It's just a "positive" story as it's months and months back now. I've not been about reliably enough during the review period to give a +1. This is not a reflection of bag_o_cheese's application itself, but hopefully it just helps give information to admins while reviewing it, but I wanted to provide the context that it's quite far back even if it's positive stuff.
My interactions with Mon as a character have shown they're always willing to "Engage" with people even if they aren't an immediate suspect for crime. This is always a strong point in favour of HoS or mentor applications in my view, as demonstrating you aren't entirely self-goals focused and willing to engage is an important skill to have.
They also are willing to indulge an antagonist gambit in full. It's a rather simple example where one of my characters kidnapped Jones, had murdered the captain who had tried to retrieve them and demanded a ransom for the safe return of the former and location of the latter's corpse. It was clear at the time that security itself was either busy or struggling to catch radio stuff and it wasn't being responded to. That happens for a variety of reasons, but it's also clear Mon picked this ransom call themselves, arranged a trapped briefcase. It looked like they also pulled themself off dealing with a more prolific antagonist while doing so. Everything else went pretty humdrum.
It's important I think, as a HoS to be willing to delegate and split team focus wherever possible to address threats. Both so that threats are not ignored wholesale, but also proportional (or at least a guess at proportional) force is set out. Nobody ultimately enjoys every single officer handling a single issue where it isn't fitting, officers get in each other's way, and the antagonist gets crowded. It's just a useful skill to demonstrate you have in your arsenal for a HoS application.
