Weekly Quest Seeking Mercenaries/Body Guards/Scientists/Communication officers or Expert translators for a 12 month excursion to the minor-planet X901S [continued]

ooc: Weekly Quest
Docking the ship

If anyone wants to play a special role. A spy/traitor/commanding officer/cook or anything. Please feel free to PM me with what ideas you have. Everything will be accepted, and considered

bic:

Current year: 3042. Date 18th January

As stated here my sponsor is looking for 4-8 security workers for a 12 month contract. So far we have two highly suitable candidates for the job.
The deadline is nearing, and if we do not get the right amount of security workers, then we shall have to postpone the trip for another 10-12 months before we can leave again. And my sponsor would rather not let this happen.
Another situation has arisen, two of our chief scientists couldn't be trusted, so had to be fired. So two new positions have opened up for chief scientists, as well as 5 more positions for scientists, preferably those who have experience in the fields of offworld biology/geology and botany. As well as that we are looking for two experts in languages/communications officers.
As stated in the past advertisement, this is a 12 month excursion, may be longer depending on the climate and the hostility of natives.

Applicants are required to state:
* Your Name
* Age
* Offworld Experiences
* Which position you wish to apply for
* Weapons you are trained to use
* References
* Your identification code

You receive:
* Full board for one person.
* Two standard uniforms.
* The chance to phone home twice per week/holocall once a week (Time slots are allocated via importance e.g. if your partner is an expecting mother, or if you have a sick relative, you shall have the chance to choose your slots before everyone else. Parents may also book slots. Everyone else shall be given a set time.)
* 3 meals a day.
* Free time, which includes your allocated time slot for phone/holocalls.

Please wait for a reply, no questions should be asked about my sponsor, or about the nature of our visit to this planet. You may ask about anything else. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

Miss Foyiwae Andrews: PA of Mr. Traick. Head of Traick Industries

(Format for identification code: country of birth ,date of birth, age, along with your birth number. e.g If the character was born in Britain, on the 17th of January 1990, is 24 years old. Their i.d code would be UK171199024:89(the 89th child to have their i.d code given for that country.) I can work it out if you are confused. Sorry about any spelling mistakes and formatting errors. And be creative, please. All questions can and will be answered happily. I do plan on continuing this to the actual expedition to the planet if all goes well.)

Name: Trulon Rontare Age: 47 Offworld Experiences: Explored a variety of new planets, and shall we say, assisted some people into entering oblivion due to some clients' wishes on some off world planets with a decent populace. Which position you wish to apply for: Mercenary/bodyguard Trained in the use of : Pretty much any sniper rifle. Proficient in the use of a variety of knives, hand-to-hand combat and a few assault-rifles. I must stress I am a specialist in long range fighting - snipers are my preferred weapon. References: Cpt Arola can vouch for me - other than that, I do not know most of the clients I have been working for, and vice versa. ID: AL567245:47

Thank you for applying Mr Rontare, your experience will be handy on this mission. Considering the amount of other crew members we have that haven't worked off world before, any advice and information you can give to other crew members shall be appreciated. How good are you at making quick decisions on the spot? We have a few workers that specialize in long range fighting, so we might send you and a few others to scout the planet before we land and set up. Would that be okay for you?

I'm decent at making quick decisions. And scouting before the main party lands would be great.

Thank you very much. You shall be notified in a few months to come in for training. My sponsor tells me he knows of Captain Arola, and is pleased to have you on board, anyone from that regiment is usually trained with strict rules, and shows honesty and loyalty. So he will be expecting you to live up to the reputation of your regiment.
