Born on Planet Manhattan, on 784 A.S, Thomas Bryant was an aspiring businessman from the early days of his life. Following the footsteps of his late father, he took up a masters in Business Administration and did Communication Engineering as his minor subject.
Opposed to his liking he was first offered a job as a Communication Engineer in the Liberty Navy, wherein he spent 5 years of his life, serving Liberty during the war with Rheinland. He was released on his intent from Naval service after 5 years of service.
He set out on a pursuit to fulfil his Business dreams, starting out as a trader and moving through various corners of Sirius to get accustomed with the various living populace from all sorts of origins. During this time, he got contacts of various hotshots, who were of importance in their own rights. He managed to get friends from various groups and corporations. This pushed him to work as a business negotiator on a freelance level for various corporations.
Due to the fact that he had many contacts from various organisations, he had an unspoken advantage over the normal way of proceeding through deals. His diplomatic approach towards the achievement of satisfaction for both the parties involved in the deal was one of his major positives.
Years passed by and he became a common figure in the corporate sector of Sirius. This led to his direct appointment to Orbital Spa And Cruise as the Chief Communications Officer. Elegant was the best word to express the way he speaks through a crowd of reputable figures in the middle of a meeting. From then on he has been thriving in his new found corporate home, striking deals and spreading his acquired wisdom to the BoD of OS&C. He currently has his hands full, working through a variety of negotiations and to-do business deals for the betterment of the company.
He currently runs for the presidential elections in OS&C, the results of which are expected to be announced shortly. Should he be the next CEO of OS&C he has plans to improve the quality of working there and promised wage rise to all the employees.
The OS&C|Ecstacy was commisioned on 24th April, 821 A.S. It underwent some notable changes in the hull and an additional 2 docking bays were installed for carrying fighter class vessels and as well, for private meetings.
All the preparations were initiated and carved out by Thomas Bryant, who considers this piece of luxury as his flagship.The Ecstacy completed its first test run from Nagano to Curacao, visiting Munich and Hawaii in that process on 24th April, 821 A.S.
The ship has state of the art interiors, a luxurious bar for the populace travelling aboard and some other extraneous features such as a multiplex. The overall hull of the ship has been upgraded to the extent of 4 times, thanks to the module called Capital Armour Upgrade 8. It is one of the very few Renzu liners that is owned by the staff of Orbital Spa And Cruise. It is surely a class apart.
Thomas Bryant officially relinquishes his candidature for the vacant position as the Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Spa And Cruise. It was after lots of thought, that he decided, his destiny was somewhere else, rather than competing in an election, wherein he had no influence over the employees, and could never have won, whatever the odds were.
His thoughts were whirling down onto a new prospect of life that he was keen to be a part of. He was ready to go on a trip to the unknown sectors of space, and thoughts clouded his mind, if he has to walk out of the company that he had high hopes on. He was enthusiastic and optimistic about the prospective of the various changes he could have implemented to the betterment of the corporation.
But he was beaten to it, by the realms of society, wherein one, with friends in the influential areas, tips to survive and prosper, rather than one with blunt hardwork, and truthfulness to the organisation. He didnt want to be a part of the society that never did value his work, applaud him when necessary, and most importantly, did not give him what he deserved.
That was it, he packed necessary things and made necessary preparations for his long trip, one that he might never come back from. Before leaving, he was so inclined to leaving a note to Mrs. Susan Miller, the woman, whom he idolised, due to her leadership qualities and her sheer determination. "If, there was one person, that I have to really feel sorry for, due to my decision, it would have to be Mrs.Susan" he thought to himself. A decision was made, one that he was so satisfied with, given his recent trip to the far corners of Sirius.
The curtain comes down on Bryants' career as a promising Chief Communications Officer. He was fed up with the way things were going along there. He could have never pleased the employees of the company to vote for him, since the one with more contacts and friends inside the corporation was clearly bound to be the winner. It was never a battle of potential and hardwork. It was instead "one with more friends win" type of elections. And he clearly felt let down, for having to sweat it out and give his everything, for a group of people like them.
He was aboard the Luxury Liner Hawaii, by the time he sent out his last words to the corporation that he thought to be his home. He glanced across the colorful atmosphere of Planet Hiran. He had come here with a purpose. Thoughts rushed down like a streamlined flow of water. He was pretty much aware of the path he was about to go on. And he clearly loved that, since he was sure that, the people he is about to meet, are very different than the ones he had seen in his time as the CCO back in Curacao. Selfless people, those who were not affected by the pollution that is known as money and political influence, and those who acknowledged favours and help being done to them by anyone.
He rejoiced at the beauty of the edge systems, since his days as an independant negotiator, moving through the border worlds and occasionally the edge worlds of Sigma 17 and Omicron Theta. And even more was happy at the thought that he is going to be spending the rest of his life, till eternity, here. Various kinds of emotions filled up in his head, and he was never a bit sad about his decision to walk out on OS&C, unlike he spoke of there. He was to now enquire about his arrival to there. New challenges awaited him, and he was ready to face the real tests of his life.
It was nearly a month after he reached Luxury Liner Hawaii. He bought food rations to the corsairs occasionally and sometimes, went on a visit to the Freeport 9, to meet his old friends who still stay there. He was spending his life quite peacefully. But there was supposedly no thrills or adventurous incidents in his time at the Luxury Liner Hawaii.
This was the time, when he heard of a certain Derek Silverthorn, a man with quite a bit of mystery to his name. The rumours were running aroundHawaii due to an advertisement that was displayed on the bar....The Network, supposedly, an underworld crime syndicate, smuggling and working under the noses of lawfuls. And Derek was the man, who was leading the group, which he preferrably calls, the floatilla.
Though Bryant was not used to such an atmosphere of underworld dealings and shady way of life, he was quite impressed at the way this man, Derek Silverthorn had rumours about him. He took time in seeing what this group was about, and potentially become a part of this group...to reignite the spark and thrill in his life, which has been missing in the past few days. Rather, he wanted to come out of the dull life that he was leading till now.
Bryant had a decision to make, to either shed down his past, and follow the path where he wishes to go, or to continue being a respectable figure in the business community that once, he was a driving force in.
Bryant had his reply at last. And it was a positive one from the Board of Directors at OS&C, since they had his request for a "Bison" class vessel approved. The vessel was parked in Planet Honshu, Honshu. Bryant had to move to Planet Honshu, along with his tiny crew from Luxury Liner Hawaii, Sigma 19. He knew what to do next. Contact Derek Silverthorn regarding possible collaboration with the so called "floatilla" branded as "The Network". He thought that, it would be appropriate to meet him in person, rather than over the communication systems. He drew out his datapad and started scribbling as he usually used to do at Curacao.
