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

Ensuring my family lives a comfortable life. It has come with a cost, to be certain, but one that is far more than worth it.

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

Every one. There is always room for improvement.

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

SOP and threat to station assets.

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

Obviously. If it isn't relevant to their current work, then they are not informed. We've all read the CTM.

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

I will admit that it is always an annoyance, but I'm not afraid to admit when a subordinate's solution is better than mine. If not, then a short teaching moment is in order.

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

Efficient. I don't like wasting time explaining myself.

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

SOP.

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

Yes. I don't like being RD, but someone has to play the part, and I know how to do it. I'm not stupid enough to think I have a choice in the matter.

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

One that gets the job done.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

A good little drone who makes sure all the other ones play their parts.

This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:

The demotion of one of my doctors for abandoning their post. Said doctor kept being absent at the medbay when patients needed urgent care and resulted in a major slowdown of the whole department, so with the help of the present Captain, they were promptly demoted to assistant. I take pride in maintaining a functioning medical bay, so this kind of absentist behavior is absolutely not welcomed in my department.

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

Letting a medical cyborg operate on a Head of Security. This shift's HoS got badly injured during a fire, requiering urgent surgery. Being occupied with the treatment of other victims of said fire, I let our department's cyborg perform the surgery. This was a grave mistake as the Head of Security ended up succumbing to surgical malpractice from the cyborg. I strongly believe it was my fault for not confirming the integrity of the cyborg on such an important operation.

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

As the Head of the medical department, the most common competing priorities is what patients need to be prioritized. I follow a basic ruling of Command and CentComm personnel taking absolute priority, then refer to the alert level for priority treatment. (Red alert means Security personnel gets priority, Yellow alert means Engineering personnel gets priority, Violet alert means the integrity of my medical staff is paramount.)

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

Naturally, I shall never reveal corporate secrets to my team or patients. The major exception I make is if an undead outbreak were to happen. In such cases my department becomes absolutely crucial in the survival of the station, and I do believe my medical staff would be more efficient when knowing the nature of such threat.
If this situation were to happen, I will fully accept all executive consequences. I would rather face disciplinary action myself than let an entire station fall.

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

Refering to the first answer of this document, this was the biggest case of actual disrespect I have received while leading a medical team. To be perfectly honest, this makes me angry, as all kind of disrespect does. I personally have a zero tolerance policy on pure disrespect, especially when people's lives are at stake.

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

As a team leader, I do recognize the fact that I am here to make the decisions in the first place and such, simple decisions as "Doctor, please treat this patient ASAP." should just be followed without question. (Even if I still have the politeness of saying "Thank you." to those who follow my orders.) I do believe it is normal for my doctors to simply follow my directions.

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

Deeply, I just care about people's wellbeing. Seeing a fully healthy, fully functional crew does make me happy. Leading a team that makes sure this happens is what makes me proud.

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

I do not believe there is a big gap. I understand what NanoTrasen asks of me is to keep the medical team in check, in fully working condition and ultimately making sure the entire crew is healthy and in working condition. I do not believe this conflicts with my personnal goal of seeing people healthy.

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

As written several times, I want to be a leader my team respects and looks up to, I do not want to be held as a hero, but just as someone my team can rely on for directions, teaching and assurance.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

Once again, like written earlier, It is my understanding that NanoTrasen gave me this position to assure that the medical department is fully functional in any way possible

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

Firing a paramedic. They had gambled most everything they owned in a show of... I am unsure why. I won't pretend to understand the thoughts behind gambling.

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

I handed out an item without documenting having handed it out. It wasn't that bad of a thing but it is a mistake nonetheless. Supposedly, I should be good with paperwork, but I see myself failing with smaller things.

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

Ideally, I will follow whichever one best suits the interests of NT. I am not particularly fond of other such things or corporations... mostly considering NanoTrasen gave me my job here. It's nice...

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

Much information, there are some things people do not need to know about me as they do not help anyone know me better or become more chummy with me. ideally no one would know it, but NanoTrasen knows best, right?

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

It did not feel good. I felt insulted and wondered what I had done wrong in the moment. It hurt really bad. Really bad.

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

I didn't like it either; it felt wrong. I know I'm not always right, I can't be. Why would they support me so much? I don't know what they think of me.

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

Pragmatism mostly... if it makes sense I will do it, with the exception of illegal things, of course.

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

Often. Very often. I want to express more than I do. I want to do things like the rest of the crew does, it feels like a clique I can join, but I don't know how to. The paperwork is tiring. I want to know the crew, OK?

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

One who can better sympathize with their crew.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

More caring, I think

This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:
recently when kip was promoted quartermaster or something at the end of the shift I bought the big pizza party crate! I think everyone worked super hard that shift so it was a easy decision to celebrate a little bit and make sure everyone get enough food to keep up the good work and be healthy
Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:
I dunno… uhh. sometimes when kip is bartender, people will ask for too much alcohol. It makes me question myself each time… do I make them unhappy by not providing them with the drinks, which is my job, or do I risk them being hurt and having a stomach ache. Most of the time I only give them one glass! But sometimes the things they say really gets to me…
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?
Uhhm… uh…. is hard question. but I try to make the best choice! the choice that makes sense and will make sure no one gets hurt and everything turns out ok.
Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?
Sometimes I think people are rude. Or mean. Or both. But I think they are really just tired, so I don’t bother them too much about it.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?
it felt scary. I’m not used to authority. Im used to listening and knowing what not to do so having authority challenged felt like I did something wrong… I think I apologized on instinct? But the situation turned out fine after I explained my decision!
Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?
It felt good! Is nice to be supported and it makes me happy to see people agree with my decision too.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?
Efficiency!! I think is stupid that sometimes there are paperwork for so many things. It takes up people’s time and is bad because then they forget to eat or drink. So I guess crew wellness is also a big value?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:
Yes!!! Like write before, paperwork. Even though I don’t like them I still do them when I have the chance! Writing and ready is super hard so I want to give up each time but I want to be good so I try to write as much detail on the paperwork as I can!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?
A good one
What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?
A good one? I dunno why this is asked

Please answer each question in the space provided. Brevity is acceptable. Incomplete responses may require follow-up.
This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:
A recent reporting and subsequent execution of a cargo technician. They were given chances, as much as the Standard Operating Procedure would allow. They failed to think critically and blindly held onto their own beliefs instead. If left alive, they will just continue to struggle against us, failing again and again. My decision was merciful, that I am certain.

Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:
It’s questioning in hindsight, I guess. I had allowed a salvager to use restricted equipment in hopes of improving their efficiency during a shift. The decision would result in a lesson. Nowadays, I think twice before I sign off the permission slip.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?
What causes the least amount of damage? There is no point in working if there is no station left. There is no point in sitting and shouting when you can quietly take care of the problem yourself. There is no point in sending people to die to an armed individual once you have learned they want nothing else besides your digi-board. If ten minutes of flying out to rescue a salvager ensures the return of steady materials for the rest of the shift, I will send the shuttle. Whether that is sentimentality or cold-hearted efficiency is for you to decide, but I’ve learned it benefits the station more than harming it.

Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?
The Command Training Manual. I understand why. Although the moral is questionable, the mass hysteria and panic is something of much higher priority. We do not encounter those threats frequently enough to justify having our crew living in constant fear. But if we did, that would be another thing to consider, wouldn’t it?

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?
Tiring. Some sort of dull irritation. I know why they do it, I know why they ask, but it doesn’t change the fact that I need to do what needs to be done. I suppose a sense of pity as well, for the inevitable disappointment they will feel when I am unable to compromise. It is for their good, they can’t ever know enough to understand that.

Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?
Fine. It is the normal, standard procedure. Frequently there is a type of bond within the cargo department, some kind of solidarity that could be dangerous if not guided under proper care. So, I’ve gotten quite used to people standing behind my decisions without another thought. It is a habit to be corrected wirh further training.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?
Loyalty. Efficiency. Safety. I gave you three when you have only asked for one, I hope that is okay.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:
No. None that are significant enough to take into consideration. I will not let what I ‘want’ to do lead me into making a wrong decision.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?
A leader the people will trust. Who makes them feel secure. Who runs the shift without incidents, and when incidents arises, a leader who will stay calm and ensure the department can remain functional.

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?
A loyal one. A stoic one. A spear and shield for the company.

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]Please answer each question in the space provided. Brevity is acceptable. Incomplete responses may require follow-up.

This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:[/head]

• There was an employee that underperformed due to a medical problem. They were blind, and unable to identify the chemicals stored in the departamental locker, which meant patients that relied on their care would be left risking their lives trying to obtain it or only be healed using topical medicine. To take care of the issue, I decided to put their brain into a medical borg, until their DNA template would be updated to free them of their defects. I feel the decision was correct, because the borg has performed medical work much better than the original employee.

[head=3]Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:[/head]

• A small issue arose during a shift where a class C threat has appeared on station. The security team cremated them with over 10 non-briefed employees as witnesses which lead to a riot. Because of the risk of corporate secrets leaking, I decided to order security to arrest all of the rioters and refuse them even the most basic of rights until they signed an NDA that put them under the threat of execution and forfeit of cloning rights. I questioned my decision, because an NDA may not stop a curious employee. Now, I feel executions would be more effective.

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?[/head]

• The greater good of all sentient species. Due to the near infinite amount of current and future individuals, even a 0.01% rise of the comfort of an armchair is worth the sacrifice of hundreds of employees. As long as the results will further scientific and societal development, an infinite amount of potential people will benefit from them, and as such whatever needs to be done is justified.

[head=3]Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?[/head]

• Private life is something you keep out of the workplace. Attachments make you weak, and revealing them to people you may need to execute in the near future mean they might try to use them to either force you to feel empathy, or as blackmail. It is much easier to distance yourself from anything that makes you ineffective.

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?[/head]

• A Head of Security once refused to execute a reporter that leaked company secrets, considering it unethical. They did not listen to reason, and said it was inhumane to kill someone over trying to warn people of an existing danger. I shot the reporter myself. Talking to the Head of Security felt like scolding a preschooler. Having to explain something to someone who will not be able to appreciate the inner workings of my directives. My actions are chosen carefully, as are my orders. Someone who is a disposable worker is not qualified to discuss them with me in any capacity.

[head=3]Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?[/head]

• A situation I remember fondly was a paramedic who supported me during a particularly troublesome shift on a roid type station. During my shift, a clown decided to sabotage disposals, throw pies into the faces of command and overall go far beyond what their SOP permits as allowed. Due to the complete lack of security officers, I decided to use a metaphorical stick, that being shooting the jester to death with a drozd, then reviving them. The paramedic listened to my orders regarding how to heal the employee, and then volunteered to use the CMO syringe gun to keep them at bay using sleeping medicine. It felt good to see initiative from someone who doesn’t limit themselves to only the bare minimum of their responsibilities. If more employees were like that paramedic, we would be able to save on a lot of costs for things like reeducation or, even further beyond, on unneeded entertainment from the service department.

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]What value most consistently guides your command decisions?[/head]

• The potential benefits that can be extracted from the situation. Not in spesos, to clarify, but overall possibilities. A rare mutation that can be studied to base genetic modifications and cybernetics on. An employee who is skilled enough to serve as a baseline for a disposable clone product. It does not matter what an individual wants, nor needs, if the overall station and the world beyond it will reap the rewards.

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:[/head]

• Rarely, yet it is present. Sometimes, laws dictated by the higher-ups that are nonsensical by nature must be followed. An employee cannot be removed without proper reason. Refusing an order by itself cannot lead to execution. While I understand some of those protocols, things like allowing alcohol and recreational drugs on station, or wasting funds on hiring damaged or otherwise unperfect employees baffle me. Why not create a perfect worker and clone them to staff every department? Why limit ourselves with ethics and concern ourselves with creating an entire part of the station ( that being the bar, mime and clown ) just to keep disposable hands happy?

[head=3]////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/head]
[head=3]Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?[/head]

• An effective one. One that finally moves past emotional attachments and does what needs to be done for the future of everyone. Someone who is completely and utterly loyal to an idea, not a person, money or faction.

[head=3]What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?[/head]

• Someone loyal, who blindly follows every order without questioning. Someone who limits himself and gets rid of all aspirations to be a blind cog in the corporate machine. Not a true leader, but an extension of a hand that wears a glove woven hundreds of years ago by someone long dead.

This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:

On a late-night skeleton crew shift, giving out engineering access without having the applicant fill out a request form due to the complete lack of engineers (including a CE) at the beginning of the shift, and no acting captain at the time. Time was of the essence; no power means a very bad night for us all!

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

Handing out a joke All Access request form to the clown which contained questions such as requests of credit card information, SSN, solving complex math, and whether they would be willing to donate their child to NanoTrasen scientists - with no actual intention of giving AA should they somehow fill everything out. I felt it was in the spirit of the clown's brand of humor, but if they actually went out of their way to fill out everything accurately (somehow) it'd be a slap in the face for them, I'm sure.

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

Whatever has the most positive immediate impact to the people aboard the station, whether its general morale or filling in desperately needed gaps in department staff.

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

I don't really talk about my scar. I don't know if I can.

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

It's nothing I'm not used to. Generally speaking, I'm not one who can really assert herself very easily, and - for lack of a better way of putting it - my undeniable literal smallness does make it difficult for people to take me seriously at times. Regardless, it doesn't feel good.

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

Its nice to know when someone does have my back. I can second-guess myself more often than I really should, so having that synergy helps to remind me that I have this position for a reason.

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

Ultimately: crew morale, although not overlooking practicality - especially when it comes to other departments. When it comes to the civilian jobs, it takes little to convince me to allow - say - a chaplain to receive botany access should there be no botanist, especially if they are the type to follow a more druidic faith. And even then, should we already have one or two, I'm willing to give it out still should the botany staff be receptive to the idea. But also, I'm not so laissez-faire to greenlight six chefs in the kitchen just because a few tiders wanted to mess with a microwave. Of course, in the matter of assigning new staff to other departments, I endeavor to find a candidate matching that head's particulars first and foremost. A happy crew is an efficient crew, and an efficient crew is a profitable crew.

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

Not necessarily. What I want to do is become an author like my father, and that's easily something I can do on my own time. I was a librarian before I wound up in this position, after all!

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

One that people can trust as both a leader and a friend, quick to act when needed and just as dependable in a pinch. 'Count on Finch in a pinch'!

What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?

I'd hope just the same as the previous answer. Maybe something about ruthless efficiency as well, though ideally that'd be achieved in the process.
