Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727

- What is your full name?

Michael Jay Feury

- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?

For the past seven years I have plied the trade of an independent freight pilot across Sirius, based out of New London's spaceports. I have owned and flown a number of heavy cargo vessels, ranging from a B-27-E Clydesdale to a CT-39X Albatross and a Series-DL class Borderworlds Transport. I also have significant experience in administration, handling cargo contracting and shipping manifests.

- To what division are you applying?

I hope to fly within Bowex's esteemed Shipping Division

- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?

I have experienced firsthand both the riches and dangers of the shipping trade, and I realise that it is a profession far larger than any one pilot and his cargo. I amassed my own fortunes for five long years to obtain a vessel that was my pride and joy, only to have it blown out from under me on the whim of a passing ne'er-do-well having a bad day. In a corporation such as Bowex, I could look forward to a steady income and reliable friends and the safety net of knowing my eggs aren't, as the saying goes, all in one basket.

- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?

What? What do you mean, "do I put sugar in my tea?"? Of course not, that would ruin it!
On a serious note, if I were to witness a Gateway vessel under heavy Hessian fire, I would instantly jump to my emergency channels and direct a maximum-strength, highly urgent distress call on all available secure frequencies.

... Directly to Scarborough Stations' finance department. If those two faced, dirty-dealing criminals are stupid enough to have their ships blown up; well then, we'll make them pay a premium to replace them, eh?

- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?

I wouldn't bother wasting my time with him - surely he'd already be turning about if not in full retreat at the mere sight of another vessel! Cheese-eating surrender monkeys, and all. Ahem.

- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?

Wasn't that a kids' show on the New London networks? The one with all the blood and the...
No, wait, that doesn't sound right. Perhaps it was a horror film. Vicious things, anyway, but I guess they'd do for a guard dog in a pinch!

- Were you referred to Bowex by a Bowex) or BMM- employee?

No. I have had my eye on Bowex for some time, but have had only passing encounters with its employees and affiliates.
