in its employ and they 99% of the time handle bodies related to a murder or other loss of life due to a criminal. The minimum qualifications to serve as a forensic pathologist include a doctorate with a specialty in general anatomy as well as a study into forensic medicine. Also, coroners are government officials, really. The skill set required for a legal autopsy would more than likely fall under the role of Forensics Tech than it would Medical Doctor unless you're playing a specially skilled doctor. Then you have medical examiners which are like psuedocoroners since some jurisdictions of the United States use them instead of coroners but explaining this gigantic web of semantics (and also other bullshit because each state has it's own requirements for a coroner/medical examiner) would take like forever. So there you have the reason why medical should not perform autopsies. They're not qualified unless otherwise stated by an individual doctor. Anyway, that aside, progress!

Greetings, fellow forensic technician! I see you're getting accustomed to your new lab rather well. While that's good and all, you'll notice some very serious changes to the standard equipment allotted to forensic investigators here. No more dinky scanner! The company finally upped our budget. That said, however, I feel it is imperative that I re-instruct you on how to use some of these high-tech and scary machines. While I'm sure this must seem like a waste of time for you given your credentials, I think it'd still be best just to touch base. After all, who knows? You could have become a slovenly, dim-witted sloth after mindlessly scanning things for all these years! Ho ho ho. Let's go over your equipment! I'm sure even you know what this is. That's right! Your very own crime scene kit, stylishly made from the finest materials with a stainless steel exterior and plush velvet lining. Even the largest tools will feel comfortable here! And you probably could clock somebody in the head with it if you really wanted to. Ah, this takes me back to my days in university. Fingerprinting dust and accompanying brush. A very crude but effective method, it has been employed by humans for hundreds of years and we have somehow refined the act of taking prints into an art. What's that? You don't know what fingerprinting dust is? Ho ho ho! I've forgotten. Yes, your NanoTrasen brand All-In-One scanning device handled that for you before, didn't it? Well, don't worry. Your scanner won't be picking up prints anymore. Oh, don't look so sad! It's not hard! Just sprinkle a bit of dust on the brush and carefully search for prints. Easy as pie! (pie not included.) Now here we- No, don't drink that! Goodness, what kind of forensic technician are you anyway...? Ah well, regardless, here we have one of my personal favorite tools, luminol! And a stylish pair of orange goggles to go along with it. Yes, I bet you feel all foolish now that you tried to drink- hmmh? You don't... know what luminol is either? Oh dear. Well, you see, blood is a very tricky substance to clean properly. Washing a pair of shoes in the sink or tossing your clothes in the washer won't get rid of the trace amounts of blood, and luminol is so named for how it illuminates when it comes into contact with these traces of blood! Though I'm sure you're aware of that, since your NanoTrasen scanner should... what's that? It didn't pick up blood not visible to the naked eye? A shame. Don't worry now, however! Luminol will reveal all the secrets your perps try to hide with a bar of soap. Get some bleach, kids! Cotton swabs! No, these aren't for cleaning your ears. Sit down already, Christ. Instead, these are invaluable tools for the intrepid investigator! Carefully sterilized tips allow for the precise collection of samples from saliva to blood and even swabbing the palms of a suspected gunman! Any evidence you collect with your swabs will be processed by our highly specialized machinery (which will be detailed soon, calm down, kid) which will help you hammer those final nails in the coffin of the perp. Since your scanner isn't good for DNA anymore, you can collect it from blood pools or drops with a swab and get the DNA of suspects by swabbing the inside of the mouth! But what makes it even better is that you can also instead choose to swab their palms for gunshot residue (woah, big words!) and examine the collection under a microscope to determine whether or not the suspect has fired a weapon. The power of science! Stop pushing the goddamn buttons. You didn't even let me finish speaking. Company hiring policies must be in the shitter. Right. This here is NanoTrasen's patented Quik-Skan (TM, patent pending) DNA scanning computer. Simply insert the vials you have containing a valid DNA sample, press the start button, and watch it buzz and whir as it reads and then prints data for each sample inserted! Woah! Cool! Action figures not included! Ah, microscopes. The mainstay of any worthwhile scientist. That's why R&D doesn't have any. Ho ho ho. Regardless, the microscope is an equally important tool in your forensic arsenal! Examination of swab samples allow you to locate gunshot residue left behind after the firing of a gun, and you can even put blood under the microscope! That way you can look at how awful and diseased that nurse down in medbay is from all the time she spends with the chief of medicine and the rest of medical bay! Don't let it touch you, though. Unless you want shingles, of course. Now that you're equipped with all the knowledge you need, let's see how you employ these tools in the field! Atta boy! You've made me proud. Now I have someone else to do my job for me. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to Space Bermuda. Have fun, kid! And don't drink the luminol!

Ana Issek, formerly Ana Ka'Rimah Theme: The storms become especially bad mid-Summer in Lowell City, Mars. Harsh winds blow rust-red sands around in a furious frenzy, driving all but the most brave to seek the shelter of the city buildings. One such individual stood before the entrance to a basement tattoo parlor. The blazing neon sign could barely be seen through the howling gale, the buzzing droned out by the sound of wind. Sometimes it felt as if Mars was trying to reclaim the land humanity had taken back. The flaps of his trenchcoat fluttered as he descended the weathered stone steps, only to be met by a heavy oaken door. Three raps were all it took to summon the proprietor of the establishment; a gruff voice spoke through a slotted window, bright blue eyes visible - clear against the darkness within. "Yer late." "I didn't expect the weather to get so bad. Hurry up and open." The rattling of locks soon followed the brief exchange, and the trenchcoated man found himself standing in a smoke-laden room, enveloped by the hushed whispers of suspicious-looking individuals. As his only escape back out to safety swung shut behind him, the man removed his hat and allowed the miniscule grains of sand to drop from his brim, surveying the area before him. Though the sign outside would have passerby believe the now-defunct building had once housed a tattoo parlor, the reality was far more shocking. Amidst the moldering wallpaper and rotting wood panelling was now a makeshift bar and plenty of customers looking to make a bid for information or other precious things. The corners of his well-groomed face curled into a frown - he recognized one or two of these men. His colleagues at the precinct. A homicide detective, and another from Vice. Not surprising in the least. A flash of gold from beneath his unbuttoned trenchcoat told the sad tale of his existence, and the reason for his coming here this evening. A figure out of the corner of his eye caught his attention - could this be his informant? The description matched. Though she had her face partly obscured with a headscarf, her species was unmistakable. Blue fur shone under the dim light of an oil lamp, a flash of gold mirroring his own. Upon the table before her was a badge much like his. His footsteps sounded heavy as he approached, even to him. The suffocating atmosphere of the basement made him feel as if he was being watched; and he was. The eyes of fellow officers, emergency personnel, even politicians all gave him passing glances. It didn't deter him, however. The leather seat creaked beneath him as he slid into place across from the female Tajaran, his expression partly concealed by dark sunglasses. She did not seem too surprised to see him, appearing absorbed in searching through her vidphone. "I got your message." His voice quivered slightly, but he managed to get ahold of himself. He didn't want to return here, but it wasn't as if he had a choice. "What did you want to see me for?" The feline shrugged lightly. Her face was dimly illuminated by the holoscreen of her vidphone, and he could see her grinning a toothy grin. It made him feel uneasy. "Suppose got morrre inforrrmation could use. Might be about unsolved homicide down on East side, by new company lab." Already? She was getting close; while at one point he would be happy to hear this, he was in no position to entertain thoughts of investigating now. All he had to do was get the information and get out. Then it'd all be okay. "Really now? I thought that was all hush-hush. The undersherrif wanted it wrapped up quickly. They seem to think they've got all the evidence they need." Again the female Tajaran shrugged. Setting her vidphone down on the table, she reached into a leather satchel lying by her side to produce a rather thick manila folder bearing the seal of the Sol Union Department of Justice. It was heavy enough to produce a resounding thumb as it hit the table. Across the surface was written 'CONFIDENTIAL' in bold red letters. Hesitantly, the trenchcoated man reached out and lifted the cover, visibly sweating as he did so. Sure enough, the documents he had requested were sitting right there before him. At that moment, it felt as if an enormous weight had been lifted off his shoulders. All he would have to do was take this back to his employers and he wouldn't have to worry anymore. "You know," he paused, a soft chuckle welling up from within him, "I wasn't sure whether you'd actually come through for me this time. I don't know how you do what you do." A metallic clicking sound followed his words. Looking up from the case file, he saw the steel barrel of a gun pointed at him. It was at that moment that, for some inexplicable reason, every detail in that firearm was amplified. The contours of the beautifully-crafted metal, the glint of the steel in the dim light, the way the hammer slowly came down to initiate a blaring crescendo. And just as quickly as he looked up, his head was thrown back as the bullet impacted his torso. Blood flowed forth from the hole in his chest, and he clutched at the wound feebly. In his final moments, a flash of gold was the last thing he saw; the casing clattering to the table, still freshly smoking. As his vision faded, the Tajaran rose up and collected the blood-splattered case file. When his last breath left him, she reached across the table to shut his eyes, still wide with abject terror.

Last I checked, the Revs were the antagonists in Revolution, not the heads. Until such a time as the game recognizes the heads as the antagonists they do not fill that position. Rev is not an excuse to roleplay a shithead head. It falls upon the Revs to incite a mutiny. In days of old when I played, revs were clever and framed the heads and security for crimes and abuse and got the station on their side. Stop trying to hand them their reasons on a silver platter. They'll have to work for it. If they don't you get dicks murdering people over paycuts or something equally stupid. That's their fault and not the game's.
