RE:
Application for Permanent Associateship - GMG Science/Research/Development Department

* * *

Honorable Guild Masters,

My name is Dr. Winter Shizukesa, and enclosed is a résumé package detailing my professional experience, education, and background. Please regard this letter as my formal application for an Associate Position within the GMG.

My best research into your public employment/staffing documentation indicates you do not maintain a formal Science/Research/Development department. It is my firm belief that the Guild can increase productivity, develop new technologies/products, and consequently expand GMG influence both economically and politically throughout the Sirius sector. Frankly, you need someone with my credentials placed into an Associate (though non-Directorate) position to create, develop, and expand this "gap" in the Guild's structure. Failure to do so can only result in rival interests out-maneuvering the GMG with incremental advances towards superior technology and procedures.

I have over ten years of experience spearheading breakthrough research in areas of organic chemistry; aerodynamics of noble, inert, and industrial gasses; planetary science; and experimental/applied physics.
My developments are published throughout the Kusari Journals of Science, and have been put into practical applications already in several industrial practices.

Beyond the realm of science, I maintain a GMG IFF and a class 11-F GMG Transport ID/Licence to command ships up to and including a Kujira-class vessel. My research and experiments demand tremendous amounts of raw materials, which I am perfectly capable of procuring and transporting myself.
Please note however, that I am most certainly not a military drone to be thrown into combat situations whenever the GMG has a scuffle. I have no interest nor desire to pilot military craft, and refuse to take up arms directly/personally against perceived threats. I much prefer developing/improving the weapons of defense, and letting more "skilled" individuals put them to actual use.

My short and long term goals for the GMG would include:
-Creating, developing, maintaining a formal R&D department.
-Streamlining existing gas mining procedures.
-Refining/improving existing gas mining technology and methods to improve yields.
-Searching for and identifying new, viable gas clouds for eventual mining.
-Improving GMG weapons, equipment, vessels, and other assets.
-Expanding GMG influence by providing a superior commercial H-Fuel product to the Sirius market.
-Expanding GMG influence by out-producing all rival entities.
-Researching new GMG consumer products for introduction to the Sirius market.

I believe my presence within the Guild would be nothing but productive for you, and enjoyable for us both. Please contact me a your earliest convenience to schedule an interview and/or to discuss matters further.
Otherwise, I shall look forward to your swift acceptance of this mutually beneficial proposal.
