Your side of the story: I had a particularly irritating shift as a Captain, and I made a mistake. A researcher on the station took the Hand teleporter I offered him for R&D, and used it to spamfuck around the station, letting people through to the Captains office and the HoP area. He was punished lightly originally, I didn't have him arrested, I just disciplined him with the chain and took back the hand tele. He responded by spam disarming me after I let him go. Next thing I know he's asking to be borged in Science to be renamed CAPTAIN COMDOM, and then he went off to toxins, where I attempted to later search him to make sure he wasn't the one producing bombs. Since I had already wasted my stuns chasing his ass, I used my laser like a moron to get him to stop moving around and let me check him. He didn't, so I shot him down, and took him to genetics before searching him. I was banned before I could say anything to the admin who banned me in my defense.

Why you think you should be unbanned: I know what I did wrong. I have played a hundred or so rounds as station heads without any troubles before. It wasn't smart to kill a guy, but I didn't want to risk bombs going off with this louse. I didn't do so thinking it rational, and I've never had any issues as any other role on the station before. Captain at the time was medium priority, and I guess that night I wasn't in the mood to put up with it, and that's my fault. Given an opportunity I am sure I can responsibly continue to play head roles, if that isn't enough, at least give me other head positions and keep Captain banned, as I have a perfectly fine track record as station heads.

The only real issue i have is how you went about it. Sure he was being an annoyance, but that doesn't call for summary execution.

As for being out of options, well, when I picked up on this chase you were shooting lethals at him through the windows into a main hallway. He got to escape and hid in a locker while you were speaking with the AI there about "dealing with his shit" or something similar (rather amusing in retrospect.) You left and ran into the scientist again in RnD, stunning him in the airlock before shooting him full of enough lasers to kill someone twice-over. I'm certain you could have handled it nonlethally and you definitely had the capacity.

All that said it's only a three day ban. It'll be over before you know it.

If I was to execute him, I wouldn't have promptly taken him to Genetics following. He'd also come from around Toxins, at least below the RD's office, not R&D. And lastly, I wasn't using an e-gun, it was actually the Caps laser, as that was all I had on me to deal with him, and I couldn't stun or Cuff. I'd asked Sec to check him out before, but they didn't respond.

I didn't particularly want to laser him to death, but it happened. I figured i'd rather be wrong than let a guy with bombs out. I was wrong.
