It had been a slow day in the recruitment office; the receptionist had seen only one or two people pass through the doors to the office, the janitor, and a suspicious little man who had been woefully unsuited to the military.
This was about to change.
With a violent thump, a man burst through the double doors of the office, moustache quivering. He was approximately thirty-five years old, but had all the bounce and enthusiasm of an 18 year old fresh recruit.
Swaggering confidently up to the desk, he smirked at the receptionist and winked before beginning to speak, quite loudly, in what can only be described as a stereotypical upper-class Bretonian accent:
"What ho my fine fellow?"
As the receptionist opened his mouth to speak he was abruptly cut off:
"Excellent! Now, I'm here to sign up for the good old Bretonian Armed Forces! Hand me that silly old application form and I'll fill it out in a jiffy, chap!"
Nursing a small headache, and not eager to continue 'talking' to the loud man, the receptionist hurriedly handed over all the necessary paperwork and pointed him to a table.
The man winked again, followed by a charming smirk before he stomped off down the hall to his table.
=============
Logan was pleased with how the receptionist had been. Quick, professional, quiet.
Smirking again, this time to himself, he sat about filling out the basic application form:
Name: Logan Amadeus Briggstock
Age: 36
Height: 6"2
Occupation: Freelance Trader
House of Origin(HoI): Bretonia (Planet New London)
Previous flight experience: Hundreds of hours flying various freighter craft, hundreds more in flight simulators for fighters and bombers
Your Background: Born on Planet New London, in a fairly well off area to a family of four. I was the oldest, and my three siblings are: Jessica (29) Martin (25) and Jonathon (23) I had a good enough childhood, we lived in a good area you see, and I eventually went to university on Cambridge, but I wasn't terribly good at all that, I yearned more for space. So, when I had the money, I bought my first freighter. (A battered old CSV if you can believe that!) I traded, then traded some more, until I could buy a proper Bretonian model, a lovely little Clydesdale. I've been trading back and forth since then, but when I heard about the Kusarian invasion I decided to come home and do my bit.
Having scribbled down his basic information, and part of his background, Logan thought for a moment about what else to add to his background, before deciding that would be enough and any more information required he could tell them about in his proper interview or whatever the process happened to be.
Giving a final nod to himself, he brought back the papers, shouted a final "Cheerio!" To the receptionist, and slunk back out into the New London rain.

As David walks trough the streets of London thinking about his future and what have been, he can clearly see the images of his house back on Leeds, his little daughter playing around and his wife was still alive.. Everyting was perfect back then, but then the war began and Kusari was at Leeds doorstep now we live in New London while my daughter is with my late wife's parents.....
suddenly his day dreaming was interrupted by an paper that flew into his face, he just realised what he had to do , He would join the Armed Forces and defend Bretonia so he and his daugther can have a proper life.. a good life in Bretonia.
Then he hurried to the recruitment centre.
The doors open to the recruitment center and a middle lenght man with dark brown hair and blue eyes walks in.
May i help you sir? - the recruit officer ask
Yeah, actually you can, where can i sign up for the armed forces - David says
And what is shall i call you? and do understand that not everybody is cut out for the military? - The recruit Officer says with a grin
My name is David Crowley * Handed him his ID papers* and that doesnt concern me, i will do what it takes to defend my homeland, so dont worry sir - David replied
Well then hot shot tell you what, go and sit down in the waiting room, then i'll get back to you - the recruit officer said.
While the recruit officer walked away he thought for himself... Hmm that fire in his eyes is at least a good sign, seems he got something to fight for.... The door to the main office closed and David sat down on a chair waiting to hear from the recruit officer.

The receptionist at the recruitment office looked quite a while at this strange man who entered.
Not very tall, something like unimpressive but somehow special.
He walked straight to him and just asked one simple question: "I want to join the Armed Forces, is that the place for my application?"
The receptionist quickly nodded and handed out the clipboard with the application form.
The applicant didn't need long time to fill it out.
And the recruitment officer found out, what made this man so special.
Born in the Rheinland territory on planet Stuttgart as the only child of a quite normal family of merchants....moved to Bretonia due to the war with Liberty.
His mother was killed during a pirate attack in Omega-7, he was raised only by his father who was strict to teach him how to fly a starship.
And the receptionist looked into this man's brown eyes and saw this relentless will, the will of passing all the tests that may come.... and so he walked out.

Attention recruits and cadets.
The Bretonia recruiting center will be closed until [color=#33CC00]12th september. If you are looking to join the primary fleet you should wait until we re-open the program at the mentioned date. Тhe reason for this is the huge accretion of the ensign slots for short period of time.
Thank you for the understanding.
