Miss Valeria,
A few days ago I was having an interesting conversation with Commander Cahoone. At some point, she mentioned having an acquaintance who was in need of a better job. Here I thought that more money was available on the bounty boards, but I do suppose a Naval paygrade is much more consistent.
Would you be interested in having a job here? You might have to suffer eight painful hours in an Executioner, but after that things are pretty nice. I'll bet the Admiralty will also want to run numerous background checks, from what Natalie said ... keep in mind though, this message wasn't sent officially.
Sincerely,
Lieutenant Commander Harrison,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.

Greetings Commander,
So Natalie told you about me? Interesting I never thought she was listening me and I am even more surprised that she mentioned me. She is trying to help me? I have to say I am flattered!
Anyways, straight to the point. You know I am a mercenary and I think you also know that this is profitable business though the cash flow is not steady as I want it and as I need it right now. I have to be dumb not to accept the offer so I guess we can work on me hopping in those ship of yours. As for my background it surely is not very bright. Though I have no intentions to link it to my new life. I bet you will need me to send some resume about me?

Alkaeva,
Well you know how Cahoone can be sometimes. Don't take it too personally if she didn't respond to you. And yes, that is correct. In order for you to proceed in this, you'll need to fill out a form here. With luck you don't mind taking tests, but fortunately it isn't too long.
Sincerely,
Lieutenant Commander Harrison,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.
