Flickering lights... Blood on the floors... Screams of agony, torture, and death... And through it all, that mocking, synthetic voice. Is this hell?
Basis: the crew awakes in a certain area of the station, stripped down to their jumpsuits. No IDs, no tools, no way out. They are bolted in to this area (let's say the Eastern half of the station). Soon after the crewmen awake, a calm, synthetic voice informs them that they are trapped, that help is not coming, and that it will only grant the gift of life to one crewmember. Around the area are scattered boxes full of odds and ends with which a more handy person could construct traps, and there are even a few that contain weapons such as pickaxes and hatchets. The crew is given one goal: be the last man standing.
While I know that this sounds like a murderfest from the get-go, hear me out: when RPed correctly, it evolves in to a harrowing, tense narrative of shaky alliances, betrayal, death, life and freedom. It'd be hardcore. Do it.

I don't like the Battle Royal like events because, yeah... just ends up murder fest. It causes people to act out of character and I'd rather not get involved or play if such events happened, in my opinion.

Because everyone totally role-plays fear when getting axed to death.

I think many of the -1'ers are misunderstanding Far's point. It isn't a slaughterfest, we're not looking at some sort of Hunger Games parody within the SS13 universe. My personal take on the situation is something to the sort of the Lord of the Flies.
Before you read what I feel would be the events for the event, please note that I modified Far's event by a few details: the crew is split in half, and they spawn on the eastern front and western front of the station. Some doors are bolted, as he mentioned, but the power is dead throughout the entire station. And rather than the goal being the last person surviving, it would be the last front.
The crew would wake up and wonder what they were doing, stripped in their jumpsuits. They start asking the synthetic voice and their peers for questions. In my version, half the crew spawns on the eastern front and the other half spawns on the western front. They slowly realize that there wouldn't be any ERT to save them and they need to comply with the synthetic voice. However, the synthetic voice is ambiguous. It doesn't tell them whether the path (actions, not literal path) they choose. They eventually find themselves in the center, in or around the Bridge. The two sides wonder to themselves how they would be able to rescue themselves before a realization spreads through the crew: there is no rescue, there is only compliance.
Two crew-members, known as the AI-enforcers, pull out weaponry during the confrontation and begin a fire-fight. Both sides disperse to where they originally where.
And then, the fun begins.

Robotik, that's a much better variation of my idea. Thanks for contributing!

My thoughts about the suggestion were more or less of this nature. I wouldn't think it would be a mass griefing scenario, but a scenario where the characters start to come to the realization that the other side may actually be complying with the synthetic voice and out to get them (sparked by the AI-enforcers that Robotik mentioned).

Exactly! It's all about Lord of the Flies style dehumanization, paranoia, and claustrophobia. AM style mindgames of death and despair.
Being fucked over by an AI, pretty much. HORROR TO THE EXTREME!
