MI Stuff- Pen Goto (Patreon)

Penelope Goto is the commander at Devotion, which sounds like a military title but isn't... the base is scientific outpost built, owned and financed by the US government and private funding. She is a commander more in the sense of a mission commander, but her mission is simply to keep the base functioning, managing the people coming and going, incoming resources and outgoing wastes, maintenance and development, maintaining a certain standard and image etc. 

Pen does actually have a military background however, which comes through in her management style. She is most effective at leading teams when there is a clearly established chain of command, so she had to unlearn a few bad habits (and relearn collaboration) while training for this position. She isn't exactly anyone's best friend at Devotion, but is okay with that; she is more concerned with keeping everyone safe and making the base financially solvent. Because of its relative "newness," investors were initially hesitant to send people to Devotion (for example, what if it closed down, cutting research projects off early? or what if it is not as well equipped/ established/ safe as other bases because it is so new) so at the start of the comic it was not fully inhabited, and operating at a major loss. Thankfully, over a year without incident, investors are starting to take the bait~ just need to keep everything running smoothly until some other people can be rotated out >__>

Anyways Goto is kinda private but does have a wife at home, and is capable of being nice. She just hates Mike because he doesn't try very hard to work with her and generally brings the entire base down with his shitty attitude. She's not privy to his medical records due to confidentiality but suspects there is something shady going on there, and can't wait for him to no longer be her problem.
