Subj: Clarification of Erica Picotte and other individuals with “Calluna” as a middle or nicknames on the Almayer
Encl:
(1) Personnel Dossier of PICOTTE, Erica, 29201912CB/2180, U.S. Colonial Marines
(2) Picture of PICOTTE, Erica, 29201912CB/2180, U.S. Colonial Marines
(3) Corrupted record of medals for affected individuals
(4) Corrupted relations review file from affected individuals
Enclosures (1) to (4) are forwarded for information and retention.
During a bad database migration of our personnel records, we have found that the record for Erica Picotte’s current status on board the Almayer had been accidentally corrupted with other individuals.
- The Hawaiian twins, Christine and Heather Tanigawa. Christine has stepped out of rotations and accepted an administrative position in Herculis. Heather is currently on rotation with the USS Almayer. As to why they seem to occupy different positions on the ship, clarification from High Command defaulted, indicating that their objectives are classified.
- Angela Ochoa, who has engineering credentials.
It’s a real mess back here on Chinook as we are trying to untangle these personnel records from multiple dossiers.
We suspect that Picotte may be:
- serving as Chief Medical Officer for the U.S.S. Almayer,
- serving as a Doctor for the U.S.S. Almayer Medical,
- serving as a Researcher for the U.S.S. Almayer Medical, or
- is reinstated as a combat medic under the Falling Falcons for the U.S.S. Almayer due to outstanding contractual obligations from the Offworld Reserves Scholarship Program.
It’ll be real swell if you can fill us in on Picotte's actual job on board your ship. We are at a complete loss here.
Also, verify with your existing records and let us know which interviews belong to Picotte and which ones belong to the other individuals with Calluna in their names. Thank you.

(4) Corrupted relations review file from affected individuals
Elly ‘Lizard’ Luckwing - She’s a great medic and fellow doctor. As a professional, she’s a very experienced doctor and medic who cares for her patients deeply. Compassionate, understanding and self-aware, she’s one of my best friends on this oppressive metal enclosure drifting light years away from the nearest decent bar. We have been through thick and thin together, and I will always root for her success whatever she chooses to do.
Lance Corporal Isabelle Colletti - She is enthusiastic about her job, always treating others kindly. A real good medic too, from what I’ve heard. Her trademark whimper will turn a few heads I bet. She has been taking a short leave recently and I do fax her a couple of times. I’m happy to know she’s doing well, she’s good company and pleasant to be around!
Landon “Seabass” Hughes - A warrior scholar of the classic sense, he is, in my opinion, the best go-to guy in the intelligence community. I learnt a lot from his research into what makes a good intelligence officer and the tips and tricks of the business. I even have his book permanently in my locker when I need to brush up after being in cryo for some time. If you do any form of intelligence work, I recommend you check it out. And can someone give this man a raise!
^ NB: Probably part of Christine Tanigawa’s file instead. Pending confirmation.
Lance Corporal Gwendolen “Fair” Folk - Folk? She’s the first medic that I’ve known and looked up to when I was first posted to the Almayer. To this day, I have no idea why she has those beautiful facial tattoos but at this point I don’t dare to ask. Intimidating chem orders, not going to lie, always a pain to work on ‘em when I was fresh on the Almayer. Every time she sighs at my incompetence glaring at me with those stern emerald eyes, my heart sinks a little. She may be aloof, but she’s one of the best medics alright. I’ll be as good as her, someday…
Vera "Chow-Mein" Dixon - Crazy researcher that once consumed 4 pounds of chow mein in a Chow Mein Ultimate Challenge. Being in the Research Department can be a real snooze fest so it's nice to have someone as fun as her around.
Sofia Eder - For some weird reason I can't remember what she works as on this ship. Captain? XO? RO? CMP? Something command role I think? All I remember is that she is tough, speaks her mind but has a good heart and is willing to help anyone willing to learn and listen.
^ NB: Probably part of Heather Tanigawa’s file instead. Pending confirmation.
Marcus “Nurse Boy” Pfeifer - A good doctor and medic who knows his stuff… but please someone, find his shirt or pass me a tissue before I’ll get another nose bleed.
Professor Sebastian Storm - He is really gouchy and old fashioned. New doctors get upset or scared at the sound of his name. I've been yelled at by him before for just meditating in a chair of the waiting area. I remember a lot of doctors just deciding to take a sudden cryo day off when they see his name in the manifest. I think in hindsight he was one of the more memorable CMOs I've known that is willing to take a hard stance of his staff in spite of the repurcussions. He's hardly around these days though. Is that good? I don't know.
Professor Sebastian Storm - He has a reputation for sterness. I did meet him once before while I was a Mess Sergeant. I offered him something fresh to eat. But he ordered Cafe Lattes to be delivered to the Research Department. Turns out it was for an experiment for a reagent they were trying to replicate for testing. Eh... he's fairly stern looking but he seems alright.
^ NB: Probably part of Heather Tanigawa’s file instead. Pending confirmation.
Samantha 'Sammy' Maverick - A competent leader type, she always knows what she's doing most of the time. She's also very supportive and reliable.
Cheng Chan - He's one of the real veterans. Real worldly too. He lately has dyed his hair red and is always seen wearing a red headband. And always has a look of determination on their face. He's good at his job and I wish him nothing but the best in getting to where he wants to be.
Rebecca Sterling - Yep, I remember her when I first started out in the Almayer. She is the first person to teach me how to make a camera assembly when I was a Maintenance Technician. Also I've been seeing her back from her shore leave with green hair that overwhelms her natural blonde roots. I asked her if it was a style she picked up from her shore leave and she clarified that the green hair was a side effect of the copper poisoning she faced in childhood and the blonde color was in fact caused by deliberate dyeing to cover it up.
^ NB: This probably came from Angela Ochoa. Pending confirmation.
Wamakahana Windhealer - He most certainly gets into trouble, I offered to play a bouncer-peacekeeper role in the fight club victory party. I even got a photo of this momentous occasion. That red beret is me to the far right, Windhealer is the Captain in the center of the ring ready to tango. This is in the Secure Storage dome that one anti-xenomorph operation on that jungle moon. He throws the best victory parties, and from what I've been hearing, most people have a good time in his company.
^ NB: This probably came from Heather Tanigawa. Pending confirmation.
Captain Wallace Harwood - I once asked him why the tablet in the bathroom was sticky. He just grinned at me. Good captain though.
Grijk Bulcher - We met when we were both doing a tour of the OT workshop. Introduced me to his own personal recipe of the Armageddon Grenade, which I still use today with his blessing. An honest and decent amigo, I enjoy working with him. If you can, say hi to him and he may let you in on this explosive recipe.
^ NB: This probably came from Angela Ochoa. Pending confirmation.
Song Wu - This was a time when I was being re-trained from a Maintenance Technician to an Ordnance Technician in 2190. When I was just starting out being trained in Ordnance, he taught me how to make ANFO safely without getting us blown up. He also taught me how to make octagen effectively. I quote from him: “Well, with me you’ll make some nice boom booms.”
^ NB: This probably came from Angela Ochoa. Pending confirmation.
Axel ‘Havoc’ Smith - A competent intelligence operative. Lived through several operations when it was harder to procure intel with him to know he gets the job done. Keep a really low profile though, as any good IO should. Sometimes I see him struggle with balancing his loyalties to his former employers, but he tries to make both sides happy whenever possible. Haven't seen him around these days, hopefully he's back home in New York.
^ NB: Probably part of Christine Tanigawa’s file instead. Pending confirmation.
Jacklyn 'Bad Frag' Sahara - She's that trusty pink haired marine that goes around helping people. Pleasant and always asking questions. She's on extended shore leave at the moment.
Chad Pollard - Doesn't wear a helmet because it covers that awesome blonde hair of his. He's so cool... he's also a good tough soldier underneath that coolness he exudes. Saved me once from the jaws of death.
Dr. Sybil 'Buckles' Allard - Helpful and willing to chat, she had this great idea of using a rock-paper-scissors match moderated by the CMO to decide whomever to get the pleasure to deploy for field surgery. I haven’t seen her step out of cryosleep for the past few tours though. Hope she’s doing alright!
Ward “Saint” Roadman - I was woken up halfway in that op in that one jungle world. It was my first deployment, and the previous 2 gunners had SSDs. So I took over as gunner, had some nice rounds. He was a good sport and listened to my ramblings about my homestead dreams. He also helped me with the ropes of the transport APC, so an all round cool dude.

Thanks for reading this dossier! There are so many people I know that are probably aren’t on this list too. If you want to be added to the relations document, give me a shout and I’ll add it in.
