ah my old friend, it is good to see you here as well. it was the most difficult of times for me. The Empire branded me a traitor, and attempted to assasinate me, but as usual, it failed. it was not the Empire itself, but outside evil influences that nearly did me in. i now see those individuals for what they are, which angers them greatly i am sure. i had to vacate the bendorian avitars on here for others to use, now i just keep changing them to whatever amusing i find on the web, keep them guessing for those who search for me. i gained some insight, into myself in particular, and now hold to the belief of never take anything too seriously, especially myself. the heat has been monstrous here, business has gone down the tubes, and i have put the place up for sale, along with most everything i own, to support the Imperial Government. i welcome, after 40 plus years of work, to retiring. now please get back in line, no cuts, you must wait your turn to try to kill me, friend or not. Mr. Chekov has just failed..................next.
