You know me well, we have met a lot of time before and since the gaul invasion forced us to leave our colonies on their own, I would like to find new goals for my ship and my crew.
If you could accept us into your ranks, please let us know.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION SIGNAL: STRONG LOCATION: PLANET GRAN CANARIA ENCRYPTION: LOW
*Signal source is shown to be coming from the nearby landed transport ship 'Mercurius'*
Greetings to the honorable OSI leadership!
I will not rob your time too much with my detailed life story. I am a freelancer. Captain of the Albatross class transport ship 'Mercurius'. I have travelled from one side of Sirius to the other and I have seen many things. From the painful look on a wounded soldier's face to the joy of a starving child when he gets a pack of food. I have seen the desperation on the faces of civilians being robbed by a handful of blokes. And I have also seen the same desperation on the faces of the robbers themselves.
That's why I think a transport ship is the most valuable of all. If every single person would get their daily dose of food and water there would be ten times less robberies. Not only in space but - more importantly - on the ground where the majority of people live. I've seen surplus food dumped into the garbage containers while a few systems away food is a desperately sought commodity. And many people have never even seen a roll of toilet paper! After all the years of traveling around I am sure that cargo space is more valuable than battleship turrets are.
I have my own ship with my own crew. Why would I like to join you?
A few months ago I have made a promise to a few dozens of people. Honest workers and unemployed scientists mainly. They had no perspective and I offered them the chance for proper life conditions. I have utterly failed and so I could not keep my promise. I'm still in touch with some of them but after unfortunate events most of those people had to flee into the border worlds in hope for a better life. I've never had an untroubled sleep since the day I failed those people. I MUST find them and keep my promise!
As for the money. I need it just like everyone else. I need it to patch the holes on the Mercurius after a nasty asteroid hit or a long journey through radiative systems. I need it to pay my crew and to buy the cargo I need to deliver. Occasionally I contact my miner friend from the IMG to buy some unrefined metal ore. Transporting these seems to be the most profitable business today. Though I have my own money reserves I know money alone doesn't worth anything. It must be used where it is needed the most!
I would be honoured to join Omicron Supply Industries since I believe you are the masters of cargo distribution not only in the Omicrons but in entire Sirius. You have a flawless reputation among all of the Houses and your pilots know the route through even the hardest asteroid belts of the edge worlds. I believe our philosophies are very similar and still we have a lot to share with each other.
Hello, my callsign is Jirachi. For too long I've been trading independently without banners or a sense of purpose. I feel like I'm missing out on some excellent opportunities, and that's why I'm contacting you. I'm a Zoner through and through, and it would be my honor to represent your company when I sail my ship. I'm hard-working, outgoing, and I can trade effectively independently or within a group environment.
Thank you for your time and your consideration, and know that it would be my pleasure to work and fly with you. My contact information will be attached to the end of this transmission. Good day.
My name is Jonathan Simpson and i would like to apply for a position within OSI's Transportation Department. I shall tell you about myself before we go any further, I am 28 years old and am 5"11, Medium length black hair and brown eyes.
My real journey in life started when i was a young boy living on Planet Manhattan who was forced to live with his grandmother as my parents had split and my mother abandoned me and my father was busy with his Naval Career so as expected he was never around.
After many years my father returned and took me back but.....he was.......different.....so bitter and angry and nothing i ever did pleased him, I was always wrong and a failure in his eyes after he returned. Another couple of years went by with which i put up with daily beatings and starvation from the one man who was supposed to protect me, after which i was put into a scarcely funded state welfare system of which i remained in until i became of age to leave.
Upon leaving the care system i also left school and took up a 6 day a week job making cardboard boxes for fruit to be packed in (I love grapes), I proceeded to do this for 5 years to save enough to buy my very own Camara Freighter, with which i started to fly around hoping for a better life than the one i had recently left behind.
After another 2 years of working for myself flying between different ports and planets i had saved up enough to buy my first mining ship, a Hegemon. I decided to sell the camara so that i could properly outfit the Hegemon to cater to other transporters who would be looking for a miner to fill their cargo bays full of ore in exchange for a nice chunk of money, after doing this it did not take long and i had enough money to buy another Hegemon so that i was able to travel between them and commit to more customers.After i had earned plenty of money i decided that i missed flying my transport ship.
Now we arrive at me standing here hoping for a job in your glorious company as a transporter, as already mentioned i have my own funds with which i could buy and outfit a ship suited to this role, so i look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Regards

To All recent applicants. My Deepest Apologies with the late replies.
The Recent shift of the nearby Jump holes, although only minor, was enough to disrupt our communications network, your application requests have only just made it through to me.
To Wichita
Although you say we know you and have met you, i personally have not, if you could give me any names of OSI members you have met just as a formality. This will not effect your application. I will forward the Paperwork to your neural net.
To Captain Thomas
Its not often i get an application from one with such Noble intentions such as yours, although i feel you may be misinformed about our flawless reputation. Not sure if your aware but OSI is not welcome in the space of Rheinland. None the less, i will send the paperwork direct to you, and i hope OSI may be humble in helping you achieve your goals.
To Alias Jirachi
We often become the home for lone transport captains such as yourself, and i am more then happy to give you the opportunity to apply, the application forms will be sent to your neural net.
To Mr Simpson
Its not uncommon for OSI to get applications from people with troubled pasts, but its very uncommon for us to get one from someone whos been as succsessful as you have, to earn enough with just a Camara to purchase a Hegamon is no simple feat. As such i am pleased to extend to you the application forms needed for OSI and look forward to your replies. ((Buddy, it says you do not accept PMs on the forums, so i will add you on skype to send you the required link))
To Mr Harris
Thank you for your interest, the appropriate paperwork will be sent to your neural net.
To Wichita
The Directors and I are impressed with your Forms, however i will need to contact you personally about one of the questions before you are accepted. So i will be sending a S.K.Y.P.3 Request soon. As this is needed in order to add you to our channels anyways.
To Captain Thomas
