Wait, is Maurice planning on using the orb to destroy the Lurker? He thinks, after totally failing to do absolutely anything at all to the Lurker the first time, that the best idea is obviously to try and use an equally dangerous power source to fight a literal god.
Wasn't timmy caused by an manipulator overload in the first place? Wouldn't that make it easy for the Lurker to mess with it?

i think you might be thinking of either stan or grate.
Stan was fought by someone who overloaded their manipulator, and grate exploded when he ate a metamorphosis pill created from a manipulator battery.

timmy i think just used his orb one tiome too many and it did unspeakable things to him as a result.

Ah, alright.

Would Auron accept delayed payment for cutting the shock implant out with the med spider?

Auron would accept delayed payment for a lot of things, this is indeed one of them.

[Yoink]

Auron will have to start a clinic to capitalise on the sudden demand.
It's a shame Jobasio is already podded... although he's possibly not sane enough any more to grab at such an opportunity.

... Did I hear plans for revolt?

... Did I hear plans for revolt?

Yay, let's go around shooting anyone we see! Last man standing wins!

Edit: I'm searching for a good excuse to go in there, goop everyone and then lock them in their rooms until they are ready to apologize to each other and be nice to each other. Mostly because I can't stand people being idiots.

But then I think of the fun this current situation could bring and I try to chill.

Edit2: Make that "goop everyone on ship" instead. It seems it isn't contained in a single room and I have no time to discriminate. Everyone should be nice... or else!

Noted. I try to get opportunity for business after the trial.

[Nunzillor]

Oh for fucks sake, he really is insane...

If Steve doesn't explictly permit this little Hephaustian power trip, then shoot Maurice. 9 volley with Testament. Into head.

Just noticed this.  I'm curious to see if you have an interesting backup plan, Nikitian.

[Empiricist]

Could use a one-liner to accompany it. Such as:
"Hephaestus you say? Well, I believe a representative of that planet would like to speak. *nine shots*"
"I'd like to hear an administrator's testament on the matter. *nine shots* Well said."

[Parisbre56]

I'm certain Maurice's mistress will protect him.
Or maybe that goddess he's always talking about. *badum-tish*
...
The joke being the implication that he has an actual mistress.

Could use a one-liner to accompany it. Such as:
"Hephaestus you say? Well, I believe a representative of that planet would like to speak. *nine shots*"
"I'd like to hear an administrator's testament on the matter. *nine shots* Well said."

"Diplomatic immunity!"

@U_P: Also a belated reply, because I need to sleep at some point. spoilered for length.

Spoiler: response (click to show/hide)

((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.

Before I begin anything, I'd just like to point out that I didn't judge anyone. All I did was give tesimony. So my "authority" (whatever you mean by that) isn't at stake here. As for the judgement, I think here we've got some IC and OOC bleedover. IC, the judgement is law for Pan, so he doesn't have any problems with it. OOC, I have no problem with Nik trying to get out from it. And yes, I would tell you to go fuck yourself if you'd try to take away my magic tech and I completely understand what Nik is doing. But like I said, that doesn't mean that IC Pan is for giving Maurice back his toys.

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.

Like others have said, pulling a loaded gun in a room full of twitchy soldiers. Let's also not forget Pan saw firsthand what that could do, so understandibly he's wary. It's all nice and dramatic to pull that out, but that constitutes as threatening in my book. He could also just have mentioned the orb and his plans with it without holding it in his hand in the same room as we're in, even if he did then put it on the ground within arm's reach of himself. OOC I'm sure Nik has only the best of intentions, though.

Also, again with the authority, of which I never had any in this case.

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.

Perhaps the way we view how these actions played out is different, but regardless of what he said, I can't help but view this as threatening. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I'll now be taking this back into IC, since Maurice has replied.

[AoshimaMichio]

"Hephaestus you say? Well, I believe a representative of that planet would like to speak. *nine shots*"
"I'd like to hear an administrator's testament on the matter. *nine shots* Well said."

Nine is such a nice number. I'm sure you can relate.


Edit: Trial is now in full violence mode.

[Ozarck]

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?

Here ya go.

I willingly submit myself to your judgement. I held back nothing, nor did I lie, though I possibly had the means, without the implant for precise medical data feed - even if this honesty could be to my detriment. I bled, I risked my life, I did what needed to be done to achieve the mission goals and protect the lives of people under my command.

[Nikitian]

Not participating in the OOC discussion, I just wanted to drop this here since it apparently hasn't been noticed yet.

Hint: Check out Steve's recruitment pitch.

(Inb4: Yes, it is IC-available knowledge to Maurice. I expressly confirmed with PW. He had extensive clearance, and prepared laboriously for this day.)
