Yeah, I had to stop reading this thread halfway through because I was getting frustrated. A lot of what I was hearing boiled down to this:
I know the Captain has authority over all of the crew but [insert personal reasons for going against it, which completely ignore the beginning of this sentence].
Captain has the highest authority. The AI's chain of command writeup settles this in the first line.
It's the job of the HoS to enforce security on the station/ship. So, if the Captain is being traitorous, feel free to arrest him.
The only thing worthy of discussion is whether the HoS should arrest a traitor captain or to blindly follow orders and rain hellfire down on the crew. To which I say, do whichever pleases you in that situation.
I think this argument is really about an entirely different issue, that being: "When is it okay to ignore orders from a superior?"
