Frack it all...
Nothing like the events of the past several weeks to make me wish I was back on Dantooine. Nope, nothing at all.
In case you couldn't tell, yes I'm being sarcastic. And yes, I'm annoyed.
So I took on a job Father referred me for, doing a scouting run for a group of traders. At least, that's what they told me they did. Turns out they're a cover for one arm of the Exchange, one of the biggest "businesses" in the Galaxy. What do they deal in, you ask? You name it, they've got their corrupting fingers in it. Slaves, spice, gambling...everything.
And I landed neatly in the middle of it all. Frack, I'm an idiot.
This particular group specializes in smuggling large shipments of weapons and spice to sectors hostile to the Republic. Their "mission" for me was merely to find new routes to bypass Republic Customs and checkpoints along the known routes. Well, seems someone tipped off the Republic, which sent a cadre of soldiers to intercept them. The moment I led them out of hyperspace near Corellia, they were on us like Kath Hounds on an Iriaz.
Now I gotta give credit where credit is due. Those smugglers are smart. They didn't get where they are now by being stupid. The moment one of their ships spotted the Republic fighters, they were long gone. Naturally, I followed in StarScreamer, but her hyperdrive chose that particular instant to go out on me. Damn useless mechanics. I swore a blue steak, vowing they would feel a Galaxy of hurt when I got through with them, all the while being surrounded.
Did I surrender? Well, I kinda had no choice. Not if I wanted to stay in one piece.
So I was escorted to a landing on Corellia, where I was promptly arrested and thrown into one of their better holding facilities. I gotta hand it to the Republic, they do know how to treat prisoners. I didn't starve, nor was I mistreated, unless you count having no Holonet access as cruel torture.
Yet, who do I see when I'm brought out of my cell for questioning? None other than Father's old war buddy. Remember the guy I mentioned before? The one whose name escaped me, except that his last name started with an "O"? Well, I know his name so perfectly now that I don't dare forget it again.
Carth Onasi
He appeared less than happy as I was hauled in front of him. In fact, he looked as though he'd prefer executing me on the spot for helping the smugglers. In his mind, maybe he thought I volunteered as a "decoy" to let them escape. Hmph. Excuse me if that's a load of bantha poodoo. I'd NEVER be that stupid. Of course, I also told myself I'd never let myself be so stupid as to get caught either. *sigh*
I was in that fracking cell for two weeks before I was freed. It seems the Republic had a spy amongst the ranks of those smugglers. It was the same spy who tipped them off as to our coordinates when I was captured. Once the smugglers were rounded up, they confessed to making me into the "fall girl" as it were. Since the soldiers are nothing but gentlemen (sarcasm), they freed me with a "sorry about that, good luck to you." and a pat on the shoulder.
Well, all except for Onasi. What the frack is with that guy? He looks at me strangely, like he wishes I were either dead or...I don't know what. I do know one thing, however. I know that this won't be the end of my interacting with him. I feel our paths will cross again in the future. When is the only question.
I got a strange message from Dantooine just a few minutes ago, requesting I return. A part of me would rather not, yet the rest of me feels that I should. I wonder what they want with me this time. Wasn't expelling me enough?

"BREAKING NEWS"
===============
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
