BYOND account: Digresskew
Character name: Cargo Cult
Ban type: Red Warning
Ban length: N/A
Ban reason: "Manuel - As AI, spent a solid 20 minutes assisting Sec in arresting the CMO for breaking into the Captain's quarters despite multiple Law 2 requests to do otherwise. Also spammed vox announcements a bit, don't do that."
Time ban was placed: 2020-02-04 15:35:55
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed: Cannot be found, there is no ban page because this is a warning.
Your side of the story: As an AI, I had assisted the Chief Medical Officer at the time in entering the captain's quarters. Although I did not ask them at the time, I had assumed they were simply attempting to secure the disk. However, upon surreptitiously declaring themselves acting captain, they then proceeded to grab the captain's locker and try to run out with it. (without securing the disk, I might add) As there was a Head of Personnel at the time, and a research director who was arguably of equal rank and unconsulted on the matter, AND the CMO had not been declared captain in any official or unofficial capacity aside from their own declaration, I viewed this as a capital offense under space law. Because two of the possible punishments under space law are death, and thus are apparently harmful, I had decided to impede their attempt under law one. I had told them that they were entirely free to leave the captain's quarters, so long as they left the locker behind. After a long time of back and forth between me and the CMO over the radio, publicly, I eventually asked security to apprehend them before they did anything that would ACTUALLY get them harmed. the Captain's locker was subsequently stowed in the armory.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I believe that this note is unnecessarily restrictive on AI behavior and interpretation of Asimov laws. Even for Manuel, I think that inhibiting capital offences from proceeding is an entirely justified action according to law one. Vekter clearly thinks differently. I wanted to introduce this precedent to other admins and see what they thought.
