Army Interviewer: "So, Venus it says on your record that you've been convicted several times for substance abuse. It also says you have failed to check into Rehab each time. Why is that?"

Venus: "I didn't want to. I have better things to do with my time."

Army Interviewer: "Such as?"


Venus: "Shooting people, practising my killing technique."

Army Interviewer: "You're hired!"

I just noticed a promotion event:

"Lieutenant Commander John Thomas has been promoted to Commander".

So I looked at the personality traits:

"Arrogant, Callous, Punctual, Unkempt" - in other words, a real John Thomas :)

Are we _sure_ that Steve isn't seeding some of these officer results? :)

Interestingly, he was actually flagged as an outstanding officer when commisioned:
Crew Training Rating 200
Fleet Movement Initiative Rating 183
Survey Bonus 15%
Factory Production Bonus 10%
Mining Bonus 10%
Terraforming Bonus 25%
Intelligence Bonus 10%

For an overall promotion score of 1868.

I've had officers with no bonuses, barely any initiative and zero promotion score. Military training my bum!
