As the XO that round, I feel it useful to put my 2 cents in, despite the info I have to put in being stated before. The round started and I was greeted to Wellick wearing the pajamas, which I didn’t really think much about it. I played a round before as an SO where a commander had worn Pajamas all round, and yes I see how it can be low RP, but it made for a laugh listening to a marine get chewed out for commenting on the comanders attire. Either way though, I hadn’t thought anything of it and let it slide. It may make for low RP, but it was funny to see, and it’s not like i’m to enforce Marine law. The round then continued normally up until after briefing, where upon dismissing the marines the CMP had flashed us without warning, that being Wellick, myself, the CL, and an SO if i’m not mistaken. The CMP detained Wellick, and I was informed through comms later why she was detained. It was upsetting that it all had occurred,
However I was willing to try my best and run the operation from there, and it seemed Wellick was fine with leading from her cell.
I’m not sure what happened from her perspective, or anyone elses but not too long after briefing, Wellick had asked me to head to the brig and so I did. The MPs were telling me she threatened to space the CMP for touching Jones and so she was brigged for another 15 minutes, but even they agreed it was an offhand remark and not one to be taken seriously. Either way though, This is when she hit the MP with the baton and escaped, locking herself in the CIC for a good portion of the match. I was locked outside, and upon asking if I could gain entry, I was never given a response. I just assumed she wouldn’t let me in in case the CMP was there waiting for her to open the doors for me, only then to detain her or whatnot, and when asked why I was outside, this was the response I gave. I wasn’t mad
Per se at the events that transpired before hand, but What did make me upset was the fact that till this point,
We were unable to actually lead the Operation and in essence play the game due to the CMP. I wanted nothing more then to command and lead marines, you know, do my job as XO, but with being down in the brig trying to talk things out, and being locked out of the CIC, I was unable to do so for all of the game up until we were boarded by the Xenos and bum rushed. Eventually the CIC was unlocked, and Things
Seemed resolved, but around the same time the Aliens had taken over the dropship and were heading our way, as I was talking to Wellick, without warning we were flashed not once,
Not twice, not thrice, but four times. I would be fine with this, if it weren’t happening while we were being boarded,
But sure enough that’s when this all occurred. By the time I was unflashed, Xenos were in the hallway leading to CIC, Marines were dying and many individuals were bludgeoning the CMP. He wasn’t just thrown to the wayside though, he was given medical treatment and all, even if he eventually did die. What I can gather from the whole situation is that the only big major issue was the fact that we were not able to lead and do our jobs as Command and lead the OP, for we were either preoccupied,
Brigged, flashed, or locked out of the CIC the whole time. It’s not something I think is punishable any further,
For what’s done is done, but it was a bummer since as XO I want to do my best to keep the marines alive during the OP. That’s my input though. Eventually afterwards we all died, the Aliens laughed at us and the next few rounds marines kept finding ways to poke fun at how much of a meme that round was. Anyways though, I hope my perspesctice at least shed some light on the situation and the problems that occurred that round. I can see where that round could’ve been a bummer, and annoying, but I don’t think Wellick should be punished for the actions that occurred that round. Out of the few times i’ve played XO for Wellick, that was the only time anything bad had happened,
And I don’t think she meant any harm when she put on the pajamas, nor when she made the remark about spacing the CMP
It really just seems like a series of unfortunate events that packed onto one another and made one round go faster then
Normal, but nothing too big to really punish anyone for. This is just my take on the situation though and I hope me rambling may have given more insight on the sticky situation at hand
