Captain’s Log, 207338.1 UCCC-D. Alvie Serkune.
After some deliberation, I’ve successfully assigned all current crew members to appropriate fields and ranks.
Getting them into the right fields was easy enough, most of them had some proficiency that translated into a role needed on the ship. Tarnja Vex, for instance, was the only logical choice for pilot.
The exception to that rule is Redvik Meeder. He’s, to put it kindly, not particularly proficient in anything. I’ve allocated him to the medbay as a trainee nurse under Dr. Da’ani, hoping he can pick up a thing or two. When he’s not assisting her, he mostly just mops the floor. I never asked him to do that, he just enjoys doing it. It makes him feel useful. I don’t have the heart to tell him the ship cleans itself every five cycles. Who am I to deny him this Sisyphean joy?
As for the others, I’ve appointed department heads and delegated the responsibility of promoting crew members within their departments to them. They are, after all, far more familiar with their fields than I am.
Lyande Deccem: Head of Research
Carlya Nivan: Head of Engineering
Leibniz Winsig: Head of Resource Management
Dr. Rana Da’ani: Head of Medical
I’ve also appointed Makarrh Myhaal as my first officer. Originally, I wanted Lya to take that position, but she made a strong case that her greatest strengths made her better suited to lead the research department.
Still, despite technically being my “second” choice, I have no reason to doubt Myhaal’s capability. She’s a very competent and intelligent woman. The only issue I’ve had in direct communication is that she can be a little... dry. I don’t hold that against her, Makarrh's family is not originally from Maevus and she likely grew up with a different sense of humor.
This might not be how the Coalition manages their crews, but I’m confident this arrangement will be just good enough to meet their expectations. After all, I have no intention of actually joining the Coalition... but for the time being, they’ll make a good ally.
