It was an ordinary day in the recruitment office in the capital of planet New London. It was raining heavily, as usual. Suddenly, a relatively young man opened the heavy door with a lot of noise. He was very tidy and clean, with a polite smile on his face. "Good day *thunder striking*, ladies and gentlemen!", he said loudly, with British accent. "I'm here to make mighty Bretonia even mightier!" The recruitment officer greeted him also, but with just "Greetings".
"I see that there's not a lot of good mood in the air", he answered. "I hope that I can fix that. I'm the proud captain of HMS-Debeli_Boda (character full name), a Dunkirk class Bretonian battleship". He really said that with a lot of pride.
"My little, nimble "battleshrimp" fought in lots of battles, many of them weren't so small. The most recent large battle she fought was against two Zoner Juggernauts who violated the rule about no Zoner caps in Bretonia. A BAF destroyer, gunboat and a snub were on my side. We kicked their asses! I did it literally! I mean, my ship literally put her head into a juggernaut's ass to destroy it by collision. My friends say that I like to get into people's asses... She also spent much time in Connecticut, where I practiced. If you recruit me, please don't take my ship from me just to give me some bloody Templar, it would ruin me and this wonderful day *thunder striking*." He said that with a lot of excitement and love for his ship.
When the recruitment officer woke up, he asked him why does he want to join BAF, the captain answered: "When I was a cargo keeper in my friend's freighter about six months ago, he passed trough Bretonia once. He was carrying 111 units of light arms, but he didn't know that they are illegal in Bretonia. He was caught by a BAF very heavy fighter (I think the pilot was Tim Garland, but I don't remember quite well) and defeated very quickly, although he had good fighting skills, and he had to hand over the goods. That was the day I was impressed.
About a month later, my friend bought Atlas, the IMG transport. He traded on route planet Leeds-planet New London for a bit more than two weeks. I traveled with him again. Something woke up in me then. Since those two weeks, I have a strong patriotic feeling for Bretonia and I need to do something with it. Not only the need to defend Bretonia as a state. I find the English ladies most beautiful - it would be an honor to fight for them.
Because I'm born in a merchant family, I knew how to gather enough money for my mighty battleship and defend what I want. Now, please recruit me, so I can do it officially. Those ladies like official BAF captains very much... Sir, you fell asleep again!"
When the recruitment officer woke up for the second time, he just took a paper and said to the captain to complete it and sign it. When the captain received the paper, he thanked to the recruitment officer for "listening". As he turned to sit at a desk, a note could be seen suspended on his back. On the note was written: "MY SHIP IS UGLY!".
