Hello, My name is Jeff Staley, born on California Minor. My childhood story isn't really that interesting, since it's California Minor and all, so I'll skip to the more interesting part. i worked as an independent trader for a while, until one day my transport stopped working on New Berlin, i was trying to get around to fixing it but everything there was way over priced, so i eventually decided to sell the big heaping pile of metal on which by now was junk, and got my self a fighter. thus for some time i worked odd jobs with the fighter, killed some pirates, worked with the bounty hunters to assault on a Harvester convoy, but then i started to miss the old feeling of that flying heap of metal. the feeling that your ship is bigger than everybody else's, and traveling, seeing the stars and such. thus i am here now, applying for a job for the Independent Miners Guild, hoping to flying a pile of scrap again...

hail there!

well it seems like quite a history you have and it certainly sounds like you have been through alot.
would you prefer to fly a Mining Ship or would you prefer to keep moving as a Trader?
both of these positions would be highly suited to your tastes

i look forward to hearing from you soon.

G'day, gents. This is Peter Brown, and I'm (you guessed it!) more than a bit disgruntled as an ex-BMM employee. See, I say "ex"-BMM, 'cause I'm getting quite tired of their antics, thinking that they can get away with anything just 'cause they can afford to, financially speaking. Well, no-sirree. Leaving Graves Station unmolested by both ex-colleagues and those Mollies who don't care who they kill so long as they get their rush. Bloodthirsty mongrels, I say.

Ahem...

Sorry, I've gone quite far from my reasons for this transmission. Y'see. a man has to make a living one way or another, and mining's just in my blood. My father was a miner, as was my grandfather before him, and my great-grandfather before him, and so on for generations almost all the way back to the founding of our great nation. However, I can't help but feel repulsed by the idea of going back to work for those tyrranical scum at Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing, not to mention that they probably wouldn't appreciate having me back anyway.

Anyhow, I've left Graves Station and reached the Battleship Hood, on which I was able to dock by passing myself off as just another gambler. True, I don't mean any harm and bear no hatred to the IMG; quite the contrary, in fact. Still, you can't expect for everyone to know that, so I'll just suck it up and play the role for a bit, I guess. It'll be a sacrifice, but I'll manage, no doubt.

*Noises of suppressed laughter*

Erm... Back to the point, before I start drifting any further off. Guess those two glasses of whiskey were stronger than I thought. Anyway, I was looking for a new employer, as I was saying, and I figured that since I was here on the Hood, and that I hold no love for Graves nor the BMM, perhaps I could serve you all in the Independent Miners' Guild well enough for it to go 'round. If not, I can't say I have much else to turn to, in Bretonia or otherwise.

Bah, I need another drink. Hey barkeep! How 'bout another whiskey over here?

*Static noises as the transmitter is shut off*

hail there!

ahh a fellow ex-BMM employee! i know too well how they would treat you and thus you have my sympathy.
well it seems you need a bit of a break having had to deal with Molly's and the BMM and as such im going to give you one, you can consider yourself a member of the IMG!

it is just aswell you are at the Hood aswell as we have recently been granted mining rights within Omega 49 and as such could do with a few more miners in the niobium field there heh

i shall need to contact you soon about an important matter via private channel shortly.

James Raynor here, applying for membership in the IMG. I've been a solo miner/explorer for a while now. Left Bowex 6 years ago because I got tired of being a moving bullseye for every pirate in three houses! Been doing my own thing - mapping out every new system I come across, find a good mining spot and work it til the pirates chase me off or I'm ready for a new view out the plas-steel windows of my Clydesdale.

Anyway, I'm sick and tired of struggling to make ends meet and I'm not too proud to admit when I could use some help. I hear the Guild is good place for hardworking folks trying to make it the honest way. So I'm submitting my application as an explorer/miner. I hope my willingness to work hard and a desire to see what's over the next rise will make me a good fit.

Thanks for listenin'

Jimmy
