Basic Questions & Story
Why did your character decide to become the CO of a ship? Years of service, observing her superior officers from the other departments, learning techniques they provide to the cause, allowing Jacobson to climb the ranks so she can display her leadership her own way. When the time came and the position was offered, she was more than thrilled to take charge of her own ship and platoon. Not only to do things her way but to give a reminder to her crew, things must be done in a strict, militarized fashion so she can sustain minimal losses that will occur in the future of her career.
How did your character attain the position of CO? Growing up, Jane was subjected to her mother's way of parenting. Instead of becoming a deadbeat nobody, her mother pushed and pushed for her daughter to get into college and sign up for Officer Training within the USCM. Thanks to her loving, short tempered mother, Jane was able to become a commissioned officer, focused on the supply, or rather, Requisitions side after being assigned to different USCM vessels.
Overtime as Jacobson gained officer-like experience dealing with enlisted soldiers, she noticed a common trend with how there were men and women who treated themselves as "that guy" only to return in a body bag after the operation. This repeating trend was getting Jacobson disappointed, angry with how she saw the lack of discipline in these soldiers, forging a new resolve in the Lieutenant which inspired her rise above, pushing herself for greater heights instead of being comfy as the head lead for the Requisitions department, reminding herself of her mother's teachings.
High Command noticed Jacobson's leadership as Captain of the USS Duskbreaker, more notably her offensive assault against a CLF moon outpost, sustaining minimal casualties rather than the common 25-30% rating. To reward her for her service, Jacobson was offered not only the rank of Major but given a place for her own ship to command, all of which the officer was more than happy to accept.
Provide a short story of your Commanding Officer.
Scenarios
When do you believe it’s appropriate to pardon a prisoner? Give an example. One scenario, a marine was stuck in, lets say, Research and they had no way of getting out, neither a CMO or researcher was awake to free them so they break the glass to get out, MP finds the evidence and does the arrest. I would of course listen to the Marine's side and confirm the evidence, pardoning the prisoner.
Another scenario, MPs are called to arrest a doctor and marine for assault, the marine grabbing and "table'd" the doctor while actively disarming him. I would ask both parties for their say, the marine telling how the doctor was using stims to overdose the marine after a disagreement they had. Talking to the doctor, their side is they wanted to take and keep the an item the marine had, which prompted the overdose so they could steal the item. Confirming the chemical usage in the marine and the wasted stim from the doctor's belongings, I would pardon the marine and allow the doctor to suffer the timer for their own law break.
When do you believe it’s appropriate to use a Battlefield Execution? Give an example. The battle planet-side is raging and to ensure our victory, I deploy to the ground, acting as the main coordinator for FOB's defenses. The SL in charge of the Squad for FOB starts getting upset and angry how I'm making their role useless and invalid. Their emotions getting worse and begin making murderous intents, telling his squad how "I'm a stupid leader." and "I should kill her so we can win". Making seditious acts, inciting his squad to mutiny against me. I would end up Battlefield executing the Squad Leader for being a threat to my command.
