"Hmm, well, you certainly know how to flatter a girl."
And that SMILE
"Well then... Mink. I happen to have a place free in the R&D division... My old Inquisitor died at the hands of an Outcast Dreadnought, lost one of my battlecruisers with him.
Fancy the place?"
She paused a second.
"Actually... you can tell me over dinner. Apartment 3, deck 6. You can pick me up at Half 7."
With that she stood, and before he could move or say a word, swept out of her office, her dress and high heels sweeping for a second, and then she was gone, the door swinging slowly.
He relaxes back into the chair with a sigh, watching the waterwork behind her desk. After a moment he stands, looking around the office as he leaves. As he comes out the door he checks his watch, there was some time before the "date" so he decided to go freshen up. Shoving his way through the crowd at the front he exits, glancing around for a shuttle.
Some say that he is allergic to a fungus found only between the toes of Corsairs,
and that he is oblivious to 98% of Liberty Law. All we know is... He's called the Busdriver!

Re: Employment
Sorry for the late reply, my last vessel was blown out from under me. Ive just now got back to friendly territory.
As for my Professional Background, I was a captain of a Kusari discovery vessel for the past 20 years. Do to funding cuts and the loss of my vessel I have been demoted and out of a job.
I would like to join your Exploration division
I understand the purposes of IMG to be just what it name says, a company that mines without the corporations running everything. The ability to go exploring and not having the threat of losing a job or being attacked by another military
What I bring to the guild is 20 years of exploration, the ability to command, and the wisdom to know when to back down from a fight.
Eagerly awaiting a reply,
Former Commander Nemo

To whom it may concern regarding employment at the IMG. My name is Adam Spire and I've been everything from a fighter pilot to Miner, Cargo Transporter, to Freelancer, exploring systems as far as Omicron 91, all up to Omicron Alpha. I have made a good standing relation with several factions, traded at different ports and come to the aid of one or two transports in need of assistance during a pirate attack.
My family comes from the Colorado, or rather, I was born there. My mother was originally from the Hamburg system while my father, now a repair mechanic, hailed from the New London system. Before the war broke out we settled in the Colorado system and made a pretty good living, yet it was time for me to leave. Taking odd jobs and getting my hands into the dirt of hard work and effort, I've kept myself educated as to some of the tricks of the trade. I've flown ships from the StarTracker, Rhino, and have been the captain of a small crew aboard a Mammoth Transport. Due to increased pirate activity and safety concerns, I am currently I am flying a Raven Talon.
I will admit, I have experience and patience in all the fields your organization is hiring but I am not the best. Working and fighting alone has been a time consuming and costly endeavor, forcing me take rather small cargo runs on slightly safer routes to avoid pirates, Outcasts and the Cartel.
I have recently befriend one of the Captain's flying transport runs under the flag of the IMG and he's told me a lot of good things. Mainly how the IMG stands up for each other and their trading imports and exports in and around Liberty and beyond. When I heard and saw first hand, at a distance, the guile and fortitude the IMG held to stand up for its members, I was nearly hooked. Having freelanced for far too long, and seen the benefits of family, community and strong business relationships as well as supporting the locals, I would like to offer my services into the Independent Miners Guild.
I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Adam Spire

Great to hear from you again Mr. Nemo,
I expected you to say that you'd wish to join under exploration, but I had to make sure. R&D (in which Exploration is a sub-division of) is currently looked after by Syana Kyan, however we haven't seen her for the past couple of days - I assume she's out on an expidition somewhere... Nevertheless, with 20 solid years of exploration experience and a level head I am sure she would love to have you within her ranks.
If you are without a current exploration vessel (from your message it seems you are) the IMG may be able to help you by supplying a loan from our guild funds. If this is required Simply say so and I shall get Syana to conduct the proper paperwork right away.
I guess what I am trying to say is, welcome to the Independent Miners Guild!
I shall be contacting you shortly over an encrypted channel for IMG standard ship fittings and specifications, as well as the passcodes for our Guildcomm (//skype) frequencies. I strongly recommend upgrading your comm units (if you have not done so already) so that you are able to use them, else it will be severely inhibiting.
I hope to see you in space with us in the near future!
Sincerely,
Nickolas Hargreaves

My sincerest greetings Mr. Spire,
My, it appears you have got quite a lot of experience there.. Jack of all trades but master at none, is that what you call yourself? Heh, don't be so modest. Your application and background checks have come back with flying colours - we would be more than happy to have you in the IMG!
There are few members within the guild that own or have a position aboard a mining ship, as well as a fighter of some sort to defend themselves with. If you are wishing to do something similar to that simply let us know - I've recently heard there is a position vacant on a miner's Atlas transport, as well as an ad for a captains position in a Rhino freighter.
You should shortly receive an encrypted transmission from me regarding IMG standard ship fittings and specifications, as well as the passcodes for our Guildcomm (//skype) frequencies. If you have any further enquiries please don't hesitate to reply back under the same frequency.
I hope I get the opportunity to fly alongside you soon.

i was told to apply to become one of your defense pilots by a member of your reseach and development wing. candela i think it was.
anyways, my name is Ron Matterson. i am 32 years old, and enjoy flying my pytho around the Taus.
for a while i worked on planet newlonden, which is where i am from. i was the pilot of a rhino freighter in liberty for about two years, got board of it, then came to the taus.
got a job on a mining ship blasting slabs of rock. the ship got raided by an outcast patrol, and i managed to scare them away. mining lasers set on full power can do a number when aimed at missle pods.
and then i got offered a job defending the mining ship as a fighter pilot. the captain offered me his ravens talon, which i took. i got shot down about a month later. used the credits i had left to buy a pytho. been escorting miners, and traders, and blowing up outcasts and smugglers when needed.
the IMG is about making money. making money for everyone, not just the corprate leaders, but everyone involved. and creating the means to support the economy of sirius. least, thats what your neural net page said.
and i think i can bring well, another skilled pilot into the defensive forces.

I believe you have recently recieved an application from a man named Ron. He mentioned being instructed to apply. It was me that suggested this to him and I would like to reccomend his application be given extra...attention. After finding and fighting beside him in the Taus I can say with full confidence that this man, "Ron" he called himself, Is fully qualified and would be an invaluable addition to our ranks.
Thank you,

ID: Discovery
This is freelancer discovery of new york, I am applying to be a defence pilot for your organisation. I don't have a lot of experience as Ive just turned 18 and got my light fighter licence for the first time. I went to manhattan grammar school and got a degree in basic level fighter engineering. Since I was kid growing up in the busy streets of manhattan Ive always wanted to be an escort pilot. I feel I have a duty to try and protect defenceless and peaceful cargo ships just trying to go about their day. My uncle raised me and just last november his IMG convoy was raided by Outcasts in the taus. They say hes just missing but I know in my heart my uncle aint coming back.
I don't have anything to lose now and no place to go, I need a home and a family. Since my uncle was IMG it only makes sense to me now that I follow his footsteps in the hopes that one day maybe I will get the chance for some payback on those wretched Outcasts.
Even though I've only just got my licence I've been flying my uncles ravens talon since I was just a kid, and whenever we went mining he'd let me fly whilst he operated the lasers. I already know all about the IMG from my uncle, how you all look out for each other and how hard work and hopefully not so long hours hehe pay off.
Im not the kind of guy to float around I need a place to dig my roots so you can be sure Ill be going career if accepted.

*Static....Hello, Hello can you here me? *Static... coming out of an Ion Storm.
This is Atlas ship Cowboy.Bebop requestion member qualification. Application is as follows.
Age: 22
Home: Freeport 4
Background: I have been a trader sence i could remember. Even as a boy i sold things for more then i bought them for, always trying to turn a profit. As soon as i got my own ship i began working as a trader captain w/ the IMG and exploring the farthes boarder worlds. I got my start at Falkland Base in Tau 37 doing small missions. That granted me rights and funds to purchas the Atlas my prized possession.
Why IMG: With the corrupt nature of most large Corperations I feel my wealth and opertunity is sucure with the IMG. I also feel the growing power of the IMG will give me a good sence of sucurity for me and my family.
What i belive and what the purpose is: I belive the purpose of the IMG is, and I quote " To strike and maintain the proper balance between the profitability and welfare of its members and thier families" I myself belive that to be very true and worthy of my commitment. I also belive the IMG strives to become a great faction of power and moral beliefs maintaining its independence among the Sirius.
Bringing to the table: I belive i can bring wealth and protection to the FREE people of the IMG and thier families.
I hope you consiter me for recuitment and i look forward to hearing back from you all.

So iam asking the leaders this, May my bomber help assist in the fight with the outcast and in the defence of our people?
