You would be receiving a CV now, with a list of all the institutes and
educational facilities I've been thought, but I must state that I'm a special case. I
have been given both primary and secondary education on a ship called Hope
and when I finished with those I was introduced with a wonderful world of
emotions, reactions, reflexes and experiments called psychology.


In this world I learned things about human behavior, how they respond to
stimulus, how to best analyze their mind and how they will react in the future.
Unfortunately, all this couldn't have been applied to anyone as I was alone in my
ship by the time I finished my studying. In the downtime however I also had a
passing interest for sociology and made a quick transition into what could be
called mass psychology. There I learned that humans are known to behave
differently in groups, depending on their size and common interest which was
beneficial when I was finally found and faked my prolonged shock after I was
rescued from my ship. That little experiment yielded some interesting results and
proved my thesis which is that humans would ignore almost anything out of fear
of humiliation which might be caused by accusing a helpless woman of not
having a citizenship or not being able to pay her medical bills.


While I was cared for on Manhattan's hospital, I used that time to learn
something about the laws in these parts. I first studied Kusari laws as I found
their struggle to maintain civil order and recover the Emperor most interesting.
Liberty laws followed soon afterwards and I'm still trying to grasp other
governments' laws as well.


When I was finally released from the hospital I decided to go visit the part of
space with which laws I was most acquainted and that was Kusari. There I found
great interest in the independent factions that were trying to fight for their survival
and began studying all the treaties IMG has made in the past. Between my
learning sessions I was able to lease a ship I today have from the GMG shipyard, fill it
with somewhat capable crew members and begin trading. Trading supplies in
Kusari space made me land on planet Kyushu a lot and there I began making
contacts I have even today.


Later, when I was finally finished with the study of IMGs contracts and treaties I
made an effort to make myself known inside Java base where I often stayed
talking to IMG employees who had lots of advice to share about the Guild in
general. All of that made me think that IMG would be a great place to start
honing my skills as an diplomat and rookie lawyer.


By complete accident I then met miss Morrow, captain of a transport vessel and
leader of the convoy at that time, which kindly asked me if I wanted to join their
group to which I replied yes. In my mind I knew that I should act naturally, but
also to gather as much information as possible to finally try out my knowledge of
sociology. In that convoy however I found little response to my constant inquires
aside from miss Morrow whom I have to thank for inviting me to join the Guild in
the first place.



I hope this gave you an impression of what I studied and what I can accomplished
with such knowledge.
