Genya told me I need to write a proper introduction. So
1. Give name and origin
2. Apologize for previous entry
3. Explain relations/establish self
4. Announce desire for employment
5. Establish experience
6. Salutation
7. Insert footnotes

Hello. I am David Kostyk, and I have learned that "where is your nitroglycerine?" is not a traditional greeting in this world. I've also learned that the problem I needed nitroglycerine to solve is no longer a problem¹.

I'm Genya Safin²'s husband, a friend and colleague of Nikolai Lantsov³, a Grisha Fabrikator⁴, and a recent transplant to Vallo. Since everyone with power isn't automatically drafted into an army here, I'm now looking for a lab position. I've been employed as a scientist, engineer, and general problem solver since childhood. My previous experience is primarily in weapons development, but I would prefer to turn my skills toward something that will actually improve the world rather than destroy it. I would appreciate any help that can be offered in seeking such employment. Thank you.



¹I would still like to be able to explode things for testing purposes. Where one problem is solved, another tends to appear.

⁴Grisha Fabrikators, also called Materialki, come in two types: Durasts and Alkemi. Durasts are capable of manipulating solid matter down to its tiniest forms, using the mind and often aided by gestures for focus
⁵Tailors are Grisha capable of manipulating living matter who use their gifts to change people's appearances. Genya is the best of them.
