Medical Addendum, for Personnel Command review only.
I must formally object to the assignment of Commander Anna Dimitrovic to any role involving unilateral command authority at this time, and specifically object to her placement as sole on-site commander of Station 13.
This posting is characterized by operational isolation, prolonged confinement stressors, and limited opportunities for immediate peer consultation or supervisory oversight. In such an environment, the absence of timely clinical support and real-time command consultation materially increases risk of impaired judgment under fatigue and chronic stress load, particularly in personnel with documented trauma exposure and stress-injury history.
Recommendation: reassignment to a non-command billet, or, at minimum, implementation of a two-command structure with mandatory scheduled consultation, documented decision review protocols, and rapid access to remote medical and operational advisement.
Personnel Assignment Memo, Station 13
To: Station 13 Oversight Cell, Personnel Command, Medical Directorate
From: Assignment Authority, Deep Ops Personnel Branch
Subject: Final crew roster confirmation and readiness concerns
Assignment
This memorandum confirms the final personnel roster for Station 13, effective on receipt, pending final review and sign-off. Assigned crew are as follows. All additional personal identifiers are retained under internal control.
Commander: Anna Dimitrovic
Captain (Medical): Marcus Thames
Corporal (Engineering): Anthony Carzone
Specialist: Sandra Lenore
Specialist: Nicholas Volka
Mission Context
Station 13 remains a low-visibility platform tasked with long-duration monitoring, quiet data acquisition, and routine system maintenance within established parameters. Operational risk is assessed as moderate, driven primarily by isolation factors, limited on-site redundancy, and the psychological load of extended confinement.
Command Suitability and Concerns
Commander Dimitrovic’s record reflects consistent performance under pressure, high adherence to protocol, and protective leadership instincts. Medical review indicates documented trauma exposure and stress injury consistent with prior service. This does not disqualify her for command. It does elevate the need for procedural guardrails that preserve command authority while maintaining crew stability.
Oversight is advised to treat stress-related presentation as a mission risk factor to be managed early and discreetly. In an environment where sleep cycles, routine, and signal discipline are already under strain, perceived scrutiny can compound symptoms and accelerate interpersonal fracture.
Mitigations
Captain Thames is authorized to initiate routine wellness checks under standard medical pretext, with emphasis on normalcy and continuity of routine. Engineering will keep maintenance schedules predictable and posted. Communications will preserve strict logging and confirmation protocols on all alerts. Any irregularities will be documented in plain language, with speculation held for closed review only.
Command Guidance
Do not confuse trust with tolerance. We trust the crew. We do not tolerate drift. Station 13 is isolated by design, which means small issues don’t get smaller. You will keep the station steady and the crew steady.
Directive
Proceed with transport and onboarding as directed. Brief all assigned personnel with the approved materials only, in the approved order only. No additions, no omissions. Keep the mission predictable. Keep internal noise down. Keep logs and paperwork inspection-ready.
