Klingon law - Security

[Tedra_deArr]

okay in our rolegame we got a problem, The security chief is only lagh.

Then we got 3 Q's in our arrest department.

So because they made the aj drunken, she now want to kill them. (not that it would work, but anyway). Now she and a HoD come in and want the CoS to deactivate the Forcefield, so that they can shoot them.

Must he do that (aj way higher than lagh) or is he allowed to disobey, cause the orders go against all security.

       

Wher could I find some stuff of klingon law?


oh the aj is head of the whole station, i forgot to mention that

It will help if you first clarify your terms for those who are not familiar with tlhIngan Hol or the specifics of the game. I assume that:

{lagh} -- ensign
{HoD} -- captain
CoS -- Chief of Security (?)

By "aj" do you mean {'aj}, as in "admiral"? Or is it an abbreviation for something, perhaps "adjunct _____ " or "assistant _____ "?

I would think that the security chief would be justified in refusing to follow his superiors' orders if they go against established rules and procedures. However, he would have to confront his drunken commanding officer and a captain in order to do his duty.  

I think there is no clear-cut answer to this. It is more an issue of character dynamics than the letter of the law and will all depend on the character of the security chief. Does he have what it takes to face down the aj?  Is he ready to die to do his duty?  If so, what other motivations might he have to protect his prisoners from his superiors?

yep all like this

and I meant with aj -> 'aj -> general

mfg

oh I forgot our station is like this:

'aj as head of whole station/fleet and boss of HotS
-->an ech as head of the station core (HotS) and boss of all the deparment heads like the CoS.
--->the several departments and their heads like the CoS
----->staff

something like this.

the HoD is fleet and not station, so no relation there to the CoS

I Would Hazzard to add that in General it is Easier to Get Forgivness, than Permission, Except, that in this Case We are Talking about Klingons, who Drunk or Not, Do not like to be Told No... So The Consequences of Disobeying a Direct Order Could be Deadly...

In Human Terms if a Real Airman, Marine, Sailor or Soldier Disobeys a Lawful Order they are in For it, Even if they Think it might be Wrong. And As I Recall of my own Military Service we were Told as early as basic Training that, we should Follow the Most Recent Direct Order from One of Higher Rank, And Follow it up Later As Needed, but that We Could Request "Authorization" of that Order.

Rather Klingon or Real World, I Should think that "Slowing things Down" By Being Sure of what you are Doing, to be the Best Solution... In the Case Listed Here, I Would Expect that Anyone Who was Chief of Security, Would have a Good Working Knowledge of the Expectations of their C.O. and If Unable to Deal With An Angry Drunken Officer, they Probably do not "Need" to be in Charge there. Remember, Klingons are Expected to Defend themselves...
