With a gun the HoS gave me, a stun baton sitting outside robotics maintenance (while searching for Lillian after she teleported out of the brig), and the cuffs from the shady man, the captain was captured after chasing me and the shady man through maintenance with a cuffed Lillian in tow.
I was really wondering why nobody arrested me. Even the captain stopped caring. I walked to the brig and sat there for a long time, in full view of the captain. I think he really believed my lie about the shady man being too unstable for a cyborg, but was still pretty pissed.
That was a frustrating round for me as CE. I had Lillian insulting me the whole time (which made for some funny RP). The captain could not make up his mind about whether axl and/or lillian should or shouldn't be arrested. The HoS was apparently a traitor, which only made the captain's lack of decision making skills worse. While chasing the shady man in a maint tunnel, he seeminly dissapeared. Axl's army of security bots kept stunning and cuffing me because I was carrying a stunprod.
From my point of view, based mostly on what I heard over the radio, lillian attacked the captain, and axl protected her, and both should have been arrested. If the captain had just said that, it would have been done. I can't stand when a captain or HoS just won't make a decision. When the prisoner in the orange jumpsuit is filling in the heads of staff on what happened, you know the situation's out of control. The HoS had a good reason, of course, as a traitor. I guess the captain was just inexperienced.
So in the end, all I could do was stun and cuff lillian for insulting me so much, then walk away shaking my head. The captain's most important job is communicating to the crew. And when the captain makes a decision, he really has to stick to it, unless he finds out he was completely wrong about something.
Oh well. On another note, the increased amount of antags has overall been a really good change. Rounds tend to end after an hour or so, and I've had quite a few exciting rounds as non-antag CE. It's pretty fun fixing all the damage the antags are doing to the station, keeping power up while they do everything they can to screw it up, and even catching the occasional traitor.
