I've been thinking for a bit over whether or not I want to say anything in this...so here I am now.
I'll admit, I haven't had a lot of interactions with Zhz. Maybe like 4 or 5 total.
Unfortunately,
all of those interactions have been sour at best, with the biggest being, as Tempest has mentioned, the Pathfinder incident.
Until that point, I'd been off put by Ahz's insubordinate, slightly bloodhungry behavior, especially on the one or two expeditions I went that happened to have her...a thing I always found a bit odd since she was a roboticist but I just wrote it off. I figured that eventually she'd mellow out, especially with the whole being married thing.
She did not.
As Tempest has said, I was the IA agent the shift the Pathfinder incident went down, and frankly I was, and still am, amazed that Ahz got away with what she did. I'm fairly fucking certain a good deal of other people, myself included, would've been bwoinked and demoted hard if not outright character banned for the shit she did, not only DURING the expedition, but her behavior after it, especially with her backtalking the CD, Scree at the time, Tempest as the CMO, and the RD. I must have sent at least three different faxes regarding the situation, and I was just. Amazed at the end of it all. Amazed that Ahz had been allowed to go so far, amazed that she hadn't changed one bit in the admittedly small but spaced out time I'd known her...
But then after THAT, I figured maybe, just maybe, she'd mellow out. She'd ICly get psychiatric help, she'd calm down, she'd see that yes she did indeed make some errors. Someone would sit her down and talk to her, and that would be the end of that.
Nope.
The few times I was RD with her around, or needed her overall *at least twice I think), both times she made jabs and sly comments regarding the incident, telling me that she hadn't changed one bit and was holding a grudge against Westfire. I never really responded to those jabs because I didn't want to make things worse, but it just made me more surprised and disappointed.
And now this incident. I wasn't around during this, I had to work. But from what I know...it's pretty much nothing new from Ahz. This is the same behavior she's shown every time I've seen her: Insubordinate, unrepentant, and outright dangerous to other crew members, and not even in the expected away around here.
Edit:
Ahz did mention that to Westfire, I remember because they were in the phoron shelter during a breach. She was repairing his body as alluded to it, but it wasn't vicious or antagonistic, at the time I just wanted to talk with him about it. That situation slid by without incident, they got along in the shelter after Ahz finished repairing him. She may have been bitter but it didn't last long.
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. The problem is, I didn't
know that she was't being antagonistic and just wanted to talk. Her behavior before with the other times I've seen her suggested otherwise. It slid by because I was afraid to speak on the subject because I had no idea what would happen if I did. I've played it as West just shrugging it off and trying to get along with her anyways, but that fear is still there.
