[quote=@Rawk] Considering no one wants an unidentified Cyborg running around loose, Irons is going to be supervised, trailed, and put into temporary quarters until, 1.) Her ID/records are logged in the ship's system 2.) Her psyche eval has been green-lighted. The D/P confidentiality is fine, but obviously they need to know that Iron's isn't going to suddenly become a psychopathic killer at her first chance. Legalities aside, there needs to be some common sense factored into this as well. [/quote] I have no problems with your two points. As I discussed with [@Peaceless] there is nothing preventing further investigation, only that this investigation has resulted in an impasse, and no further legal action can be taken based on the events that brought the character into custody. Anything that happens after her release is all up to you guys, and I prefaced that with the understanding that there would likely be consequences down the road based off of the understanding that she's not "getting away with anything" but rather this investigation was a bust (due to mismanagement). This happens all the time in the real world of criminal justice. I prefer to think of it as... building dramatic tension for a long-running player-driven story arc. The stage has been set, and the conflict established complete with complications that have arisen. I'm actually pretty concerned that this is something I feel needs explaining to an advanced RP group. Over the last few days it feels like I'm the only one who sees "colabs" as collaborative authorship of our interactive and ongoing story. The colabs I've been in so far have very much been a "you do your part, I'll do my part" affair. If I wanted that kind of interaction I could just go to short roleplay and have a back-and-forth short posting session. I was actually [i]really[/i] insulted when Sep said we needed to just get this shit resolved so we could get back to the "actual story", and it made me question if he even knew what the word meant. All of the drama surrounding this player-driven story-arc is exactly the reason why I've been avoiding this site, this group, in the last couple days and throwing myself into my studies. When someone says they're just going to do whatever the fuck they please and fuck anyone who says otherwise, then that's it. The game is over. There's no point in collaborating with that person, and that person happens to be this games fucking GM.
