This is honestly a very situational thing, and neither of them has supreme command over the other, But regarding the Sec team the HOS has absolute command over them and is responsible for dishing out their orders regardless of what the Captain says. In situations like executions, on most servers at least, the Captain needs the approval of centcomm for it, technically speaking.
The HOS is also the person who's supposed to override the Captain if they feel they're overstepping their bounds, being a nuisance, or worse, outright traitorous, And should probably be required to ask centcomm for permission to arrest the captain.
The HOS job itself is something outside the standard chain of command, while they do take orders from the captain most of the time, they're also the people with the authority to actually arrest the captain and demote them with proper approval.
Basically, This thread is a shitshow, When in doubt, ask Centcomm.
