Greetings colleagues. As you might have seen, I'm Mara Arin, one of the Guild
applicants, who has been accepted into the Guild for a probation period. I will
not waste your valuable time by chatting about myself, but if you'd like to know
more about me, you can always look at my application in the recruitment
channel.

My reasons for writing here is that I'd like to be given an assignment regarding
my division. In this channel's log, it is stated that I should complete four (4) tasks
before I am officially given a status of IMG member, so if you'd be so kind and
state all four (4) of them, I'd be most grateful! In my application I also wrote that
my field of work is exploring the treacherous waters of the human mind instead
of stars or asteroid belts, meaning that my diplomatic skills would be of most use
in negotiations.

For many, that may be a daunting task, but I have familiarized myself with many
treaties including ones *ahem* with not so lawful factions. I also have an
expansive knowledge of planet Kyushu and may use my contacts there to
strengthen our hold in Taus and Kusari space. The list of IDs and ship names
together with some basic information about their pilot should also come in
handy when I attempt to fulfill my duties towards the Guild.

As of now, I've also completed a number of tasks not relevant to my division to
prove that I'm suited in many fields of the Guild such as participating in a trade
convoy lead by miss Morrow of a transport ship named Falling.Teardrop with
whom I had a pleasent talk. Unfortunately, I didn't get any response from other
ships in the convoy, which lasted about two (2) Sol hours. That must be due to
the fact that their communication systems are not functioning properly, as I've
checked mine and miss Morrow can confirm that all the messages from my
"Kujira" transport were transmitted without any problem. You may want to have
them docked for a few additional hours so that the technicians can perform
the diagnosis and repair if need be.

I also have a remote mining drone with which I assisted in a mining operation,
but have no evidence of doing so as a Lane Hacker uploaded a virus to it and wiped
the databanks clean. Nevertheless, if a time comes where the drone might be of
use, it'll be ready in Tau 23, on Java station.

I'd also like to ask miss Morrow if she got my communication requests
yesterday? If not, it must seem the dense radiation waves are blocking the signal
in Omegas. Too bad I couldn't have joined your convoy miss, it was a great
experience last time. I've learned that I need to update my auto pilot software in
order to dock more efficiently, so now things should be better.



*** I'm anxiously awaiting your response. Arin out.

I would also like to ask some questions about the IMG, now that I am trying to
become a member, first being why does Java lack IMG ship tags? I was unable to
tell it's administrator the code I needed to get it, so my ship is still untagged.

Second being about the lack of activity in this channel. The logs show that this
channel in being used very scarcely which makes me wonder why we have such
an immense database of information when little is being used and discussed
here.

Thirdly being the pilots' names. As I'm unable to ask them due to possible
problems with the communication equipment, I'd like to find a way to know their
names including those in SKYP-3 channel.

Fourthly being about convoy making. It seems convoy are being made and
moved, but that information escapes me and I'm in an unfortunate situation
where I cannot join them because it's making hasn't been announced. The last is
by far most important to me personally, as not being able to join the convoys is
like not piloting the ship at all.
