Hey there, people!
Although the announcement could be more clear, I believe XO’s intention was not to grief the MP department by changing their department head but to make the Requisition work more effective considering it was just one Cargo Technician trying their best.
In this scenario, XO authorized one of their Staff Officers to oversee/help the Requisitions and ordered MPs to help the Requisitions work under the command of Lieutenant Smiggins. This means that they were answering to Lieutenant Smiggins for Requisitions matters, and that they were answering to the CMP and XO for Marine Law and MP matters. It is legal for Commanders to appoint MPs to Requisitions so long as they’re not forced to stay there to the detriment of their main duties.
I do not believe XO has done anything against Rule 4 / Griefing. Report denied.
