Peter Jobson (Shuttle Mission Commander)

cautious professional skeptical dutiful pragmatic authoritative institutional composed calm under pressure clear communicator procedurally focused prestigious collaborative realistic technically precise

Peter cements his stature as State Department bulwark amid Haiti's brutal unraveling, rebel bullets shattering Port-au-Prince as Bazan clings to power. Oval Office urgency tests him: sanctions brew but history warns they scourge the innocent, sparing coup plotters. Dispatched with Nancy McNally to funnel ultimatums through Canada's prime minister, he dodges invasion's shadow. Four weeks earlier, Situation Room tension spikes as he skewers amnesty's peril—coups demand consequence, not free passes—his realism bracing Bartlet's moral surge against policy's jagged edges.
