As one of his many officers knocks on the door of his main Police Plaza office, Deputy Sinclair walks around restlessly, alternating his attention between the view of the Illinois system outside, an application titled "Jadin Larsen" on his desk, and a report from Engineering and the HR department.
"Come in, come in. Got any good news for me today?"
Some time passes. Noting that the officer was taking rather long to open the door, Sinclair headed for the door just in time to see the back of his colleague heading off around the corner at the opposite end of the corridor.
"Thought not. No Liberators today either, then. Fantastic."
With "one thing less" to worry about, Sinclair pushed the Engineering report straight into the recycling bin and flipped open the overdue application on his desk.
"...Right."

Judging by your application, it looks like you've already got more experience than most of my Sergeants already, Mr. Larsen. If you've already got your own ship set up as well - even better. You should fit right in with the rest.
Accepted
In other words; welcome to the Liberty Police, Inc., Recruit! I've already sent a 5-KYP3 comms protocol request contact request to the address you provided in your application, which you should hopefully have received by now.
There is, however, one rather significant hitch I need to talk with you about first, which is also the reason for why the processing of your application was somewhat delayed.
As you may or may not have noticed, a recent firmware update has grounded our entire Liberator fleet. Every single one of them. As this ship is the mainstay of the Liberty Police, and also - surprisingly enough - happens to be the ship that we issue out to new recruits, I've chosen to make an exception for you. To be honest, I do not really want to stick my recruits into ships without functioning shields. If you're up for it, your Patriot would make a "fun" little ship to start out with, but I'm alternatively also open for usage of the Arrow, Surveyor or most other Light Fighters that the LP, Inc. has at its disposal.
-Colin Sinclair, Deputy Chief of the Liberty Police, Inc.

After finishing his reply to the new recruit, Colin starts composing another comms message to the HR and Recruitment departments.

NB: The LP, Inc. has as of 02/11/820 A.S. chosen to close recruitment for an unknown period of time due to a firmware issue affecting all LZF-9805-series ("Liberator") ships.
