they think our funky blue disabler beams work like tazers. and so when you didn’t go down to (what they thought was) two tazer bolts they flipped ever so slightly.
I’ve gone through the logs and can confirm that the events mentioned did happen. That being said, there was a lot going on and from their perspective they were the only living security or command member on the station. There was definitely a reason to shoot first when someone broke into the bridge, but that doesn’t excuse setting off a welding tank or trying to chop up the clown with a fire axe. Action has been taken.
