Description of the incident The entire incident started in Brig, where the MP’s had left me after force feeding me alcohol, and force feeding me food in a regular prison. I was not in a straight-jacket, nonetheless they had been abusing me prior, although they seemed genuinely new to the entire MP job.
The MP’s had been fighting a few xenos, and a warrior broke me out of jail before presumably going to fight someone with a gun that it had spotted. (It didn’t lay a finger on me, so I was quite stunned OOCly and ICly.) I told the Warrior in LOOC to “Destroy the MPs” as a joke, but then it told me that it had “Already done” it. That’s when Hunk, in LOOC, said, “Stop”. With no other words, I did, I said nothing in LOOC after that until he had DM’d me and said I would receive a warning for it, in which I understood and just said Based, I didn’t really have much else to say since I was extremely busy inside CIC.
About four minutes later I had gotten into CIC through a destroyed door, and saw a warrior going to town (literally) on about four marines outside, that’s when I saw one of the MP’s in the room wasn’t dead, where he lowered his gun and took out a stun baton quietly and began chasing me with it, trying to arrest me on what was either a red/delta with a warrior VISIBLY outside of CIC south killing people. The same warrior that had just decimated CIC.
I ran across the room, the MP had either a fracture or a broken bone, and was quite slow. But then he put his stun baton away and raised his shotgun, and began following me.On my way across the room, after seeing this, i picked up a pistol, not checking if it had ammo.
I believe I said “Stop” or something that got the idea across, that he SHOULD stop, especially since the warrior was, again, to my belief and I believe also at the time was STILL alive. I began running circles around the CIC booth glass, with him now chasing me, shotgun still raised and silently chasing me. After about ten seconds of this I heard a shotgun firing sound, and fired my Mod 88 Pistol 2-3 times, in which the MP fell down and went into soft crit, my pistol was out of ammo. I didn’t know he was dead, but I wanted revenge for the abuse and utter shit they gave me in prison, having also denied my appeal.
At this point, I shot the MP dead with a PB from a shotgun, having my revenge extracted, I grabbed one of their IDs to get MY own gear, namely my ID as I could possibly call evac as the dropship was now on its way. (This was a life threatening situation, and Hunk still banned me partially for this.) I then dropped the MPs ID in brig, and went to CIC, at this point Hunk was radio-silent, and I tried to call Evac, but the Consoles gave me access denied. This was the time I watched the MPs body be dragged off, (I assumed to be revived. Still not sure.) and also watched a marine carry the dead warrior's corpse into and out of CIC. This was the time I tried to organize someone to use their second ID, such as another MPs ID, to dual-auth and call an evac/emergency beacon.
Hunk then SLEPT me with no warning, LOOC, or in DM, at this point I was telling the marines who were running lost, to grab my ID and someone else's ID to dual auth the evac, and then Hunk warned me AGAIN for IC in LOOC, trying to guide people who had no idea what the fuck do to.
I tried to explain to Hunk, who was then alerting me that I was being banned for improper escalation, that I could respond with lethal force, when they were trying to kill me with lethal force. Not to mention, trying to arrest me during a Delta with bugs outside, not caring for my safety at all.
To correct Hunk, and to give clarity in this report, I killed a SINGULAR, MP, chasing me with a stun baton in front of a xeno, he then switched to his shotgun. Hunk believed, or didn’t care enough, to look into exactly why or how many MP’s I killed. To state though, I shot two dead MP bodies, because I found the MPs dead when I arrived, I shot their dead bodies as they had been abusing me in custody and force feeding me alcohol as part of my revenge, and not to mention corrupt MPs that don't follow ML should have been dealt with if Hunk had investigated the situation properly.
The singular MP that I actually killed was the senior ranking MP, and had witnessed the others abusing me in jail and did nothing to stop it, even when I was inside the brig for my first charge. That MP had tried to kill me already by attempting to baton me in front of a visible warrior. Attempting an arrest on the 'frontline' is against SOP as is, that can't be more frontline than having a warrior standing in the hallway over. When someone has attempted to kill you, escalation is raised to lethal. When he saw you armed, I still believe he was chambering a round, or firing his shotgun at me (Which is what sent me over the edge), and I killed him to defend myself against someone that has already shown IC that he cares nothing for ML, SOP, or my own life in what was an attempt to kill you before.
EvidenceWhat resolution are you seeking? My ban time was served, there is no way to get time back, and I had personal issues to deal with, the reason for this report being delayed (Grim was understanding of my situation and has allowed me to continue with this report). My note reads as:
Banned for 1440 minutes | Rule 10 - Lethal Force, Breaking Escalation, you murdered MPs when there are Xenos around. IC in OOC twice in a spam of 5 minutes after i just warned you and kept LOOCing it. Rule 2 - Roleplay, you made a MP DNR and stole his ID and had some horrible instances of LRP as Chief engineer. If you want to defend yourself take it to the Forums and fill up a staff report. By x (TrialAdministrator) on 2021-11-02 12:41:16
I do not believe I am wrong to think that that a MP that was chasing me with a stun baton in front of a xeno THEN switching to his shotgun is, in fact, the one escalating the situation to lethal.
Chief Engineer is mostly a joke role at this point with power not being a non-concern. Most CEs and MTs commit crimes in a game of cops and robbers with the MPs. I did not make any MP go DNR, any MP witnessing or participating in my character’s abuse and feeding me alcohol earned my IC ire and deserved their body being ignored by me. Whether they quit because I didn’t help them IC, that is not on me as I was playing In-Character-Actions having In-Character-Consequences.
I took an ID to get my equipment and to start evac. Xenos killing MPs, marines, and surrounding CIC is a life or death situation, Hunk is completely wrong here.
Yes, I spoke a second time in LOOC to tell the marines to take my ID, even after being warned. I aslept while trying to get IDs to call evac, and give people a chance to further enjoy their round when I couldn’t. I understand if staff do feel this part of the note should remain. The first LOOC was born of my frustration at MPs that clearly had no idea (or no care) about ML or SOP. The second was because Hunk was ignoring many parts of the whole situation, and had aslept, other players should the opportunity to escape and survivor, regardless of what happened to me.
So ultimately, a clarification of the rules to Hunk where it applies as he should already know this. And any modifications to my notes that staff feel is appropriate.
