Emergency Application Form – A-77B/Redline

Printed on stark, no-nonsense graphene paper, this urgent application packet is stamped repeatedly with PRIORITY OVERRIDE sigils and more than one impatient annotation in red text. Intended for corporations seeking immediate refuge within a new alliance, the form demands everything at once: fleet readiness numbers, logistical capacity, diplomatic liabilities, outstanding grudges, and a sworn statement that any fires currently burning are under control.

Near the bottom, a desperate handwritten note has been scribbled into the margin:
“Please approve quickly. Situation evolving. Assets mobile.”

Filing this document is often considered the first true loyalty test: if you can survive the paperwork, you can survive the alliance.
