[Accepted] Suvek Tokash - 07/01/2465 Appeal

[Evandorf]

Appealing Personnel: Warden Suvek Tokash

Specific Incident: INCIDENT REPORT - 03/12/2465

Action taken as a result: Removed as Head of Security and Demoted from Command Status to be available for appeal within three months time.

Action contested: Demotion and Removal From Command Positions

Reasoning for contest: As I made clear during my interview with the HR Representative following the event, I do not contest the fact that my decisions have caused loss and pain to members of the crew and had a lasting impact upon the Horizon and the Conglomerate at large. This appeal is not meant to gainsay the decision of the original report, yet, as stated by the handling agent, the decisions in question were predicated on the necessity to provide for my team and further the success of the mission. The agent continues, saying that the punitive measures taken were due to the unfortunate outcome from the chain of events my actions put into motion and that, but for the damage to the Conglomerate's reputation within the DPRA, punishment may have been spared.

Spoiler

The investigation of an Incident Report has concluded, and the following action is being applied at this time:

1.) Suvek Tokash will be stripped of his authority as a Head of Security and formally demoted from command status, to be available for appeal in three months time. While his decisions were predicated on necessity to provide for his team and ultimately the success of the expedition, the fallout of the destruction of private property owned by the Din'akk innkeeper eventually snowballed into what became a disastrous outcome for the SCC's reputation in the DPRA. For this reason punishment cannot be spared, and thus the Conglomerate has decided to subtract Tokash's status as a Head of Security.

No additional disciplinary action is deemed necessary at this time.

Agent Notes: You may appeal as of three months this date.

In the subsequent months following the incident I have worked diligently in my new role as Warden to protect the Horizon and its crew. Removal from command and a shift in duties has given me time and isolation to reflect on my actions and the lessons learned from the tragedy, for if I do not strive to improve after failure then it would be better if I had not survived at all.

First and foremost, the preeminent lesson to be taken from this is one of foresight. I must strive to see beyond the immediate and consider the long-term consequences of any action. During the expedition I allowed myself to be blinded by a singular need and it deprived me of a wider perspective. As a member of command I must be able to prioritize multiple issues while being keenly aware of the effects their ripples may cause.

I give oath that I will have a greater care for the enormity of my actions and consider the unforeseen consequences; may my ancestors witness my vow.

The second lesson is one of accuracy and veracity. My decisions during the expedition were predicated on mistaken assumptions which, in my haste, I did not verify. I do not consider myself rash and in enforcing regulations I make every attempt to ascertain the truth. A handful of minutes was all that need be spared to alter the course of events that day, yet the urgent call of those in the caves spurred me to act with less care than was due. As a member of command I must be able and willing to quell my own impetuousness and take time needed to make informed decisions.

I give oath that I will verify to the best of my ability the conditions upon which my decisions are made. I will stifle rash action and give my decisions as a member of command the consideration deserved; may my ancestors witness my vow.

The final lesson is one of trust. Every commander must be able to trust in those they command. A lack of trust results in a need to oversee every aspect of the operation and stretches your attention to its limit leading to issues seen in the first and second lesson. Trust does not imply your personnel are infallible, merely that you can expect they will do what is required and if they fail they will make every effort to correct their failures. As a member of command I must give this trust to the officers and crew I oversee, as those in the higher echelons of the Conglomerate give their trust to me.

I give oath that I will lead my officers with the trust deserved of their position, allowing them to perform their duties with appropriate oversight. I will remain detached, observing and leading from a perspective that allows greater understanding of the whole; may my ancestors witness my vow.

I will keep these lessons close and remember my failings as I continue forward. If I am reinstated and given the opportunity to regain my honor I will impart them to those I command as well.
