Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727

- What is your full name?
Horatio Fairfax Rodney Alfred Bickerton.

- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I have an accredited pilots licence (Father insisted I learn in order to more conveniently navigate the estate). I also have a degree in Theoretical History from the University of Cambridge, Trumpington College.

Beyond that, I don't see how prior experience should be particularly necessary. How hard could it be fly a trade ship? I simply point out where the thing should go and the crew do whatever manual labour is necessary to make it happen.

- To what division are you applying?
Trade Combine.

- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Regrettably my blasted doctor insisted that I was ineligible for service to House and Queen during The War, primarily on account of my chronic bone spurs and wooden bladder. Thankfully, they've recently cleared up, so it's only correct that I do my patriotic duty now.

My father (Sir Johnathon Orson Reginald Aldred Bickerton, 81st baronet of Coleridge) advised that a commercial captaincy with Borderworld Exports would be a sufficient posting for a gentleman of breeding who was looking to establish himself in the affairs of state.

- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
Why, that's rather none of my business. If those fellows hadn't wanted to be attacked by pirates, they should've hired better help.

- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
I had rather thought that there was a tenuous peace these days. Should garçon have his nose bent out of shape, I'll remind him that the chaps in the Armed Forces are ready and willing to give him another good rapping unless he cuts that nonsense out!

- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
I would have supposed that this would have been a bit of an academic question at this point, given Glasgow's lamentable condition. You didn't evacuate the rascals beforehand, did you?

- Were you referred to Bowex by a Bowex) or BMM- employee?
I'm rather afraid I don't much affiliate with 'employees'.
