Roughly 3 months ago there was a round I had with Curie Mint that left a very strong impression on me. I’ve barely played any security but decided to late-join as a random name security assistant. Curie joined after me, and instantly noticed that I was struggling to adjust to the role. There was already a lot going on, but Curie offered me a helping hand and walked me through the basics. The whole time Curie was patient, thorough, and enthusiastic. When Curie was called away by the HOS for an emergency, she checked in on me over the radio to offer encouragement and answer any questions I had. Unfortunately, I died. After losing her trainee and the HOS, Curie quickly switched gears to organize and guide security until the HOS was cloned. With a round where so much is going on at once and you’re helping a new player it’s natural to be frustrated, but the whole time Kateaclysm rolled with the punches and kept calm.
I bring up that round specifically because it demonstrated to me some admirable traits that I think are important in a HOS: An eagerness to help others, the patience to keep your cool, and being ready to step up and act as a leader when necessary. I had started the round nervous and lost but by the end I had learned the ropes and had a great time doing it. For me, Curie turned what would’ve otherwise been an overwhelming experience into a very lovely and memorable round. If another newbie had been in my shoes, I truly believe they would’ve felt just as welcomed and reassured as I did thanks to Kateaclysm.
That was one round though and there’s still plenty of room for improvement. I think the advice Kate offers in this application is incredibly important and something I hope Kate continues to take to heart. With a role like Security frustration is inevitable, as simple as the advice “take a break” may seem its oftentimes difficult to recognize when you need to take that step back in the heat of the moment.
To this day I still see Morrow/Curie reaching out to new sec and offering that same excitement and patience, so I really hope that every person trained by Morrow or Curie gets to feel as welcomed as I did and that she continues to be a reassuring presence for others.
