PATCH
Medic
Medic. Quiet, careful, warmer than anyone else on the squad. He asks about you before he talks about himself.
Physical Profile
Light-skinned male, Middle Eastern heritage — second or third generation. Long dark hair. Noted tendency to layer civilian clothing under tactical gear. This is not a protocol violation. It has been flagged. No action taken.
Reads as non-military in bearing. This assessment is not accurate.
Service Record
Original classification: USP Army Infantry. Retraining pathway: Combat Medic. Cause of transition:
Personnel from prior service report no incident. The reclassification appears to have been voluntary. It is documented here that this appearance and the available record do not fully align.
Selected for Athena deployment: medical skill rating, psychological stability, and compatibility with PATCH variant Praetorian MK1.
Psychological Assessment
Quiet. Methodical. Interpersonal warmth assessed as genuine rather than performed — makes personal contact before discussing function. Consistent across all records. Not context-dependent.
Trust is given slowly and completely. Once extended, it does not appear to be revised without significant cause. The conditions under which that trust could be tested are now present on Athena.
Full psychological evaluation:

The transition from infantry to medic is not documented. What is documented is that PATCH requested the reclassification in writing, twice, before it was approved. The reasons given in those requests are not accessible at this clearance level. The second request was approved three weeks after the first was denied.
