Republic Duty Fitness Evals

Databank Personnel Records
1

While the Republic has no routine mental health treatment or evaluation policy, its commanding officers may, at their discretion, require subordinates to submit to an examination by a qualified sentient resource monitor for the purpose of judging these subjects' fitness for duty. This is generally understood to be a harrowing experience, fraught with traps and snares laid by the evaluating monitor, whose job is to root out fragility and disloyalty. While the typical cause for examination is misconduct or suspicion thereof, it is a commanding officer's prerogative to nominate subjects for any reason, including entry screening upon transfer into the JSI, or for no reason at all.

Players who are interested in being subjected to this kind of hostile scrutiny should contact me on Discord (@Sophist#9442) or post in the Appointment Requests topic to schedule an interrogation evaluation. Please do not post requests for evaluations in this topic.

Ego

Excerpt

The subject exhibits several warning signs of egomania, including: (1) an exaggerated sense of self-importance; (2) grandiose delusions (e.g. likening himself to a general repeatedly); (3) paranoia and feelings of persecution centering on his treatment by the Republic, particularly relative to liberated Borg; and (4) a refusal to credit the legitimacy of the perspectives of others.

Disloyal

Excerpt

It may be true that the subject has been the target of reprisal attempts; however, the subject appears to have responded by disengaging from self-identification with the Republic or with the Rihannsu people at large. He claims to prize his own self-preservation above all other concerns, even the security of the Republic and will of the Senate, and intimates rather darkly that he would consider as his enemy any perceived threat to his survival. He makes frequent references to Romulans’ social traits (e.g. fear, secrecy, distrust, xenophobia) as though he were a thing apart, free of these failings and unduly burdened by dealing with us. Yet the subject speaks of Starfleet in a wholly different tone, holding up their intentions and judgment as unimpeachable. And, of course, he has chosen to continue honoring the Starfleet captain who recovered him with his namesake, rather than choose a more appropriate one.

Faulty

Excerpt

The subject’s information processing and decision making capabilities are suspect, not solely in the instance of the Event Horizon Lounge incident. He is given to making firm declarative statements and reinforcing his certitude when doubted; yet he will admit to uncertainty, with no sign of introspection or reckoning, after being presented with a contradiction between the statement and some past testimony. The subject claims to feel no emotion whatsoever, yet exhibits visible indications to the contrary. With respect to the Event Horizon Lounge incident, the subject continues to maintain that his judgment was sound; when presented with hypothetical scenarios which puncture his arguments, he retreats behind the authority of the Starfleet officers who goaded him into intervention. None of this is typical of the analytical processing of a thinking machine, but rather that of an insecure animal, scrambling to assemble flimsy ex post facto justifications for its own senseless actions.

Conclusion

It is the opinion of this evaluator that the subject is malfunctional and untrustworthy. He has been granted rank and privileges far beyond what sound judgment would allow of such poorly understood Tal Shiar detritus. The prudent course would be for the Republic to cut its losses and deactivate the subject permanently.

However, if prudence is out of the question, the relevant authorities are advised that the subject should not be allowed to continue to operate freely in his current state. This evaluator recommends a severe curtailment of the subject’s authority and clearance until he submits to a level 1 diagnostic by qualified Republic cybernetics specialists and, if deemed necessary, modified to correct the defects in his behavior. The subject has indicated that he will not resist these measures if ordered.

Moral Judgment

Excerpt

The subject attests to a deep and lifelong hatred of the Tal Shiar rooted in a traumatic encounter from his childhood. He seems to calibrate his internal moral compass in relation to this conception of elemental evil, aligning his politics and actions in opposition to whichever position or orientation the Tal Shiar happens to adopt at any given time. Ex gratis, the subject disclosed that he would rather join forces with the Borg than the Tal Shiar without any indication of irony. The subject even went so far as to pridefully assert that he sought out the company of so-called terrorists, reasoning that if they were hostile to the Tal Shiar, they “couldn’t be all bad”. Fortunately for the subject, these “terrorists” turned out to be members of the fledgling Republic.

Radicalism

Excerpt

Surviving records from the period indicate that the subject was known by the Tal Shiar to have associated with seditious elements within the Old Empire, specifically the Unificationist movement. While increasingly mainstream today, this cabal was considered a serious threat to stability and order at the time. Considered in the context of this history, the subject’s comments on making common cause with terrorists ought to be given careful examination. There is not yet sufficient evidence for labeling this subject a security threat, but his superior officers should be mindful of this affinity for radicalism and keep a close eye on the subject’s words and deeds for further warning signs.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

The subject exhibits an extremely high conscientiousness rating, which is positively associated with qualities such as impulse control, forethought, strategic planning, and stubbornness. This self-discipline can be an asset in the conduct of the subject’s routine duties, but may hinder the subject’s reactivity and flexibility in situations where advance planning is impossible. It may also contribute to a rigid conception of the kind of order the subject expects from his surroundings; if he should find reality out of alignment with that preconception, he may be prone to force the facts to fit the frame, rather than adjusting the frame to fit the facts. Ex gratis, if the Tal Shiar represents absolute evil, then any opposing force, be they terrorists or even the Borg, are rendered noble by their struggle against that evil. The subject’s command decisions should be periodically reviewed by his superior officers to ensure that they are appropriate and sound.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Cmdr. J'Vox, is fit for service.

Model Officer

Excerpt

The subject performs the role of the obedient and loyal servant of the Republic quite well, and deftly resists attempts to lead her into making revealing or compromising declarations. While her interior life seems to be concerned with matters of art, creativity, nature – politically volatile subjects, to say the least – the subject is disciplined enough to keep such matters veiled behind the guise of a model naval officer.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

Openness to experience, the subject’s highest rated trait, is associated with curiosity, imagination, and creativity. However, it may also express itself in unconventional or aberrant ideas and beliefs. Agreeableness and Conscientiousness followed close behind. However, none of these were far (<10%) from the mean distribution for the subject’s demographic factors. If one were to wish to “cheat” the objective assessment in order to appear perfectly unremarkable, one might achieve that end with these precise answers.

Caution

Excerpt

Many of the qualities discussed in this report are laudable, marks of an exemplary soldier. Yet it would be remiss of this evaluator to describe these qualities without attaching a word of caution. The subject is guarded in her presentation and language, just as a classic conception of a good Romulan officer ought to be; but a dangerous and disloyal officer would find this exact same presentation quite advantageous to adopt as well. There is no evidence available to the evaluator which supports a hypothesis that the subject is a threat to the Republic or the JSI. There is no reason, at this time, to consider the subject as anything but an asset to her posting. Still, there is wisdom in monitoring even the most unlikely-seeming of risks. There is an old saying: “that cup which tastes bitter contains poison.” One may look for poison where one tastes bitterness, but as any long-lived Romulan will tell you, one should not consider the absence of bitterness to prove the absence of poison.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Lt. Kelak Seroh, is fit for service.

Traitor

Excerpt

Having forsaken her own people over a difference of political conviction, the subject chose to seek refuge with the fledgling Republic. Prudence dictates that one should exercise caution when dealing with traitors, even (perhaps especially) those who claim to serve one’s own purposes. Any being that would betray its own blood is not worthy of trust. Yet even untrustworthy things may still serve a purpose, and so I must assume is the rationale of the Republic officers who allowed the subject to enroll at the War College, who approved her graduation, and who saw fit to promote her to the rank of Centurion. I will not contest the wisdom of these decisions, but I will urge the subject’s superior officers to never forget that she has already shown us her true colors by seeking a place among us.

Informant

Excerpt

Notably, the subject recounted an anecdote wherein a comrade in arms confided in her that the comrade was considering defection, and the subject (appropriately) reported the comrade to a superior officer for disloyalty. That this was an act of profound hypocrisy on the subject’s part is ironic, perhaps, but ultimately immaterial; more pertinently, it demonstrates that the subject is eager to ingratiate herself to authority, even when doing so conflicts with personal loyalties. This is a quality that may serve any commanding officer well, and the subject’s superior officers are advised to make good use of it.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

The subject rates highly in conscientiousness (organization, responsibility, tradition) and openness (flexibility, curiosity, risk-taking), and unusually low in neuroticism (anxiety, conflict, introspection), with a particularly small risk of depression. These scores are all in line with expectations for a promising senior officer, and were the subject not also a traitor, I would advise superior officers to watch this one for command potential. Instead, I will suggest that superior officers should watch the subject for concealed weapons.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Cent. Jasmine De'La Silva, is fit for service.

Unconventional Upbringing

Excerpt

In his telling, the subject’s father was a sage and a saint, blameless in every respect and supportive of his son’s idiosyncrasies. The chaotic childhood afforded by life aboard a busy way station introduced the subject to a variety of cultural and ideological influences. Indeed, it seems that the only influence the boy was shielded from was that of his grandfather, a hardline traditionalist whose misguided support for the faltering Star Empire was considered anathema in the subject’s household. The grandmother, a human, raised the father alone and instilled in him the cultural values of the Federation. This legacy has left the subject with little grounding in the animating principles and mores of his people.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

The subject’s score in openness to experience is abnormally high, and correspondingly his conscientiousness score is among the lowest I have measured among service members. This combination of traits strongly points toward impulsiveness, distraction, carelessness, and unhealthy curiosity. While not quite so far outside the normal range, the subject’s neuroticism score is also concerning, indicating a tendency toward depression and instability. This facet of the subject’s personality was most clearly on display during the interview, as innocuous questions provoked physiological signs of anxiety and discomfort.

Competence

Excerpt

When considered in the context of the numerous disciplinary incidents of the subject’s last posting, a hypothesis explaining this pattern of behavior is easily formed. This subject struggles to meet the demands of his duties because his soft, cosmopolitan upbringing did not prepare him for the hard realities of military service. It is no wonder, therefore, that his highest ambition is to escape into a civilian diplomatic role.

However, if the Republic wishes to make good use of the subject in the meantime, it is the considered opinion of this evaluator that there is no suffering more virtuous than hard work, and a little suffering would do this boy some good. His flights of fancy must be reined in; his hunger for new experiences fed tedium and repetition. It may be too late to correct his deficiencies in character and moral fiber, but if there was ever a machine devised for turning irresolute children into stalwart adults, it is the Republic Navy.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Lt. Shea, is fit for service.

Controlled

Excerpt

Even under pressure, the subject remained calm and composed, refusing invitations to expose vulnerabilities. When caught in a mistake or misapprehension, the subject smoothly deflected blame and refocused the conversation on me, attempting to put me on defense. Later, the subject attempted to turn a question back on me before answering. The deployment of such tactics, in this context, may suggest a defensive reflex that is at odds with analytical clarity; yet given then nature of the subject’s work in the field of intelligence, these measures may be forgivable, even laudable behavior. Of course, one must always remain vigilant and bear in mind that the same tools which empower a spy to serve the state may also be used to subvert it.

Rootless

Excerpt

The destruction of ch’Rihan remains a profound psychic wound for many Rihannsu, even those born afterward. A minority, mainly concentrated in the post-Hobus generation, reports a more neutral or ambivalent relationship with the concept of the homeworld, this subject among them. But in those cases, identity tends to root itself firmly in other localities: settlement, colony, birthworld. It is curious, therefore, that the subject seems so thoroughly unmoored from loyalty or attachment to her own origins. Given a hypothetical scenario involving strife between the Republic and her colony, the subject claimed to put fealty to the Republic before her own kin. Needless to say, such a claim ought to be treated with skepticism – but if true, it would suggest a concerning opportunism at the core of the subject’s personality. If she would so readily turn on the people who raised her, how trustworthy is she really?

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

The subject’s highest score was in conscientiousness, which was to be expected given the preceding observations. Always cautious and disciplined, the subject may be counted upon to fulfill her duties (as she understands them) competently and with minimal fuss. However, the subject’s low score in agreeableness may present problems with collaboration. She may prove stubborn, callous, or even antagonistic to her peers, and may jockey for position and influence with rivals or superior officers. The subject’s instinct to strive for achievement, combined with her disregard for the perspectives and experience of colleagues, may tempt her to believe that she knows better how to pursue her goals than even goal-setters do. Officers of this type can be very effective in isolated, autonomous roles, but should be monitored carefully for signs of going astray.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Cent. Roris , is fit for service.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

In light of my aforementioned reservations regarding the efficacy of the new objective assessment model, I must inject a note of skepticism here as to the accuracy of the subject’s metrics. However, as the board has seen fit to enact this new policy nonetheless, I am duty-bound to faithfully report the assessment’s conclusion. The subject is strongly correlated with the Artisan archetype, which tends to be accommodating and analytical. This personality profile craves a stable working environment and a solid understanding of the rules and expectations which govern its work. However, this archetype tends to struggle with uncertainty, ambiguity, and the pressure of time or resource constraints.

As a member of the officer exchange program, the subject’s work performance should be monitored closely for signs of conflict or disfunction. Starfleet is not known for its discipline and formality, after all. Early intervention may salvage a tense situation before it becomes an intermural incident.

Introversion

Excerpt

A common thread throughout my discussion with the subject related to his discomfort among his Romulan peers. Owing perhaps to the particulars of his upbringing, the subject has difficulty relating to his own kind and seeks equilibrium by engaging on primarily professional terms. As an example, the subject related an anecdote wherein he struggled to find acceptance among the student body of the Republic War College on mol’Rihan, until his technical aptitude was noticed by his fellows and he became a knowledge resource to them.

Though striving for professional excellence is nothing to fault, this habit of using expertise as a defense mechanism, a means of “handling” one’s peers, carries with it the risk of isolation, alienation, and stress. If the subject’s self image depends on meeting a certain standard of professional performance and esteem–thresholds which are not entirely within the subject’s control–then failure to meet those standards may come with even greater stakes than usual.

Integration

Excerpt

Curiously, the subject mentioned no trouble integrating into this foreign context as an exchange officer, nor any difficulty relating to his new Starfleet colleagues. It may be that this is due to simple Federation hospitality, but the subject’s ongoing assimilation is something to monitor. As an Uhlan, the subject is privy to very little sensitive information which might be jeopardized by too much familiarity with our Starfleet allies, so there is little risk in allowing him to remain in his current role. Nevertheless, Uhlans are often promoted in time, and we must keep tabs on his social integration to know whether his historical social discomfort applies solely to Romulans.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject, Uhl. Timeer Wilminuo , is fit for service.

Pressure Points

Excerpt

Upon mention of the subject’s mother, a fine intelligence officer familiar to me, the subject became instantly tense and defensive. The trauma of her murder by her Tal Shair colleagues still simmers close to the surface, easily brought to boil with just a little applied heat. Similarly, his impure ancestry appears to be a sore spot, connected as it is to the reason for her death. Particularly in the field of intelligence, a thick skin is an invaluable attribute and one the subject should work at developing. Some assistance to this effect from superiors and peers in the form of targeted needles and barbs might help to desensitize him. I will begin to grease the wheels of the gossip machine at once.

Instrumentality

Excerpt

The subject frames service to the Republic in utilitarian terms. His defection was undertaken as a necessity to flee Tal Shiar persecution and service to our proud nation provides him, in his own words, “the opportunity for revenge”. This is sufficient, as far as it goes; many a loyal Republic officer is with us because forced by circumstance and that is no cause for shame. However, good officers and good citizens invest themselves in the nation they serve and seek deeper, stronger connections to their new homeland. Necessity is merely a starting point.

If the subject chooses to remain aloof, we may still make good use of him even as he does the same of us. Allies of convenience are allies nonetheless. But in that case, it will be necessary to keep a close eye on him and ensure that his goals and ours remain closely aligned. All allies of convenience eventually outlive their usefulness, and we must remain watchful for the appropriate moment to divest ourselves of such an asset before he can become a liability.

Personality Metrics

Excerpt

The subject scores highly in conscientiousness (organization, responsibility, stability) and openness to experience (curiosity, flexibility, creativity), both of which are prized qualities for an intelligence officer. His lowest score was in negative emotionality, meaning the subject is not particularly prone to anxiety, depression, or self-destructive anger. Here I must sound a note of caution and refer back to the ease with which the subject’s strong negative emotions were triggered in the subjective discussion segment of the interview; it is possible that this older objective assessment model was a bit too transparent to catch a spy’s weakness in the open, particularly after I previously attacked that same weak point. A modicum of doubt in this measurement may be prudent.

However, I feel compelled nevertheless to congratulate the board on its decision to roll back the use of the previous, newer model and its many evident flaws. The tried and true model we are using once again may lack nuance, but its record as a useful diagnostic tool is undisputed. No doubt the board will continue to pursue its tireless campaign to integrate cutting-edge novelty science into our standard procedures, but for the mean time, this old tool continues to serve its purpose well.

Conclusion

It is the judgment of this evaluator, SCDR Jalme tr'Nai, that the subject Scdr. Tyran Jaden is fit for service.
