Takes notes of it or something, might as well develop a framework while the ideas are fresh. Even if its barely note form it may remind you later.

Evaluation carried out by: UNSC Dr. Joseph Eden, UNSC Do No Harm.
Reserved, quiet, and distrustful of nearly everyone he comes across, Ensign Bradley fits the description of your typical "hacker" that you would expect - someone who keeps to himself and keeps himself higher over all others. When I asked the question, "Who would you save: Yourself or your team?", to him, Ensign Bradley almost immediately answered "myself", to my surprise. When asked about his rationale for his answer, Ensign Bradley gave the response: "It's human nature. I grew up as the youngest child in my family and always got the short end of the stick. If it comes down to it, I'm prioritizing myself over everyone else at this point - what's the point in trying to save someone that's already dead? I've watched millions of people die from just a window up in orbit when the Covenant glassed those worlds, but what could we do to help them? I'm honestly desensitized to this shit at this point. It's only a matter of time until they find Earth, which they will find at some point. Luckily, I'll be far, far away when the apocalypse finally does happen."
According to an anonymous crewmate in a previous interview, Ensign Bradley has been described as "a good guy - doesn't have a lot of problems, follows his orders, but there's something definitely wrong with him in the head. He just doesn't come out as normal to me." Reports indicate that Thomas rarely comes out of his quarters, if at all, according to crew reports during his service onboard the UNSC I Spy - except, of course, when he is needed immediately. He has been asked in previous Evals if he is struggling with depression or any other mental health issues, to which he replies plainly with "No." every single time. When asked about his experience with computers, Ensign Bradley has shown great enthusiasm and skill with operating computer systems, and displays exemplary behavior as his role aboard the I Spy, even when under pressure. Ensign Bradley has been asked whether or not he feels that he is on the autism spectrum - but no formal reply has been given as of now, though interview with his family has suggested that he is most definitely not.
Ensign Bradley has almost always shown acceptable behavior in following orders and cooperating with colleagues when transferring to different deployments, though lacks interaction with most colleagues for the majority of his deployment. Despite his almost perfect conduct record (Barring that one particular incident), I would recommend that Ensign Bradley take the time to interact more with others. Prolonged solidarity has decreased mental stability in some individuals, and we are both well aware of how the ground forces treat those who like it be "lone wolves". I have faith that Ensign Bradley's most recent deployment, wherever it may be, should be especially interesting this time.
No further examinations reported.

Report Compiled by ONI Field Agent, CODENAME: KILROY
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It has come to my attention that ONISTO is in need of a report on Ensign Thomas Bradley in light of his recent redeployment to Division Quasar. It's a harder job than you might think - this department just loves to use up all their black ink over information that's practically useless. Anyways, most of the intel here is from Bradley's original file - at least, the intel that wasn't covered up in seven layers of black ink. Anything that was covered up is instead coming from my own dossier on him, for your eyes only.
-K.Roy
Thomas Bradley was born in New Barbados, Emerald Cove, on January 14, 2525. He was the fourth son to Maxwell and Rachel Bradley, both settler colonists to the Emerald Cove colony. Though spying on kids isn't my job, I do know the following from interviewing his family: As the youngest son out of three other brothers, the older Bradley brothers often teased and made fun of him for his awkward behavior, which included obsessive use of electronics and a lack of regular interaction with others. Thomas had a fairly normal childhood on New Barbados, notably earning exceptional grades in mathematics and the sciences, but for the most part remained unremarkable. That was, of course, until 2542, when Thomas began to pique ONI's interest - and my own interest - suddenly.
Thomas's search history pre-2542 indicated that he was especially gifted in the technical field and computer sciences, impressive for a 17 year old growing up in a somewhat rural area, at the time. Such searches included advanced mathematics and UNSC history, among other topics. While he initially had no intentions whatsoever on joining the UNSC, he was far from oblivious to the ongoing war that the UNSC was waging against the Covenant in the outer colonies. Most colonies far away from the fighting assumed this to simply be made-up stories of fighting the Insurrectionists to boost morale and the UNSC's public appeal, but Thomas knew from the start this was a ruse. No normal "insurrection" could simply hop from planet to planet in an instant and wipe out UNSC fleets and defenses alike just as quickly. And somehow, a 17 year old on a mostly irrelevant Colony knew about the Covenant well before it became an issue to him.
I was not tasked on INCIDENT: HYPERBOLE in 2542, as I was dealing with further investigations into the Insurrection of Mamore at the time, though I do know that in this incident in question, a cyber security breach was detected by Section I on Emerald Cove briefly, before mysteriously vanishing soon after. Although these were mostly useless files and reports with little confidentiality, ONI knew that even little files like these, leaked to the public, could have severe consequences. Further investigation into this incident, well after Thomas had joined the UNSC, had revealed that he in fact was the hacker in question, whose intent at the time seemed to be cracking the lies of the UNSC's "victory" at Harvest by looking at photos from the battle himself. By then he had admitted that he was the only person in possession of these photos and intelligence, which has now been confirmed. This clearly showed us that Thomas knew about the Covenant well before they began to become ubiquitous in the Outer Colonies - he was in possession of otherwise sensitive information that no normal 17 year old could acquire without having an extensive knowledge in hacking and our own computer systems. Yet this teenager, an otherwise unremarkable "script kiddie" and UNSC Naval cadet, could almost effortlessly access the files of our Emerald Cove wing and point out our system's vulnerability. We had to admit: the kid was a genius. You could even call him gifted. While we were considering suspending him at first due to the obvious repercussions of having such files, the Office instead brushed this incident off his academic record and let him off with a warning so long as he agreed not to discuss this or do anything of that degre again - he had a spotless conduct record, after all, and essentially helped us pinpoint various vulnerabilities in our own cyber security grid. Our rationale was that Thomas, and his talents could be used later for our advantage in the war.
Thomas partook in the evacuation and abandoning of Emerald Cove in 2542, when he and his brothers finally decided to enlist in the UNSC. Simon and Eric went on to become Army and Marine Corps NCOs, respectively, while Morgan enlisted in the Air Force elsewhere. This left Thomas, fresh out of the Academy, to enlist in the Navy, taking up the recently vacant spot of Communications Officer onboard the Destroyer, the UNSC Taipei, which had also partook in the evacuation effort.
I actually first came to know about Thomas personally when I was tasked with investigating a peculiar incident on the UNSC Taipei in September of 2546. During the fleet battle over Imber, a remarkable victory against a Covenant fleet occurred, after Bradley intercepted important Covenant transmissions that allowed forces on the ground to decimate Covenant forces and reinforcements, as well as allowing the UNSC fleet to outmaneuver the disoriented Covenant fleet, so much so that the Covenant abandoned their campaign on Imber entirely following this. Following his promotion to Ensign, I personally interviewed Thomas as to figure out how such a feat was possible. Said information has already been documented in another report of mine, but Thomas has expressed that "it's easier to hack them than you may think." Section I personally recommended that I recruit Ensign Bradley into the Prowler Corps immediately following Imber to be tasked with espionage and communications interception against the Covenant, onboard the Prowler UNSC I Spy.
While under the Prowler Corps, Ensign Bradley completed all his regular reports and missions, but notably was much more reclusive and lacked major interaction with the other crew, to my surprise. The I Spy had been crucial in the evacuation of millions of civilians and colonies, but also had been too late on multiple occasions, unable to keep up with the accuracy and speed of the Covenant Navy's advanced slipspace technology. Despite witnessing millions die from the Covenant glassing campaign, drops in morale notably did not appear on Ensign Bradley's regular psychiatric exams, suggesting that the sight of these attacks no longer would have had a lasting effect on him.
I received reports back in 2548 of the UNSC I Spy's continued work in the field, especially during the campaign at Meridian. It was Bradley's work once more which allowed the defending Air Force garrison and the Orbital Defense Grid, in coordination with the Prowler, to hold off against the attacking Covenant - a campaign which is still going on as of now. Bradley's work in intercepting Covenant communications and assessing enemy computer systems had once again showed his prowess in the field, which - might I add as a personal note - ONI was literally dying for at this point.
The last bit of Intel I have on Ensign Bradley was a documentation on his recruitment into ONISTO's BLACK Initiative: a new special operations task force which, officially, does not exist, but has gained quite a reputation for many successful missions, including the recent victory at Paris IV. Because of the apparent lack of someone with Bradley's set of skills in the the BLACK division known as Quasar, Ensign Bradley was promptly assigned to Quasar, serving onboard the UNSC Salt the Earth, currently stationed in drydock at Aszod, Reach. Ensign Bradley arrived at Reach and the UNSC Salt the Earth a month after the Battle of Paris IV, where he will await further deployment as one of Division Quasar's newest members.
Any and all pertinent information, including updated information on Ensign Bradley, will be posted on this document as necessary.

I assume Thomas was still on his home planet when he hacked into ONI, which would be impossible unless the systems were based on that planet (or passing through via ship) as no interplanetary system exists. Otherwise, ACCEPTED.
