(Bucket Boi) Karl Mannhausen PK Appeal

[Bucket Boi]

Character's name & rank: Zugleiter Karl Mannhausen

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:0:423993886

Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Major Whoreson

Explain why you were PK'd: The situation itself was this: A meeting was ongoing in the senate chambers of the party wing. As members of the Konsul-Echelon protecting the meeting, myself (the Deputy Chief of the unit) and four other guards, including the Chief, were standing outside and filtering entry for individuals coming in. Unbeknownst to me, the Science Minister walked up to the door and tried to enter, and because I did not recognize him, his name, or the badge above his head (which yes, I should have), I stopped him. He counted down from 10, and as he did, the door was opened by the Vizekonsul, who was inside. As he went inside, I made a snarky remark along the lines of how "I'm glad you know how to count", and of course, I was ordered to be detained by him and his guards. When I was detained, one of the guards of the Echelon (an enlistedman) shot the guard who detained me. I did not order this shooting, nor did I say anything that would be interpreted as such. Nevertheless, a small gunfight began, and that resulted in the deaths of the Science Minister and his guards. I was then undetained by one of the other guards, and we were all immediately ordered to the Vize Konsul's office. He then lined us up, and was about to speak with us, but then the Minister came into the room, had us all tied and ordered for death, and while I tried to reason with the Minister, he then said I was talking too much, and proceeded to shoot me in the head, killing me.

Why should you be un-PK'd?: For starters, I genuinely do not know what happened in the few seconds where the gunfight occurred. It was not my intention to have any sort of fight start, and it seems to me like an RDM situation that went IC. I knew there would be some sort of issue with my remark and I somewhat expected to be tied and given the old "you're a dumbass" treatment, but the shooting was completely uncalled for and wasn't even iniated by myself or by order of anyone else. I intended to comply with the Ministers orders and take the slap on the wrist, but it all spiraled way out of control, and I genuinely don't wish to lose this character over such an idiotic and unnecessary incident. 

Additional Information: As the Deputy of the unit, I fear this will also jeopardize its integrity greatly and that the situation surrounding my death is unjust and not entirely called for.
