The application form was ignored on purpose, it seems.
My name is Sanada Junko. I served in Kusari Naval Forces during a fair part of my existence. I did participate to the Kusari/Bretonia war. Before I resigned from active duty, my rank was Nito Kaisa; Commander.
One of your employees keeps wiring me Sirian credits while refusing to hire me to protect him, which could be seen as a grave offence. I am not some kind of parasite living off what others earn. That employee, the captain of the 'MacGregor' transport apparently, suggested I should join what he called 'ExSec'; Bowex security, perhaps.
I may not know much about Bretonia, but I'm experienced. And beautiful as well. I will protect your assets with dedication.
I am the song of fury ready to serve.
Do not delay.

Dear Ms Sanada
I won't hesitate to say this is one of the more unusual and unorthodox applications we've ever received. We'd like to invite you in for an interview to discuss how we're going to proceed forward; this can be arranged to take place at any Bowex branch office that is convenient for you (Newark in Liberty; Bonn in Rheinland; Narita Outpost in Kusari or any Bowex station / Bretonian planet).
I would also stress that despite your extensive experience, we would also expect an adherence to company protocol should an offer of employment be made: using the provided forms, for example. Beyond that, I'm greatly anticipating reading our agent's assessment, and hope you'll be flying alongside Bowex convoys shortly. We will also contact Mr Aaron Clarke of the MacGregor regarding a reference.

- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Janitor, I can scrub faster than anyone else in the realm! Turns out I can also fly a spaceship with my mop! Is that not impressive?
- To what division are you applying?
Shipping Combine
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
I must only be employed by Bretonia's finest! Oh and also, the pay for being a Janitor is somewhat terrible.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
Containing my laughter would have to come first, If I manage to do that then I would likely step in and help the poor bloke out if things get hairy for him.
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
Remind him he forgot his white flag and call in the local coppers to lock 'im up.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
Dodgy things I must say, I once got a fright from one whilst flossing. Terrible.
- Were you referred to Bowex by a Bowex) or BMM- employee?
Nay.

- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I was a freelancing trader for a few years or so before I signed contract with Bowex. After more then a year of being an independent contractor, I've decided to become a full time employee.
- To what division are you applying?
Shipping Combine
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Since I've worked for Bowex for quite a while, I'm confident that this company is a reliable contractor and employer.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
Gateway ship under attack by pirates? No way! Probably it's a trap, and I'll fly away from that encounter while transmitting information about accident to nearest police or Armed Forces vessel!
...well, in case if it wasn't a trap...I don't really think Gateway convoy has any chance to survive before any backup arrives. Oh, yeah, unfortunately, we weren't able to help. NeuralNet malfunction or something.
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
Uhh...well, I don't even know what to say. Enemy transport which is in sensor range of my convoy and seconds away from entering into our firing range dares to broadcast something on open channel? And it's not like we're not ready for hostile encounter. Since we're on enemy territory, we would've been prepared for something like that anyway.
Of course, if odds are overwhelming...why should I waste my time speaking with enemy? I would've been busy getting out of there while contacting any available BAF vessel on the issue.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
Never heard about them before.

Dear Mr Freeman
We've checked with Trade Manager Peterson and he's given you a sterling reference - in light of this and your prior experience, we're more than happy to transfer your contract status across to the main office. I assume you're already familiar with Bowex's operational procedures, but it may be helpful to go through our orientation process anyway.
Please report to Scarborough Shipment for transponder adjustment, briefing and assignment to your line manager.

- Where was your last place of employment ? What experience do you have ?
Well, I am an independent freighter captain, currently the proud owner of several small transports. As to experience, well lets just say I have certain star charts and connections that serve a cargo runner well.
- To what division are you applying ?Trade
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports ?
Strength in numbers as they say. Plus access a wider variety of legitimate cargo.
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians . What do you do and why ?
Nonchalantly continue on my way, Gateway is a competitor after all.
- [ b ] You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin . It croaks mockingly at you . What do you do and why ?[/ b ]
Ignore it, the Gauls aren't worth the time of time. Though I do have a few associates who could take care of such a frog.....
Failing that, sick the military on them
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers ?
Indifferent, experience has taught me to keep my opinions to myself.

- What is your full name?
"Heldorius" Frederic Amroth
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I was born with the lucky circumstances of dual citizenship. Through my mother I got the Liberty citizenship and through my fahter the Bretonian one. We lived on Cambridge till I went to University at the research station. Afterwards I started trading and discovered my passion for it. Until now I was not employed but worked as a Freelancer, travelling between Liberty and Bretonia and trading between Newcastle, New London and -Manhatten in New York.
- To what division are you applying?
The Shipping Divison, because that is where I found my profession and calling.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
I resigned my Liberty citizenship because I decided to embrace the bretonian culture and my fathers roots. I traded until I finally was able to buy my Shetland Bretonian Train and started trading other things like Gold ore. Soon afterwards I had an unplesant experience with a pirate and I came across a conwoy, who sent his escort (SecEx) to help me. Even If I had to pay the pirate in the end I got escorted to my destination and reached it without futher disturbance.
We talked during the journey and I became cconvinced to join Bowex (//and not just carry the Bowex ID)
- You happen across a Gateway convoy that is under attack by Red Hessians. What do you do and why?
I personally would help them by contacting the bretonian fleet and if being escortet by ExSec send them to help. We are all citizens of the Queen und lives should come first, even if they are competition. We are more than equiped to beat Gateway shipping on the trade market, we don't need unlawfull methods to do it.
- You encounter a corporate trader of Gallic origin. It croaks mockingly at you. What do you do and why?
I simply activate my com and give his positioon to the Queens Privateers.
- How do you feel about Glaswegian badgers?
I like Badgers, even if I have never seen one of the Glaswegian kind so I would like to meet one.
- Were you referred to Bowex by a Bowex) or BMM- employee?
