I was sec when the AI alerted us to a changeling (Raymond Jardine) feeding early in the round. We quickly cornered him, captured him, and locked him in the port-a-brig.
Feeling bad that we'd already caught him 10 minutes into the round, we began discussing with the crew what to do with him, and eventually the consensus was reached to let him fight in 3v1 a deathmatch, permitting him to eat anyone he killed in battle. The disposals room was converted into a fighting ring and 3 volunteers stepped inside to fight. After unlocking the portabrig I scooted out and the AI bolted the door closed, and several spectators crowded the window to watch the grand melee.
Things got... a little out of hand. The fight was back and forth a lot, with the changeling stunning everyone briefly and shooting his detective's gun, then folks getting back up and knocking him down, and so on. Then some other folks started appearing from the disposal chute and joined in the fracas. Someone hacked the door open to rush in himself. When I left to pursue a lead on another antagonist, the changeling was holding his own against at least 5 fighters.
Maybe 10 or 15 minutes later the fighting was still going on, with people constantly breaking in to get dominated. Eventually some scientist burned down the walls leading from disposals into the chapel and the changeling got loose, poking me with a lovely bit of neurotox on his way out-- but in my book he earned that freedom.
