| Information Centre completes new holosite ahead of schedule. (Posted by Ashley Perkins on Year 10 Day 303) |
Your screen fades out to black and then a a silver symbol, an incomplete circle with a series of small rings around it, appears on the screen. The screen fades again and then draws back in to focus on a smartly dressed, foreboding looking female Zeltron standing atop a short podium, surrounded by a crowd of news reporters, cameras and general public.

Behind the Zeltron is a Starport, where a Gozanti Cruiser, “The TIC Tenac” is just docking. She begins to speak;
“Welcome. My name is Trudi Rancnos and I am the promotions manager for The Information Centre, a non faction group that is making heads turn throughout the universe. In the last few weeks, The Information Centre has been making steady progress with its services and the remodelling of its holosite, all on demand from its customers.
Today, I am here at The Information Centre’s local starport to present CEO Jeff Dredd, who has prepared a small statement on the matter. He is currently aboard the Gozanti we just saw.”

A young, slim Siniteen, dressed in a black tailored suit approaches the podium as Trudi the Zeltron steps down. Reaching into his breast pocket, he pulls out a few cuts of card and begins to speak in a slow deep voice, but with crystal clear pronunciation, even from the back of the crowd.
“I am glad to state that business for The Information Centre is booming. More and more sentients are realizing that they do not have to be shackled by their employers, and are massively starting their own businesses. TIC cleverly offers services that these start-ups will need, and it is only thanks to these sentients that TIC exists as it does now. After a lot of attention, TIC decided to upgrade and remodel its holosite, which is now completed”
Mr. Dredd takes a short sip of water before continuing.
“Any questions before we retire?”
The crowd burst into jumbled speech. Holding out a hand for silence, Mr. Dredd then points to a reporter towards the front.
“Mr. Dredd. You advertised that the remodelling of your holosite would take up to 3 weeks longer than it actually did. Why did you manage it so much faster than first planned?”
Mr. Dredd replies;
“Well, at first we decided to take it slow to make sure it all went smoothly, but since the amount of clients increased we were forced to put in a more significant amount of manpower, to minimize the downtime for our existing clients and stay available to prospective ones.”
Looking at his watch Mr. Dredd calls to the crowd;
“Only one more question please.”
Hands shoot up from the crowd. Mr. Dredd points to a large Ithorian towards the back.
“Mr. Dredd. The services offered by TIC at present are the hosting of holosites, and translation services for those who don't speak basic as a first language. What other services will TIC be offering in the near future?”
Mr. Dredd takes another short sip of water before his reply.
“Well, not only do we host holosites, we also help create and manage them. We are also currently working very hard on creating technology which allows us to gather information from the entire galaxy and store it in an easily accessible database, to which a select clientele will have access too. Of course we have more in store for this galaxy's sentients, but I am unable to divulge any information regarding other projects currently being worked on.
With regards to how best to contact The IC, please contact me personally, and I shall redirect you accordingly. Alternatively, if you wish to get a more detailed review of The IC's services, please visit our holosite at http://www.informationcentre.net.
Thank you very much for your time.”
Mr. Dredd steps down from the podium as the screen fades again, leaving the same symbol you saw earlier.
