Greetings, Junker brothers!
Some of you may have met me already, some of you I have not managed to get my hands on so far.
My name is Johnathan "John" Deez, a proud Junker like yourselves, and the Captain of the ships "Bucket", "Recycler" and "Tincan".
A few days back I had already brought to you the matter of a slanderer and impostor, posing as a Congress-Hired individual.
Anyway, to the matters at hand - I'd like to express my wish to join the Junker Congress. I have made quite a living for myself so far,
managed to get a little further than only scrapping for the bare necessities to simply survive out in the wilds. However, I believe in
applying to join the Congress I could help moving forward the Junkers as a whole. I am convinced that only a united Junkers will be able to
achieve the respect we are undoubtedly due. Every day, Junkers are being looked down upon by even the lowest individuals known to Sirius,
and I will not have it.
I may not have found a sponsor among your ranks as of yet, but I believe that this message may be the first step in gaining your trust
and respect as fellow Junker. Please find attached my history up to this point and take it as token of my trust in you.
- 791 A.S.: Born in Pequena Negra, Texas (on Family Salvage Frigate "Bucket").
- 803 A.S.: At age 12 assigned to maintenance and salvage disassembly on the "Bucket".
- 812 A.S.: Successfully completed small salvage fighter "Tincan" at age 21.
- 812 A.S.: Set out on the "Tincan" to find new sources of salvage abroad and gaining experience.
- 816 A.S.: Salvaged CODENAME weaponry in the Omicrons and Sigma systems. Failed to mount.
- 817 A.S.: Profited from the Liberty-Rheinland war, salvaged large ship-sections and weapons.
- 818 A.S.: Successfully mounted CODENAME weapons. Returned to "Bucket" having proven myself, taking over operations on the ship.
- 819 A.S.: Used the opportunity of high-grade salvage at the Bering Gate.
- 822 A.S.: Returned to Texas, assembled salvaged parts into a gunship, christened "Recycler".
Addendum: In recent months I have witnessed multiple Navy-Nomad encounters and managed to sneak valuable scrap away from those battle sites. I have made a few friends among the pirates of Liberty space and have worked profitably with them by supplying ammunition and moving dropped cargo. Law-enforcement never suspected a thing.
This concludes my transmission. I hope you'll invite me to travel with you so you can get to know me a little better, and maybe one of you deems me worthy of sponsorship.
