*Terry shat down,he knew that the only chance to really make a step closer to fortunes and fame,was now.
He drinked a bit of his tea,he bought it from Dublin,it was a fine black strawberry tea,which made him really clear his mind and spirit.
He inhaled the air of his lungs,each breath was another momentum for him.
He started reading the questions,it was not hard as he expected.
Maybe it was a trap?So they can clarify
vultures,scavangers and opportunists?
No.
He will be crave and honest,he is who he is.
Nothing more,nothing less.
If they did not hire him,he could just continue solo,as he did his whole life.Not big change.But he needed a change.Time passed.He was ready to answer.So he did*

- What is your full name?
My full name is Terry McGinnis.Pilot of Tereyo.
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I am a freelancer and always have been.Although I was destined for a doctor,Denver-Liberty,as my father said a lot of times to me,I always dreamed to become a pilot.When i finished my pilot training in Erie-Liberty,another freelancer,offered to be my mentor and guide.
From there,I have picked the trading art.
I started some small trade runs from InnerHouse systems in Liberty,and slowly as I gained expierence and guts,started to make InterHouse runs.
I was involved with Bretonia,mostly cause I becamed to love her fine people and their cultural advances among other Houses.
Fellow traders showed me some new routes that led to my economical rise.
From there started a monthly route from Liberty to Bretonia and via versa.
I never been inside a Corp or a Federation,so I have to admit that I am not be the greatest asset Bowex can use right now.
But I really need a "family" to progress myself and contribute to others.
- To what division are you applying?
Shiping Division.As you read above,I love to trade.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Firstly,you are the oldest and most trustworthy Corporation in Sirius.
Secondly,you have the greatest pilots,on skill and behaviour,and I would like to be that kind of a pilot.
To make a long story short,your level of professionalism is no like other.
I want to be a part of it.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
Even as a rival company,its still another human being behind that cokpit.
Another trader.He is like me,a person trying to live and make his destiny through this path of life.
What is more worthy?
Some pilots lifes or my cargo,my ship?
I would first contact the Royal Navy and the Police,then I would try to help the Gateway convoy to somehow escape the Red Hessians.
Then if the Reds continued to pursue us,I would make a proposal to them.
Give them a nice credits ammount,so they can leave us alone.
That way,they could prey on some money,than getting themselfs to more trouble,by assaulting a Bowex or another trader.
That way,I could save our lifes,and who knows,maybe the Gateway Traders would show in exchange of helping them,another trade route.
To gain money,you have to throw some too.
Thats the way business is done.
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
I would probably try to engage in a friendly conversation with him.
I will show him that there is no need to attack each other,cause both of us have the need to travel and trade.Its our art,and we can coperate to bring the maximum intrest in the two of us.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
I dont know much,I am still new and young.
But from what I hear most people say about them,they should be not treated as Bretonians.
*He was done,he checked again,he was from Liberty,and everyone knew Libertians are not the best grammar users.
It seemed OK,he pressed the compile button.
The terminal responded with a Confirm message,he clicked yes.
He was inpatient..his future was on their hands now.At least that version of future.*
I've been in touch with Hidamari about joining Borderworld Exports, and for the sake of keeping everything in official ways, I hereby post my application to this thread.

- What is your full name?
Darryl Eric Tomas "E.T." Rheinhart
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Two years ago I was an account manager for a communication and marketing company, based in New London. That wasn't satisfying enough, so I ventured in to space and became a successful freelance trader. I do not possess any other experience than that.
- To what division are you applying?
Shipping division, if possible with potential to grow within the company.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
The fact that I've always had a thing for the Union Jack and that I love the United Kingdom of Bretonia. Nexto to that I obviously love space travel and trading, otherwise I would have made some very poorly made job decisions in my life.
Next to that Bowex is one of the oldest corporations in existence, which proves for a solid foundation and a proper core as a company. I also believe the Bowex and my visions are very much aligned, so I believe that this way Bowex and I can definitely be an asset for each other.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
I would not get involved in the fight. If I were to get pulled in, I would side with Gateway, despite our tenuous relationship with them. Criminals in general have no good intentions and are the nr. 1 enemy of any trader. Gateway, although our rivals, are lawful people with visions different than ours. Just because of the latter does not justify taking law in own hands and side with criminals.
But if I weren't to get pulled in the fight, and instead be allowed to escape, I wouldn't contact any authorities either. I'd rather... "let it work itself out".
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
I will try to evade any hostilities for the sake of my ship and what I haul. If possible, I will alert authorities or other people able to assist me to jump in when necessary. I try to avoid fights, but I will defend myself.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
If anything like other Glaswegians; I'd mock their accent, but from a safe distance.

From: Jan Peters, Senior Supervisor. To: Terry McGinnis, Freelancer. Topic: RE: Application
Good day Mr McGinnis!
Again, I would like to extend my apologies that nobody of our personnel department has gotten around to dealing with your application yet. I can only say that we have had a lot coming over our desks lately, so I have decided to take these matters in my hands for now.
I have looked through your document and I am quite pleased with what I see - However, since you seem to possess a rather peaceful personality yourself, and I want to affirm that there is nothing wrong with that, you should at the same time not expect all of our employees to look upon our competition, or even the frogs, quite as kindly!
Of course, we are always happy to accept trainees who enjoy their work and are eager to get it done. Before that, I would like to extend the offer of an interview with our HR department to you, on Scarborough station at 19:00, Newcastle time. If this is not convenient to you for any reason, you are welcome to negotiate another date. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person!

This is TerryMcGinnis,I am on route to NewCastle System,

Welcome gentlemen to the BOWEX family!
Following a satisfactory interview and induction exam, I am pleased to offer you the post of Trainee Captain. The job will be based aboard your current vessel. Although Scarborough Station is our Head Quarters, most Trade is now handled by our new station Kings Cross in the New London system.
Your duties and responsibilities will be to ensure that your ship is commanded well, safely and without any infringements on any of the laws of Bretonia (except of course those Garlic eaters the Gallians, the cross dressing Mollys, the uncivilised Corsairs, the Tree Huggers Gaians and our nemesis the brainless, drunken sirens, the Reavers!).
Your supervisors will be Stew Wolfe and Jan Peters, they will be responsible for your day to day duties. If you have any problems you can also speak to Mr Andrew Peterson, the Trade Combine Manager.
You will be entitled to four weeks' holiday in every year, in addition to the normal statutory entitlement, of which no more than two weeks may be taken consecutively. The holiday year runs from 01. September to 31. August.
Finally, I would just like to say that I hope that you will accept this offer and that you will have a long and happy association with us at Borderworlds Exports. In the meantime, you may wish to review the setup of our Transport Fleet
If you wish to discuss any aspect of this offer, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Greetings old freinds. I have since retired from my job here at Bowex but I have grown weary of the boring life on New London. I miss the open vastness of space and the convoy missions. I am hereby requesting reinstatment of my position if you will so graciously have me.

- What is your full name? Johnathan Matthews
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have? My last place of employment was here actually, except it was run by an older guy.
- To what division are you applying? Trading and Shipping
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?Retirement got boring. I miss the excitement of open space.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
I try and assist as best as I can. They may be a rival company, but in essense commerce is important to any nation's economy, and if trade is disrupted the consequenses can be dire
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
I stare at it confused. Why is it croaking? Does it think it is a frog? I imagined the gallics to a bit more civilized than that.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers? They should be banished to the nether realms obviously.
From: Mr. James Barnes, Director Trade Combine Division. To: Johnathan Matthews cc: Andrew Peterson, Trade Manager, Richard Farbridge, ExSec Manager, Miss Kiriko Hidamari, ExSec Director Topic: Reinstatement as Trade Captain.
Dear Johnathan
It would be a pleasure to have you back as a Trade Captain, we can always use an extra pair of hands during these troubling times, what with the War with Gallia and all.
Andrew speaks very highly of you, so there's no need for an interview.
Just to update you on a few things that may have changed since you retired from shipping; most Trade is now handled by our new station Kings Cross in the New London system, we also have a supply contract for the Colonial Authority station, Port Talbot, which is orbiting planet Sprague in the Snowden system (Omega-3)
I'm sure you'll remember that your primary duties and responsibilities will be to ensure that your ship is commanded well, safely and without any infringements on any of the laws of Bretonia (except of course those Garlic eaters the Gallians, the cross dressing Mollys, the uncivilised Corsairs, the Tree Huggers Gaians and our nemesis the brainless, drunken sirens, the Reavers!).
If you have any problems speak to Mr Peterson, or any of the Supervisors; Stew Wolfe, Jan Peters, Mark Sanders or Eileen Porter, (I think you'll remember her).
You will be entitled to four weeks' holiday in every year, in addition to the normal statutory entitlement, of which no more than two weeks may be taken consecutively. The holiday year runs from 01. September to 31. August.
Finally, I would just like to reiterate that is an honor and a privilege to have such a distinguished space-farer, astronaut and Captain back in the Bowex fold and that you will have a long and happy association with us at Borderworlds Exports.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of this offer, please do not hesitate to contact me.
