*curses himself for starting the process while still at work but it is too late to cancel it now*
"If I can just crack it, maybe they will finally see my potential, that I am not just the low level network admin they have taken me for all these years. I'll show them all."
*after reading the recruitment announcement, begins typing response*
I have been working for this Liberty shipping company for years as a low level system admin. I have tried to advance myself but seem to help back time and again by these young, hot shot computer nerds that cant do anything original. They simply use the tools me and my generation spent our lives creating, modifying, honing, specializing, perfecting... I have had it. I have my own Camera freighter, no family to speak of and no ties to lose.
One of my goals is show these so called "legitimate" megacorps that there is such a thing as justice. I know that the kind of mistreatment I have been shown is not isolated to this company. There are millions of disgruntled workers just like me, many for the same reasons. I want them to hurt. I want their self-esteem to suffer as mine has since I began my career here.
As to how I can contribute to the cause, I am pretty fair with words and have been able to participate in corporate negotiations, at a lower level, of course... *shakes his head as he thinks of all the promotions that should have been his*. I am proficient with smaller freighters and have attained a small fortune running passengers to New Berlin and hauling diamonds back to Manhattan. I would donate it all to your organization if it would buy me a chance to make a difference somewhere, to be more than I have allowed myself to become. To take back my own destiny! I have piloted medium to heavy fighters but have had no experience with heavier ships. I am willing to learn. Give me the chance I seek!
*does not attempt to re-encrypt message to match what he read but does take the time to encrypt his response well enough to be missed by "lower level" hackers who may, possibly see this among the myriad of other satcom messages...*
*smirks to himself and smiles slyly, thinking...* "good luck you snot-nosed corporate security morons!"
