When putting together operator files, HR Department personnel will often conduct investigations from various directions, such as direct inquiries with the operator, field examinations of their hometown, observation of the operator's behavioral trends within the ship, and interviews with other operators. An operator's profile overview can only be completed by synthesizing all of the available information. Through these investigations, we've noticed that the personalities of the operators who come to Rhodes Island are almost always complex and multifaceted, almost impossible to reduce down to a list of simple traits, and never exactly the same between two operators. Of course, Thorns is no exception. Many people who've been in contact with Thorns will describe him as 'difficult to get along with.' While these evaluations seem to reflect poorly upon him, further investigation revealed that many of the operators who gave him these negative evaluations still maintain frequent and friendly interactions with him. Those who are able to see more and more of Thorns's flaws are, conversely, closer to him and have a deeper relationship. While people complain that Thorns is 'difficult to get along with,' they still make the effort to do so. In regards to the issue of Thorns' interpersonal relationship with other operators, we concluded that there is no need for further monitoring. [Addendum] I agree that long-term observation can enhance our understanding of an operator. But to be honest, I originally thought he was kind of cool, but within a few months, all I could think of was him and his.... uh... how should I put this... lively operators doing all kinds of weird exercises together. They'd talk about wacky topics all day long, and then try to actually build that stuff. Sometimes, their crafts will explode before even being finished! Who's going to be able to keep an eye on a guy like that? How come no one has come to hang these people on deck yet? [Recorder's Addendum] We already tried that, but it didn't do anything. The investigation period ends today. I have some comments I'd like to write on this file, but my boss said they were too subjective, so nevermind. What I will say is, the potion bang snaps they made today were a lot of fun.
