***PURPOSE: Application for the IMG***
Greetings,

My name is Jason and I'm 19. I don't have a sirname, sorry about that, I never had one. My parents call me Jason. I never knew my real parents. I was given to family friends for unkown reasons at the age of one. I recieved their sirname, but I didn't like that idea. I wanted to bear the name of my real family, but alas, that was impossible, so I'm just Jason. I was told sotories about how I came from Greek origins, which is interesting since the Greeks race became extinct long before A.S. For the past 19 years I've been living on planet Erie, deep in Liberty space, trying to earn enough money as a trader to survive.

Anyway, enough about me, let's get to the point. Due to a remarkable sequence of occurences I landed on Java station, the first time I met with an IMG. There I recieved a free Raven's Talon, again because of these occurences (if you desire to hear the whole story I'll gladly oblige you, but for now I'll keep it simple). I was told that this was the best VHF on the market, and I'm really fond of these fighting machines. So once I got it, I lifted off Java and decided to head back for Liberty and sell it (though I really wanted to test it out first). Then, when I was about to leave the system I recieved a distress signal from a Nyx pilot. He was fleeing from a junker vessel. I thought that this was my perfect oppurtunity for a test drive, so intervened and bought time for the Nyx pilot to escape. I couldn't see if he was IMG or not, but that didn't matter to me, I just wanted to chase the junker away. Sooo, my hull got ripped to pieces, enough was left for me to retreat, that was some skilled junker. But I was sort of happy because I did the same damage to him. So we both retreated.

After major repairs on Java I started for the docks when I heared to IMG pilots seeking an escort (one was trader-Holmestrand; the other a defense pilot- Zed). So I decided to join them, I was up for some fun. We passed through Kyushu and there we had a little fight with some GC's. The trader was headed for New Berlin. Except the GC fight we didn't encounter any more hostiles for most of the way. Just some unioners blocked our way for the Berlin planet, but I dealt with them personally. Then something wierd happened. My navigation systems malfunctioned (due to insufficient repairs after the junker fight I suppose) and the auto-cruise sent me straight for the planet's atmosphere...I ejected right before my Talon was ripped to pieces, but I blacked out because of the explosion. I guess Holmestrand tractored my pod and brought me back to Java.

So now I'm sitting here at the Java bar, writting this application, since I was irreversibly compelled by the IMG spirit and technology. I'm mainly doing this for the fun, but if I get to help others around me and recieve payment for it, then even better. I'm ready to forget the Liberty life and become one of the Guild, if you would let me join your wing.

Reasons why you would want to accept me:
1) I believe I have excellent fighting skills and I love space combat
2) I am also aware of the trading business since I was a trader back at Liberty, I can do multiple jobs if required
3) I am handsome
4) I promise I won't ask for high escort fees
5) I follow orders from my superiors

P.S.: I've read all of the information and laws availabe for the IMG, including the IMG history at Java and understand what it takes to be an IMG pilot

Peace. Jason out...
