NTRep!Suri's Command Suitability Assessment

[TrixxedHeart]

It's just another day, you're in your department, handling your job. When the Nanotrasen Representative walks in, Surichichimo. You anticipate some kind of berating for some mild mistake, but instead, he simply hands you a form without a word. You glance down... It's a Command Suitability Assessment form. By the time you look up to ask what this is about, he's already halfway out the door, pausing only to say, "Fill it out. Honesty is noted. Attempts to be clever are noted too. Fill it out and fax it to the offices within two days."

Then he's gone, and you're left looking over the form, wondering what exactly you did to end up on his radar...

This is a form I like to hand to people in-game as an exercise in writing as their character and really think about it. However, rounds are hectic, and you don't often get the time to really think about it. This is meant to be another way to participate! I'll also be creating "notated" ones in-character as Surichichimo to some as a fun addition in how he sees your character. Copy the below template and write a reply!

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:

The CC employees were tormenting me for no reason and I put one of their lighters in a disposal unit after they gave me it.

Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:

Usually most time I do paperwork I worry if I’m messing up or doing something wrong and I have to ask command or captain if I’m doing it right.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?

If it’s a threat to the station I focus on it more. Most of the time(?) I don’t really know i just do whatever I want to do the most first unless I’m breaking SoP or some law.

Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?

There is a lot of things I don’t really remember. Ask someone else

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?

Extremely annyoing and warranting of being fired or some other punishment that doesn’t matter. It’s annoying and I don’t like it and it ruins my day.

Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?

Very VERY nice and validating and i’d appreciate if more people DID do that because it’s good and appreciated. I’m a good HoP and people should acknowledge it.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?

Do I have big list of other priorities or bigger priorities in general.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:

Yes, Space law and SOP stop me most of the time. There is still decisions I make on impulse or because of other annoying shit.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?

I don’t know? How do I know I’m pretty good now

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:

Buying my niece a car I know she wants, despite her insisting she does not need it. A second car is always useful. What if the first one needs to go in for repairs?

Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:

Agreeing to fill out this assessment. I do not want to give anyone the impression that I am open to ever working in a stationside command position. Nor do I think my ability to command should even be in question as a CCO.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?

Convenience. I choose based on what choice will cause me the least annoyance.
And before you psychoanalyse me and somehow turn this into me acting based on personal preference rather than company interest, do keep in mind that I am not a moron. Obviously what is to the detriment of NanoTrasen is also going to be to the detriment of myself and my ability to clock out early in order to have lunch at the resort.

Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?

Obviously. Any personal information about myself for example. I am here to do a job of overseeing multiple stations. I do not need or want to make friends with those hooligans the workers.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?

A detective faxed upset about my recommendation to the Head of Security to buy some pizza in order to placate said detective and lawyers. If I remember correctly, they were upset about execution orders I had approved. I felt annoyance towards the Head of Security on the basis of a) not properly securing correspondance, and b) allowing this detective to go against company interests to the point they had to be relieved of their position is security. They were clearly a good detective if they got a hold of my faxes to begin with. Waste of a good asset.

Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?

I do not understand what answer you are expecting here. That is how things should be, so I would not think much of it. I could describe for you an arbitrary example, but I do not see how it would be useful, so I will spare us both the effort.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?

To similar to question #3. Disregarded.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:

After work I sometimes get tempted to cancel my PT coming by, in order to just relax on the balcony with a nice cosmopolitan. But dying of cardiovascular complications is for the weak and the poor. I am not a quitter, so I will stick to the routine.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?

One that is trusted enough to not have to do any more "sensitivity training" bullshit due to trivial complaints from stationside crew. A reliable and consistent one.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

Again, too similar to a previous question. Clearly the kind of leader I want to be, and the kind the company needs me to be is one and the same. This questionnaire could use some work. Start by making the word "expectations" at the top of the sheet the same size as the rest of the sentence.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:

Instead of speaking to a command member, I instead decided to talk to a silicon on the Station. It's not often we get the perspective of them, so I figured it would be good to talk to someone who may not often be heard.

Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:

I do not have a response for this at the moment.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?

How it will help others, usually. When I'm doing something I want it to matter, even if only a little bit. The crew come first in most scenarios.

Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?

Sometimes, when I interview others, I'm asked to keep things between us. When someone wants to stay anonymous I take it to heart. I know a lot can happen between shifts. I would never want someone to get hurt because I leaked their name out into the public, despite their wishes.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?

Frustrating. Whenever I work for Security, it happens a lot. People don't like to be told what to do, especially when they feel like they're in the right. I never let my frustrations out on others, though. It's not, and will never be the correct action. But, it's like an ache in my brain that squeezes my eyes.

Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?

Good. I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about. I'd like to believe I stand by what's right. If someone agrees with me, for whatever reasons they may have, I'm happy to have the support. Caution should be executed though, right? You never really know if someone's agreeing with you just to gain something from it themselves.
It's like a wag to your tail that you can't stop!

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?

Loyalty. I want to make actions that make people believe in me. I don't work in Command positions very often, but when I do I want it to matter. When a shift ends I want people to speak of me fondly, or with guidance on how I could do better. Being OPEN to sharing guidance, without feeling as if they're doing something wrong by giving input. To be relieved if they see my name on the manifest, knowing they're in good hands.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:

I want to help more. I want to be on a team that strives to assist and care. But I'm usually working with Civilian jobs. Those are still important, but they're not Command. Does that make sense?

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?

As stated before, one people can look up to. One that is on their level, has seen what they've seen, done what they've done. A leader that a Crew can call on and have a quick response, or know they'll be seen sooner rather than later.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

Reliable. Dependable. A good asset to a shift, and not a liability. One that reflects well on them, and is able to keep moving forward even in the worst of scenarios. Though, that's just what I think.

SUBJECT: ELLIOTT PAROLL - HEAD OF PERSONNEL

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Subject Paroll occupies a command position for which they display no measurable aptitude. Their responses reveal emotional impulsivity, absence of strategic thinking, and a complete misunderstanding of what leadership requires. This assessment outlines critical deficiencies that render the subject unsuitable for their current role.

EMOTIONAL COMPOSURE

The CC employees were tormenting me for no reason and I put one of their lighters in a disposal unit after they gave me it.

Destruction of property, no less that of a Central Command VIP as a response to feeling "tormented" is not leadership, it is a tantrum. A Head of Personnel must maintain professional composure even under provocation. The subject views their emotional outburst as justified rather than recognizing it as a failure of impulse control. This is unacceptable for any command position.

DECISION-MAKING FRAMEWORK

Most of the time(?) I don't really know i just do whatever I want to do the most first unless I'm breaking SoP or some law.

This is not a command philosophy. This is a child describing how they choose which game to play. Command positions require prioritization based on operational necessity, not personal whim. The subject acknowledges this gap but frames it as external constraints preventing them from acting on impulse, rather than recognizing that impulse control is a basic requirement of the position.

RESPONSE TO AUTHORITY CHALLENGES

Extremely annyoing [sic] and warranting of being fired or some other punishment that doesn't matter.

The subject craves unquestioning validation. They view challenges to their authority as deserving punishment. A confident leader welcomes appropriate challenge, a fragile one resents it. The subject falls firmly into the latter category. Their ideal work environment appears to be one where no one questions them, an environment that does not exist in command. Such behavior could lead employee assets towards Syndicate propaganda.

CORPORATE ALIGNMENT

I don't really know they didn't tell me.

This single response is perhaps the most telling. The subject does not understand the purpose of their position. They have not inferred, deduced, or sought to understand what the corporation requires from them. They wait to be told. The corporation does not exist to tell you your purpose. Your purpose is to serve the corporation. The subject has this fundamentally backwards.

FINAL NOTE

Give me a pay rise I'll never consider questioning Nanotrasen

Either a poorly executed joke or an admission that loyalty is purchasable. Neither reflects well on command material. Loyalty is expected regardless of compensation. The subject appears to view it as a transaction.

FINAL ASSESSMENT
UNSUITABLE FOR COMMAND

Subject Elliott Paroll is not suitable for their current position. Findings:

• Emotional regulation: Inadequate. Destroys property when annoyed.

• Decision-making: Self-centered. No operational framework.

• Response to challenge: Hostile. Seeks to punish challengers.

• Corporate understanding: Absent. Waits to be told their purpose.

• Loyalty: Transactional. Framed as purchasable.

Subject should be removed from Head of Personnel and reassigned to a role with minimal responsibility and close supervision. Continued placement in command poses a risk to station operations and crew morale. Mandatory leadership training required before any future command consideration.

SUBJECT: HANNA NASH - CENTRAL COMMAND OFFICIAL

PRELIMINARY NOTE

This assessment is submitted with the utmost respect for CCO Nash's position and authority. Any observations made herein are offered in the spirit of corporate compliance and should not be interpreted as anything other than dutiful record-keeping. Ms. Nash's service to Nanotrasen is, of course, beyond reproach. This office exists to serve, not to question, those who hold higher station.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ms. Nash's responses reflect precisely the caliber of thinking expected from someone at her level. The clarity, confidence, and appropriate prioritization of personal convenience as aligned with corporate interest demonstrate why she holds her position. This assessment finds no concerns, only confirmation of her suitability.

DECISION-MAKING

I choose based on what choice will cause me the least annoyance. And before you psychoanalyse me and somehow turn this into me acting based on personal preference rather than company interest, do keep in mind that I am not a moron. Obviously what is to the detriment of NanoTrasen is also going to be to the detriment of myself.

A refreshingly honest assessment. Ms. Nash recognizes that her comfort and corporate interest are aligned. This is efficient thinking. A Central Command Official's comfort and corporate interest are naturally aligned; any other arrangement would be inefficient.

The additional commentary regarding psychoanalysis is noted and appreciated. Ms. Nash need not worry about misinterpretation from this office.

ON PERSONNEL RELATIONS

I do not need or want to make friends with those hooligans the workers.

A correct assessment of appropriate command distance. Stationside personnel are assets to be managed, not peers to be befriended. Ms. Nash's crossed-out text demonstrates a commitment to professional presentation that this office deeply appreciates. Ms. Nash's standards are, as expected, exemplary.

RESPONSE TO AUTHORITY CHALLENGES

Ms. Nash's account reveals appropriate concern for operational security and proper prioritization of corporate assets. Her frustration regarding compromised correspondence is understandable; security breaches at any level are concerning. Her recognition that the detective was "clearly a good" asset worth retaining shows proper appreciation for talent regardless of insubordination. A nuanced and correct approach.

ON THE ASSESSMENT FORM ITSELF

Ms. Nash's observations regarding question redundancy and formatting inconsistencies have been received with gratitude. The Compliance Division appreciates feedback from our superiors and will review our forms accordingly. Her attention to detail, even in matters beneath her station, is noted with respect.

FINAL ASSESSMENT
EXEMPLARY - NO CONCERNS

CCO Hanna Nash is, as expected, fully suitable for her position. The Compliance Division has no observations, no recommendations, and certainly no criticisms. Ms. Nash's service to NanoTrasen is valued and respected.

This assessment is filed with the understanding that Ms. Hanna Nash's time is valuable and this document will not inconvenience them further. Should any aspect of this review require clarification, this office is, of course, at CCO Nash's disposal.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SUBJECT: REJOICE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Subject Rejoice presents as an individual whose values are fundamentally misaligned with command priorities. Their responses consistently prioritize crew sentiment, emotional validation, and personal likeability over operational efficiency and corporate objectives. While these traits may make them a pleasant coworker, they do not constitute a framework for effective leadership.

CORPORATE ALIGNMENT

How it will help others, usually. When I'm doing something I want it to matter, even if only a little bit. The crew come first in most scenarios.

This statement encapsulates the core issue. The crew does not come first. Corporate objectives come first. A functional crew serves corporate objectives. The subject has this order reversed. Command positions exist to align personnel with company goals, not to prioritize crew comfort over operational necessity.

ON DECISION-MAKING

The subject's decision-making framework centers on how choices will "help others" and "matter." These are subjective metrics that cannot be measured against corporate key performance indicators. Command decisions should be guided by operational requirements, resource optimization, and alignment with broader company strategy, not by whether they make personnel feel valued.

ON INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

When someone wants to stay anonymous I take it to heart. I would never want someone to get hurt because I leaked their name.

The subject's approach to confidential information is noted. However, their framing centers on personal loyalty rather than corporate protocol. Information is managed according to policy, not emotional investment in individual personnel. The subject's emphasis on "taking it to heart" suggests a personalization of professional obligations that could compromise objective judgment.

ON AUTHORITY AND CHALLENGE

The subject describes challenges to authority as an "ache in my brain that squeezes my eyes" an illustrative visceral response. While they claim not to externalize this frustration, the internal experience suggests someone for whom command is a source of personal distress rather than professional function. This is not sustainable.

ON LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

When a shift ends I want people to speak of me fondly.

This is not a command objective. Being spoken of fondly does not advance corporate interests. Being effective does. The subject's focus on personal reputation and likeability indicates they view command as a social role rather than a functional one.

To be relieved if they see my name on the manifest, knowing they're in good hands.

Crew should feel confident in command because protocols are followed and objectives are met. The subject is building dependency on personality rather than systems. This is inefficient and creates single points of failure.

The subject's vision of leadership...being "on their level," relatable, accessible...is fundamentally incompatible with command structure. Leaders are not on the crew's level. They exist above it, by definition. The desire to be seen as an equal undermines the authority necessary to make unpopular but necessary decisions.

FINAL ASSESSMENT
UNSUITABLE FOR COMMAND

Subject Rejoice demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what command requires. Their framework prioritizes:

• Crew sentiment over corporate objectives

• Personal likeability over operational effectiveness

• Emotional investment over professional detachment

• Individual relationships over systemic protocols

These are incompatibilities with the function of command. The subject may be a valuable civilian employee, particularly in roles requiring interpersonal engagement. They should not, however, be placed in positions requiring authoritative decision-making that may conflict with crew approval.

Recommendation: Subject is unsuitable for command positions. Continue in civilian roles where their emphasis on interpersonal relationships can be utilized without compromising operational authority. Should the subject pursue command in the future, a significant reorientation of their leadership philosophy would be required.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SUBJECT: Lydia Lowe

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Subject Lowe presents a conflicted profile. Their responses indicate someone who understands the functional requirements of command: threat assessment, information control, security prioritization, while simultaneously harboring emotional frameworks that actively undermine command effectiveness. The gap between what they do and what they feel is significant and concerning.

CORPORATE ALIGNMENT

The lives and feelings of other people do [guide my choices].

This is the central misalignment. "Feelings" should not guide command decisions. Operational requirements should. The subject's emphasis on emotional considerations suggests they view their role through a humanitarian lens rather than a corporate one. While protecting lives is a secondary objective of station security, it is not the primary objective, maintaining corporate operations is.

ON INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

I told my engineers not to worry. I did this to help prevent corporate secrets leaks since the situation was already delicate.

This response demonstrates correct understanding of information security. The subject prioritized corporate confidentiality while effectively managing crew anxiety. This is appropriate.

ON AUTHORITY AND CHALLENGE

I felt guilty. People shouldn't just blindly follow command members, especially as security.

This response reveals a fundamental discomfort with authority. The subject feels guilty when their orders are followed without question. This is not sustainable in command. Security personnel should follow orders, that is literally their function. The subject's guilt suggests they do not fully accept the authority their position grants them.

ON DECISION-MAKING

The subject "questions almost every decision" they make. While some self-reflection is appropriate, this level of doubt indicates someone who lacks confidence in their own judgment. Command requires the ability to make decisions and move forward. Constant self-questioning leads to paralysis or, worse, reveals hesitation to those who should be following.

ON THE GAP

I have to be a bit more aggresive so people do actually listen.

The subject recognizes that their natural inclination is insufficient for command. They have adapted by adopting a more aggressive demeanor. This is pragmatic. However, the framing suggests this adaptation is performative rather than integrated. They are acting aggressive, not being authoritative. This can work, but it requires maintenance and may crack under pressure.

ON LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

I hope to be a leader that people look up to, that puts others before themself.

A leader that rules strictly and demanding.

These two statements reveal the subject's nuanced understanding of command. They recognize that effective leadership requires both compassion and authority, that these are not opposites but complementary tools. The ability to hold both visions simultaneously, applying each as circumstances demand, is precisely what makes a leader effective. The subject must learn to navigate this tension. Their awareness of both aspects suggests they are equipped to do so.

FINAL ASSESSMENT
CONDITIONALLY SUITABLE

Subject Lowe demonstrates adequate functional competence in command tasks, threat assessment, security coordination, information control. Their practical actions (guarding key locations, managing information leaks) are appropriate. However, their emotional framework is misaligned with command requirements.

• Strengths: Recognizes operational priorities, maintains information security, adapts behavior to command needs

• Concerns: Questions all decisions, feels guilt when obeyed, prioritizes feelings, unresolved internal conflict

These are incompatibilities with the function of command. The subject may be a valuable civilian employee, particularly in roles requiring interpersonal engagement. They should not, however, be placed in positions requiring authoritative decision-making that may conflict with crew approval.

Recommendation: Subject may continue in command positions but would benefit from additional training focused on authority acceptance and decision-making confidence. The gap between their feelings and their actions is manageable but should be monitored. If the subject's guilt over exercising authority intensifies, reassignment should be considered.
