Your side of the story: I died somehow during the round, so I decided to spawn in as a Syndie to try some cool bomb ideas. I've never actually heated meth up to make it explode before, so I made a pyro grenade with ~200u of meth, put a monkey in the bomb testing chamber, and tossed in the grenade. It turns out that that kind of grenade makes a HUGE explosion, even causing a breach in chemistry next door. I think I went to medical to check the monkey's vitals or heal or something, and on the way I met one of my co-workers who yelled at me for causing a breach, leaving me feeling very underappreciated. Thus I threw the monkey carcass at him, which knocked him over (I think I also threw him after that). Once he got up, he threw the monkey back at me, leaving me bruised in addition to underappreciated, so I took out my rifle and shot near him, which was intended to be a warning shot, but was apparently taken as if I was aiming at him. Of course, no one would have accidentally missed such a shot, since he was close to me and I would have had some element of surprise. Regardless, somehow we skirmished our way into the radio room area (I think I had been shot at this point, but I don't remember), where he was holed up by the radio and I shot at him from the hallway using the scope until I finally landed a shot. However, my intention had only been to maim my adversary, and so instead of finishing him off, I ran towards him with the intent of dragging him to medbay, but he got up and ran further away, so I followed him in hopes of incapacitating him. Note that at this point I had been shot several times, since he had been fighting back viciously. However, when I rounded the corner he robusted me to death.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I feel like this was an in-character issue. We had an argument which we escalated, leading to shots fired. It wasn't as if I was some random aggressor. Also, my intent wasn't ever to kill my co-worker, as evidenced by the fact that after shooting him once, I started an attempt to bring him to medbay. In addition to all this, I was the one who ended up dead (and I don't hold a grudge against him, it was properly escalated).
