I disagree. This is right after his trial, during which he repeatedly professed that hes taking responsibiliy for letting the lurker loose, and his sentence was being stripped of his station and no more access to xenofuckery. A slap on the wrist at most.
So what does he do? Immediatly ignore the sentence. Claim leadership of heph due to some hidden closed room vote, thereby upsetting the balance of power and the chain of command during a time where we really can't screw around and probably also inciting unrest amongst the ranks. On top of that he also pulls out some unresearched xenofuckery to threaten with. His little show of putting it at his feet is touching, but why pull it out if you don't actually want to threaten with it. Also remember that this is the thing that with a single bad roll instagibbed a player, produced several wildly powerful artifacts and an eldritch abomination. We also only see the burlap sack, so we're not 100% sure its even in there.
I think my action of simply asking what the fuck he thinks he's doing isn't all that extreme.
@gentle: pan doesn't strictly fall in xeno bad, but he's seen the effects of this particular artifact firsthand so he's understandibly wary
((Bit of a belated reply, but i had shit that needed doing.))
He said he'd take responsibilty as the leader of the mission yes, but did he ever say he acknowledged your right to judge him?
And for some people access to xeno fuckery is the entire reason they play, so barring them from it is way more that a slap on the wrist.
How would you like it if i came along and told you that you couldnt have any magic tech and you had to return your id manifestor and white mask? you'd tell me to go fuck myself and play with them anyway.
He trusted you to do the reasonable thing and dock his pay or fine him or something, but you tried to strip him of what made him Maurice. So he fucked your authority in the ass, nothing out of the ordinary there.
As for this being a time where we cant fuck around, thats kind of a double edged sword. If you have the time to fuck around and strip him of his rank and find a replacement, he has time to fuck around defending his position and access to xeno fuckery.
As for pulling out the magic stone being a threatening act, if you go back and read his speech he goes on to explain why he pulled it out. he pulled it out not to threaten you, but to explain what it was and why he needed to keep his access to heph and xeno fuckery.
Because he wants to use it to make a weapon against the lurker, he cant do that if he's barred from experimenting with xeno fuckery.
So all in all im 100% on his side in this, he never once threatened anything but your authority.
edit:
so just to be clear, my problem isnt that you said he made a power grab, he most definitely did that as his means of keeping space magic.
its that he made it explicitly clear he wasnt going to, and never intended to, threaten anything with the timmy orb. to which your immediate response was to claim that he was threatening you with the timmy orb.
