How do you view the tool of Battlefield Execution to be used? What circumstances do you think it would be necessary to BE a member of the crew? Where do you think the Battlefield Execution Mechanic Differs from regular Execution and why? I believe that the BE is only to be used when there is no MP's or when the MP force is inadequate for dealing with the threat, only then will a BE will be executed. A BE will be preformed on a member of the crew when they perform certain heinous actions that have been condemned by space law to have such a sentence and the said person is not co-operative and is effectively avoiding the punishment, then the BE will be carried out. A BE is diffrent from a regular execution because a BE does not give the perp a chance to think, a chance to plead or a chance to resist, instead immediately terminating them without much time to think.
How will your Commanding Officer run his/her ship? Provide a detailed explanation on how he would handle situations that might commonly occur such as, a insubordinate Req, Engineering, MP, or Command Staff Odell would be a fair, kind and caring CO, however most times he would have a stiff upper lip, a calm and calculating composure, and a tight grip on the ship and its crew. But not too tight, he is chill enough to let out some jokes from time to time and let the marines taunt him/insult him without invoking his WRAITH.
When insubordination occurs, the MP's will be applied and a sentence for the perp be determined accordingly for their misdoings and mistakes. If there are no MP's, either lower-ranked personnel will be delegated to arrest the perp or I will do it myself. Sometimes, if the reason for insubordination is not that severe, the perp may just be left alone unless the security team is bored out of their mind. After a sentence is determined for the arrested perp, if the perp is in an importaind occupation onboard the Almayer, a suitable replacement will be found.
What do you think is the job of a Commander? The commander's role is to delegate tasks and analyze the situation before making decisions and to take responsibility for the consequences that are subsequent to the decisions that are made.
As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role? I think the commanding officer could do with addidional means of co-ordination and procuring intelligence, such as: a device for completely monitoring and sorting communication that passes through every channel, giving the commander to keep better track of information.
What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted? I could provide adequate leadership onboard the Almayer, improving operational integrity by being a strong source of leadership and decision-making.
Your story (potential topics listed below) Odell originally began as a squad engineer, after a recommendation from the Institute of Space Wranglers, he joined the marines. Odell had a few uneventful deployments, until one fateful deployment, him and his battalion was ambushed by the CLF.
The CLF may have had inferior weapons, but they outnumbered the Marines 10 to 1. They fought long and hard, there weren't many marines left when defcon 1 was reached, and the CO decided to deploy the nuke. Odell was recalled and re-deployed with the remaining men and the nuke and activated the nuke as soon as they landed.
Only Odell and a few others survived until the explosion and only he survived the explosion, as the PO's were too cowardly to return while an armed nuke was on the planet.
Odell awoke back on the ship with tubes attached to every orifice on his body and a new rank pinned to him; Staff Sergeant. From there, he survived every protection detail he was sent on and every mishap that had happened. Until he was promoted to CMP. After leading his team of MP's and successfully repelling a mutiny, he was awarded CO for his leadership skills.
