((PW has put me between you three and the normal troops. Upwards diagonal to Lars, who himself is above the regular guys. oh, and you'll need to drop the Tinker ban in-character - and that post ninja'd this one with an argument against it.))
All right. Like I said, it is what it is, and my position being shuffled around to put me in charge of Hephaestus makes it a bit murky, to me, at least. Then again - no military background, I was a civilian contractor, not a colonel, or whatever rank I could be attributed.
As to the issue of me 'going vigilante', I have to disagree. From my perspective, at least, it would be an officer's job to handle discipline on their subordinates, though I suppose I went further than I should have, but I don't know enough medicine to have not killed him temporarily no matter what I did, and having The Doctor do it with me in absentia would not send the message I wished. However, if you feel differently on the matter, then you're the general on scene, and I respect your opinion on that - though I have to say, I was unaware you were even out of stasis at the time - if you were in the room, I didn't see you.
As to keeping him off Hephaestus, you needn't do anything. Steve can handle that quite capably, though I will make the one exception for the upcoming defense. Only starting when it is imminent, mind - not from now until the end of it. Staying away from him will not be difficult - he'll be stuck under The Doctor's care for the regrowing of his chest cavity for quite some time, I imagine. And I trust Miyamoto to make an informed decision as to Auron's project - mind, I didn't want it dismantled, simply rearmed more appropriately. And while Auron may not have had the intent to kill, he certainly would have done so - you have video evidence of that in the logs.
As for the punishment of restriction from Tinker, I must object - we have very limited time before any designs we are to use is finalized. At the least, I request the punishment be delayed until after this critical deadline has passed - as to why it should be granted, consider this: Anton has made a rather ingenious design for a pure fusion device, but it is expensive. I could make a device of similar power, also of pure fusion, but at at least a half of the cost - considering it wouldn't involve any kinetic amps at all, compared to the multiple in his design. With such limited resources for our defense, such projects are critical, and while it sounds arrogant, especially to myself, I am probably one of the best engineering minds on this ship.
