Overview of the Incident:

 

During this shift last night, Captain Ini Ugonma requested that a pot of ‘Konyang Tea’ be delivered to her office, early in the shift.  At the time I was occupied with creating a pricing list, that she had aggressively insisted be in place in all service departments, and as a result there was some delay.  Roughly 5 - 10 minutes later, as witnessed by Ms. Bava Schoffer, I brewed the requested tea, and departed to deliver it to the Captain’s office.  As I did not see the Captain inside of her office, I went to place the teapot down on a tray outside, however I tripped doing so and shattered the teapot.  I did not alert the Captain of me doing so at the time, as I became distracted with someone talking to me, I also fully intended to immediately brew a replacement teapot and deliver it to her office as soon as I could.  

I became distracted by several clients at the bar, and by attempting to locate a replacement type of teapot as the bar is only provided with a single of the ‘Konyang’ style teapots.  Some time later, the Captain and Head of Security arrived at the Bar, and asked about the tea.  I did not inform them of what happened, as I feared retaliation for my mistake, as I’d noticed on several different instances, that the Captain was quite aggressive towards the crew, and wanted to avoid any retaliation for what ultimately, was a simple mistake on my part.  

At this point, I filled a coffee pot with the requested tea, and hand-delivered it to her office. She was quite aggressive, and upset about the tea.  I informed her that I’d brought Tea to her office earlier, but didn’t know what happened to it.  At this point I figured that the Captain would be annoyed with me, but ultimately just settle with having her tea now.  

Instead, the Captain had security organize a search of the Horizon for the Tea Kettle, apparently involving both the detainment of an IPC (so I heard), and security questioning me regarding the appearance of the kettle, what it looked like, where I’d left it, etc.  

Later into the shift, security approached me with a warrant, detained me, and escorted me to the brig for questioning, where I repeated what I had told the Captain earlier.  At that time, Ms. Reyer stated she believed the charges were clearly hearsay, that they wouldn’t proceed, and attempted to release me.  However the Captain insisted that I had ‘Trespassed’, and ‘Failed to obey a Legitimate Order’, and had me incorrectly fined 700 Credits, prior to security later returning 200 CR, as it was ‘a mistake’.  

While I fully admit that my breaking of the tea-pot, and fear of an excessive reaction by the Captain started this series of events, I contend that Captain Ugnoma’s response lacked any sense of proportionality for what was, ultimately, a genuine mistake that I saw corrected, by delivering a replacement pot of tea.  This demonstrates a lack of tact, diplomacy, or understanding seems grossly inappropriate for someone in such an elevated position.
