My name is Greg Forteman. Easy enough to figure out since its outlined at the beginning of the transmission. Agh, there I go again. I've never been good with these applications I've never been much of a formal type y'know? Anyways, I guess I'll start off with where I'm from. Originally I was stationed with my folks on a prototype colony on Callisto, that's one of the moons of Jupiter. When I was 17 the colony got hit with some sorta debris that was floating around. Couple people were killed and some were wounded. My Dad and I were workin' the sector where the debris decided to hit. I was one of the wounded; lost function of my arm for a few years 'til the company funding the colony threw some pity cash at my family and we got me a fully robotic-prosthetic arm. You couldn't tell from the outside though; this arm looks as real as my old one, heh. Anyway, I couldn't live normally on the colony anymore. Going a few years without an arm then suddenly getting it back makes a guy want to do something other than colony work. So I decided I'd take me and my working arm out into space. I got me a small civvie shuttle and started doing work station to station.
Now, I s'pose I should get to the point of why I want to join. 2 months after I turned 27 I took on an escort job. The ship I was piloting wasn't bad by any means but it couldn't take on more than a few Hackers or Outcasts at a time. My escort was trying to get to Java Station one of IMG's main stations. Why am I telling you that? You should know your own station you are IMG. Ergh, anyway, we're getting through Tau 31 when these BMM guys tell us to "lose the cargo" and "we'd be able to leave without being scrap metal." I said something along the lines of "Up yours, jack hole." Well, didn't take them long to respond with pulse lasers and missiles. I yelled over at my Employer to get out while I provided some distraction. Didn't need to tell them twice they already had their cruise engine's primed. I took down a couple of the fighters but, my ship couldn't handle the fire power BMM was dishing out. So, resigned to the worst I did what I thought would be best: scream obscenities at the enemy while trying to evade their attacks. I was praying and hoping that some help would arrive somehow. And, whattya know it did. Couple of IMG fellas passing through with CR escorts saw the trouble and fended off the BMM scum. The Mining freighter that the CR was escorting let me fly in formation and they babysat me all the way back to Java. So that's that. All I want to do is return the favor whether it be mining or escorting, though to be quite honest think I'd be better off mining still shaken up after that BMM debacle. I owe IMG my life its only fair I pay you guys back.

"Outline the Independent Miners Guild goals":
-From what I read looks like you guys give work to all sorts of people. "Providing labor and income." You take in disgruntled and abandoned workers sounds pretty noble to me. You guys set up operations in places most corporations don't like, too. That's a gamble but it seems like it pays off for you guys.
"What can you contribute while inside the Guild":
Uh hm... I've got experience in fighting so I'm not useless in a firefight. I'm a pretty, whats the word, diligent worker so no worries about me skipping out on labor or anything. I'm not bad a drinking games either, heh.
"Which are your personal reasons for joining the Guild":
Ah dammit I coulda saved my story for this part. I'll say it again just so you guys understand where I'm coming from. I owe the guild my life not to mention you guys got a pretty good looking operation going on.
"Also, which IMG Department would you like to be part of":
See now that's a toughy. I can *do* anything but, can I do it well? I dunno. I'd like to try out mining though if there's an opening. I've got some experience but not much.
Well I suppose that's it. Hope you guys get back to me soon.

I've been playing on the server for 3 days now, not very long but, rest assured I know the rules. I'm just learning mining so that all new to me. Doing basic stuff like mining helium I've never been officially part of a guild however, in game I had a character that was part of the colonial republic but not on the forums. I just had the title that's all.
