--- Message Begins ---
Good morning gentleman...
My name is Creed Lambard. I'm in the secondary fleet for a couple of months now. Being fairly new (23yo) and having little dogfight experience, and being from Zoner origin, thus having a good knowledge of the Omegas and Omicrons, I was assigned to the logistics group, given a X-Shuttle, and since then I'm hauling needed resources from several Freeports and Gran Canaria to Order bases and planet Akabat. But haul goods around is what I've done with my dad in his Dromedary since I was 12yo, so I've applied for a transfer to a fighter pilot role, but with no success.
I've encountered a few 141 pilots in this time, and you guys caused me a very good first impression, fighting the nomads on the most dangerous places - one of you pilots, that I can't recall the callsign, invested alone against a wing of 2 fighters a assassin and a gunboat to lead them away from me so I could escape.
Is that kind of work that I admire and makes me want to join your ranks...
Next the recruitment form:

Chapter 2: Pilot's Personality information
I was born on Grand Canaria, from Zoner parents, as stated earlier. Since my 12 yo I was used go go with my dad on his trading runs around Omegas and Omicrons in his Dromedary. At 16 I was already a private pilot and was used to pilot the Dromedary while my dad was asleep/resting/doing another thing. At 18 I started to do runs by myself, 'cause my dad had some health issues then. But it was two years ago that things changed. We were attacked by Nomads in Omicron Theta. I was on the controls and ran like hell to the jumphole back to Omega-41, managing to escape but suffering heavy damage. And, worst of all, my already ill dad had a hearth attack and died while I was attemping an emergency docking at Freeport 5.
I've been supporting my mom in Gran Canaria since then. Until she too passed to the afterlife six months ago. Thats when my toughts started heading to the Order direction. I had retrofitted that Dromedary, but after a few runs I given up 'cause I was always looking to that spot were my dad was lying when I found him. I guessed "What the hell, lets give it a try!" and hicked a ride on a OSI whale headed to Akabat and joined the ranks.
But then, as I lacked a more solid combat background, and 'cause of my experience as a trader, I was assigned to a X-Shuttle freighter and ordered to haul supplies to the Order. Thats not what I wanted.
Please, don't get me wrong, the logistics divisions are the base of our structure, without the much needed - and difficult to get - supllies in this region we have no chance, it is vital to the Order survival. But I already supplied some Order bases and Akabat as a Zoner, and had the liberty to do other runs as I pleased. Thats not the motive I entered the Order.
---- Streghts and Weakenesses
I guess my greater strenght is the trading experience. I know fairly well this regions, as compared to member of other origins. But the most important one is the will to erradicate the Nomads. Thats constantly on my mind. Even in a freighter, when I saw nomad fighters without assassins or gunboats I attacked. I've already killed four fighters in the X-Shuttle (it has a nice firepower and good shields and speed), 2 in Kappa, 1 in Delta and one in Omicron Mu, scouting near the orbit of Akabat! This one didn't even saw me coming!!
I imagine that my most relevant weakeness is my little experience in combat, but I guess riding with you guys I can overcome that in little time!
--- How can I serve 141?
Well, you can rest assured I will give 110% dedication to the cause. Death to all Nomads and nomad-lovers!!!
--- Attachment Ends ---
Well, here you go. I hope you find me worthy of joining your ranks.
One last thing: I know that the Order is not in the best of shapes these days, and I like to help anyway possible. If you authorize me, I've already arranged to exchange my dad's Dromedary for a brand new Osprey class Long Range Escort. Thats a fine product of Zoner technology, and can be of great use in a Scout wing with other Order ships, for an instance. As I have my own ship, I guess its wise to save resources, no?
Thanks for your time and attention. Hope to hear from you soon. Best regards...
