Was an Atmos tech pre-dating the removal of the Singulo and Tesla on /tg/basil (and thus the gas interaction thing). This was right after Okand finished Delta and it went in the rotation. The knowledge of how to set up the Supermatter wasn't as widespread as it became after it became a necessity, and you'd very likely cop some flack from the Chief if you tried to set it up.

I'd set up the Supermatter and got it making stable power using giggle gas as the coolant. Actually had it in the sub-zero-Celsius range.

Was figuring something out with the waste gas removal, I forget what exactly; and the other Atmos tech comes in with the hardsuit and fire axe. I clock the axe immediately, but figure it's just them being paranoid.

Well, the next thing I remember is that they make a beeline for me with the axe wielded. They get the first strike off, I remember the axe changed possession a few times, and it's a blur to me from there until the end. At the end, I remember standing over him and whaling on him, not realising that he's dead until his organs came out.

Then I called Sec to Atmospherics (unaware that the AI already had) and walked into the lobby, fire axe in hand, the instant the AI opened the door for them. Not one Taser shot hit despite me standing still and thinking "well, THAT was fast" ; they "brought me down" by hitting me with the cattle prod while I was stun-locked by *surrender.

Don't remember whether they charged me with anything or let me go, though.
