Apparently she want's to believe her security team, she wants answers. But she also wants to keep her business contacts. Cassifin's suffering from a conflict of interest, and sadily, the stupid interest won.
That's a pretty good guess.

I can see where you're going with that Moonie, but the resolution was just kinda shoved down our throats. I mean, there's plenty of circumstantial evidence to at least hold Vinross and Cranker until there's some sort of investigation. You have to admit that just taking a quick glance and seeing that the dock crew that were butchered have the same wound patterns as the pirates would be a fairly obvious segue if you wanted it. I know that you want them to be reoccurring villains, but there are better ways of doing it. If you want to have them bust out the the brig later, that's fine. But you could at least give us the illusion that there's justice in the world.
...
So far, she hasn't shown any real interest in trying to detain Vinross and Cranker, even if they were acting in a very suspicious manner aboard a government space station. You would think that they would have at least been detained long enough to get their incident report on the situation. But no! They get to walk off free and clear because apparently Montreal cares more about future business then her crew.
I'm not so sure it's so cement-solid as you think. Plasma burns don't leave any distinguishing marks other than
burns. Any plasma weapon could leave a similar mark. With such little evidence other than the (conflicting) word of mouth between two parties, one could understand why Cassefin really didn't have much of a choice.
Once I have time to explain Vinross Yu-Cranker
properly in IC perspective, things might be clearer as to why we simply can't just hold them...and it's not just because they have business with the Cirrus Station.

Right now, whatever her reasoning is, Montreal just comes off as not careing about her crew. Which, arguably, she really doesn't. Given her actions so far, not just in this plot but in all the others so far that she's appeared, the security staff (at least) come off as a few thousand pigs to test out her crappy equipment and absorb any bullets that happen to be headed in the general direction of her precious precious scientists. The manual labourers seem to come off as just renewable resources. She didn't even spare them a glance.
...
I don't know if that's how she's actually thinking. But that's how it'll come off to Cyril at least. He was one of the ones there. Think about how she's going to look once it starts to make its way around the station via the insidious transmissions of Rumor Central.
These are all excellent views from your characters, supported by their experiences, and I want your characters to continue acting accordingly. If neither side can come to terms with each other, it's ultimately Cassefin who is out of luck. If your character would sock Cassefin in the face, like,
really punch her for her actions despite the possible repercussions (and not really knowing her reasons why in the first place), then I'd like your characters to follow through. I didn't create Cassefin to always be a joy to be around; I created her to experience good character-to-character roleplay.
Just remember your actions could have punishments attached to them. Try and, uh, keep your most
extreme actions in check. I would much rather her be well and able to continue through the plot.

There better be a cool-down episode. Claire's going to need to get drunk and laid before she calms down.
It is getting around that time, isn't it.

Yikes, though I wonder if they were not seen while they went to steal whatever they had stolen, and where did the pirates go? Did they vanish after the cannon fired? They couldn't have just teleported in at that very instant unless they had Mindy like tech. If the pirates suddenly disapeared when the power came back on then that would make the newcomers instantly guilty in most people's eyes, unless the whole thing was a staged coup.
All very good questions to be asked ICly so that people can actually utilize the information.
Where are the pirate bodies? I'm sure pirates don't have "vaporization on death" technology as well.
They're still on the floor in the docking bay, most likely being collected by the Cirrus crew for...whatever they do with dead bodies.
Cassies "I have my reasons" better be good reasons.
Guess we won't know unless she tells someone her reasons. I'm not giving everyone IC information on the OOC board. : P
