Rule 2, Rule 3, Rule 4, Rule 11

Description of the incident:

Late into the siege, the southern side of FOB was breached with multiple xenos within FOB. Marines was retreating into the dropship to include myself. Kyle Mortland was resistant to launching even when there was the queen, a ravager, and boiler gas easily in view of his cockpit. One of the SOs ran into the cockpit to launch instead and we successfully launched. Upon landing, the PO maintained the dropship lockdown on the Almayer in spite of multiple individuals protesting. Kyle informed everyone that we were going back down. Attempts were made by multiple individuals to prevent the launch and/or lift the lockdown. The Almayer launched back to the overran LZ. Xenomorph entered the dropship upon landing and there was again fighting.

During that time at FOB, multiple marines were killed, and Kyle was killed by the marines. His ID was taken to allow the return to the ship. A marine took Kyle’s body and removed his head. The MPs had gathered at DS on the Almayer. Norman informed the PO of their status. Kyle was then ahealed by staff due improper escalation. Unless someone launching evac in place of the PO is considered grounds to perform highly lethal actions like sending the DS down into a breached and infested LZ is not cause, I am assuming that Kyle failed to mention any of his actions prior to the marines killing him in his own ahelp. Now, that is ultimately for staff to determine, but they would know if any of these events were reported by Kyle. If he failed to mention his own actions, that is a violation of rule 3, community expectations to be truthful and honest to staff.

As an officer, a PO is expected to follow RP standards to a higher degree than enlisted. Sanity is a stated requirement and heading back down to a hostile-controlled LZ against orders is a clear failure of meeting those standards as written in Rule 2.

Locking everyone on the dropship on Almayer when there were no xenomorphs present, stating we were going back, going so far is resisting being removed from the cockpit to ensure the dropship headed back is the definition of griefing. Kyle created the situation that got him killed as multiple marines died on the DS because of his actions. This is a clear violation of Rule 4.

For the ML breaches, illegal confinement, attempted murder (multiple), murder (multiple), and an open door to crimes against humanity as the risk existed when we were surrounded in that situation.

Evidence:

My chat logs are mostly cut off, but there are at least 8 to 10 people locked on the DS against their will. What I have is mostly the aftermath:

Nikolai, the groundside Executive Officer, overrules the PO and launches the Alamo shipside.

The XO is seemingly forced to disarm spam the PO in order to launch the ship.

The PO goes on a massive rant against the XO. The PO seemingly locks down the Alamo when it lands, then, against the orders of the XO, launches the Alamo back planetside.

The XO appears to be dealing with a Corpsman and is not giving the PO 100% attention.

When the PO keeps the Alamo locked down, Corpsman David Richards, the man who will gun down the PO, makes these comments

Corpsman David then proceeds to kill the PO via rifle fire. No evidence of escalation being followed.

Richards shot the PO fifteen (15) times before stopping.

Feb 20, 2024 @ 15:54:59.183 20968 ATTACK ATTACK: /(David Richards) shot Cuberound/(Kyle Mortland) with a rifle bullet in the �Dropship Alamo

None of the other Marines seem concerned that the PO was gunned down, though they are more concerned about the ship about to return to a xeno overrun Landing Zone.

Corpsman David makes these comments after killing the PO
Feb 20, 2024 @ 15:55:13.516 20968 SAY SAY: David Richards [1]: THIS IDIOT (CKEY: ) (JOB: Hospital Corpsman)

Feb 20, 2024 @ 15:56:11.851 20968 SAY SAY: David Richards [1]: LOCK DOORS (CKEY: ) (JOB: Hospital Corpsman)

At this point in this report, the Alamo lands planet side, and a lot of combat begins between the Marines and the Xenomorphs, there is no pertinent information about this fight that need to be logged aside that there are casualties.

Worthy of note that is that Corpsman David finds the dead body of the PO and, noticing they are alive, guns them down, continuing to fire until they are decapitated.

The PO sends an admin help after they are killed. They send a second ahelp when they are killed and decpaitated by Corpsman David

As noted above the PO is given an aheal.

There is a second ahelp ticket about the Corpsman, but that is not relevant to this report and will not be posted unless required.

Regarding the PO they don’t do anything else of note for the remainder of the round, outside of talking about how they were justified to perform their actions. They also make some OOC comments, posted below.

POs OOC comments

Added report:needverdict and removed report:pendinglogs

I can state that I personally attempted to both grab and disarm the PO, and I assume others did also as we attempted to reason with PO to lift the lockdown. This was after XO ordered Mortland to lift the lockdown. Then we were launching back down to the planet. On the planet, at least 2 marines died.

Now, I understand that no attack action was committed by Mortland that would show in the log. If I weld someone in a locker, dragged it into the middle of the hive, and unweld the locker to release my prisoner into the xenos. By all rationales, my actions should be considered lethal to my once prisoner. If my prisoner shot me, it would be meeting my lethal actions, rather than escalation. Granted, that is just how I see it, but that is staffs’ decision ultimately. I do worry if kidnapping and delivering people to the hostiles is protected by the rules of escalation, it will open the doors for more of such behavior.

Hello FrogZeke and all,

I will keep this brief. After reviewing the logs it seems as though the player in question is guilty of rulebreaks namely Rule 2: Roleplay, Rule 3: Community Expectations, and Rule 4: No Griefing.

The only person who administered any hold orders, as far as I have been able to discover, is the executive officer in an announcement about 7 minutes earlier, and that same executive officer made clear that the order had since changed (by fighting with the PO for control of the Alamo).

Out-of-character bloodlust is not a legitimate roleplay reason to bolt the shuttle doors forcing the rest of the players to their potential demise.

This player report is approved, and a pilot officer, DCC, and ASO job ban is being applied to the account.
