What rule(s) were broken: Rule 16
Description of the incident: The Predators boarded the ship, and were requesting their eqipment back, so I asked the researchers to provide it but they didnt have it. The preds said they would leave, and as they ran down the hall, the captain ordered me to follow and kill them. I protested slightly, saying it was a bad idea, called him insane, but complied with the order and began chasing after the Predators. I Drew my weapon and ran down the hall. The CO then shot me in the back as I was running, knocking me over, and then Executed me. According to the rule 16, the CO must follow the rules laid out in the battlefield execution section of marine law, which says it must follow one of these reasons:
-Threat to your command. Credibly attempting to or threatening to undermine your command or attempting to remove your command through illegal means. (The CL or other crew reporting you to high command does NOT permit you to BE them. A minor insult or disagreement is not undermining your command, countermanding or refusing to follow orders is.)
-Threat to persons. Credibly threatening and attempting to do harm to the CO or to someone while in the CO's presence.
-Threat to the ship. Credibly threatening or attempting to do damage to the ship or the USCM while in the CO’s presence.
I posed no threat to command, and my insult, "you are insane" is also stated to not be undermining command. Nowhere does it authorize a BE on the grounds of hesitating to run face first into a losing battle against two predators. I followed his orders, albiet delayed by a few moments due to having to type my response, and he decided that even AFTER i began executing his order that he could BE me.
In addition to this, refusal to follow an order is not in and of itself an Executable offence. It posed no immediate threat to him, as the Preds were far down the hall where we could not catch them. If he wished to report me for breaking marine law as the CMP, i could understand that, but his blatant misunderstanding of what counts as "usurping his authority" leads me to believe that he doesnt even care. I did hesitate when I should not have, but he was by all means not permitted to use a battlefield execution given the circumstances.

How you would punish the accused: I think a warning is fine if this is a first offence or a mishap, and seeing as he is a well known CO, i doubt any further punishment would be necessary anyway.
