IC name: Snake Plissken
Ban Type: Perma
Ban reason: As the captain during a cult round, had the AI one-humaned and ordered it to plasma flood. Justified it due to security getting plasma fired by a cultist. Cult was most entirely dead at the point he ordered it, killed by the functioning security team. Cult never even reached the blood halo stage.

My POV: For all of the early round I was in my office, then Scruffy said there were cultist in port bow maint, so I went to look and see if that was indeed the case. Never saw cultist base at that point, but I did encounter something to the tune of 6-8 people who were actively being hostile to me(syringe guns and red hands) and so I fled. I telebatoned one and ran off with them, the one turned out to be scruffy, and so we went to the brig where at this point an officer had detained a cultist who's hand was primed to stun. Spend about 5 or more mins in the brig waiting for the chaplain who never came. At this time we had detained two cultist and we had 8+/- sec personnel in the brig when an atmos tech or a person in their hardsuit massively firebombed and destroyed the brig murdering all of said 8+/- sec officers within. I was able to escape albeit on fire and almost dead via hand teleporter whilst also retrieving the wardens body, and cloned him. At this point and time comms also were down and frankly I was panicking, I didn't know how badly things were snowballing, and at that point in time in my mindset it seemed to be quite bad. I am normally on sybil which is lower pop so I more or less assume all of my sec officers were dead. Little did I know I still had one officer "Enward Jim" who as I would find out later self proclaimed to have killed 7 cult single handedly, as to the validity of that statement I will have to take their word. However I did not know this at the time, and went to the AI sat to change the law set. I am not every wise or smart when it comes to law sets, and I didn't know who could and couldn't be trusted. It is also my understanding (I don't play AI) that they don't meta wise know what a "cultist" is and cant also see mind-shield implants. However I could be wrong in this, but as previously stated, I do not play AI nor know much of the AI meta. With that in mind I figured the easiest thing to do was to just one human it and tell it to prevent the antags via my direction.
The following is a conversion between the AI and myself after the law set change.
At which point they left the holopad as aforementioned comms were down.Snake Plissken says, "Ai"
Snake Plissken says, "Its too late"
Snake Plissken says, "Flood it"
Snake Plissken says, "I dont know"
Snake Plissken asks, "Should we flood it?"
D.O.O.T states, "if you wish"
Snake Plissken says, "I just"
Snake Plissken says, "I am not sure"
Snake Plissken says, "But sec is lost"
D.O.O.T states, "Beggiing pump"
D.O.O.T states, "god speed"
At this point its when I returned to the suspected cult base that was called out earlier in the shift at which point I found Officer "Enward Jim" as he was getting done killing cultist. We chatted and at that point was when he told me how many cultist he had stopped and at which point I went to atmos to stop the flooding. Luckly a non cult atmos tech had already cut off the distropump so it was already stopped. The atmos tech was reasonably mad at me and told me I was stupid and that If I wanted to flood the station I would have to kill him to do it, I told him "so be it." I left him as he was because at this point I no longer had any desire to flood the station as the situation was becoming more clear, and we had seemed to have had the cult contained. At which point the shuttle was 2 mins out or so and I told "Enward Jim" that we need to head to the shuttle to leave. So we did and the crew boarded and we left.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Frankly I think if you empathize with my situation and frame of mind within context to the whole story as it was unfolding you will understand that while rash, coming from the traumatic incident of the brig fire where I saw what seemed to be all of my sec force die. I had no comms to communicate, and at this point the lightning base attack on the brig made me think the cult was far more pervasive and organized then they actually were. I honestly thought they were already mass converting crew based on crew behavior I observed when I went to clone the warden. That was my mindset when ordering it, albeit unsure, I knew I would have time to stop it if needed. Which is why I went to check out the cult base to see if it was still that bad. It was more of a fail safe and not a "lol ya kill everyone kek" move. To which after finding that the cult was more or less stopped I went to turn said fail safe off. Some people might not agree and I understand that, and I will admit it is rather loose cannon IF you are looking at it from the POV of an aghost. However that being said I wasn't, and working with the fact that I had I made a call. When presented with facts that proved my call no longer viable and more detrimental I went to make sure it was stopped. No flooding ever happened, and when presented with proof it wasnt needed I corrected the situation to make sure it didnt happen.
Please don't tl;dr it,
Thank you for your time.
