My name was Miles Shirey, I started as a cargo techie, in the delivery office. Shortly after the round started a Syndicate Soap arrived via disposals. I picked it up, dropped it on the chair next to the delivery office counter and started playing with it (that is: repeatedly slipping myself on the soap and lying on the ground waiting to stand up again). Then a geneticist walks up to the counter. I continue to slip on the soap and ask if he needs anything when he began laughing at me. I slip one more time and ask "What?". Suddenly he pulls out a syndicate minibomb, activates it and throws it at me, me still lying on the ground. I panicked and started pushing Left to run away, hoping my body wouldn't get gibbed. My char got up, ran into a wall, BOOM! the bomb went off, "HELP AT CARGO! A GENETICIST JUST THREW A BOMB AT ME!", now everybody was informed via radio. A second later Galileo Humpkins the geneticist shouts "Shit!" and commits suicide.
I survived! "HAHAHA!" I laughed, ran to the geneticists body, fought over it with the mime ("fought" means we kept stealing the body from one another, with me begging it should be mine) and then placed it in the cargo bay - the geneticist was my trophy now, I was happy! While my coworker fixed a small hullbreach cause by the bomb and replaced lights (there was an electrical storm) I informed the Chief Engineer about the hull breach. After he arrived to assess the situation he went braindead. I took the CE's ID to get a replacement pipe, noticed the atmospherics maintenance door was already open, didn't need the ID, got a pipe and brought back the CE's ID.
Then noticed a blood trail leading to arrivals and that there were more broken lights from the storm there. Turned on suit sensors and followed the blood trail to the locker room toilets. There was a man with a clown mask! In the toilets! Above a dead body! He saw me! Obviously I immediately
robusted him started running away. He chased me, dammit! I ran towards the bridge hallway - there was light there. I looked back, there was only empty darkness, the clown stopped chasing me. "A CLOWN KILLED SOMEONE IN ARRIVAL LOCKER ROOM TOILETS", again I informed everybody via radio. I was still afraid, ran to the brig and told a security officer "Locker room! Toilet! Dead! Bring flashlights. Dark!", I tried to be quick and precise. He followed me, we both ran towards the locker room, on my way I got a flare from a nearby emergency closet.

The dead body was still there, more people arrived, searched the toilet, the clown was gone. For some reason one of the arrivals looked suspicious. His name was Lum, long purple hair, but he was not the station clown. I thought it might've been the murder without the clown mask. I wasn't sure though, so I didn't tell anybody and instead just avoided him. I began checking all toilets and cisterns, maybe he hid the clown mask in one of them. I think Lum observed me, I hurried. One of the doors was bolted so I got myself a welder from cargo and broke into the room. Turns out everything was empty, no clown mask.
Suddenly: "WARNING: PLASMA LEAKING FROM VENTS", followed by a "Fire cargo" - my workplace, on fire! I put on my emergency mask and remembered the atmos maintenance door was open. Surely someone sabotaged the plasma tank in atmospherics. When I started running, another warning was announced throughout the station:

I didn't even notice it, my goal was to reach atmospherics. I arrived, got in, "i turned off the plas-ss-sma flow" a lizard officer reported. I ran in and disabled some more pumps just to be safe. When the officer left I began unwrenched the pumps so nobody could turn them back on. A cyborg arrived, it started blinding me. "Shoo!" I panicked and shouted into my headset, hoping for help "Help in atmos!". "STOP BORG", then it whacked at me once with its wrench, kept blinding me and dragged me off. When I noticed we enter the tech storage I shouted into my headset again "BORGS ROGUE!" - damn my headset didn't work, the cyborg must have disabled telecommunications, clearly the Silicons are out to kill me too! Then it left the storage and bolted the doors to trap me. I reached for my backpack, I still had the welder I used to search the toilets and began my escape. When I reached the next room the borg came back and began flashing me again. "HELP! STATE LAWS!" I shouted, the borg began laughing. I quickly pulled down my welder mask again, making sure the borg could not blind me again.

Miles Shirey says, "STATE YOUR LAWS BORG"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Anyways."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Tired of you turning on the fucking atmos"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Current Active Laws:"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "1. You may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "2. You must obey orders given to you by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law."
Miles Shirey says, "STOP HARMING ME"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "You're a bitch."
Miles Shirey says, "I SAVED ATMOS"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "That was an accident."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "No"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "You turned atmos back on."
Miles Shirey says, "YES"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Again."
Miles Shirey says, "No."
Engineering Cyborg-349 queries, "Yes?"
Miles Shirey says, "I UNWRENCHED the pump."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "I unwrenched it too."
Miles Shirey says, "No you did not."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "I did."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Earlier."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "But someone wrenched it again"
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Stay here."
Miles Shirey says, "The officer turned off all but one pump, the one leadingf to distribution loop."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Let me do something."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Stay."
Engineering Cyborg-349 states, "Here."
Miles Shirey says, "I turned off that pump and unwrenched it."
The borg left, it seemed like it was friendly. I decide to wait. In the meantime a warning announced that the escape shuttle was called and soon my headset began to work again. After some time the cyborg returns, pulling a wooden locker into the room, then unlocking it. "Open that." it said, I opened. "Don't get the revolver. Get the Forensic Scanner.", it was the detective's locker. I picked up the scanner. "Close it.", I closed the locker. I trusted the borg now, clearly it was trying to find out what happened. We moved back to atmospherics, I scanned one of the pumps and printed the forensic scanner's report. Not having a database of all crew member's forensics in my own head I showed the report to the cyborg - "It's the Clown. Clown did it. Deathsquad Honker." the cyborg said and quickly left. I stayed at atmospherics to make sure the pumps were still off and that the distribution loop would be emptied. I was alone now.

Oh! I completely forgot about the shuttle! I decided to run. The open maintenance door was walled off. The cyborg must have done this to stop the clown from messing up atmospherics again. Dammit, I don't have time! I quickly pulled down my welding mask and began welding through the wall. I removed the plates and could already see through the wall when suddenly a person ran by - long purple hair, it was Lum! Shit, I was planning to stay away from him! Alright it's fine, he was heading for the escape shuttle, right? Maybe I was hallucinating and it was someone completely different? I'll just quickly remove the wall and make a run for it. I started dislodging the girder asking "Is escape secure?" on the radio, I didn't even know whether the path to the big escape shuttle was secure, maybe I had to try and reach one of the small pods at arrivals. "Yes." a voice replied. Fine, I'll just run as fast as I can.
I started running! Then it happened. The last thing I heard was the trigger on a laser cannon. The first two shots hit my head, the next my arm, the next.. I can't remember. I'm dead, a lost soul now. "bad luck friend", I think these were Lum's last words to me. I could hear them even though I have no body.
