Yeah, We have been thinking about sending a bomber unit or two out to Magellan. Seems we actually do need some help out there. As long as your a qualified pilot, as in your good at flying that bomber around properly, I don't see any reason not to accept you as an employee of the IMG.
Welcome to the Guild, Al Khollic.
I will contact you via secure communications to give you the transponder signal of the IMG's Secure Communications Channel, and so we can go over a few things.

About me: I lost my memories in a battle between the outcasts when i was 13 years old. The one and only thing i remember is when my Father and Mother got killed by that bastards. I also remeber the last word my father said to me. "I love you son, stay alive and protect our homespace"
Unfortunatly my Father wasnt a rich man so i had to mine with his old ship. Not enough money to repair but i worked hard.
when i was 18 years old, i had enough money to get a better ship. Not a new one but a good one. My first Miningship
then in a pokegame on a station somewhere in Omega it was the first time i heard something about the IMG Guards. Suddenly my memory of my fathers last words came back. At this time i had enough money for buying a very good Mining ship to get more money. A few years late my dream and my fathers last word becomes true. I bought a Battlecruiser with all my money.
Now i would like to join your faction to protect our home as best as i can.
Hmm, this is very interesting. How did you acquire such a magnificent ship? We don't just hand those out, ya know.
Well, I see a few problems with allowing you into the guild. I will, out of respect, indulge you with the most obvious reason.
*Zenth flips through his file cabinet sitting next to him, obviously looking for something...*
Ahh, here it is. Take a look at this:

That is a copy of our ship usage policy, taken directly from the IMG Database.
As you can see, unless you are a director in our guild, you cannot be flying that ship under our employment.
Hell, I'm a director, and I don't even have one...
However, If you are still interested in a position in the Defense Division and you have access to one of the other lighter ships mentioned above, you may still apply for employment.
Also, may it be known that, although we cannot accept you into the guild at this time, you may still be affiliated with our guild, unless any circumstance surrounding your vessel deems necessary disrupt your affiliation with us.
Good day to you, and safe travels.

Quote:. Professional background, including what work you have done in the past and why you wish to join the Guild.
2. Briefly describe what you understand the purposes of IMG to be.
3. Explain what you bring to the Guild that can help accomplish those purposes.
Dear Sir!
I am coming from a miner family from Pennsylvania. I started my early adulthood mining with a freighter. Later on I wanted to join the Liberty navy, and was working for them for some time. At that time I thought I wanted to be a military person. But by the time I was about to be recruited, I was not so sure. They do have a very limited space to explore, and are told what is right and what is not.
I am another kind of person. I like working for my own money, I am an eternal explorer, and want to decide on good and bad on my own.
Of what I heard from your faction, it looks like it is the perfect match for my needs.
On the other hand, I am sure, you would also benefit from my explorations. I was always protective to all lawful traders and especially miners, as they are the only one who really work for their money.
Looking forward to join your faction.
Yours faithfully,
Psy
Sounds like we might be what you are looking for in a company, and we could always use more explorers.
I'm curious as to what ship you might be flying.
Although, I see no reason to deny your application at this time, so without further ado,
Welcome to the IMG!
I will contact you via secure communications to give you the transponder signal of the IMG's Secure Communications Channel, also so we can go over a few things to complete your initiation into the guild.
Hope to see you soon!
Zenth out.

*Zenth stands up and walks out of his office, closing the door and shutting off the light behind him*
Alright, I've got a meeting to get to.
*Zenth walks down a long corridor on Java station, back to the room where all the other directors were sitting....And also, Syana Kyan. He nods and smiles at Nickolas, Adam, Ron, and Gene as he walks in. He then turns and faces Syana, gently grasps her right hand and lifts it to his lips, gently kissing her hand as a sign of respect for the woman.*
How are you Ms. Kyan? Its been a while...says Zenth as he smiles.
Well, lets get down to business shall we? Then, maybe afterwards we can all go down to the bar and catch up...
So....your looking for a job again, eh?
Well, I'm curious. What position, exactly, are you applying for?
You may well know, that since you left, all the Director's positions have been filled, and the IMG seems to be well on its feet again. Especially since some Colonial Citizens have joined the Mining Division.
Also, I heard somewhere that all your old IMG ships have been decommissioned. Is this true? If so, what ship are you flying nowadays?
