Approximate time and date of the incident (Central US Time for fastest results) Round began at roughly 2:20PM Central Time
What rule(s) were broken: Rule 6, Rule 15
Description of the incident: I was the Corporate Liaison of the round. I had more or less been dicking around with faxes when a PMC Team Leader spoke over Command comms announcing their presence planetside, soon to be coming up to the Almayer. Captain Tom Dinkle stated they would meet the PMCs with the MP team and greet them, to which the PMC Lead specified they did not want to be met by the MPs or the CO, rather, they wanted to meet me in my office. The Captain acknowledged their request, staying in the CIC to continue dealing with the operation.
The PMC Lead, escorted by a few PMC personnel, came in with xeno eggs in hand. After closing the shutters they informed me of a top priority mission that was currently underway. They were tasked with acquiring eggs then using them to produce Corrupted aliens, then evacuating with the Corrupted. The marines were not allowed to catch wind of the mission. The team moved eggs into the inner portion of the office to stash them, and when they opened the shutters again, we saw MPs standing just outside and staring into the office, watching us. The CMP had told the MPs to 'find where those PMCs are'.*
The PMCs complained to Dinkle about the MPs watching them, and he then came to speak with us personally. He told the MPs not to follow us, and when he left, they still kept following us as we moved into Research.
While I was not aware of this at the time, one of the MPs had apparently been requesting permission to capture and torture the PMCs to figure out what they were doing.** I'm uncertain where this conversation over MP comms fits within the timeline, but if I had to wager I would assume it's somewhere around this time.
The CMP Emma McCain came to Research and spoke with the PMCs after they complained some more over comms, while I walked off to check on the eggs in my office. I wasn't really paying attention to what the CMP said, but it apparently it was enough for the MP team to finally get out of Research. One of them still stood around south of Research for a little while until they got bored and left.
The roughly ten minute long hold-up with the MPs refusing to go away, demanding the PMCs be disarmed, was part of the reason the PMC team was unable to complete their objective, along with (I believe) a PO deeming it necessary to spy on the PMCs via Research cams then use the Command console to claim the PMCs were hostile, they hijacked the Alamo, and were breeding more aliens to attack us with.
The MP team was validhunting, assuming the PMCs were hostile and tried to actively catch them in the act, ignoring the CO's lawful orders to do so. As MPs, they physically cannot disobey lawful orders from Command to do so.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
How you would punish the accused: If they have a history of shitlery as MP, a CMP/MP ban. Otherwise a warning would suffice.
