@Josh Remember to read through Nanako's entire post. They were trapped and then ended up dying because of their axe being destroyed because of a bug.

While I may not be involved in this complaint, I believe this section of the rules qualifies me to be able to speak: http://puu.sh/oRz1F/9ceb466a25.png And, my proof will be in the puddin' fairly soon. So Nanako's axe was destroyed because of their internet cutting out, making them drop whatever was in their hands at the time inside the mech, which in turn, makes it disappear. Their reasoning was sound; they brought an axe with them as an emergency tool because they knew they'd get in an area where such a tool would be needed. This is what you would realistically do as a sane human being, and when I read this: http://puu.sh/oRzdh/e09d1927e6.png I thought "Wowee." Jennalele claims that she didn't spawn an axe for Nanako because she was right in the middle of trying not to be murdered by the cult. Yet, as I hear that, I'm drawn back to this piece of evidence: http://puu.sh/oRzls/531426e842.png She still had time to, in numerous instances, say "rip you" over and over again in OOC, which for some reason (Oh, I don't know why) makes me believe that they did in fact, have time to do what Nanako had asked, which was a completely reasonable, perfectly achievable feat. And before I get a barrage of "YOU AREN'T A STAFF MEMBER YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SPAWNING AND AGHOSTING", let me tell you this. I was. I know exactly how to aghost out of my body, jump to someone, bring up the spawn menu, find the fire axe, while looking through a very small selection of text-blocks mind you, and return to my body in less than 5 seconds flat, if even that. Spawning something for someone takes absolutely no time whatsoever if you're looking for something as simple as a fire axe. http://puu.sh/oRzyd/0b46f40ec2.png Again, completely reasonable request. It was only met with more passive-aggressive, snarky remarks in the form of "rip you". It literally takes five seconds, which was more than enough time for you to type "rip you" about four times in OOC. Administrators are expected to be responsive to players, that's correct. However, they are not expected to ignore (or in this case, practically insult) players when a "small bug" ended up killing Nanako, because a tool that they'd brought in advance for this very specific reason was destroyed, because of said bug. I'd also like to bring up the FACT mind you, that administrators do play the game, but you absolutely are obligated to help out the player that's had their experience ruined because of a bug while you're the only staff member online that can actually fix it. How you can even get away with saying this is beyond me; you're an administrator for a reason. You have a history of being brash and quite rude in almost every aspect when it comes to interacting with people, and I can see where Nanako is coming from by looking at the evidence provided. Giving the reason "I couldn't do anything because I play the game too and I was trying to stay safe from the cult" doesn't excuse the fact that you still decided to practically insult them again and again. In fact, I'm willing to bet you've banned someone for doing this very thing. To turn around and do it yourself is...well. Okay, imagine this. Jennalele is a fire chief outside a burning building, co-ordinating their firemen, generally being a bit busy, but ultimately, being a fire chief, just hangs back and continues to give the orders. Not really in danger, not really spearheading the operation, just laying back and playing it cool, like a chief should. Then Nanako, let's say she's a 10 year old child, runs up to the fire chief, and begs her to save their family's dog in a building that had its door collapsed just beside the burning one. It's very clear that the building the dog was trapped in wasn't in danger of the fire immediately, but then Jennalele, instead of co-ordinating an effort to save the dog which is entirely possible at that moment, sits the girl down for twenty minutes and tells her just why she can't instruct two firemen to clear some menial rubble out of the way. By the time the talk is over, the fire has spread, and the dog is most certainly dead. Moral of the story? Fuck anyone asking for help, rip them.

I'm more-so just waiting on what the final verdict is, here. Also, am I permitted to play HoS Ihintza again? And is there going to be a warning, or are you lot feeling generous? I'm just curious, I want this issue to be over already.

Completely understandable and what I've made known from the start: I'm not hiding anything whatsoever. I'm speaking the truth, and it's what I've been doing since I started this complaint. That being said, I know that I have a temper, as I've stated many times before. I completely get it, if you're going to make assurances for me, you're going to want something in return, and that's for me to stop being sharp as a sword. Am I fair in making this assessment? If I'm not, then whups, sorry e.e Buuuut anyway. The main reason that I was so upset was because I was being silenced by the staff, who I believed and still do, have a problem with me completely based off of their opinion of me. Try to reason with me all that you'd like, I've realized that Sierra wasn't as bad as I thought they were, but I have not been made aware of any indication or evidence that Aimless is in fact, welcoming me with open arms back as Ihintza. Scoff and deliberate as much as you'd like, I've received no evidence thus far, and this is my express opinion that likely isn't going to be changed, unless I'm made aware of something that's been hiding from me, at which point I will formally apologize and of course, attempt to make amends. But yeah, that's that. I know that I can be a volatile person, and to reiterate on my previous point, I was getting so upset in my complaint because people just weren't paying attention to what I was saying, and were cherrypicking from my words. That's probably attributed to the fact that I wrote so much, but I'm an avid writer, as you lot can probably tell. I just can't help myself. I can't make any express promises or guarantees, much like Skull can't promise me that the staff will always be 100% right in every scenario. I've heard it from countless people, "Ove, you're a pretty cool cat" "Ove's a pretty good roleplayer" "Ove's pretty alright" Do you really think I want that sullened by "...Until I saw him raging on the forums." No, I don't want that. I don't get off on being a ball of tar, I hate getting so upset like this. But like I said before, it's a part of me, just like someone with ADHD who can't sit still. Of course I'm going to try my fucking hardest not to get so upset, but in the post where I said that I came back after seeing The Revenant, I was in a pretty good mood. You can see where I started to go sour, and again, it's because of cherrypicking/false accusations. I'm sorry, I really am, to everyone that was subject to my words. I don't want to come across as an asshole every time I put something on the forums, but it's an unfortunate trend that I've been forced into nowadays. I'm really not as bad as I seem when I'm ranting like that, I promise I'm not. But as for Skull? I can't completely quell your fears of me spitballing words like a machinegun if I'm abused in the future by your staff, but it's definitely something that I'm working on, and it's definitely. Something that I don't want to happen again. As you can hopefully tell, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart here when I say that I regret having such an awful temper.

I still believe that everything could have been cleared up and avoided with one simple fax saying that I did a bad and to not do it again as opposed to an official warning, but very well, I'll leave that decision up to the administrative staff as well. I do appreciate you prompting the removal of Ihintza being fired, make no mistake.

But Nnnnnnnngggghhhhh. Is this really that unbelievable to think? It's why I did what I did, because we can't just have this every now and then, it's exactly how security breaches are made and if that assistant was in fact a sleeper agent sent by the Syndicate, guess who'd be fucked. I mean, I'm just saying. Is this part really that inadmissable? And yeah, I realize that it's gotten to the point beyond forgetting everything, hence why I said it would be ideal for it to happen. Yeah, there was a lot of shit-flinging, but if you can look past that, you can see that I'm bringing up legitimate issues. such as the DOs acting like autonomous robots who're devoid of any soul whatsoever, to just name one :/ I'm just saying. The meeting shouldn't have happened at all, and everything in this complaint stemmed from it. Doesn't it make sense to cut it out of the picture? Aimless knows they fucked up, Sierra probably knows they fucked up, and of course, I most of all know that I fucked up. Why should this not be resolved in the manner that you suggested? I really would appreciate it if the meeting was scrubbed. All Sierra needs to do is acknowledge what I'm saying right now, and it's as simple as that. You think that I'm trying to prompt them to do it? Of course I am. It's a setting which shouldn't have existed, should the proper information have been relayed to me, and by now, everyone knows that. Why should my record be stained with something that shouldn't have existed, asdjfnakljsdn

I realize that you find that me quitting in the middle of a meeting was bad, and I know that. But what else was I going to do? I couldn't inform anyone through any means of OOC text, and I'm not going to announce to the entire server that I'm angry as fuck and just want to stop being called a horrible HoS, even if it wasn't directly said, it was very certainly implied. But I was just really upset, and I would have announced that I'm going to calm down if I could have. I had to settle for telling you all IC'ly. Which is why I didn't just wordlessly log off. Why would I write an appeal for a situation that shouldn't have happened in the first place? I'm serious about this, I still don't believe the meeting was required, the only thing that was required was what Skull exactly said. "You shouldn't have arrested the Captain, please let him go and don't do this kind of thing again." Is this unacceptable to think of? :/ I was very respectful in my first faxes and you can probably tell that I was very tentative, albeit in a subtle manner. If I'm going to resort to making an appeal, then I've had done everything here for nothing. Every single word I've written, right down the drain. I'm sorry, but I'm going to stand by what I've said so far. The fact of the matter is, intentional or not, we both fucked up, Sierra. Who's was worst, I'll let everyone else decide, but that's something that we're not getting away from. You know what would be ideal? If we scrap this issue, and act as if nothing happened. I'll rescind my complaint against Aimless, because, again, I shouldn't have even gotten so upset at her, due to the meeting that shouldn't have been. Of course a good number of you are probably going to scoff at that, but whatever. I'm respectfully standing up for what I believe in, and you're free to input your opinions if you'd like.

I want to stop writing so much. I also want Ihintza's job back, and I really want for this to be over. I don't want to continue sparking up like I have been. Yeah, it's a plan.

That's fair, I have a tendency to start writing and writing and writing. When it comes to the "month old incident", it's the only thing that I can actually quote from the top of my head. Like I said before, it's the kind of situation where you can't just quote one specific small issue, or you're going to look like an idiot. You need to look at the behavior over the entire spectrum. I'm sorry, but I have no knowledge whatsoever about what's happening behind the scenes in a staff chat somewhere. Wanting to tag along for a learning experience is more than fair, it isn't something you should be afraid of doing, nor should you be given strife for it. However, did I know all of these things? I was taking everything going on in that meeting against me because I believed Sierra was in fact, metagrudging against me. Are they actually harboring an unknown grudge against me? I would have said yes before, but now, I'm going to go with I don't know. It matters if there's an issue against me and the staff has bias. (Not saying for sure that there is any right now) But it also matters on if I feel like I'm being targeted. Let me ask you something. I was given no direct orders, and before I knew it, I was suspended. The HoP starts acting all high and mighty, as if he were the God of doing things right, and of course that did nothing to quell my distaste. Oh, and by the way, the HoP in question, PumpKingSlice, has an IC relationship with Aimless' character, Reanne Strafford. Reanne and the HoP were sending intimate PDA messages to one another, inviting each other over to their houses and getting drunk, along with the fact that Reanne started pulling the HoP, who said "I guess you're the dominant one in this relationship? Suggesting that the relationship is sexual. Let that sink in. before you take Pumpking's words to heart. Then, he continues to act in such a way when I'm getting my ID changed to "Suspended." Then, I'm made aware that every single person in Command is to attend a meeting, with four Nanotrasen personnel arriving on the station. Then, or even better yet, I'll let everyone here be the judge of this one. Read the meeting logs that Sierra posted towards the beginning. In my state of extreme distaste and what I believed to be a "Singling out" move, I did in fact perceive what mister Rase was saying was directed at me. Yes, of course I did, who wouldn't? I was confused as to why I was suspended, angry, and on top of that, I was muted from being able to say anything out of character, both to the people in the room, and to the administrative staff. But then again, if you still feel like my actions are unreasonable, why do you think that I went through so much effort with all of this. Do you really believe that I go on these huge blocks of texts for fun, to intentionally make everyone upset because I get off on it? I'm doing this because I honestly, truly believe that there are issues regarding what I'm speaking about, and Skull was the only one who even managed to pick up on the gist of what I was saying. It isn't assumption if I truly do believe that I'm being targeted. The evidence was almost literally smacking me across the face. Was this my fault, due to me perceiving them as hating against me specifically, the player behind the screen? Perhaps partly. But I'm still adamant about the fact that this could have been avoided without the need to escalate so damned much. So, upon being made aware of more information, I don't believe Sierra has as much of a grudge against me as I previously claimed. Aimless, however? No, I'm not going to back down from that accusation quite yet. Now that I actually know why the second DO was there, this is entirely acceptable, no question about it. At the risk of showing my very upset attitude in that meeting, I'd appreciate the LOOC and adminhelp logs being posted here so that I may further elaborate on them, because I can't remember specifically what I said. I do believe however, that I was told once in LOOC to stop being salty. Literally right as you sent the second message saying that I would be muted, I pressed enter and only managed to read it right after my own message was posted. Literally no time to rectify it, literally no time to apologize, instantly muted. I spoke about this in ahelps. Again, you told me once that I needed to knock it off. I made another comment on saying how this didn't need to be so taken over the top or something along those lines, and agreed that we should keep it going IC'ly. "You have been muted from adminhelps." That's when I really got upset. Being told that I was a horrible HoS just pushed me over the edge and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to stay any longer. And what do you know. Since I was muted, I couldn't inform anyone that I was going to leave to clear my head. So then the fiasco happens, which I didn't know about and wasn't there to see by the way, where I was fired for disconnecting with no warning, other than telling everyone IC'ly, because that's the only way I could. Why do you think I didn't just wordlessly log off. I told everyone in the meeting in the only way I could that I was leaving. You think that I don't know this? Or are you just trying to justify that you're a staff member and that I'm behaving like a child, and that you can do no wrong? "People like you are supposed to be more mature than the others, you getting upset at legitimate issues and miscommunication is not helping your case, ho ho ho." I've stated multiple times that I know that I have a temper, and that I make mistakes. I literally can't think of any other way to get my point across because nobody is listening to what I'm saying. They're just picking out the parts they know they can't defend against, just like you, Jennalele. You're speaking against the fact that I'm angry. I get that I'm angry, I know that I'm angry. At least I have a legitimate reason for being angry. Appropriate at every single time? No, of course not. But it's so unbearably, unbelievably frustrating to have people continuously ignore certain parts of your writing just to further their own points, while not even acknowledging the existence of what you're trying to prove. I'm going to stop getting upset when everyone starts behaving like human beings with regard to other people's feelings and thoughts. You think instantly muting someone because they're angry to let them sit and broil on their foul mood is going to do anything? If you think the answer to that question is yes, then I'm sorry, but you really, honestly don't belong on the staff team. If the answer is no, and you agree that you shouldn't have did what you did, then of course I'm going to forgive you. I just want you to realize that you can't just do that to someone and expect everything to be okay. I've been on this server for months, now. Have I ever had an issue with anyone of this magnitude? Have I ever caused a massive shit-storm IC'ly by being an awful Head of Security? If I did, then I can't remember, and I'd appreciate someone bringing it to light, so long as it's legitimate. I'm just saying, I'm a person with feelings, and thoughts. This entire situation, in my mindset, was completely stacked against me and it seemed like the entire staff was out gunning for me. Muted by the admins, fired by the DOs for not wordlessly going on with a suspension that they never even told me was about. They only said that I was to be suspended for arresting the captain, but through the multiple times asked by myself, they never told me what I did wrong. At least, before the meeting. I'm just saying. I only want people to start paying attention to what I'm saying, and to stop bringing up the fact that I'm pissed off. I know that I am, and I know it's not helping my case. I'm trying to calm down, but every time the lot of you respond, it's like you're just doing it all over again just to make me angry. I want you to read everything, and not just skim over it and mindlessly accuse me of being angry again. So please, I'm trying to tell you that I'm calming down, I just want to stop being ignored, in favor of people cherrypicking what I'm saying.

Please keep this relevant to the complaint at hand, Jboy. I would appreciate if you didn't answer Hive, in the interest of not getting side-tracked.

Well, I got back from watching The Revenant, and it was a pretty good movie! Pretty brutal, but nevertheless, pretty good! And so, I've come back to spread my merry cheer in one big post regarding everyone who's submitted their opinions thus far. To 1138: I'm sorry for lashing at you like I did, it was a pretty shitty thing to do. I feel that you're a very good roleplayer as well, but I was still hung up on the whole "Jimmy Jones, Vira Taryk" thing. As soon as you learned that I was the one who played Jimmy, in my opinion, you immediately soured against him and in turn, against me. I don't know if this was actually your intention or not, it's just what I perceived, and I'm sorry if I misconstrued it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the staff lineup, with the exception of the behavior of Aimless. Nor am I speaking against the coders, or anyone else. I'm only speaking about the issues that I directly know of and have witnessed. I truly know that this isn't a place where nerds come to get angry at each other. I don't like getting angry and having my day ruined because of what mean people say over the internet, it's not a very fun time. I just can't help it, in the same way that someone with ADHD has difficulty staying still. When everybody's calm, nice talks like this can happen, and I do honestly, humbly apologize from the bottom of my heart. Now, onto Gollee's post. Yes, thank you Gollee, for telling me everything that I already knew and re-stating why I was nervous enough to fax Nanotrasen about this in the first place. Do you think that I don't know what I did regarding the Captain was wrong by now? I may act like an idiot sometimes, and not to honk my own horn here, but I'm one smart cookie. I can recognize and acknowledge when and where I was wrong, and can learn from my mistakes. I don't assume everyone is immediately bad because of what I see on the outside. That's probably one of the shittiest qualities people can have, it's called judging by the cover. At no point did I immediately go "Holy shit, the Captain's corrupt 'cause he promoted someone! No way, c'mere now!" upon learning that the assistant got an additional headset and access. No, I calmly asked them to come over so I could speak to them further about it, and get to the bottom of everything. Was this wrong? No, I was just curious. I don't believe I ever explicitly gave an order to him commanding him to come down to the Brig. I simply asked him. However, "assume competence" is a laughable statement, considering that this is Space Station 13. No one assumes that anyone's competent at first sight in this fuckin' game, let's be real. Nor is it something that Ihintza does. Are you suggesting that you know everything that's happened to her in her life, and that she immediately trusts everyone she meets and has no reason to be worried about them or their productivity? Eh, that's just not right. It's not her behavior, and neither is it mine. It's unwise to make assumptions, that much you should know by now if you're over the age of eighteen. I treat everyone exactly the same. No more, no less, just the same, until they give me reason to change that opinion about them. A Captain who's informed me that he didn't have any paperwork or reasoning for promoting an assistant out of the blue without telling anyone? Well, that gives Ihintza a little bit of cause for alarm. Again, I'm calmly expressing the fact that I know that I did wrong by sticking my neck out and arresting the Captain like I did. At the time I believed that it was the right thing to do. It actually was. I was just in the wrong position and did it. Thanks again, pumpkin. Becauuuuuuse...I don't knooooow, he failed to give me a reason why he did what he did, and couldn't confirm the existence of the form in question? I keep on saying this, yet no one seems to grasp it :/ Okay, I'm going to pull what Skull said right out from under you and put it here. THIS exactly RIGHT HERE. RIIIIGHT HERE. This is literally ALL THAT HAD TO HAVE BEEN DONE AND I WOULD HAVE COMPLIED. Like holy shit, what is so difficult about understanding this??? This is what I've been saying the entire time. How was I supposed to know that it was ??? Honestly, who would have taken that as a direct order? I didn't get any orders, I only got "Send us more information." and that's it. I was literally stunned when I read that Ihintza was to be suspended for arresting the Captain. I stared at my screen for about ten full seconds before I even came to. There was no direct order here, and if you're going to preach against me this: then holy shit, I'm just going to get upset all over again and lose the good mood I've been having since I got back. At no point did I ignore any of the faxes, and trust me, I completely read over each of them, twice. Anyone, anyone at all, please read them over and you tell me if you thought that THAT was a direct order the first time around. Was there any direct order stating to let the Captain go? Even at all? Was there even a hint that he should be let go? "We do not see why it was felt necessary to brig the captain for any amount of time for this situation, unless there were additional concerns or actions violating regulations which we have not yet been informed of; Please provide any additional information if it is available." That's what it said, word for word. Nanotrasen, or more specifically Sierra, told me that they didn't see what the problem was, and asked for more information, which I gave. By the time the second fax from the lot of you came through, the damn Captain was already out, he was just standing in his cell. Aeghhrguheirhgieuhriguh I'm already approaching that point again just because of this. Whatever, let's get on with the rest of it. One question. How. I don't know how many times I have to say this. I was muted. From LOOC. And adminhelps. Muted from LOOC and adminhelps. Muted. LOOC. Adminhelps. I really do hope that everyone gets the picture on why I didn't speak in LOOC or inform the admins why I left, because hey, I wonder why :/ Incorrect and you know it. There were no direct orders, please stop preaching that it was one. Albeit in a misinformed way, I recognize and acknowledge that I overstepped my bounds as the Head of Security, and I humbly apologize for doing so. It's not my place to worry about potential thieves or anyone who'd like to take advantage of this position, oh, no. :^) Nah, but in all seriousness, Ihintza was suspicious that the Captain would just do this out of the blue without telling anyone, and she was concerned that since the assistant was so young and had no records whatsoever, on top of being granted access to the Bridge, given a headset that can listen in on Security, and basic access to all departments barring Security, that she could have literally just been some trash that was picked up from some backwater colony and applied for a job in Nanotrasen with the hopes of causing mischief. Like, is this really so unreasonable? We have Assistants with no records whatsoever, constantly breaking into places on the station all the damned time. Are they antags, most of the time? No, they're not. Why is it so hard to believe that she was acting in tandem with her loyalty implant regarding this? Yes, arresting the Captain without faxing Nanotrasen first was wrong, but god damn, why has no one even thought of this yet? This is a completely realistic and believable reason to check out both the Captain and the assistant. For all Ihintza knows, this could have been an elaborate plot by the Syndicate, and the assistant could have been a sleeper agent. You never fucking know, and there are reasons that Ihintza both has scars to prove her experience, and why she takes her job so seriously. I find it so god damn frustrating that this is so difficult to believe, and that people are still giving me shit for this. Honestly, you have no idea how frustrating it is. Call it what you want. I thought of it more as a break, but whatever. The only time I deviated from procedure was not faxing Nanotrasen first. I get it, I did bad by that. I'm still not so sure that I was stepping way out of my lane by reminding the Captain the hard way why it's bad to forget paperwork regarding an issue like this. You of all people should know just how much havoc one could wreak with the access the assistant was provided, along with that headset. In what mindset, honestly, in what mindset would someone like Ihintza willingly ignore an issue like this. The only reason she wouldn't follow up on this is if she were passed-out drunk or high off her rocks. Neither of which, will ever happen by the way. Why is it so hard to understand that she takes her job seriously and doesn't want to have another assistant rampage/looting spree going on. The-- THE OTHER ME IS...TAKING OVEEEEEEEEEER! Then thank you for making your opinion known. You'll find that I heavily disagree with your heavy disagree. Ultimately, the only thing I'm going to respond with is...well, let's agree to disagree. Oh, and it isn't my intent to play the victim. If that were the case, I'd be a very poor "sad case" indeed, getting as riled up as I normally do. My intent is to clear everything up, and stop the DO corps from acting like mindless, autonomous freaks and learn that it's not always the interrogate-ees who are the ones doing things wrong. In the glorious, very correct words of Skull, Literally. All. That had. To be done. But no, Sierra chose to continue rising and rising up to that point of no return. Why are you turning a blind eye to this, Gollee? Why is everyone with the exception of Skull not mentioning this? Lol, I almost can't believe this willful blindness. It's like you're all brainwashed into knowing for a fact that DOs can't, and never will mess up. If this is the rude awakening that 1138 was speaking about, then damn, I think it's the people here who need to open their eyes, not me. Happy trails to you buddy, but this wasn't what I was told in the first fax. At least, not in a manner that any intelligent, sane person could understand. Ohmygodit'sstartingagainI'mtellingyourightnowthevoicesaregettinglouderwhat the FUCK is wrong with you, Gollee. Hhhnnnnnnn. Actually, here's the beautiful, beautiful thing that I've learned about this server. On here, we don't have laws for loyalty implants. The common code of conduct has, and currently is to my knowledge, that as long as your character is acting in a way that they truly believe befits the company of Nanotrasen as a whole, then chances are, you're doing it right. After all, just ask Chaznoodles, the HoS who believed that taking their energy weapon out and point-blanking a restrained serial killer to death would be okay, because due to their character, they honestly believed that the suspect would escape again, so that was the best course of action for the company as a whole. That being said. Are you really going to lecture me on what I shouldn't have done involving a non-loyalty implanted 19-year old assistant with basic access to almost every single department along with a headset that can listen in on literally any frequency at all with no records detailing where they're from, what experience they have, or what their history is? I'm literally offended that you'd think that Ihintza Livingstone, Security's all-time famous, fair but bad/hardass dark-skinned amazonian Head of Security (all of these are self-entitled, don't take this literally for fuck's sake) would ignore this very serious issue. On top of that, she was promoted with no records of it happening whatsoever. This has the potential to be a major security risk. I legitimately find it fucking insane that people think that doing this kind of thing is just okay straight out of the blue. Head of Securities are onboard to follow up on every possible lead regarding danger. Did Ihintza believe that the assistant I've oh so previously mentioned could have been a threat? Abso-fucking-lutely. Is she going to follow up on what she believes what could be a threat? WHAT DO YOU THINK. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO GRASP, HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SCREAM IT. Good for you Gollee, I hope you enjoyed attempting to act like a hardass who's out to prove that I did everything wrong and the glorious opinion of the DOs are always right no matter what. I don't care how many people are brainwashed into thinking the DOs are supervillian robots who have no emotions or human thought whatsoever and that we should fear their very presence. If you're going to be unclear and even have your staff making mistakes, as they've admitted IC'ly, then they're not some god damn unstoppable, un-assailable force that everyone's making them out to be. SierraKomodo fucked up. They were unsure/unclear of what needed to be said, and so, not wanting to seem wrong or rather, wanting to maintain the image that DOs are not to be fucked with under any circumstances whatsoever even if they weren't in the right, they decided to make this a much bigger deal than what it had to be. That's literally it. I get upset because people fuck up and start doing stupid shit. Never did I once claim that I was perfect, and that I don't make mistakes. But I at least can fucking realize when I have made one, and I'm not going to write up an essay against someone on why one of their unstoppable team's members "orders" were unclear and caused a convoluted situation, where I'm the one who's getting shit. I hope everyone's thoroughly enjoyed reading all of this. You probably saw the slow descent into madness as you read downwards, eh. Yeah, well. Shit happens. Just know that for everyone I'm getting upset at here, I'm not going to harbor hard feelings. I don't hold grudges, when this is over, I'm either going to be gone or playing Ihintza in the role that she was meant to be in again, and I'm going to think of everyone here the same as I did before. As people, with feelings and emotions and thoughts. I don't give a fuck if everyone thinks that I'm an unlikeable asshole, but I do care if I'm known for being someone who fucks up and doesn't know how to be a good HoS. Call that stupid logic, but that's just how I feel. Of course I want to be liked, I want to have friends on here, and I don't want to write all of this and make both myself and more people upset, but what the fuck else can I do. I'm seeing a very serious, blatant issue here and nobody's choosing to talk about it. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuggghghhhhhhhhh, please, please start paying attention to what I'm saying now, so I don't have to repeat myself fifty fucking times again.

I'm going to be watching The Revenant soon, so I won't be able to respond for a few hours. I'm sorry for starting to lose my cool again, I really am. This is just really upsetting and frustrating to deal with. No one's paying attention to the full story, and it's infuriating. I have a side as well. I am a human being as well. Do I make mistakes? Yes, yes I do. Do I regret them? Of course I do, but I learn from them. At least that way they're helpful. I evidently made a mistake and didn't fax Nanotrasen first before arresting the Captain. That was a mistake, and I recognize that. But continuously stacking the stakes higher and higher until it got to this point? I only asked if I made a mistake, in my first fax, and if I did the right thing by arresting him. I wasn't told that I did anything wrong. I wasn't told that I should let him go, I wasn't told anything of the sort, just "Tell us more." I'm sorry if I've pushed anyone's buttons, I really am. I just want people to listen and recognize that I have a side of the story too, and you can't make judgements and accusations against me like we're all some sort of fucking machine. We're human beings, and we have feelings. Sometimes, those get in the way of thoughts. Me logging out in the DO meeting was one of those times. But should the meeting have even been a thing in the first place? It's still my opinion that the DOs could have handled this much better, and a simple slap on the wrist, saying "No Ihintza, you shouldn't have arrested him without our permission first. Please let him go and don't let this happen again." Instead of a wall of text detailing that I've been suddenly suspended, yes, let everyone know that, because fuck privacy and fuck Ove. I'll be able to post again in a few hours. Until then, I'm going to try to salvage this shitty day.

Tishina, please. I expressively stated that I was muted from LOOC and adminhelps. I literally had no way to do so. I do believe that they were. You may have not been online at the several times where they've subtly bantered against me, and yes, I am a naturally suspicious person, and I do realize that this may not come across as the most convincing story I've ever told, but I, in my heart, do believe that this was treated with bias. It's the situation where someone's been doing so many little things for so long, you can't specifically quote one of them, or else people are going to laugh at you. You have to look at the behavior over the extended time period. I'm sorry for writing such a long post right after yours Tish, I didn't see it, and I'm starting to get upset all over again. I know that I have a temper, and it easily shows. But I'm still telling you that I did, and still do, believe that there are a certain few individuals that very much know who they are who very much dislike my company and are attempting their hardest, and stealthiest may I add, incursion against me to stop playing Ihintza. In regards to the complaints though, I've never seen them, and I'm sorry if I sound so non-committal about this, but if they were legitimate, I probably would have addressed them, or even been contacted by one of you.

It figures that you (1138) decided to take part in this, too. You don't even attempt to misconstrue the fact that you have outright hate against me. And before you go "Well, Ove's just pullin' the victim card now, everyone hates'em." Remember that one time where Ihintza was suddenly reminded to re-install the power cell in Departures? Well, you had no quarter for holding back on that one. Absolutely off the handle, no way a Head of Security should know how to change a power cell. It isn't as easy as prying it open and replacing it, no sir! Lol. I'll stop you right there. As a matter of fact, no, that's incorrect. At least, mostly. You're right about the fact that they had no idea what the hell was going on, due to them not even being able to read faxes properly. However, everything else, they were in perfect contentment with. As was stated by myself multiple times now, have they had read the faxes in an appropriate, actual professional manner, we wouldn't be having this entire fiasco, now would we? Again, no. You're hopelessly bantering against me, either due to your own distaste against me, or failing to even recognize that I'm a human being as well, with their own side to the story. I knew that I was "in trouble", but at no time did I "pussy out" and leave because of it. But then again, I'd hardly define this as being in trouble when the DOs are half-way incompetent. But hey, they could not be. They really could just be doing all of this because that's the proper procedure, and that's how every case is ha--...oh wait, no it isn't. When's the last time you saw a wall of text being sent to the station, along with four Nanotrasen representatives calling a meeting of all heads of staff? Yeah, I can't remember either. Well, you must think of me as a mighty fine idiot if you don't know that I know communication is key, and obviously you aren't too bright yourself if you think that I'm stupid enough not to know that. I preach that communication is key. I say it to my Security team all the time. Report if you're making an arrest. Report if you're entering and leaving maintenance tunnels. Do not enter a situation you don't know if you can handle and not tell anyone. Always report when you're bringing someone in. Yeah, I know that communication is key. That isn't the issue. You must be as inept as the DOs to assume that I didn't communicate properly with them. Have you read the faxes sent? I explained everything in a very detailed, simplified manner. Yet of course, they raised the issue higher and higher and higher, until it got to the point where they just decided "Yeah, let's make this a big thing." Nice try, though. Your distaste against me is duly noted, and oh-so-appreciated. You don't like me, I don't like you, I get it. You obviously have not dealt with what I have against Sierra, and it's to the point where them speaking in such a manner was entirely directed at me. Why else would Sierra say that? A milkman accidentally breaks a few bottles of milk in his van in his deliveries. He's upset at this, but decides to continue working anyway. He's a bit late in his deliveries because of this. As he's walking down a driveway back to his truck after delivering a box of milk, there are two women standing outside his truck. "Boy, these milkmen nowadays are really slow..." The other woman agrees. "Yeah, they're getting worse and worse...guess we should bring this up with the Mayor." The milkman, hearing this, walks up to them, and the two women immediately jolt. "O-oh no, we weren't talking about you specifically! Heavens, no! We're talking about the other milkmen! Honest!" Yeah, real fuckin' coincidental. This is exactly the part that I was talking about when I said that I was nervous and wasn't 100% sure if I should have done what I did in my original essay-long post. I faxed Nanotrasen to ask. If I had done wrong, and I very much wanted their opinion. They didn't say that I did wrong, nor did they tell me to let him go. And fair enough, I didn't fax Central Command before I arrested him. I've never had to arrest a Captain in such an inane way before on my previous servers. Hence, why I was so god damned nervous that I faxed Nanotrasen to ask if I had done anything wrong. Fuck, it's like no one pays attention. Either that, or they're just acting like god damn robots and don't think of me as a human being at all who can make mistakes. Yeah, your post has only confirmed my thoughts on just how much certain people really don't like me. I'll apologize for getting so upset and going SSD, and I'll apologize for not faxing Nanotrasen before arresting the Captain. But I'm not going to go into an appeal forum begging for a DO to give Ihintza her job back just yet. And if nothing comes of this complaint, and I've gained no ground whatsoever against corrupt, inept DOs? I'll probably just leave. Similar to a familiar four-numbered SS13 player, who...didn't, all those times they said they would?

As the logs can attest to, I fell asleep as soon as I was buckled back into the chair. I was not in fact, aware of the final statement made by mister Rase, as I had logged off previously. That's like saying "You were sick and had to stay home from work today? Well I gave a surprise meeting at work today, you're fired!" Yeah, okay. Absolutely nothing to hide via the faxes, nor the logs of the meeting. As you can tell, I was upset at this whole fiasco. Backtalk? Because I was being accused of being a horrible HoS and a very, very poor example of a HoS. Rase has never seen her in action before. Rase has never dealt with an IR against her. Rase hasn't even met with her before. This is literally straight-up meta-hate or metagaming if you're going to accuse her of being a horrible HoS and a very, very poor example of Security based on one incident that you oversee, which I still remain adamant that I did the right thing. So yes, I left. I'm not going to just sit here and be told that I'm shit for asking if I did anything wrong, and if you're going to fire me for leaving because I'm upset, even though I had no knowledge of you firing me for doing so, then I'm going to file a complaint against you for very. Obvious. Reasons. You say that the administrators were informed of this? Would you mind giving me a list of the administrators in question? I know for a fact Aimless will be on that list, why am I not surprised that she of all people approved it. Yet another meta-grudger against me.

BYOND Key: Ove Staff BYOND Key: SierraKomodo, AimlessAnalyst Reason for complaint: I was planning on drafting this after Wednesday due to my exams happening this week, but with the silence of Sierra and the amount of time that's already been wasted, I didn't think it'd be smart to put it off for another day. So, here I am. And please, if anything sounds offensive, edgy, salty, or anything of the like, it's purely coincidental and my intent is not to offend, or otherwise come across as immature. That being said, let's get to the nitty gritty. So, the Captain (Zander Moon) promoted a female Assistant who's 19, to "Captain's Assistant", complete with the job title, his own spare headset, and additional access. I frowned at this, considering that I've been around so many Captains who do this just because they want to for no reason other than "Just because." So, I ask him this over the Command channel, and he confirms that he did indeed promote an assistant to her current position. Very well, I call him over to the Brig to speak to him about it. Once again, I confirm if whether or not he actually did it, and lo and behold, the assistant in question is with him. Ihintza and the assistant stare one another down as she questions the Captain, and after a short delay, Ihintza asks to see the paperwork involved in the promotion, just to make sure that everything was in order. After all, she's loyalty implanted, and she can't have a Captain who's illegally promoting people. She's been around long enough to know the fine line between right and wrong, and promoting someone to your assistant just because with no record of it whatsoever is in fact, wrong. So, I ask for the paperwork. He doesn't have it on him. Well, that's acceptable, it's natural not to keep such documents on your person at all times. I ask him where it is. He doesn't know. Wait, what? I ask him that we need to go get it, and he suggests that we search his workplace for it. Very well, that's acceptable as well. I keep asking him to lead the way, yet he never budges. I prompt him over and over again. Twenty minutes pass, since he stepped into the Brig. He still hasn't led me to believe that this document exists at all. Ihintza also had to step out due to an issue in the Bar, and once she came back, the Captain was still there, no documents. Then, she ended up just prompting him to follow her instead. They both go on, up to the Bridge, and then to the Captain's office. He then searches his filing cabinets, nothing's there. He searches the HoP's cabinets. Nothing's there. He ends up admitting that he doesn't have it, and there you go. It isn't my fault that the Captain couldn't provide proper paperwork for his now-illegal promotion, and so as the HoP was dozing off at his desk, being AFK of course, I prompted, not ordered, the Captain to ask the assistant to come back to hand in her ID and Captain's headset, due to her being put back to assistant. Through no fault of this was hers, and even though she was disrespectful and snippy towards me, I didn't believe that she deserved punishment, and she was let go scott-free, as she should have been. So the Captain willingly comes with us to the Brig, and he's put in a cell for Exceeding Official Powers. I did not force him to serve the full time. He was put in for ten minutes, as opposed to the fifteen and a demotion. See, this is where I got a bit nervous, because I wasn't absolutely 100% confident in this. So, literally right after punching the time in, I went to my office and faxed Nanotrasen, informing them right off the bat that the Captain was arrested for Exceeding Official Powers, that he was in a cell serving time, and I asked them if I did in fact, make a mistake by doing this, a mistake that I would happily accept and learn from it. There were a few more faxes exchanged, before the Command staff were asked to submit their own reports. That is, the entire station was subject to this message. As in, this was starting to get a bit bigger than it needed to be. Nevertheless, since I didn't even receive confirmation on whether or not Ihintza did a bad, after an hour and forty minutes into the shift, she went on break in the Bar and simply sat down at a table, drinking a glass of water, as is her norm when she's relaxing. Oliver Roadman, the Chief Engineer, joined her, and they had a pleasant conversation for a few minutes. Then, it happened. A wall of text in fax form announced to the entire crew. "The Captain and HoS are to be suspended. Their loyalty implants are going to be checked. We're coming aboard to deal with this 'Unwarranted arrest, and poor display of behaviour'" and other inane blabber. Lol, the fuck? I was very surprised and discontent at this remark, seeing as how I drafted an arrest warrant against the Captain before asking him to come with me. If the Duty Officer in question, SierraKomodo, actually paid attention, then perhaps this situation could have been dealt with a bit easier. Nevertheless, I agreed and handed in my ID to be changed. The HoP, played by PumpkingSlice, was, I dare say, extremely rude and confrontational. I will admit that I was also upset, but damn. Spouting line after line of robotic-sounding nonsense against me in an extremely passive-aggressive attitude doesn't serve to make anyone's mood better. So yes, blah blah blah, every single Command staff member is forced to attend the meeting in the Meeting Room with the four snowflake DOs and their super-secret-special Staffmember bodyguards. Yeah, I get it, y'all like to make a scene by being silent and tough, good for you. And leading the charge, is Jonathan Rase (I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly, my apologies.) played by SierraKomodo. Who, may I add, in my opinion, been extremely passive-aggressive towards me both IC and in LOOC. I remember when he was under my command once playing a young Tajaran female who wore bright blue pants, a red hat turned backwards, and her jumpsuit rolled down. Well, there was no shortage of arguments between us both IC and LOOC as previously mentioned, and I was starting to get a bit suspicious that they didn't enjoy my company. Like, at all. Pssh, whatever, as if I care if people don't like me, of course that's going to surface, given my character. So anyway, the meeting was getting increasingly heated, and Sierra is all over the place. "The arrest you made was illegal, unwarranted, and you never informed Command of it AT ALL!"...Unless, I did? Another Command member spoke up and confirmed that I did in fact, tell everyone that I've arrested the Captain on the grounds of Exceeding Official Powers, and that he was serving time, not being demoted. This was also mentioned in their fax, contrary to Mr. Rase's statements. He then humbly apologizes and brushes it off. Honest mistake, right? Guess you're Human, too-- Oh, wait. He then goes on to say that Security has been getting barrages of complaints over the past few years, and that he's just been working so hard to rectify that. I'm not going to deny that, of course being a DO is a big job. However, he then goes on to say that "Perhaps I've just been focusing on the wrong area. It shames me to see that we currently have a very, /very/ bad example of a Head of Security with is right now." Or something of the like, and that's when I just decided, "Y'know what? This guy really is out to ruin my day. I'm not going to stay, because I'm only going to get more upset." And so, I bid them adieu and informed everyone that I was tired, and I logged off. Bit of a shitty move in the middle of the meeting I know, but I was fuming, and being called a shit HoS who's a very, very poor example of Security. Lol. In what regard? Ensuring that I have order on the station? Not wanting corrupt heads of staff promoting whoever they feel like it and giving them access with no record of it whatsoever? Actually taking a bit of time off to confirm the fact that I'm not just a mindless NT drone, and that Ihintza actually has some personality and thoughts of her own? Please, please explain to me how I'm a "Horrible example of Security and a bad HoS." I'm actually daring people to come forth and give me proof that Ihintza is a bad Head of Security. I'm pretty much daring everyone. This is a gross misuse of authority, and I dare say, meta-hating. Not only could this have been solved with "Yes miss Livingstone, you did a bad by arresting the Captain. Bad girl, don't do it again." in response to my first fax, asking if I did anything wrong by arresting the Captain for Exceeding Official Powers. Which for the record, I still believe was correct given how it isn't in the Captain's authority to just promote someone in a non-emergency, give them a headset that can listen in to every single channel on the station, along with additional access to every Department barring the Brig, all without telling anyone of it happening, (I had to call him out on it) having no record of it whatsoever, and not giving her at least a loyalty implant. Even an announcement to everyone could have been done. If I am wrong in this regard though, and I would very much appreciate a third party instead of PumpKingSlice, Aimless, or SierraKomodo answering me, that I did do wrong by arresting the Captain for ten minutes with the use of a warrant, informing the Command staff, and not stripping him of anything whatsoever, then I will happily accept that I made a mistake in that regard. I've created this complaint against SierraKomodo because I believe they are in fact, meta-hating against me and have had an inexplicable grudge or displeasant nature against me for a while, now. Why else would they go through all of this trouble instead of just sending one fax back saying that I was wrong, and to release the Captain from his ten-minute coffee break in a cell. Why else would they announce that I'm being suspended to everyone on the station because I'm a bad Head of Security. Why else have they, and still are, behaving in a passive-aggressive and utterly "NO, I AM THE BOSS AND YOU ARE WRONG, DO NOT SPEAK OUT OF TURN AGAINST ME." I'll even back that statement up with some logs, if you'd like. I believe that since the update where DOs can answer faxes on their own without the intervention of a Staff member, Sierra wanted to knock out two birds with one stone. Demonstrate that the DOs are complete and utter corrupt, lawless asses, and make an example out of Ihintza just because! Woo, don't you love being a DO?! Yeah, whatever. Horrible, blatant misuse of authority, metagrudging, and utter laziness. I say lazy because with a shred of effort, they could have read the faxes completely and established that I did inform Command of everything. But nah, couldn't have a DO admitting that they missed something, or that they're wrong, eh? It would ruin their inhuman, robot-like reputation and they wouldn't be feared anymore. It's not like they were actual people at one time, nope, they're soulless, mindless machines driven by Nanotrasen. The reason I included AimlessAnalyst in this complaint is also a case of metagrudging and extreme passive-aggressive behavior towards me. During the meeting, which I was very upset at due to the ineptitude that I was forced to endure, I made a somewhat-edgy remark in LOOC. I was just about to type something else and then Aimless told me that if I don't cut it out, I'll be muted. Literally the instant right before that was sent, my finger pressed enter and the message was forced through, and what do you know, I was muted. I then commented on this in an adminhelp towards Aimless, and yet again, they immediately became emotional and told me to "knock it off" again. I can't particularly remember what I said, but it very clearly was not an insult, more just expressing my extreme distaste towards this situation, and I agreed that we should handle this IC'ly. I was then muted from Ahelps as well. This is not the way you deal with someone who's upset at this game. It's literally the most childish thing you can do. Sit in the corner, you're in time out. You can't speak to anyone anymore, you're forced to let everyone talk about everything in LOOC, fuck your questions, you can't ahelp either. Yeah, real mature. By the way Aimless, remember when you were a HoS and brigged that one person, and charged him with a whole slew of crimes that were supposed to stack together? Remember when I commented on that that isn't the way you do it? Assault and Assault on a Head of Staff are not to be put together. You choose Assault on a Head of Staff because it's the more serious crime. It doesn't matter if he committed Assault previously and got away with it, he still committed the second act and you do not charge them all together. But whatever, the statement you made in LOOC told me everything. "Ove darling, I know what I'm doing." Heh, evidently so. I suspect you didn't speak to Skull about this, like I suggested. Why is the "Retired Admin" rank even a thing? Clearly they're not Staff anymore, why are they given admin permissions. Aimless, or more commonly known as Jennalele, or whatever their name is, has apparently been away from SS13 for a very long time, yet they were immediately given a position back on the team despite their exodus. She's a highly emotional, unprofessional staff member by the looks of it, and I'd appreciate her position being reviewed once more. She even had an Incident Report filed against her for being an abusive officer. If you don't believe me, check out the incident report filed against Reanne Strafford and give it a read for yourself. The DOs are going to take the case, then they're going to meet with her, and give her a warning not to do this kinda thing again. And remember, there's proof and witnesses to this infraction. What do I get? Immediate suspension, less than a twenty minute decision, nope, she's guilty. What's that? We're ignoring evidence and clear claims that Ihintza may not be guilty? Well, we can't have that, now can we. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: I'd like the staff to take a serious look at the DO Corps. No, really. They can decide to suspend me with no incident reports filed against me whatsoever, in the span of one round because I arrested the Captain on what I still believe was a legitimate charge against him? Also attributed to their own ineptitude that they couldn't even read everything? This even further proves the point that Sierra has a grudge against me, they were seeing what they wanted to see in the faxes and decided to get a big admin party together, and decided to ignore the fact that Command was made aware of the arrest, because "muh new update, wnat 2 b bigshot, hate the way Ihintza carries herself like she actually knows what she's doing, gettur party togeder, we're going to the stayshun". Lol.

Ihintza Livingstone's theme:

Why would Nanotrasen hire two brothers who act like stereotypical 1950's mobsters? Why has their rigorous screening process not picked up on this? Why are these two permitted to act in such a way that only encourages violence in their "Roleplay?" Why would someone "need protection" on a trillion-dollar Research station where every single person there has had to get through (in some cases) years of training, to be a Scientist, for example? Overall, I think this "Italian mobster brothers" thing is absolutely ridiculous and does not belong on this server, if your intentions are to assault people who don't agree with your extortion attempts. You flat-out admitted that your intention is to hurt people who don't accept what you're offering. The literal moment you step back onto Centcomm's doorstep, the two of you would be arrested in the blink of an eye and your employment contract would be terminated, and your characters would never get a job again. This is legitimately ridiculous, and how anyone could defend the two of you with this kind of behavior is beyond me. Beyond that, good luck with this.

Sooo, it's been quite a while since I've posted this, and there's been no negative feedback/any reason for defending myself, etc. Could I please get this looked at by a Staff member, seeing as how none of them have responded yet?

Since the Staff have elected to ignore my two complaints for the past week, one of them regarding PootisManiac, I'll respond on this complaint as well. Based on the evidence provided via screenshots, the player of Rin obviously has not learned their lesson. "The gear of the fallen", "No fun allowed", "I killed the previous owner" Clearly, as the majority of you can see, this player has not learned any lesson whatsoever, and will not uproot themselves from the hole they've dug. And that hole, is chucklefuckery. That's certainly a broad topic, but I'm sure that many, if not all, will agree that that word is what comes to mind when you see Rin Fukuimoto. While you certainly don't need to be exceptionally literate, have amazing grammar skills, and a vocabulary to rival that of a God, you should at least make an effort to push yourself and seek proper, if at least basic, grammar skills. Rin's speech is that of a baldie assistant who just logged into SS13 his first time, and asks "where r people" Not literally, as I'm speaking in a generalization sense, but I'm sure the lot of you understand where I'm coming from. Is this a problem, and am I saying "Pootis, you better get sum booklearnin'!"? No. What I'm saying is that we've apparently given this player several chances. There've been multiple complaints against them stretching over a wide period of time, and another one pops up no less than three days after they were un-banned. As PootisManiac has shown us, rehabilitation has failed, and as long as they're still playing Rin and wordlessly killing antagonists by beating them in the crotch until they die, this environment will not be classified as "Heavy Roleplay." Also, as a side note. I'm not sure if you just wanted to further your complaint and attempt to make additional points against PootisManiac, but Security Officers and such are not "Mall cops". They're legitimate, trained personnel that are authorized for use of deadly force should a dangerous incident occur aboard the NSS Aurora, and the rather ridiculous mentality of "They don't have authority, they're nothing, they're just mall cops" is misguided and completely untrue. As a proud Head of Security player, are there some apples in Security that spoil the bunch? Yeah. But don't let the few idiots ruin the mentality of Security for the rest of us. Our characters don't want to be treated like crooked, shitty cops in-game all the time, because they aren't. It's everyone's mentality that all cops are shit that ruins it for us, and forces us to get upset, unintentionally, and act a bit recklessly/foolishly. Y'all just need to remember that a world without cops is not a world you want to live in, and while that may not be the case in SS13 where anybody can just a burst of heroism and single-handedly take on a five-man nuclear operative team heedless of the sheer idiocy in doing so would be, all I'm asking is that you at least show some respect to the players who actually make an effort to be goodcurity. End rant.

I'm hoping that this will show that Ihintza actually isn't like other Security Commanders on the station. That being, while every HoS has to work very hard for their position, Ihintza's induction into the role of Nanotrasen was of her own free will and on her father's permission, but only after she had achieved the role of Major in her father's company, Ocitox Intergalactic, a para-military/private security firm which Ihintza was hired in from her early years. Despite thinking herself flawless in every possible aspect, her very first mission was a complete and utter failure. The objective was to extract a mining ship's crew back to Ocitox. Unfortunately, almost as soon as they entered the area of operations, they came under heavy fire and lost a good deal of their ship. There was no time to waste; Yet Ihintza couldn't move. She was so tied up in how great her and her team was, that she legitimately couldn't believe they were over before the fight even began. Through her ultimate inaction, her entire crew died, her friends included, and it changed her forever. However, eleven years later of hard, horrible work aside, rising through promotion after promotion, having a few more failures along the way, Ihintza finally made it to the rank of Major. When this happened, her father, either noticing her eye for trench coats or simply just giving it to her because he thought it would be a good present, presented her with a black trenchcoat, outfitted with Ocitox's colors, a fur collar, and her own name on the breast. Having received nothing from her father, ever, she took this to heart and for the first time in a long time, a tear was shed from her eye. She only thought her father ultimately uses her, and that he doesn't care. With the coat she had just been given, perhaps that wasn't true. This coat represents every failure, success, hardships, and highlights of Ihintza's life serving with Ocitox. She wears it in public, on-duty, you name it. With seeing this HoS having different, customized attire, I'm hoping at least a few people are willing to ask her about it, despite Ihintza's "harsh" or "stern" nature. Every time she's asked about that coat, even Ihintza, will crack a bit and show her more "human" side. It's the best, and one of the only, gifts Ihintza has ever received, from the person she respects above everyone else.

Ove bunches her mouth to the side and shrugs, opening her mouth to speak. "Well, I thi--" Only to be cut off by a stiff-brow'd Ihintza almost nonchalantly. "I trust that question was directed at me, Ove." Ove then looks down and sighs faintly, not saying another word. Ihintza folds her hands together on her lap, one leg crossed over the other, as she looks into the camera. Her expression is that of a stern, neutral messenger. "I can't say for sure what Nanotrasen's motives are other than money. My employment contract prevents me from openly disclosing any operations they have going on, but ultimately, I do not view them, or anything, as 'Evil'. They're a business created for one purpose: To make money. In that industry, unfortunately, difficulties arise when that goal is put on the line, and that's where these sorts of questions come into play. I do not agree with everything Nanotrasen does; Their employees are almost robotic as I have personally never seen any spark of humanity left in their eyes the numerous times I've been forced to interact with them, they speak as if everything was a waste of time, and they ultimately don't care about your lives, unless you're planning to settle a lawsuit against them. Past that?... You could say it's a typical mega-corporation." Staring wide-eyed over at Ihintza, Ove gasps softly. "Woooow...that's the most I've ever heard you speak in less than a minute, Sis! And it almost looked like you were happy when you were ranting on about Nano--" She's then cut off by a stern glare, to which Ove immediately whips her head away, towards the screen, and flashes a nervous smile, "Eheh...hope that...answers your question!"

Bump! It's been a full week, and I'm a bit worried that this has been lost with all the Vaurca apps out.

Reporting Personnel: Jimmy Jones Rank of Reporting Personnel: Assistant Personnel Involved: Vira Taryk, Pyotr Salkov, Walter Brooks, Jim Calhoun Time of Incident: 1:40 - 2:00 (This shift that just transpired) 1:20 - 2:00 (Last night's shift) Real time: 1:00 - 1:20PM GMT 12/29, 12:30 - 2:30AM 12/29 Location of Incident: Holodeck, Brig Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property [x]Neglect of Duty [x]Harassment [x]Assault [x]Misconduct []Other _____ Overview of the Incident: I, Jimmy Jones, was boxing people in the Holodeck and I was winning every single fight. However, last night, Salkov stole two toolboxes from me and threatened me and gave me an "order" saying "No more toolboxes." He purposefully went out of his way to take every single toolbox, both in my hands and available in Tool Storage and the Locker Room, behind airlocks where I didn't have access to, just because. The same shift last night, I had managed to get my hand on one, because again, he cannot issue orders like that, and I walked back to the Holodeck and mister Salkov was standing there. Without a word or even hesitation, he withdraws his taser and begins shooting at me. I duck and weave, wrestle the taser from him, and empty the entire thing into him, though there were only three shots left. I then dropped the taser on top of his body, and said "Stop, I defended myself." Only to be wordlessly peppersprayed by Salkov once he woke up, brought to the Brig, and given a fifty minute sentence for defending myself, the Warden (Jim Calhoun), issued me said time, and included "Grand Theft" and "Assault" in my crimes, despite me saying again, I was defending myself from a clearly corrupt, legitimately horrendous Security officer. I was not so much as interviewed in Processing. I was wordlessly stripped of all of my items by a Cadet, and left in the cell for fifty minutes. I was then threatened by the Warden, and I quote, "I'll bounce your ass off these walls if you cause trouble for my Officers". When I told the Head of Security this, Walter Brooks, he responded, and I quote, ""That's fine, let him." Even though I had stated multiple times to the HoS that I had not even been interrogated regarding my crime, that I was wordlessly put inside the cell by a Cadet and stripped of my things, and was only defending myself from a rogue Security officer, he evidently would have been willing to let me be abused by his Warden. Cut back to the shift that had just transpired. Pyotr Salkov, assigned to the station as an Officer once more, saw me boxing with a toolbox (It is for safety reasons as I only use my right hand for boxing, using both hands places the other individual at risk) and wordlessly came in, stole my toolbox as I was fighting, said "No toolboxes!" and left. He was ordered by miss Taryk to give my stolen property back, yet of course, he refused, and I had to get it myself. This is a gross misuse of authority on the Warden, the HoS, and Pyotr's account. Vira Taryk was an exceptional Head of Security, and should not be the focus of ill-will. These three individuals that I have listed are an atrocious example of station security, and I would very much appreciate their jobs being put in question. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Additional notes:

Unfortunately, that baldie was me. You see, being a Head of Security and an avid perfectionist, I don't want Security littered with bad weeds who try their hardest to put people away for the sole reason of "Grr, I'm fuckin' tough." It doesn't make you friends, it only stresses you out, and the people around you sure don't want to interact with you. And let me tell you, Security was filled with bad weeds. Here I am, a bald, typical greytide assistant. I was "ordered" by a Tajaran Officer to not pick up any more toolboxes, because "respect my authoritay, I am the law". Refusing this obviously illegal and heinous, corrupt order, I took another toolbox as a part of my character. Wordlessly, as soon as Pyotr Salkov saw me, he whips his taser out and begins firing into a crowd of three people. I ducked and weaved, then took the taser from him, shot him full of it, and accidentally whacked him in the chest. (He had both armor on, and it was only one hit, despite me and him being bloody. Tasers do five brute damage. Classifying this as full-on Assault when I was merely defending myself against a corrupt, atrocious officer. I even dropped the taser on the officer's body, backed away, stood still, and said, "Stop, I am defending myself." Then came the wordless pepperspray from Pyotr. Well, if I ran, he would have classified it as resisting arrest or sparking a manhunt, and if I stayed...oh right, I was still put in the Brig for defending myself. Straight to the Brig I go, whisked off by a merry Cadet who I'd beaten three times in a row in the Holodeck and who was still butthurt about losing. Whisked past the Interrogation room, blown into a cell, stripped of every single item I had, and buckled to the bed, this tale goes. Calhoun walks up, despite me saying that I was defending myself, (And mind you, I fully explained the entire situation and how corrupt and awful Pyotr is), my words fell upon deaf ears. Grand Theft, Assault, the full lot. Adding up to fifty minutes in total. I even tried to speak to the HoS. No such luck either. Calhoun even said, and I quote, "Cause trouble for my officers and I will beat you across these walls". I told the HoS, Walter Brooks this, and he said "That's fine, let him. Awful, atrocious behavior from everyone involved in Security that round. -1 from me, irrefutably.
