Noah Hjalmar

Admiral Carter is the head of the NSO, leading his forces and defending Earth and her Colonies while commanding his own ship, "The Morning Sun". His father was also a Admiral 5 years prior to him, and ever since he took the riegns he has been taking steps to fix a lot of problems his father left behind, as due to his father, and incompetence from the NSO as a whole, many mistakes were made like the cause of a Galactic Civil war, and the lost of Pioneer Team 21. Though he is young he is doing well for the NSO, and has put the force in a better light. All following documents are reports from him personally.

"Misaki was born on a frontier planet, a planet that was newly settled and still being developed, called Persephone. The village she was born in was native to Japan, and carried their time honored traditions. For years Misaki served as a simple student at her school and worked hard to get into college to pursue a degree in biology. All that changed when the Insurgencies started to run rampant through our solar system. Due to some questionable actions on the part of my father, and the NSO, civil war broke out amongst the colonies and even though her colony remained natural in the affair, they were quickly burned to the ground by the Insurgence. They stole all their food and supplies, and all measures taken to defend their homes was met with a ruthless slaughter. She was 17 when her parents were killed in that battle. Only a few months later she enlisted with the NSO, lying about her age and saying she was 18. During the Galactic Civil War, she fought mostly to get her revenge on the Insurgence. She turned into a fine warrior, and received high marks. But I cant help but feel a little sorry for her. She was a honor grad student, about to study at a prestigious college. Past colleges note her being shy quiet, loving and compassionate. After everything that happened she has become far detached from that person. For a long time she has been treating Insurgence members with upmost disrespect and hostility, violating laws put in place to protect prisoners of war and harassing, beating, and nearly killing a few POWs in her station, and her fighting on the battlefield has been reckless and fueled by her emotion. Commanding officers have been saying she has a problem following orders, but all of these things have been going unchecked for a long time due to her being a valuable asset to her teams. I cant overlook this however as she obviously emotionally compromised, and her actions were on the cusp of becoming war crimes. A few years ago I re-stationed her with Salvation IV, a squad lead by Noah Hjalmar tasked with duties outside of the Civil Wars front lines. She was inherently upset with this, but Noah has managed to put her in place and give her some order. The Civil war has sense been dying down, and Misaki does not show any signs of wanting to return. If she can prove that she has calmed down and can keep her mind clear of her hatred, I may consider putting her back on front line duty, but until now she is just fine with Noah's team."

"Clay Lachlan was a steel worker in Australia for the better part of his life. His story is a simple and straight forward one, as he just saw posters hanging around asking for members to join the NSO during the Civil War. What is interesting however, is that Lachlan has served in a wide variety of fields, first starting out as a infantry man, then moving on to become a field engineer, then becoming a recon specialist, then becoming a hostage search and rescue expert. For about 10 years he would jump between all kinds of occupations before settling in his current one, pilot. He was rather decent at everything he has done, but once he got in the seat of a Jatayu-97 he became one of the best pilots we have. He said himself that, 'It took a lot of searching but I think I found were I belonged' after his first successful mission. He flew with a flight squad that called themselves the Bushwackers for a while until Noah Hjalmar was in need of a pilot for his expeditions. Noah himself was trained to be a pilot until his incident, and for that sentiment I wanted to give him the best I had to offer. Noah has gotten along quiet well with the Clay, and the chemistry has worked out well enough to keep the two together for a few years now, so as long as nothing happens I plan to keep Clay stationed with him."

"What can I really say about Sara Downs? She is highly intelligent, explorative, and outgoing. She has studied in biology, genealogy, geography, zoology, medical science and astronomy. I have established her in multiple Planetary expeditions as she is essentially a one man exhibitionist. With her I don't really need a team of scientist to preform all these task. This can sometimes get to her head, and she can become a little difficult to work with when she starts to feel a little cocky, but she is still a great component in a expedition none the less. She had actually came up with the idea of making contact with Cerberus herself, I was not at all willing to go forth with the idea, especially when she suggested she join the expedition, there was just too much at risk. But I agreed after a while. If for no more reason then to try and put to rest what happened 20 years ago. I let her assemble the team she wanted, and she said she wanted to keep it small this time, as she feels part of the mistake made all that time ago was trying to send in too many people on a large ship, and if they could just take about 5 or 6 in a small and nimble ship equipped with everything it needs to survive all types of EMP's and atmospheres, things should be smoother. We have been working for a few months on getting development started, and now we are ready to enlist the team she wants. I just hope she is right about this."
