From Dr. Cassie Alkin Journal in Hale's Dossier:
"...Taciturn, Distrustful of authority. Responses to Rorschach and Templeton Apperception were well within acceptable norms. Some evidence of repression, frequent references to leaving-implicates a preoccupation to death.
While I'm sure that Hale's heart is in the right place, he gives me the impression of being a bit cocky."

Psych Report
- SOLDIER: Sgt. Nathan Hale
- DOCTOR: Dr. Cassie Aklin
- NOTES:
- Hale was ten minutes late to initial interview, asked if 'the shrink had gotten here yet' but recovered nicely when 'shrink' was revealed to be me. Taciturn. Distrustful of authority. Responses to Rorschach and Templeton Apperception were well within acceptable norms. Some evidence of repression, frequent references to leaving-implicates a preoccupation with death.
- While I'm sure that Nathan's heart is in the right place, he gives me the impression of being a bit cocky. I need to focus on the three men who are actually eligible for this week's injection; their mental health is my primary concern.

Psych Report
- SOLDIER: Sgt. Nathan Hale
- DOCTOR: Dr. Cassie Aklin
- NOTES:
- I must admit that the impression Nathan gave me last week was not a favorable one. When I first learned that he hails from my home state, I thought to myself, "The upbringing may be South Dakota, but the attitude is pure New York City."
- Well, I may have been hasty in my assessment. This is, after all, a stressful situation (to put it mildly). And Sgt. Hale has been able to put aside his own questions, concerns and judgments in order to realize that there's a bigger issue at hand. He has been a real leader here on the base, helping the other men cope with their anxieties by organizing pickup basketball matches, arm-wrestling tournaments and card games (although, I suspect that Captain Gennaro may have had more to do with the gamblind endeavors than Hale). Even though our day-to-day rigors here in Alaska are predominantly gloom and doom, Nathan has been able to see a light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel. I h ope it really does exist, so I choose to believe in his vision.
- In terms of analysis, I had very little chance to dig into Hale's case history. He harbors some resentment toward his father, but his willingness to discuss it makes me think that his paternal issues are in line with a soldier of his age and station in life.
- At the end of our session, it occurred to me that he did more listening than I did.

Psych Report
- SOLDIER: Sgt. Nathan Hale
- DOCTOR: Dr. Cassie Aklin
- NOTES:
- Nov. 21st, 1950
- I was going to write something objective-sounding - that Hale and I seem to finally be establishing a rapport. Which is true. But a professional clinician must always maintain an interested but detached demeanor and I failed at that in our last interview. It is undoubtedly my own isolation, but I find myself talking to Hale as if he were not a person under my care but a peer in our relationship. Hale had gotten to my office early and I was down the hall, talking to the Communications Officer. I had been sorting through some of my files, and the memo from Col. Thompson detailing my orders was on my desk. Hale of course read it.
- We talked a bit about the burden of responsibility. This is clearly an issue for Hale. I felt awkward, of course, because he does not know about the people who are choosing. He made some reference to Glenn, and how my having known him before makes it that much more difficult.
- I said that I was obligated to recuse myself from the process because my objectivity was compromised. But that the military wasn't aware of my previous relationship with Glenn. And then I said that, in fact, I had recused myself. I told him about distributed decision making networks, and about the people making the choice, my army of strangers. I got...rather impassioned about my inability to make the choice myself.
- Hale listened impassively. I don't know what he thinks because our session ended when Glenn arrived for his. I have the sense he isn't sure what he thinks. But I may be fooling myself. He may very well despise me.

Psych Report
- SOLDIER: Sgt. Nathan Hale
- DOCTOR: Dr. Cassie Aklin
- NOTES:
- Nov. 28th, 1950
- My session with Sgt. Hale started off on the absolute wrong foot. When I asked what was on his mind, he just sat there and droned, "Capelli...Brown...Oster. That's what on my mind." It was as if he were reciting a role call of the dead and dying. I hated hearing those names. I almost reverted to childhood, when you can clamp your hands over your ears and make the world go silent. But, we're grown up now and we have to face up to the actions we take - no matter how grim they are.
- I can't fault Hale for being honest. We're all thinking about the sacrifices of the past subjects. I just resent the hint of blame in his voice - maybe because I deserved it.
- The rest of the hour was uneventful. His attitude softened. I think he felt bad - but, I felt worse.
- He's eligible for injection and I need to determine his mental stability. I asked more questions about home, family - we chatted about South Dakota some more. But, we both realized that South Dakota was a world away; Project Abraham now stands between the simple memories of the past and the harrowing prospects of the future. Discussing home just seems out of place here - obscene, almost. Nathan knows that as well as I do.
