Konnichiwa Shinshiro-san!
I'm very pleased to see that you've decided to apply for a position in the Paramilitary of the GMG! After our brief meeting at Aomori, I had a feeling that you'd fit perfectly in the Guild. Let me be the first to congratulate you, recruit Okuda Shinshiro! Welcome to the GMG, guild-citizen! If you utilize S.K.Y.P.E. software, drop me a line and I'll give you access to our secure communication channels.
You may go to the Fujisawa Mining Facility in Okinawa to pick up your Karasu, or perhaps one of the civilian line ships you've flown before. If you could survive for an entire year piloting the Hawk, I'm sure you'll do just fine in any ship you decide to fly. Personally, I enjoy the gracefulness of the Eagle.
I'm sorry to hear that your father passed away. My condolences to you and your family. If you'd like, you may access any records we have regarding your father's death. Perhaps some new information can shed some light on his mysterious passing.

Name:Ben "BigBen" Meddows Age:36 Previous Occupation:Deep Space Engineering Transport pilot, DSE Mining ship pilot in Tremont Mining Fleet, Been Transporting goods between Liberty and Kusari.
Background: I was born on California Minor. I can't even remember when that was. Ohh wait. I can. Exactly 35 years ago. I guess. Huh, never mind. My parents were simple people, hard working to get everything for their little son , me. I have to admit I was no big shot either. Just a normal boy, going to school, always getting good grades, well depending on what you call good, but I was no more from the others ... except the fact that I was always at least 20 cm above everyone. I used to be the tallest in the class. That didn't change in high school even and I got my nickname, "Big Ben" cause of this.
After finishing all my studies, I wanted to fly! Like most young people do. I was working in a bar as a barboy for a while, just until I got enough to buy myself a small freighter. After that, things went a bit different. Spending some time flying around, I met quite a few traders who always gave me a bit of work, and a bit of cash as well. Later on, I was accepting trade contracts from whoever payed better. However this was just one way to make a living, but at that point I didn't care about the rest. Only until I had enough to buy another ship. This time I wanted to go for a big one, to match myself. That's why I chose a Mastodon-class transport. But whit this ship, I didn't want to just run around for everyone. I started looking for a job. Ohh I forgot to mention that I was practicing to be a stand up comedy artist. However, that was just a hobby and couldn't make a living from it.
As I said I started to look for a job. I wanted to stay in or around Liberty. I got accepted into Deep Space Engineering and was working there, even if it was just a short period of around half a year, because DSE got "reconstructed" and the new ideas didn't really fit my view of what a job for me.
When I left DSE, I've sold my Mastodon as well and started looking for a different job, where I can learn something new and can be useful for a company. Since I've been working in Kusari for DSE before, I took a look around Kusarian companies, but didn't really like their ways of work. And then I found the GMG recruitment fliers on a billboard. The job looked interesting and I headed to Aomori with the first ship heading that way.
Division Choice(s):Paramilitary, Transport Reason(s) for choosing to join GMG|:A large "company" with a lot of possibilities and a chance for a nice payment. Also has a stable background and these things make it interesting. Reason(s) for choosing to join the division(s) you picked? Commanding Transport ships is what I did most of my life, and I think I'm good at it. For the Paramilitary part, back in DSE, I used to escort convoys on my Spatial and wish to continue for gathering more experience.

O-Hayou gozaimasu Meddows-san,
Well we are very pleased that one from DSE would like to come and work for us. We've had plenty of time gettng to know DSE, it's policies and the work ethics of their employees thanks to the JG that's nearing completion on our space. With your experience with ships and Kusari proper we certainly think you'll find a great home here in GMG. Welcome aboard Meddows-san, at Aomori you'll receive the paper work needed for the Trade Division as a representative and at Fujisawa you'll begin being tested as a recruit.
Name: Amaya Tanaka
Age: 22
Previous Occupation (Leave blank if you have not been employed before): Rice Farmer
Background: There isn't really anything notable about my life, my parents were Rice Farmers, and I used to haul their rice to other areas, so I have some decent experience with a ship, although I'm not a very good pilot, I've never actually been in a "dog-fight" except for that one time when that Outcast tried to steal the rice. Well, I think I'm getting off track here.
Division Choice(s): N/A I'm not really good at much, so I'm willing to take whatever I can get.
Reason(s) for choosing to join GMG|: Well to be honest, I don't really have many, I guess It's that I don't want to be stuck farming for the rest of my life, and space has always been intriguing to me, I like to fly ships, but I don't really want to work for a house or house affailiated company either, I'd prefer to join an independant company like the GMG, whilst they don't work for a house, they're near house space.
Reason(s) for choosing to join the division(s) you picked? N/A

O-hayou gozaimasu Roy-san,
It is so nice when we have applicants approach us early in their lives. The earlier you begin your career the earlier you will begin a name for yourself. The Sigmas are frontier systems, Roy-san, a dangerous yet exciting place to work, full of limitless accolades waiting for you in the future.
I see you are a son of Liberty, no less. You will find some of your fellow Libertonians working with us. I am becoming quite partial to our Libertonian employees, such energy and enthusiasm, all of whom are eager to prove themselves capable of training with our vets and testing themselves against the high skills of the Outcasts or the sheer numbers of the Corsairs. My hope is that each and every single one succeeds.
Well, Roy-san, you will granted entry into our Paramilitary Division as a recruit. You may pick yourself up a Karasu or one of the civilian class ships. If you prove yourself worthy of bearing the GMG badge you will be promoted to Ensign and given access to our prized Kaichou. Please head on over to Fujisawa in Okinawa for registration, as the barracks of our Paramilitary Division it will be your new home. Welcome aboard.
Arigato and sayonara,
Guild Master Raikoke
