Incident Description: I was the warden that round, Taurus "Orion" Kuiper. I was in the open area in front of the HOS office where the autolathe is for some mats to build a barrier at the Brig doors, when I see a slightly differently dressed (but still standard sec gear) dressed Sec officer walk in. I examine him, see a PDA, or ID or something saying "Security Officer". All of a sudden, he opens up the highly secure doors to the HOS's stuff. This is literal trespassing, so I tell him he can't be in there. He claims to have been promoted to acting hos, never said by whom the entire round, and that he was "securing the HOS stuff". I tell him to leave and he reiterates that "he has access" and that he "was promoted". There are several problems with this, and I point out that "access does not imply authority", but he barges into the HOS's bedroom and starts yanking stuff like it's Christmas. First of all, you can't promote someone to HOS when the warden exists. That's like the RD declaring someone as Cap without telling the HOP and acting like it's fine. Second, as Warden, I outrank everyone in the sec team besides the HOS himself. He directly ignores my order, and instead of saying "captains orders" or asking whoever promoted him to say it's fine on the radio, he just calls me a retard and starts stealing highly secure equipment.
At this point I try to arrest him, and successfully cuff him, but instead of sitting still and waiting for everything to work out (because we’re literally on the same team) he calls me a retard again, breaks out of the cuffs, and stun/cuffs me instead. This is when the real HOS arrived to the station. Does he put what he has taken back? Does he stop stealing? No, he fully gears up in HOS gear when the actual HOS didn’t respond. While dragging me to a cell, he literally picks up a box of donuts and throws it at me like a ̶t̶o̶d̶d̶l̶e̶r̶ mentally stable leader.
Eventually the HOS physically makes it to the brig. He frees me and appeases the guy by letting him go explore space, then tells me I did a good job. Because it’s in text I wasn’t sure if he was being sarcastic so I asked him if he was fine with Zake taking all of his gear, to which the HOS replied, “no,” and called Zane Blake insane. (Something about some people existing in this world that have deluded themselves that they are the good guys, idk, but he did directly call Zane insane).

OOC: Hassanira: I remembered donut station and got ptsd
Taurus ‘Orion’ Kuiper says, “Of course.”
At this point, with the HOS’s implied approval (literally saying he doesn’t like Zane taking his stuff and that we’ll get him at some point) I go and set Zane to arrest, and detail his crimes. Theft of full and secure hos gear, and ignoring a direct order from a superior. Immediately he starts whining about it in the chat, and complaining to the point that the Captain has to tell him to stop (which he ignores). Being Sec, he unsets himself from arrest, and when I set him to arrest again, he literally deletes his own security record.
The captain tells me to take him off arrest, which is when I discover that he deleted his own record, and tells the hos that he can’t arrest Zane. Eventually he gives the real HOS his stuff back, only after the cap ordered him to (which I did not notice at the time), I disadvise the hos meet with him (to which I get called autist again), after which I do not see him again until the Nukies arrived.
Now, Zane was the first I’d heard about the nukies, so I immediately distrusted that there were actually any nukies on board. The armory was open to the locker rooms (I think he had ordered the AI to do it) and so I was dealing with regular sec just loading up on lethal gear without a threat (that I knew about, because watch armory and watch brig are the literal only 2 things I’m supposed to do as Warden). So you know how only the HOS, Cap, and Warden have access to the armory? Turns out Zane kept his fun card instead of getting it back to a regular sec card, and id opened all the doors to the armory, thus breaking in. I try to stop him myself, but he has some “strobe shield” thing that prevents me from leg sweeping him or something and he cuffs me. I try to order the other officers to stop him, but they say “He’s the HoS.”
I attempt to report his behavior to the admins, but I get told to talk to the real hos about it (which goes nowhere as the hos isn’t at the brig and talking over the comms is doing nothing) and eventually try to get the officers to return their lethal gear saying, “Please return to sec and give back your riot gear and lethal weapons. there is so far no proof of nukies.” at which point I realize there are nukies due to a bunch of unrelated (to zane) nukie sightings. The reason I was so hesitant is mixing sec with lethals is hardly ever a good idea, and there are always people shouting “THIS OR THAT GUY IS A LING” or “WE GOT REVS” etc over the chat, and I assumed Zane was doing this to get more power and get some weapons. It turns out I was wrong in this case.
I try to explain over comms to the rest of the crew what Zane is doing, but the captain tells me to shut up, so I stop talking about it. After that, nt much happened between us until the emergency shuttle. The second that the shuttle launched, one of the sec officers got up, and shot me with her armory looted combat shotgun saying, “Warden is a syndicate spy!” “Warden is a spy because they tried to kill the REAL HoS!”. They and another sec (not actually Zane this time) proceeded to beat me with their batons and cuffed me to the evac shuttle chair.
If anyone wants the actual logs I copied them to a notes file. Feel free to ask me about specific parts and I will copy the log for you.
Additional Information (AKA why this guy needs to be looked at by the admins): EXTREMELY unprofessional behavior. He called me "Retard" or "Autist" 11 separate times over the course of the shift, and railed the other sec officers against me to use lethals on the escape shuttle before round end. When faced with an IC problem, instead of handling it with calm civility, literally started throwing things and used middle school insults like a baby throwing a tantrum. At one point he *literally deleted his own records from the manifest*, thus abusing his power. This guy does not need to be in ANY position of power, let alone sec, because he is far too immature, far too spiteful, and far too inflexible to handle any sort of problem with any degree of sensitivity.
This also happens to be the guy who lead sec into that massive war between the AI and the Sec department that one time where he and others destroyed borgs for trying to make sure there was no harm and he mutinied against the captain
Edit:
I think I need to clear up a couple things real quick: I know from personal experience that Sec officers can still be an antag role, Devil, which is a large part of why I was so resistant to him getting those high security items. I also did not realize that the warden has no authority over the other sec members outside of what happens in the brig/armory itself, which is why I assumed I could give him and them orders. As I don’t play the heads of staff without having at least a fairly firm grasp over what goes on in my department (hence why I was playing warden even though I have over a hundred ours on beestation alone) I didn’t realize that the HOS items even needed to be secured. I hope that goes to explain my point of view a bit better, and why it’s necessary for there to be cool-headed people in these roles that aren’t quick to throw things, arrest and discredit whoever they disagree with.
Edit 2: I finally tracked down the round ID
