Pursuit of the Meaning of Life
Hacked by: Asaryakatr, Outrider Trading
Date: Year 5 Day 354 Location Unknown
Your favorite program is interrupted with the following. A hologram appears of a female Cerulean Twi'lek, one that many viewers will recognize mostly as a Jedi Master who is a very respected Middlewoman. Recognized less as the leader of Outrider Trading. She is seen wearing jedi clothing cut to Twi'lek fashion, with a Jedi cloak draped about her shoulders. She doesn't often come onto the GNS, so instead of changing to another station, you decide to listen to what she has to say.

"Greetings fellow beings of the galaxy,"

"I needn't go into what has happened to my corporation lately, as it has spread like wildfire throughout the trading community." Abruptly she switches topics.

"So, what is the meaning and purpose of life? Although I haven't determined what the purpose is, I have determined a lot of things that aren't part of my pursuit to live life to the fullest."

"Running a virtual corporation, working for people I never see, they never see me, testing the masses for the Force because they whine and beg for it till you give in, talking with people for hours that you will never meet, yet have conversations with daily, and running this and that for people who appreciate you only for your willingness to run yourself ragged doing something for them. These are just a few things that come to mind."

"Since none of these things are bringing me any kind of sense of accomplishment, I'm going off to pursue my purpose,..." She pauses to let this soak in, and then speaks one, solitary word. "Alone."

She looks deep into the viewer's eyes, before the screen fades to black for a second, then returns to normal programming.

((Thanks Josh, for being the catalyst for me gaining my life back. I've actually been wanting to do this for quite some time now.))


This programming has been funded in part by Et Tchin Tchun, Ryloth's premier holomag.
