Well, I’m glad I got this on video. It’s becoming WAY too common for Survivor Synths to chase xenos to their deaths, abusing their incredible power especially at the beginning of rounds. Ask any xenomain, you’ll hear the same. Sadly, not every time we are lucky to have solid evidence, this time we do.
Malcolm chased a DRONE who was simply WEEDING (matter of fact, Malcolm attacked first, the Drone barely did anything combat-related lol, not even 1 slash) to the death, even when the drone clearly was trying her best to retreat.
There is no confusion here, this was no mistake, this was a synth abusing a drone at the very beginning of the round, unequivocally breaking the rules for the Synth whitelist, and I politely ask the Synth council to take serious corrective action and not just let it be with a warning and this was not just a misunderstanding, there is clear ill intent. This trend of “combatsynths” needs to end. Thank you for your time.
Below I’m quoting every bit of the Synthetic Programming Rules that were broken by Malcolm. This Drone was absolutely not a threat to anyone, did not even attack anyone, so the Synthvivor rules don’t excuse this behavior.
I was getting supplies when your drones in medical attacked me. I had attempted to run away, which is recorded in your video as your drone chased after me, attacking me. In most instances, outside of being FORECON (to which, barring exceptional circumstances, I am default-aligned with USCM survivors), I am seldom an actual aggressor towards Xenos. (As I have gone on record that I think most survivors are selfish assholes, and I like entertaining you guys from time to time. As well as warning larva trying to be funny when there are people with guns coming just to keep the game fair.)
Let’s be clear here. Your hive ruined my attempts to get you all to roleplay. I was not naturally aggressive towards it. I was under Delta alert conditions, had been attacked, and I had backup behind me (As seen in your recording).
I needed supplies, and given that your drone and its friend were in that position because it dove trying to fight me like it had been doing, I have no sympathy or need to let it go. To follow up with this fact, your drone had a friend who was also wounded. I completely let go because it didn’t try to dive at me or attack me as I was getting supplies. (Same thing as with a warrior slightly later in the pre-drop when they backed off, my character had no direct need to be involved in a further conflict.)
Had your drones just been weeding, I would have opened up roleplay like I had been trying to with them when they walked up and just started slashing me.
Your drone initiated a fight and only attempted to back away after trying to chase me and depleting its health. The fact that the building I ran into was the building I needed to go into, regardless of not withstanding, I am pretty confident in my kill, nor do I feel like walking through the mental illness hoops to reach this conclusion, you did, where I was just picking on some poor drone.
I’ve got one more bit to add on. However, I will wait until after the logs are pulled and what I said has been confirmed.
Polite reminder that ‘peanut posts’ are not needed here and will be deleted. Unless you are a direct witness providing an account of what you saw, council, staff, or the reporter/reportee please stay out of it.
I was observing this and in this clip it’s cropped out that the drone and Malcolm were fighting each other within the hospital itself and the drone slashed him several times. Malcolm got the drone to around half HP and another drone appeared which would make the synth retreat out of medical away from the drones.
For some reason the original drone, that you’re showing here, gave chase and followed him outside of medical(while being low HP) on his own. The drone ended up being trapped in the lobby because of the door shutting and as such, it’s basically a cornered horror monster and would realistically fight to survive.
I for context observed this whole incident that is being reported here as a ghost. I do reference it in the logs in dchat logs.
to be clear i didn’t crop anything, this is my full time looking at the situation as queen (hence why I’m reporting, cause I believe it’s fair to say I’m affected by this as queen), I was observing other drones before that
I was going to wait until after the logs get pulled. But Paladin did sum this up. I don’t mind being reported and defending myself when needed, especially when someone feels slighted. However, I genuinely have a distaste for you being straight-up dishonest in this report and post.
You come at me with a weighty accusation and bring to the table the legitimate back end of a fight that you weren’t, by admission, even watching unfold.
I will not comment on this further unless requested to do so directly by the council. I am not going to shit on you for trying to hold me to account even if the record you’re trying to hold me to account for isn’t accurate but I do hope you get treated with the kindness from the community that you didn’t want to show me.
The only thing the logs won’t likely show me is moving to switch my language to say hello! To your drones before it started trying to murderate me. I’m not going to be mean to you over this, but I have said my peace.
