jury duty

The Punishment System How It Works: The number one rule of the captains is do not harm fellow crew members. The Moira doesn't have a strict environment, but that one rule is asked to be followed. What normally would result in hold time, the captains believe is no longer enough to keep crew from harming one another. This has brought about the creation of the punishment system. The rules are simple. If you physically injure another crew member or murder them, you are required to comment to this page using the form below. You will be asked to pick three different punishments from the stages below, each vary in how extreme they are, and to put those punishments into the comment you make using the form. From the date that you post here until three days later, players will be allowed to respond to your comment with a vote. This vote is what their character believes is a worthy punishment for the crime committed. The captains will not vote unless there is a tie. ICly: A MID message will be sent out detailing the events; it will have an attachment of the footage (only in the case of a murder, all other events will not show footage) with it. Crew members will be asked to seek out the captains in the mess hall and relay their vote as to the offenders punishment. Currently, a new system is in the works. Find out more here. The Three Stages Category One: ☄ Three to five days in the hold ☄ One month of latrine cleaning duty ☄ Two month of laundry duty ☄ Create your own Category Two: ☄ One of the above punishments and a loss of two ranks ☄ Off-ship privileges revoked: One week and a loss of two ranks ☄ Off-ship privileges revoked: Two weeks and a loss of two ranks ☄ Create your own Category Three: ☄ Solitary confinement: Three days ☄ Solitary confinement: One week ☄ Solitary confinement: One week plus a reset to Incipen ☄ Create your own List of Current/Past Offenders: ☄ Sans skelepun ☄ Adrian Clark forcefulgift ☄ Chara heart_breaking ☄ Peter takeitslow ☄ Alice Quinn niffin ☄ Rinzler notglitching ☄ Tarn sparkwhisperer Punishment Form: <b>Player</b>: (Handle or name you go by) <b>Characters Involved</b>: NAME <user name=NAME> | NAME <user name=NAME> <b>Details</b>: Please describe the type of death or injury.

[skelepun]

Player: Em
Characters Involved: Sans skelepun | Chara heart_breaking

Details: After learning of Chara's presence and activities on the ship (specifically the near murder of his brother), Sans met Chara on the observation deck with the intent of convincing them to leave the Moira with the other refugees once they arrived. He made it clear that this was not a request, and Chara did not take kindly to this show of force.

Chara attacked Sans with a screwdriver and the resulting altercation ended in Sans killing Chara with his magic. While Chara finished the altercation very battered, Sans does not have a scratch on him (he's very good at dodging...). If asked, he has very little to say about what he did. He is not remorseful about killing Chara in the slightest, but very remorseful about causing anyone else pain because of it.

Though honestly, mostly he just doesn't really seem to care about anything, including what happens to him. Shrugs for everyone.

[heart_breaking]

Player: Zal
Characters Involved: Chara heart_breaking | Sans skelepun
Details: The camera in the hallway shows that Chara went to San's room, struck him in the doorway, then went inside and closed the door. The next person to go in after Chara left found his remains. The murder seems premeditated, and Chara is currently glowering at anyone who approaches. If pressed for a reason for the murder, they'll point out 'He killed me!' with various degrees of emphasis.
Threads: Here it is!

[takeitslow]

Player: Hattie

Characters Involved: Peter Maximoff takeitslow | Rinzler notglitching | J. M. Austen gentlemenpreferblondes

Details: This happens IC on the 14th.

Footage will show that Peter, with the help of Alice Quinn (niffin) laying a trap for Rinzler in the aft with obvious intent to cause serious injury or kill the program. Said trap will involve putting up an electric net to electrocute or short out Rinzler's system, which will be shown to fail, and raising the temperature of the room to overload/slow down Rinzler. Peter will be shown leading Rinzler into the aft and attempting to get him into the net. Failing that, the two will be shown getting into a physical altercation.

In the ensuing struggle Peter steals the programs weapons, exploits an injury to force Rinzler down, and will look to be attempting a kill before Rinzler is able to take Peter down instead. The fight will directly lead to J being killed by Rinzler when she attempts to help Peter.

If questioned for trial, Peter will refuse to discuss either the intent behind his actions or Alice's involvement in any official capacity, instead insisting to take full blame for the incident himself. Any remorse shown will be on behalf of J's death; he will not act as though he feels anything about his attempt to kill Rinzler.

Possible Punishments:

Category 1: Five days in the hold.

Category 2: Five days in the hold and the loss of two ranks.

Category 3: Three days of solitary confinement and the loss of two ranks.

Characters Involved: Alice Quinn niffin | Peter Maximoff takeitslow | Rinzler notglitching | J. M. Austen gentlemenpreferblondes

Details:

This happens IC on the 14th.

(References - Peter Trial. After the second suggestion that she be tried as well, she’ll volunteer.)

Footage will show Alice, with the help of Peter Maximoff (takeitslow) laying a trap for Rinzler in the aft with obvious intent to cause serious injury or kill the program. Said trap will involve putting up an electric net to electrocute or short out Rinzler's system, which will be shown to fail, and raising the temperature of the room to overload/slow down Rinzler. Peter will be shown leading Rinzler into the aft and attempting to get him into the net. Failing that, the two will be shown getting into a physical altercation.

In the ensuing struggle Peter steals the program’s weapons, exploits an injury to force Rinzler down, and will look to be attempting a kill before Rinzler is able to take Peter down instead. The fight will directly lead to J being killed by Rinzler when she attempts to help Peter.

Alice refuses to discuss Peter’s actions or his involvement, and tries to take blame for the incident herself. She seems remorseful for what happened to Peter and J, but will express no emotion for Rinzler.

If questioned, she claims that there’s been evidence for a while that Rinzler is dangerous, and that the Captains showed no signs handling the problem effectively. In her view, it’s not about what Rinzler is, but what he’s done: The crew is full of scary people, but most of them have enough self-control that goading them into violence wouldn’t have worked at all.

[notglitching]

Player: Sharn
Characters Involved: Rinzler (notglitching) || Vorrick Longshadow "Cannae Spearfall" (longshadow), Peter Maximoff (takeitslow), J.M. Austen (gentlemenpreferblondes)

Details: The camera in Rinzler and Cannae's quarters turned on just past midnight on the 14th when it registered a ping from Cannae's MID-- he'd taken physical harm from an identity disk blow to his side. The fight that followed was short and one-sided; Rinzler was armed with a disk and charged baton against the broken sticks the elf was using. After killing Cannae, Rinzler stared at the body, wiped the blood from his disk, and left. Medical staff report that the damage is too extensive for a resurge; Cannae (Vorrick) is perma-killed. Under questioning, Rinzler will claim that the user started it, though there is no other evidence either way.

All remaining incidents have full visual recordings. After leaving Moro #009, Rinzler walked through the halls until he encountered Peter Maximoff. Peter taunted him, and Rinzler attacked with lethal force, pursuing Peter through the halls until arriving at a trap Peter had prepared. The trap was partially effective, and after some combat, Peter was able to bring Rinzler down. However, Peter faltered, hesitating to deliver a killing blow. Rinzler had no such qualms, and promptly rezzed up (materialized) a lightsword through Peter's gut.

J came across the fight, and put out a call for help. When she saw that Rinzler was readying to finish Peter off, she left cover, trying to shove Rinzler off Peter. Rinzler turned and struck, killing her with a disk blow. At this point, armed reinforcements arrived on the scene, and Rinzler was rapidly knocked out. Peter was hospitalized, and will survive. J is dead, and initial attempts to resurge her have failed. ((OOCly: it'll happen, but much later-- characters are welcome to assume perma-death.))


While Rinzler hasn't been through a jury trial before, this isn't a first offense. The night he arrived, he tried to murder his duplicate, Tron, seriously injuring both Tron and Bel Thorne, who tried to break the fight up when they arrived on-scene. He attacked Peter once before to no effect, and fought him a second time while on a spacewalk, breaking his ribs through the vacuum suit before they were separated by force. Of those incidents, the first and third were reported to the captains; Rinzler spent five days in the hold and was forced to work out his issues with Tron after the first, and received extra cleaning duties plus one night in the hold for injuring Peter before. Given the interest of certain parties Wanda, all three prior fights will be detailed as above during the trial.

Rinzler won't "speak" unless directly addressed, and then is terse and uncommunicative even by his standards. He's refused repair for his own damage, but it doesn't seem to be out of any guilt.

Threads:

• Fight with Vorrick
  
• Fight with Peter and J

Possible Punishments:

Category 1: Five days in the hold.

Category 2: Seven days in the hold, off-ship privileges revoked for two weeks after (including personal flights, though not transporter work with others), and eight meetings with an arbitration officer or ship counselor over the same duration. Meetings will last for a minimum of an hour and focus on applying nonviolent/nonlethal solutions.

Category 3: Solitary confinement for ten days, plus two hours daily with a probation officer or hold workforce officer after, at whatever activity they consider reparative. This will last until they evaluate Rinzler not dangerous to other members of the ship, or for a maximum of one month.


((OOC note: while I'm fine to add further repercussions if there's a consensus that way, I'd like to ask that no attempt to recode or permanently limit Rinzler get successfully voted through the jury trial. There's a CR plot followup to this where that will be an IC goal, and while characters are totally free to argue for it here, having it actually implemented at this stage would undercut a lot of planning. Relatedly, if anyone wants in on that plot, they're absolutely welcome!))

[sparkwhisperer]

Player: Tev
Characters Involved: Tarn sparkwhisperer | Luke Skywalker crudematter | Riptide knaval
Details: After Tarn goes alone through the ingress on Amissis-Re, Luke decides to retrieve him. Back aboard his ship and thinking that his short time aboard the Moira was only a strange dream, Tarn fuels with copious amounts of Robot Steroids in preparation to meet with a possible ally in the war against a defected Megatron. When Luke shows up to bring him home they engage in an in-depth conversation in which Tarn states that he doesn't have any business aboard the Moira and that he should stay where he belongs with The Decepticon Justice Division. Luke tells him that he should work to improve on a situation where he is at a disadvantage and and that his definition of "fitting in" may be too narrow.

After a while Tarn reluctantly is convinced to return to the ship, but with his mind clouded with the lingering effects of the Nuke that he fueled with, his temper is extremely volatile.

Luke signals his Contact, Riptide, on the other side of the ingress and they travel through together. Once back on Amissis-Re, Tarn is disoriented and short tempered. The minute that Riptide opens his mouth he alludes to the thought that Luke should have just left him to rot in the Ingress. Immediately, Tarn locks onto the comment and spirals into fury. Luke desperately tries to diffuse the situation, but in no mood to hear him out, Tarn kicks him into a wall, knocks him unconscious, and breaks several of his ribs. With his shoulder angel out of the way, Tarn proceeds to viciously torture and Murder Riptide, ultimately ripping out his spark.

Then Megatron comes and beats the snot out of him.
