Captain Griffon Schlourde, throwing in my account of events. Present for round one.
There was plasma reported in Cargo - I originally assumed it was from a canister, until they called that the plasma was coming from the vents. Sure enough, I saw plasma in the halls on my way to Atmospherics.
Upon arrival at Atmospherics, I saw that it was flooded with plasma, but there were no signs of forced entry - Maybe the person had hacked in, but had re-screwed the doors behind him. Conspicuously, the Atmo APC was unlocked - I don't know if you know this, but if you use tools to hack an APC it only remains unlocked for a short period of time, usually just enough to cellswap and turn Equipment on.
The APC was unlocked by ID Swipe, not by hacking, which means whoever did this had access to power equipment, and likely had access to Atmospherics as well - Most people don't bother to re-screw a door for a clean hack. There was no Chief Engineer, no Engineer, and no Atmospheric Technician. A Chief Engineer would have full access to the area, an Engineer would know how to cleanly hack the door and APC, and an Atmo Tech would have access to tools, gloves, and atmospherics and would likely know how to hack the APC. The HoP was accounted for, the Captain's Spare ID was accounted for, and the Captain's Main ID was accounted for. Security and General had no reports of all access, and everybody who could issue it was accounted for.
The APC was unlocked by ID Swipe, not by hacking, and the equipment power was off. I turned it back on, called the detective in (My fibers only), and turned off the pumps (Plasma to Distro). By this point, large chunks of the station were on fire, so I called the shuttle and started yelling for firesuits and internals. I thought nothing of grief - Prior to this, the Chemist was all but confirmed of being a traitor and the clown was suspected of colluding, and where there's one traitor there's more - Flooding plasma is behind releasing the singulo and on par with mass bombing for forcing a round end.
Skip towards the end of the round, approximately two minutes before shuttle arrival. I've made it safely to the escape wing, along with the Head of Security, the Chemist, and a few randoms. The Head of Personnel walks in, wearing the Chief Engineer's hardsuit, the
Atmosian fire axe (The Bridge axe was on my back), and openly wearing a
Captain ID - That is, a normal ID modified to Captain job title. That last one is what tipped me off - Nobody should have Captain ID but me, The Captain, and if a HoP is shitty enough to
not change the job to "Head of Personnel" he's probably shit anyway. Valid Salad, on grand theft - Tase, Cuff, Buckle, Search. Nothing shifty on him, outside of All Access.
Being the HoP, he's kinda expected to have all access anyway, I mean, who doesn't, right? That doesn't mean it's not
technically illegal, and he wasn't exactly subtle about it. Once the shuttle arrived, I tossed him into the shuttlebrig and thought nothing of it. Criminal brigged, no problem right?
Then, in the most damning thing, he says...let me dig through these logs here...

This. This right here. Even if he was lying through his teeth, that's
still not cool. Like walking up to airport security and yelling "HAH HAH! I HAVE A BOMB! I AM GOING TO HIJACK A PLANE NOW!".
For that, I executed him. Either he's stupid (No mercy), he's an antag (Valid salad), or he's fucking with us (Fuck him). Turns out, he wasn't an antag on the round-end report.
Only after round-end did I piece it all together.
Unlocked APC - Someone with access to Atmospherics AND Engineering
All Access - Means to gain unforced access, means to unlock the APC.
Chief Engineer's Hardsuit - He was in the area
Atmosian Axe -
He was in Atmospherics
Gloating confession - He either did it, or is screwing with us.
It
fits.
This fucker lit the station on fire for shits and giggles.
The part that really cheeses me off? No parallel volume pumps, no volume pumps
at all, no hard-piping, no O2 in the mix, no spaced scrubbers, not cleaning evidence, no
nothing. Just straight up Plasma to Distro, like a low-effort casul.
This fucker lit the station on fire for shits and giggles, and
he didn't even do a good job of it.
BAN HE
Edit:
The round prior to Round One above, Charlton Logue (As Chief Engineer, Non-antag) broke in to the AI Upload and attempted to
Antimov the AI. This was A-Helped by myself, and handled by Neerti, possibly also by Errorage. I believe it was also overwatched by WJohnston.
