Reason for complaint:
During a greenshift where I was playing as CE and only engineer, event meteors fired and damaged the engine. Due to a combination of not being near engineering at the time, and the seven emitters I had going, the engine integrity began dropping very quickly. By the time I had done everything I thought necessary to prevent it from fully delaminating, the integrity was low enough for messages to be announced on regular comms, around 20% or so. At that point I had done everything I thought necessary to prevent the engine from delaminating: the SM was still losing integrity, but at a much slower pace, and it looked like it would all rebound at around the 10-15% mark.
Ragolution, the only admin online at the time, apparently possessed the SM crystal and had it juddering around inside the core after I had left it. I'm fine with a little light shenanigans, where it's safe, and I even engaged by yelling at it IC. I puttered around a bit more, got injured by the anomalies that spawn throwing shit around the engine room, and as I was going to get some quick medical, the possessed SM crystal yelled at me:
While I was slapping a couple bruise packs on, there was a Central Command report:
While returning to Engineering, I heard from a cyborg that the Head of Security, Ichimiya Lydden, had apparently entered Engineering looking to help, and had been dusted by the SM. Upon arriving back at Engineering, I saw the SM crystal moving at high speeds outside the core, all through both the engine room and engineering at large. This continued for a few minutes while I and the cyborg watched. The crystal came within one tile of both of us several times. The HoS' remains were just outside the core itself, in the room with the core air alarm: not somewhere you could be dusted without a moving SM. Coincidentally, this is also the precise location where I was subsequently dusted by the crystal, returning to the core. It would have been immediately obvious that I was moving around the area, and just throwing the SM through the one tile wide gap was liable to hit me, which it did.
I had received a cloning scan earlier, and the cloner was on autoprocess, so I was cloned normally. I also saw the HoS being spawned in over the cloning scanner to be scanned, then dusted so they too could be cloned, but all of our gear was lost in a reckless fit of badminry. I sent a salty adminhelp on the spur of the moment, to express my dissatisfaction:
and received this reply:
"Helpful" advice notwithstanding, I don't believe this is an appropriate response from an admin that had dusted two heads of staff after possessing the single most dangerous thing on the station for shits and giggles, even on an extended round. All of this was pretty immature, for admin input during the natural progression of a random event. Possessing the SM crystal and having it run around engineering at ghost move speed was a particularly shitty move, and ended up dusting two heads of staff, and almost got a cyborg as well. That we were both able to be cloned isn't exactly much of a relief either, with no effort made to get us the equipment we lost due to dusting back, and I immediately left the round. As far as I can tell, the HoS was given a new ID by the Captain, and proceeded to more or less remain in their office for the rest of the round, too.
