Description of what happened:
My sister has been getting into engineering lately and requested me to teach her singularity engine setup. Due to the rulings on metacommunication, we decided to do it IC on Badger while there wasn't anyone around (so that we wouldn't screw up someone's round on Sybil by loosing the singulo) - arrive as a pair of engineers into a new round, and get things done.
In the round that was ongoing at the time of my arrival, she was already eaten by carp, and dragged off; the station was almost completely depowered at that point. Seeing how no one else was there and the HoP was braindead in his office (no shutters, right in front of a window), I entered and took his ID to call the shuttle. As I powered up the shuttle console, I heard someone talking over comms, a single miner, so I announced that I was calling the shuttle just in case.
After the shuttle was called, suddenly a captain popped out of nowhere, and started repeatedly tasering me in search for cuffs. No communication was attempted, and my arrest was settled upon without any response (she spent a full egun and taser clip on tasering me while looking for cuffs spastically, dragging me across half the station before making cable cuffs, just wow). I was subsequently straitjacketed in medbay and sent to the mining station as a prisoner (???).
After the captain set up the power, she took me back to station, and permabrigged me until the end of the round. After lambasting her captaincy, person, skill, and almost everything else about her ICly, I then suicided to space carp conveniently outside the permabrig windows.
Why they should be banned:
I mentioned all the reasons for this ICly, and shall repeat them here. A good captain is skilled, knowledgeable about the station and all departments, is communicative and just, and resolves conflicts instead of applying taser, cuffs, straitjacket, and permabrig liberally before forgetting them. A good captain values courage and honour, and does not burst into tasers the moment someone is suspicious. This captain was absolutely none of those things, and she was deathly scared of any hostility. When she came to recover me from the permabrig at round end, she was decked out in full riot armour and had guns strapped to every inch of her body... gotta be safe from that one unarmed civilian on a peaceful mission to transfer the crew and educate the engineering staff, I guess. The level of competence of this captain was unimaginably low, and yes I am mad at having my time wasted by them.
So, instead of teaching my sister how to engineer, I got to spend an entire hour restrained by a shitler captain in all imaginable ways while my sister was dead and uncloned in Genetics. I will use this incident as an example to show her exactly why new people should not play head jobs without learning basic things about the game, and I would like to see this person banned temporarily from heads to remind them of the responsibility, or anything that would have said effect.
