Good Afternoon again, Mister Crooke.

As we discussed earlier, I've attached my application to this transmission.

Name: Melanie Tyler
Place of Birth: Riverside Station, California
Age: 24

Personal Statement:
Mister Crooke, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not overflowing with hospitality experience, especially compared to some of the applicants you've received. My experience on that is limited to sitting in the back of an Air Force transport and considering how nice it would be to have padded seats. I do; however, know how to get a ship from A to B in one piece.

Sirius isn't as safe as it was ten years ago, and maintaining a balance between security and everyday life is a delicate line that Orbital Spa and Cruise has to tread. I know about that line, it's one I've walked before. The tourist industry of today isn't the same one I dreamed of one day working in when I enlisted, but I do want to contribute to it, nonetheless.

It's not until war grinds everyday life to a halt that it begins to cripple a population. I want to do everything I can to stop that happening, and keeping people moving, as Spa and Cruise always has, seems an ideal way to do so - inherent appeal of the organisation aside.

Work History:
I enlisted in the Liberty Air Force as a fighter pilot straight out of school and transferred to the newly-formed Air Force Space Command aboard the carrier LNS-United States. I served as a strike pilot with Space Command until we deployed to Bretonia in defense of Leeds.

An attack on one of our command shuttles resulted in the death of LAF Command, and the strike force took heavy casualties until Major Comstock took control. With the casualties, we needed people to fill the gaps and I was promoted to Squadron Leader, and shortly after that as the XO of the Ravenswood. When the Air Force pulled out of Bretonia, I took on a temporary commission as the Commanding Officer of the LNS-Furious to assist former Ravenswood personnel in the transition, where I served until I EAS'd yesterday.

I also served briefly as a Public Liason Officer with the Air Force; however, that was a mere three weeks as a stopgap.

Relevant skills:

• Navigation
  
• Local knowledge - Bretonia, Liberty
  
• Resource management
  
• Security and hazard avoidance
  
• Operation of heavy craft
  
• Risk assessment and management
  
• Leadership experience
  
• Works well in high-pressure environments
  

Which affiliate of Orbital Spa and Cruise are you applying for:
[X] General Operations - Security
[] General Liner Fleet
[] Greyhound Transportation
[] RheinTouren

Why do you think security is a major issue for Orbital Spa and Cruise in general?
Simply put, Sirius isn't safe. Strangely, passengers expect to reach their destination safely. To make the passenger's expectations reality, it's necessary for Orbital Spa and Cruise to maintain a comprehensive security division.

How should one present themselves in appearance to our customers aboard ship?
Immaculately, of course. Customers will judge the company by the appearance its employees put up.

In the event of finding a transport holding slaves, what is the most important thing to do?
Everything possible to ensure their release without endangering our own passengers, including contacting local law enforcement and, if necessary, personal intervention. While the safety of our passengers is always a priority, some consideration has to be made for the fate of the individuals carried aboard a slaver ship. If it's allowed to slip away, it's unlikely to ever be found again.

A pirate appears ahead of you, what is the most important thing to do to ensure the safety of passengers?
As much as I hate to say it, comply. We can always pass the ship on to the authorities for them to deal with later, without risk to our clients. However; a Liner, properly flown and escorted, shouldn't encounter pirates at any distance closer then sensor maximum under normal circumstances.

In your own words what do you think Orbital Spa and Cruise does as a whole?
You're the wheels upon which Sirius turns. The ships that carry families from one side of Sirius to the other, far beyond the ranges of their own ships. OS&C ensures the constant flow of humanity across the sector that binds the colonies together. Without the company, and others like it, the colonies would drift further and further apart, with only tattered memories and flickering comms-links to remind them of each other.

Or, at least, that's my take on it. Maybe we just make rich people feel richer.

Thank you for your time, once again. As an aside, if I'm accepted, I'll have to apply for leave in the upcoming week, due to a friend's funeral.

My apologies for any inconvenience that might cause.

Tyler, out.

OORP Questionnaire

Skype Address:
jane.hartman. (Decimal included)
Notable roleplay that you have been involved with:
Nothing of particular note, although I've been somewhat involved in the Normandie role-play recently, and several smaller things floating about. That aside, there was the business of helping run the LAF| a while back, and all the faction diplomacy that involved.
Characters that you already use:

• Sarah McFarlen (Free Merchant Captain)
  
• Miyagi Akira (Coalition Pilot)
  
• Jane Hartman (Liberty Navy Commander, currently in the reserves)
  
• Melanie Tyler (Well...)
  
• And an Angel!
  

Please now make a paragraph about something:
Oh boy. That's asking for it.

The Cessna 152 is a two-seat light trainer, and one of the most produced training aircraft in the world. It features air conditioning (if you open your window), an observation deck (if you open your door), and fireworks (if you open your fuel tank and throttle at the same time). Contrary to the belief of a particular student pilot, it is not in fact possible to open the door in flight, and allowing it to open during take off is most certainly a bad idea, as is answering a mobile call at the same time.

I think that should just about cover it.
