Carissa, snap horrible decision before they get there, does she think Tallandria is still worth hiring?  Tallandria would've been on his list as a tier-2 even if she'd completely failed the exam, tier-1 if she'd done okay on it.  But at least in Civilization, this would be a symptom of somebody who ends up requiring tons of emotional support, and being a distraction, and it would be a famously bad idea to have her in your high-pressure startup.  Mostly if somebody can't handle the pressures of Civilization you want to encourage them to go to a Quiet City, or the Future, depending, and not have more kids who can't handle Civilization.  But somebody in Governance thought Tallandria would be a good pick for the Project for some reason, presumably, and she did do well in chemistry.
