Greetings, friends of the Omicron Supply Industries,
I would very much like you to consider this recruitment application. But let me first introduce myself. For those of you who never met me, the name's Kerrigan. Oniyuushi Kerrigan. My father was Libertonian, my mother was Kusarian, and I was born on Leeds. You could say, I was stateless from the very beginning. I left Leeds as soon I was capable of, and became a drifter for some years. I started smuggling the most dangerous routes. The more I felt lost and isolated from civilization, the more I felt myself. It was during the Nomads War, a time of change, but I had not interest whatsoever in that matter. I grew up away from all that.
Few years ago, I had piled up enough money to buy a "DL" Border Worlds Transport, and I felt my luck turning. I had my crew, and not so long after recruited my first employees, Sora Tokiha and Kenneth Monroe. A Kusarian and a Molly. Curious band or brothers. Like myself, they were pretty much stateless. We called ourselves the Eclipse Syndicate, and our creed was to smuggle everything we could to the most radical and dangerous groups in Sirius, in exchange for free-passage. It felt good being the boss for a moment. The only ennemies we had were the Corsairs, because we dealt mostly with the Hessians, back when Casablanca was still theirs. I'm pretty sure they forgot about us since then though. I personaly hold no grudge against them.
But then, on a profitable run to the Omicrons, my transport was attacked by Slomon K'Hara. I lost my ship, the cargo, and nearly my life. All four escorts were killed, including Kenneth Monroe, my underboss and dearest friend. May he rest in peace in heaven, where he's probably drinking whiskey with his molly deceased ancestors.
This was two years ago. The Eclipse Syndicate is pretty much dead, and I barely make a living with a kusarian Drone I bought some time ago. Now I figure it's time for a rebirth, and I'd very much like to join a company where my skills would be appreciated. I consider myself a decent trader, hell, even a good one. I've known Zoners for a long time now, and I consider myself pretty much a zoner in spirit. I hold OSI in great esteem, because I know it's because of you and every zoner there's still some places truly free in this reggedy universe.
And space is my home.
I expect to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Kerrigan

Dear Mr. Kelly,
Thank you for the quick reply. I sent the paperwork per requested. I wanted to let you know I purchased an Albatross transport and requested a proper Zoner passport off Gran Canaria. Though I don't want this to influence your final decision in any way, that's something I wanted to do for a long time.
To be blunt: this message did in no way influence our decicion, as the decicion was made even before we recieved your message. With that beeing said, I now have the pleasure of informing you of your decicion, which has been positive:
I am called VonWahlde; I'm a former transport pilot fur ALG Waste Disposal. My ship was recently made kaput, und I have been working in der Omicron systems mit die Zoners von Freeport 9, who have helped me get back an mein feet. I would very much like a chance to fly fur ein Zoner corporation. Currently, I am flying ein Armored Transport, und am low on funds, but I am working to change meinen life's lot. I have much experience with pirates, und usually escape them successfully, und I'm ready to take the next step in mein career. I look forvard to hearing from you.
Also, es tut mir Leid fur meine schlectes Anglisch. I am auch working on that.
Greetings, my name is John Rainsford. I am seeking employment in the Omicron Supply Industries Escort Wing. I believe you will find my skillset useful, as I have had 10 years of security experience with a small security firm operating out of Planet Manhattan. I never was one for politics, nor a fan of the prospect of imminent war between these "houses" destined to repeat the bloody past for all of time. I have always been of the opinion that "The Universe begins and ends with every man", which is why I chose to move my family to Gran Carina; as far away from the houses as I could afford. Now, however, I find myself in need of a job. Combined with my experience qualifications, I hold a degree in military science from the University of Liberty. I am in possession of a "Hawk" class fighter, and hope that you might be able to provide a more suitable ship for escort duty until I am able to afford a ship with fewer...holes in it... I hope you will find me more than capable of performing the tasks desired. If you choose to contact me, my S.K.Y.P.E Protocol is theconnery. Thank you for your consideration.
