I trust this message reaches the OSI leadership in good spirits. My name is Blake Woodrow, though most Zoners call me "BW." I write today to express my desire to join Omicron Supply Industries as a transport crewman.
To give you a little background, I was roused from cryogenic suspension just three years ago. Cryer Pharmaceuticals, formerly known as Scott Pharmaceuticals, were able to stabilize an "infestation" I had picked up. How I came to need cryogenic treatment is a story that begins in 768 AS, when I was part of a Bretonian Armed Forces exploratory mission. Our mission, led by me and fellow pilots Anthony Stokes and Gerald Tarquin, took a turn none of us could have predicted.
While trying to establish a new trade route back to Bretonia from Omicron Alpha that didn’t involve Cardamine, we discovered an unknown jumphole on the edge of Sirius space. As we approached, radiation levels began to climb, deteriorating our ships. With no other option, we ventured through the jumphole, hoping for safety on the other side. What we found instead was a stunning pink nebula that disabled our scanners and comms. After hours of blind flying, we found an unknown planet. The atmosphere seemed breathable, and we made planetfall.
That's where my memory stops.
When I awoke, it was 811 AS, and I was in a Cryer facility on Atka. My wingmen were never found, and I doubt they ever will be. How I ended up in Sigma-17 is still a mystery. All I know is that I survived, and since my recovery, I've been trying to piece my life back together. Freelance trading has been my primary source of income, but I’ve longed for something more stable, more meaningful.
Through my travels, I’ve connected with many Zoners. Whether it was over a bottle of Vodka Sidekick at Freeport 9 or trading alien organisms en route to Cambridge, I found myself drawn to their way of life. The freedom Zoners enjoy, coupled with a sense of loyalty and duty, resonates with me deeply. I believe that freedom is a gift worth preserving, and following orders—especially those that come with that kind of liberty—is a small price to pay.
I’m hoping to bring my experience, my adaptability, and my story to OSI. With your reputation for navigating the farthest reaches of Sirius, supplying the most remote outposts, I believe this is where I can make a real difference while embracing the life I’ve come to love.
Please consider my application for a role within OSI's transport division. I’m confident I can contribute to your trade efforts and would be honored to join your crew.
I appreciate your time, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can be of service to OSI.
