He impressed me in his intake interview: His chair collapsed halfway through the interview, but Evans showed no surprise at all. Nice cool head on that one. He also achieved excellent scores on all his marksmanship tests. (Personal note: No fewer than four different weapons misfired, jammed, or in one case outright exploded during his weapons evaluations. I had a talk with the armorer about acceptable maintenance standards.) Finally, he came with a very strong recommendation from his former resistance cell commander: "Please, please, take him. He's like nobody else I've ever seen. Put him right into the firefight, you'd be doing us all a favor." High praise! I am certain Evans will prove to be an exceptional soldier along multiple axes.</p>

She came to us from a loosely affiliated guerilla resistance network calling themselves "Customer Support." When I asked what her role was with the organization, she simply repeated "customer support." And she giggled.</p><p>Sir, with respect, where do we find these people, and why do we keep giving them guns?</p>

In addition, on her one previous field deployment for XCOM, she pulled off some truly impressive long-range shots on hostiles. Accordingly, I have earmarked her to be the first of our sharpshooters.</p><p>Personal note: When I asked her a friendly question about how she learned to shoot like that, she replied "I practice on people who ask me annoying questions." Clarified with armorer that live ammunition will absolutely not be issued to Theodora except for field duty.</p>

In addition to downing three X-rays, she talked a fellow squaddie down from panic and patched up another after taking fire. Her life before joining the resistance includes both comprehensive technical education and experience in pharmacology, so I'm sending her to Shen and Doctor Im to continue her training in both.</p>

He carries his rotary cannon everywhere. Literally everywhere. Fully loaded. He painted it purple. He TALKS to it. Then he pauses, considers, and responds like it was holding a conversation with him. This is not only against our standard weapons discipline, it's damned creepy.</p><p>In addition, he is the most blatant offender against our dress and personal grooming standards. (Q.V. my email earlier this week.) Others have started following his example, and I fear if we do not nip this in the bud, discipline will break down completely. I approached him yesterday and told him his dress standards, or lack of them, constituted a problem, and his response was, and I quote, "I've been a bad boy. Maybe Dadford needs to spank me."</p><p>I suggest we remove him from field duty indefinitely, pending psych evals.</p>
