I'm looking to sell some feature stories to local papers. At least until I have enough momentum to get a regular column started.

So, if anyone's got a crazy story and feels like sharing it, I'm your guy.

Probably won't be much more than an origin story, what your powers are like, a few photos, maybe a bit about your hobbies... those kinds of questions. Don't feel like this is a job interview or anything. It's all about you, so just tell me whatever and we'll see if we can't make a story out of it.

( This next part gets added on later, like a side comment: )

Also, we sorta need a place to live.

Pros:
- Good with pets.
- Good at cleaning. And cooking.
- Probably gonna stay out of your way, for the most part.

Cons:
- SORT OF A LOSER.
- CANNOT WATCH HORROR MOVIES.
- TERRIBLE AT SINGING.
- Comes with an alien.

( Two very different posts happening here. )

Ashaa is a person..?

( look, he's just trying to keep the facts straight, here. )

I'm being serious here, man.
I know, it's hard to believe.

Not quite.

Ashaa is an artificial intelligence created by the Rakata during one of the earliest knwon eras of our galaxy's history. She was also apparently responsible for creating several of the sentient species that populated it, as well. She didn't mention humans by name, but considering she was able to repair the damage to my body and modify my genetic code easily enough, I wouldn't be surprised if we were one of her creations as well.

According to her, they were all created in an attempt to resolve why the Rakata could no longer use the Force. When that still wasn't solved, each of the races she'd created were enslaved by the Rakata. She wasn't very pleased by that.

[He did warn that he had crazy stories, so, do with "that time I met space god and she was a computer program" what you will, Brock.]

And, since you seem to believe I wasn't being serious: There are a little less than 20 million sentient species in the galaxy. My galaxy, anyway. And several dozen quadrillions of sentient inhabitants, spread across nearly a billion star systems.

I'm quite accustomed to aliens. I'd even be willing to bet I've met more aliens than you have people.

( well, first he takes a drink. he's gotta start somewhere with this. )

You think you could draw us up a timeline? So far, my notes are looking like:

- Rakata came first
- God is a woman
- The gene code has been sequenced
- The Force????
- Paranoid Android by Coldplay

My alien wants to meet you.

With some time, it shouldn't be difficult. But I'm afraid it would likely require additional editing on your part. For example, I might think the reasons behind my trip a secret prison world relevant to the story, but I have no idea if your readers would feel the same.

[There was also the tricky balancing act involved in doing so, considering there were some aspects of the Force Walk he would have to talk about, but others were the sort of things best kept to himself. Specifically, because they amounted to secrets of the life-or-death variety.]

For the record, if you're unfamiliar, then the Force would be a separate explanation in its own right, considering it's a fundamental reality of the universe with many, many different aspects to understand. Some of which are relevant to this next question:

Does this alien of yours possess any supernatural abilities? Specifically anything similar to telepathy or the ability to sense the emotions or the nature of others?

[A follow-up message would arrive shortly afterward. Evidently, the Sith felt he'd forgotten something important.]

I should also stress that the answer to that question and any that follow would directly impact the safety of both you and your alien. Those examples weren't random, they're abilities I suspect would be most likely to be influenced by the Force once you two are close enough. Potentially, even violently so.

So answer honestly.
