Overview of the Incident:

The incident began when I heard Legatus ask over communications who should he talk to about Security allowing the Chaplain to force water down someone's throat. I then shortly after heard this from the Warden Nia Snyder "It's proving to be an effective method." I quickly made my way over to Security, and I saw all I needed to confirm the validity of Lagatus's concerns. Nia Synder was allowing, and has been claimed participated in the torture of one of her charges by the chaplain. When I arrived Surgeon Astor Shaner was already there wanting to get to the Prisoner to administer treatment of which he was being Denied by Snyder, and Fenrir who was also present, and overseeing the act. At my order Legatus let us in, and I asked Shaner to tend to the Prisoner. I was distracted shortly afterwards, and by time I had returned the prisoner had jumped down disposals. Snyder claimed that I was at fault, and I should never have let Shaner in there. Quote 'do not get in the way of Security work. You may be a head, but you're still an Engineer.' Security work in this case torturing a prisoner. Shortly afterwards with the permission of the Chief Medical Officer I took on Acting Captaincy. Snyder continued her display of unprofessional conduct by continuing to insult myself, and my department before I arrived at the brig for a second time. I charged her with i219 Mistreatment of a Prisoner, and ordered her arrested. Once in processing she explained the reason of her actions leading up to the time I intervened. Lacking any real reason for allowing the eccentric at best unstable at worst Chaplain access to a prisoner, and then authorizing the prisoner's torture I informed her of my decision to demote her to cadet as per applicable punishment under i219. At this time Captain Vincent LeChiffre arrived, and Snyder, and Fenrir proceeded to ignore the proceedings informing me to 'go back to your Engineering'. I informed Captain LeChiffre of the current events, and he asked me to continue in my capacity as Acting Captain. I informed him of my intentions to demote Snyder, and he agreed furthering wanting her to be suspended. I let him know Security had no intention of listening to me, and he made an announcement to the effect Security should listen to me. At this time I went to the Head of Securities office to get the paperwork requested in order. Fenrir decided, despite me continuing in my capacity as Acting Captain, and informing him of such that I was trespassing, and physically assaulted me. Grabbing me, and slamming me into a table then pinning me down to the ground. He claimed until he saw I was still Acting Captain in writing he didn't have to listen, and Captain LeChiffre had to come down personally to see me released. When later the paperwork was filed I presented it to Snyder to inform her of the decision. She refused to comply with the order, and tore up the copy of demotion papers. I ordered her arrested yet again for neglect of duty though looking back i111 might have been more applicable. Fenrir asked for a warrent which was provided, and then flatly refused to follow orders in addition to threatening other officers with detainment if they tried to follow orders. At this time IAA McBell arrived, and Fenrir, and Snyder refused to comply with arrests until he had fully investigated the matter. I gave my statement to Agent Bell, and left to help deal with a Biohazard which had appeared. Later I was informed that Central Command had ordered the suspension of both Fenrir, and Snyder pending an investigation into the matter. LeChiffre had unfortunately returned to cryo, but had the forms completed. Again once confronted by the order for suspension, and confirmation from Agent McBell that they had been filed both Snyder, and Fenrir refused to comply, quoting my 'Engineering' bias, and lack of the 'right' evidence as reasons why the order was invalid despite it coming from Captain LeChiffre. Fenrir further elaborated that Security had better not come to arrest them lest his bag become full of their weapons. Both Fenrir, and Snyder refused to recognize the chain of command throughout the shift always believing themselves to be in the 'right' or else claiming any arrest on them was illegal regardless of the arguments presented, or procedures followed. I find it appalling that these two openly ignored the system of regulations they are hired to enforce, and then to attempt to use that system as a means of escaping punishment for their actions.
