Wandering the Sirius Sector, searching for a place to call home and trying to make some money along the way, I stumbled across an Infoboard, which invited me to join your corporation. It looked interesting enough so I decided to give it a shot. Growing up alone and without luxuries many of you take for granted, I wss very intimidated by your luxurious lodging.
When the young woman, who was more beautiful than any girl I had ever seen, greeted me and gave me the application form, I was seriously thinking about just leaving.
But I decided to give it a shot because if I wasn't accepted I'd be in no worse position than I was in now. I took a look at it and easily filled in the first couple questions.
What my name was:
Malcolm "Mal" Fillion
Then my age:
32 years
The next one was tricky seeing as I was an orphan and had no idea where I came from so I just put down unknown.
Most importantly they wanted to know why MÃRSK should hire me and at first I couldn't think of any reason why they should but then a few things came to my mind:
-Since I'd had to make a living somehow, I had been trading nearly my entire life.
-I had amassed a great fortune in my days of nonstop trading.
-Always being a loner has taught me how to deal with other people, friendly or not.
-I enjoy being able to visit parts of the Sirius Sector that others cannot because of their affiliations and knowing I have someone to back me up when people try to harm me.
Second to last it asked what my communications adress was:
sven.welsch
And lastly they wanted to know if the were allowed to use my application form in the future:
I have no problem with it so I clicked Y.
I brought brought the tablet back to the amazingly attractive woman in good concience and feeling confident.

be in order, small side notes I saw.

as you have been growing up alone, snarking your way into society,
beating the negative spiral by working hard, yet you seem to be nervous to be here,

She was nice. Interesting, how easily I forgot about what was I actually doing here. Cute in face, and curvesome body. I started to like it here. As i entered the crewing room, i found myself almost by her seat.
"What?"
"The tablet sir" she said. "Please take it and fill it up."
"B-but of course..." slightly embarrased i took the tablet from her hands, took a seat she offered me, and took a close eye on it. After a while i started to fill up the lines on the display.
Name & Surname:

Why should Maersk hire you?
- I need a job and a profit and you need new blood to make more profit. Accept me, and i promise you we all gonna harvest from it. In massive way of meaning.
- Im kinda used to fly cargo transports and ships as whole. I dont need any lectures, and i quickly get familiar with a ship im supposed to fly with.
As i scrolled down the display, two new lines to fill apeared.

Sitting in the bar, having a few drinks, Stross was having quite the day on Manhattan.
Feeling bored of his drink, he looked up at the job board and looked through the ads there.
"Kill so and so... capture so and so... destroy so and so... what's this?" Stross stopped and re-read the last job on the board, "Maersk, huh? I think I've found myself a job.
Stross got up and walked drunk to his ship and flew around till he found a building that appeared to be the right place.
Finally getting into the building, he found a receptionist who wasn't particularly that good looking, but also not ugly either, just very plain.
The receptionist looked up and welcomed him, "So, what are you here for today, sir?"
"I'm, uh, here from the job board," Stross replied, not so smoothly.
"Ah, yes! Here's an application, please fill it out and bring it back to me when you're done, sir." She then handed Stross a tablet and he sat down to fill it out.
Name&Surname: Brother Nolan "Pessimist" Stross
Age&Birthplace: 21 ----- _____________
Stross stopped for a second and tried to remember. Where was I born... seriously, what? How do I not recall?
He tapped his nose with his index finger and then smiled. Ah, yes, how could I forget?
21 ----- Bethlehem Station, Pennsylvania system
Why should Maersk hire you? I have extensive and advanced education in flight of transports with a class A license. I'm friendly, and enjoy making conversation with those I don't know well. I believe I can help other traders, even if they are not particularly friendly with me, and also help others within our workplace with directions, or what-not. Besides, I love flyin'.

Smiling, Stross felt good about this decision, and he handed the tablet back to the receptionist with a nod and made his way back to the bar.
"Time for another drink... Bartender! Fetch me a calico45."
A few men in suits come near you and take you from the bar,
back to the office of the crewing agency, where I awaited you.
Mister .. Stross I asume, while nodding at the two men

Mister Stross, of the age of 21 true independent by birth
so to say, hopefully not too independent,
Hmm, I say while sniffing up the alcohol vapour from you
I do like to point to you our policy on alcohol and drug usage,
but to come to the point of why you're here, your C.R. and your P.P.R. seem to
be in order, nothing out of the ordinary.
so, to summon your application, born on a Station, flying cargo ships quite some
time already, but chatty according to yourself, being helpfull is good as long as it
benefits this organisation if you get what I mean.
