Overview of the Incident: 

Captain Martin Walker made a general command over the common radio of the Horizon for all crew to hear that Synthetics are not to be considered as part of the vessel's valid races. The Captain went to reinforce his statement with words such as "A Machine is a Machine." and "...I won't comment on that person part." Both statements which enforce that the Captain's initial statement about removing IPC crew members as a recognized race amongst the Horizon was not meant in jest.

Submitted Evidence: 

Taken from the Horizon's radio logs (OOCly I do also have a screenshot)

[Common] Llewellyn Morgan pauses, the static from his mic playing for a few seconds. "Right. Gonna ask it. What all races do we got aboard?"
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi asks, "You mean... Sspeciess?"

 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "Sssinta, Human, Ssskrell, Tajara, Dionae and Vaurcae... Oh and Ssssyntheticssss."
 [Common] Llewellyn Morgan says, "You count those as a species? Synths, that is."
 [Common] Broadsword says, "Happy to be included, Ms. Ahzi."
 Broadsword says, "Happy to be included, Ms. Ahzi."
 [Common] Llewellyn Morgan says, "Not that I figure anythin' wrong with it."
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "They are put in the "sssspeciess" box on paperwork."
 [Common] Llewellyn Morgan says, "Fair 'nuff."
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "It ssseemsss to be the general concencusss."

 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "Yesss."
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "I have yet to fully masster Bassssic. Excussessss."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "I hereby decree as Captain that synths are not to be included in that category. Thanks."
 [Common] Llewellyn Morgan says, "S'alright. Dunno much about these bugguns, can I get word on them? I got passin' familiarity wi' the rest, save fer the- uh...tree...folk? Darvan's callin' em that. I ar'dy forgot the name."
 [Common] Havoc G3.486F726 says, "Elaborate, Captain."
 [Common] Zamira Pelley asks, "How do they fill out the paperwork then?"
 [Common] Jill N1luz says, "That hurts captain."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "Machine's a machine, Havoc."
 [Common] Havoc G3.486F726 says, "Acknowledged."

 [Common] Jill N1luz says, "Oh, alright then."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "I won't comment on that person part, Mister Morgan, as to not start a big fight in the radio."
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "I'm affraid ssuch changesss are made on a much higher level than thissss ssship, Captain. Centcomm will inssssisssst on usssing the proper format in their fax, alwaysss..."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "Let's leave it at everyone having their own opinion."
 [Common] Llewellyn Morgan says, "That's a question that'll always get you in hot water."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "I was half-joking, Miss Ahzi."
 [Common] Martin Walker says, "Anyway, let's not dig up a new hill to die on."
 [Common] Ankala Ahzi says, "Oh, excusssessss."

Would you like to be personally interviewed?: 
[ ] - Yes
[x] - No

Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: 

Ankala Ahzi - Executive Officer

Actions taken: 

None, as the Captain has command over the vessel, and the Executive Officer does not have power over them.

Additional Notes:

I am open to an interview if required.
