Raymond Duke
Rank: Captain
Age: 32
Duke comes from a low-income family in California. He joined the army as soon as he was eligible to escape the harsh realities of his world, and find something better. We caught him early on, noted for his high intelligence rankings and remarkable hand-eye coordination reflexes. Further testing found him qualified to be one of the first test subjects for the MECH program. Truly gifted, he quickly rose to the top of the initial class, even though for some time he claimed that he would rather be in an actual war-zone rather then in experimental weaponry. He was among the first to test these in undercover missions in Afghanistan and performed admirably under fire, showing previously unsuspected leadership and tactical planning skills. Realizing his true potential, we promoted him to command of the experimental MEC units, and now, we highly recommend him for command of the MAESTER project. He has shown to be highly intelligent, competent and skilled, with no real notable psychological problems.
Marissa Fairborne
Rank: 1s5 Lieutenant
Age: 28
Fairborne comes from a wealthy family in middle-Texas, a family that did not want her to join the Marines, which had been her dream since childhood. Once she was old enough, however, Fairborne abandoned her family and joined the Marines on her own. She performed notably, and like Duke, her hand-eye coordination and response times caught our interest, and we had her moved to our control for the MECH program. She performed excellently, second only to Duke in her class. She too performed admirably in the Afghanistan mission, showing her courage and her ability to follow orders to the letter. She too comes with high recommendations, and carried all of the positive traits Duke possess, other then leadership abilities, of which she has shown no real inclination for.
Jason Powers
Rank: Private 1st Class
Age: 25
While Fairborne and Duke come with the highest recommendations, Powers, we have concerns with. He was among the second group brought into the MECH program, and thus was not involved in the Afghanistan mission. However, his ability to pilot a MECH unit and all derivatives is completely unmatched. He came from a middle class family in Oregon, and joined the Marines with their blessing. When we first found him, his accuracy, speed, and control was unmatched - and inside a MECH unit, his performance even more stunning. He piloted circles around everyone from the first and second- and even third group of draftees into the project, and his piloting skill, if nothing else, earns recommendation. However, analysis of his psych profile brings up some disturbing trends toward excessive violence, and a deep-seated phobia of being defeated, which leads him to strive to find whatever would have defeated him, and defeat it in turn. This trend is unusual, but not crippling, and despite these tendencies, he has performed well under duress. We recommend him, but request caution be used. I understand this mission is of the upmost importance, so we will provide him if asked. He can do the job, its just how effectively that remains the question.
