- In contrast, displays an interest in dangerous and/or thrill-seeking activities: including motorcycling, and skydiving. Holds a black belt in Krav Maga, and has cited multiple incidents with hostile or physically aggressive patients as the reason.

- Is conversational, self-sufficient, confident, and self-assured. Can display stubborn or even egotistical behavior when challenged or pushed.

- Has participated in target shooting for both recreation and competition. Scored very very high in marksmanship drills.

An excerpt from Recruiter Le's report…

"...although it's a slightly unprofessional term, the best way I can describe Roxanne Becker is that she's a "mixed bag". Certainly, she displays the kind of qualities that we're on the hunt for; she's motivated, intelligent, composed under pressure, and passed the physical exams with flying colors. Working as a paramedic in Brooklyn, she's seen some shit (more unprofessional language on my part, feel free to redact if you're so inclined) and her medical skills could be put to good use if she's ever activated.

What irks me most about her, however, is that she's a walking paradox. She and I shared multiple interviews where we spoke at length about a wide variety of topics - both related and unrelated to Directive 51. Becker's a woman with many hobbies, including track motorcycling, competitive shooting, and skydiving; but she speaks about these dangerous activities with a certain level of nonchalance - as if she's already grown bored with all of them. I was tempted to write her off as an adrenaline junkie and end things there, but she also possesses the strong sense of morality and duty that we're on the hunt for. Although it took some prodding, Becker opened up and shared with me that her reason for becoming a paramedic was because both of her parents were killed in a car accident. Of course, I already knew all of this from the background checks, but her reactions and explanations were genuine.

One thing I took note of almost immediately was Becker's tendency to use humor in stressful situations. It's that sense of humor and innate charisma which has made Becker popular amongst her peers; and to date she has been responsible for training and mentoring several new hires in her industry. It's hard to say whether she's a "glass half-full" or a "glass half-empty" kind of person; regardless, if a joke can be made, she'll find a way. But I suspect deeper issues are at play. Whenever I brought up a topic that was emotionally difficult, like the tragic deaths of her parents, Becker utilized humor in an attempt to change the subject. Although I don't want to presume, I believe that much of her personality - the humor, the wit, the stubbornness, and the egoism may all be a part of a façade that even she is unaware of.

Directive 51 is intended to be a "stay-behind" program. Naturally, prospective agents should be people who have something to lose, or something to protect - be it family, friends, or otherwise. Becker, despite her outgoing personality, has no surviving family, no romantic entanglements, and a very small social circle. Tragedy can build you up or tear you down, and in Becker's case, I really don't know whether the former or the latter is the case.

Like I said, she's a mixed bag.

All that aside, Becker made for interesting conversation. She's witty, if a little acerbic; well-informed, if a little cynical. She respects top-down hierarchical structures, but I can imagine problems arising if she gets paired up with other agents or officers who also share strong personalities or exhibit equally stubborn behaviors.

Despite my initial apprehensions about her, I think she's a good candidate for the program.

Oh, and one final note regarding her first name. Yes, I referenced the song by The Police. No, she was not amused. The other recruits in the program have already settled on her callsign, much to her chagrin.
