Here is something. It might make for an 'evasdropped statement'. Feel free to modify it.

CEO Morgan.

My investment in the UN Unity project was in fact a corporate expansion. Few people on board know that. Upon arrival, a colony would be set up, and a government along the lines of the UN charter would be instated. I am not fond of governments. They are needed to give people the freedom to generate wealth. That is what I like about the UN government. They can be shown how to give people the freedom they need to and it is critical for me to show the UN government how to give people that freedom they need cost effectively. This specialization is good. The UN would run the government, and I would run companies. I would provide some cost cutting guidance to the UN government as a good citizen should.

In my early days in my career, I saw governments do many projects over budget, and pass expensive legislation with little benefit. On a few ocassions, I saw that many government officials were not the brightest, and would get swayed by others less bright and with some guidance. The UN needs more guidance like few other organizations do. It cries out for the wise CEOs and statesmen to give it that guidance.

I read how President Saddam Hussein provided valuable guidance to the UN to get his nation's oil flowing again. I read how Bill Gates provided guidance to get the WIPO, UNAIDS and malarial programs up to shape. I saw how Craig Ventner, with the help of President Hillary Clinton, got approval of patented synthetic fossil fuel cyanobacteria in the deep ocean. I saw how Iran gave guidance to the IAEA for lifting damaging restrictions for its pursuit of breeder reactors & reprocessing for its viable, long term energy policy. Lets not forget the guidance to the UN to threaten the Christian States of America to accept manufacture of embroyonic stem cells necesary for life extension. (sister Miram gets mad every time she hears this.)

I am trying to show Lal, but his interest seems limited to when he visits the luxury corporate colony pod. The UN back on earth was much more receptive to my guidance. Some of my employees are restless and say to stop 'wasting' guidance on one as idealistic as Lal, and start a government of our own. VP Chanuk has been especially vocal on the issue. I must admit, we don't know how to run a government, or even do city planning. We'd only be able to get 4 into a normal base, whereas the peacekeepers know how to get in 9. I am afraid some of them will set up their own faction. Don't get me started on military support, as good corporations are fiscally conservative.

Make no mistake, the government on planet will be dominated by people originally from the UN back on earth. It is likely that they will operate just like back on earth. I say that is great. Do not worry. The UN's idealism promotes a sense of pride and purpose for its citizens.

And, just like the UN back on earth, the UN can be bought and sold. The UN has always been this way. Its human rights commission members share many ideals with Yang. The Universal Declaration of Rights were not implemented by any whom signed it. The support of the UN for removal of sanctions on Iraq was bought for one billion. Many times, UN aid has ended up in the pockets of dictators of Africa (some of whom I dealt with personally). In Somalia, Eretrea, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in my dear Namibia the UN officials OPERATE many of the crime rings. In many cases, nations sent convicts on peacekeeping missions.

Most whom know this side of the UN are disgusted. I am pleased with its true nature, since it reveals the UN as a real organization open to the realites of human behavior and finance. With the proper investments, the high density, well enducated and enthusiastic populace will be made available to us. With those skilled employees and large markets, record profits can be ours!

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

This piece can be used if we want to tie these articles in with the scandal...




Chaunk: It's a shame you won't be staying in prison longer.

Morgan: You are still mad because I stayed with the United Nations government (Peacekeepers) instead of forming a faction like most of the UNS Unity's leaders.

jtsisyoda: Just think of it, a faction by business and for business. There will be no government. No EPA to deal with, no welfare to take care of, no political parties, and most importantly: very low taxes! Our faction would be the most productive faction on planet!

Morgan: We don't know how to do city planning. We don't know how to run an army. We don't know how to run a government. Let's leave it to the Peacekeepers. We can use profits to make the peacekeepers business friendly, so we can benefit from our business skills, and the PKs governing skills, and inspiration to the masses.

CEO Aaron: Yes, your 'controlled' faction has you on trial for embezzelment. Yep, the peacekeepers are really under your control. If you really believe that, then you are out of touch with reality, and should not be Morgan Chiron anyways.

Morgan: This sham 'trial' has diverted many joules of generating capacity, valuable employees such as Snyder Rose and her elite group of hackers, and lots of bad corporate press, which will certainly hurt efforts to secure good trade treaties!

Chaunk: Underneith UNS Unity Mission Corporate Law, of which Morgan Chiron was incorporated under, Morgan Chiron officially begins operation, once the first Morgan Chiron meeting declares Morgan Chiron officially open for business. This meeting can take place after the UNS Unity Mission Senate officially anounces the establishment of the government. In this case, that would be the beginning of operations by the Peacekeepers' Senate. Since Morgan Chiron did not approve of using the 10 EC for construction of a luxury grotto, those funds were illegally taken, and thus embezzled.

Morgan: WHAT!!!! So, I'm being charged, because I conducted a business decision before a beuracrat told me I could?!?!

Chaunk: Technically. However, in a high profile case like this the records are being kept classified, and all that is being revealed, is that you are being charged with embezzelment of lots of energy from Morgan Chiron and spent it on a luxury grotto for yourself!

Morgan: That underground grotto was meant for Lal, his entourage, and as a vacation spot for well performing executives! Lal is harder to bribe than his earth counterparts. He got head daily before back on earth. Kofi only needed several million worth of convincing to defy the United States' invasion of Iraq! His successor, Nelson Mandella, only needed one hundred million to sabatoge U.S. efforts to invade North Korea! That grotto alone is worth 10 ECs and I will probably have to give some more to...

CEO Aaron: You mean you GAVE him the grotto?!?!

Morgan: No, no, no! Lal's deed to the grotto states "This deed may be revoked at any time by ScorpioCorp or it's parent companies." in fine print!

jtsisyoda: The day before you were caught the Peacekeeper Senate changed the sentance for embezzlement to the siezure of all the embezzler's assets. Since the trial started, the peacekeeper senate has returned it to its original sentance of a fine thrice the amount embezzled.

* Morgan's face turns to one of fury at the realization that the peacekeepers are indeed controling him instead of vice versa. *

Morgan: SO, THE PEACEKEEPERS ARE STEALING MY COMPANY FROM ME, AND MY 'EMPLOYEES' HAVE BETRAYED ME FOR A MEAGER BRIBE?!?!

Chaunk: We tried to warn you that those UN folks can't be trusted, and now it cost you your fortune. Oh well, your former employees now run your company. We will slowly move Morgan Chiron into the investor friendly Data Angels faction.

Morgan: Think again. The PKs screwed me, and they'll screw you out of your profits with their socialized industry, industrial espionage, cronyist rival industries with favored government contracts. I've seen it happen before, and it will happen to you. You won't be able to move, because there will be a laws against it soon. None of you have my experience in manipulating corrupt officials. I have have to defend myself against the Peackeeper Financial Court via commlink.

*Impailer and -SaFaN- walk in *

*method appears on a nearby holoprojector with a monocle on his left eye, lifts his right hand holding a small cup of xenotea to drink a little bit. *

method - You were perfectly right all along my chap. The Peacekeepers can be, and have been bought.

Chaunk - You won't have to defend yourself, because you need to recieve life enhancement therapy, and immediate cryosleep until the doctors say otherwise.

*Chaunk nods to -SaFaN-. -SaFaN- pushes some buttons. Morgan is terrified, and tries to resist as IVs are robotically injected into Morgan and begin inserting cryosleep agents. Morgan is forced into a lying down position. A mask is securly forced on Morgan's face and chilled flurocarbons pour from the mask, into his mouth, then too his lung to rapidly cool his body for cryosleep. Morgan passes out.*

Impailer: Some peacekeepers did come down in our colony pod, and will resist. The main garrison is still loyal to Morgan Chiron. They will support us, and most Morgan Chiron employees are not foolish enough to fall for Peacekeeper propoganda. We are ready, and expect only moderate casualties.

CEO Aaron: Our comm link frequencies have been changed. The few comm link devices with peacekeeper frequencies set in have been destroyed. They will not be able to find us for a LONG time.

Chaunk: Excelent, it is time Morgan Chiron to be spun off from the Peacekeepers, and we will IPO shortly afterwards.

method: I must say our plan is working quite splendidly.

* Everyone in the room looks at the Peacekeeper poster on the wall espouging a call to unite humanity under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and how how the Peacekeepers best represent humanity *

CEO Aaron in his best Morgan voice: Human behavior is economic behavior. The needs and particulars may vary...

* Everyone laughs maniacally *

Method is Currently Stranded on the Moon so he shoud make his apearance in the story by some kind of coded transmishion.

Also I would like to be in the story, it was my idea after all Even some minor part would be enough

Lastly I know realy know if I like the Peace Keeper stuff, we havent made contact with them (their likly on another continent after all) and the back story makes it quite clear that each Pod is independently governed and landed. I would prefer our story to be purely internal at this point so as not to waste the thrill of contact which will come later.

Ok, fine. Originally, Googlie wanted to do a faction where different people would actually own units, cities, energy, etc. Some people in the Morgan faction (including myself) were for this, provided it could be done feasibly. I think that would be possible if a proper program existed to keep track of the units, or maybe with a good spreadsheet (as was planned). Unfortunately, support wasn't strong enough and thus nothing came out of it. Googlie had proposed for a short while to set up a seperate faction, which would be various businessmen. That also didn't pan out.

This conversation happens a about a week after landing on Planet.

Anywho, in my 'story' Morgan wanted to join the PKs and rule them in secret, so he can have the PK's faction advantages (size 9 bases w/o hab complex and ability to pop boom w/o GA).

Originally, our colony pods affirmed our support of the UN government (the PKs). The high level officers in the company (us) disgusted at the possibility of being under a Peacekeepers beuracracy bribe the PKs to get Morgan Industries from Morgan, then kill the local peacekeeper garison, and destroy the comlinks with the Peacekeepers, ensuring control.

Our faction rewrites the history books to say that Morgan was staunchly against the UN Government and pushed for a perfect capitalistic society, and that he was found guilty of embezzeling lots of energy, and then he is not talked about.


Impailer, since you are head of the security committee, it is fitting you should be in.

I thought it would be suitable for the minister of monocles to be behind the plot...

WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE PROOFREAD AND ADD ANY COMMENTS BELOW. I WILL POST IT AROUND 2 IN THE AFTERNOON (PST).

MORGANLINK MAGAZINE
A Subsidiary of Morgan Industries

ISSUE 2: SCANDAL FOR SCOUNDRELS!


IN THIS ISSUE:


==============================================


CEO MORGAN CHARGED WITH EMBEZZELMENT!
Here's the story, covered in Morgan Street Journal by the venerable Impaler[WrG]


quote:

Sources indicate that Chaunk, Chief Prosecutor for Morgan Industries, is preparing to file Section 33-2a Embezzlement Charges against CEO Nabutika Morgan. Reportedly the charges will state that CEO Morgan, while still aboard the Unity Spacecraft, misappropriated the sum of 10 Energy Credits for his own personal use and hid them somewhere about the Morgan Capsule; leaving only a mere 100 Credits for the rest of the faction to make due with. Upon the landing of the Pod he then endeavored to conceal his theft from the rest of his faction. When security forces apprehended Morgan. he was nearing completion of a secret underground Grotto which was to be filled with nerve stabled Super model love slaves, lots of wine, synthetic caviar and a life time supply of Viagra.
Chief Prosecutor Chaunk gave this response. "He is going down. I have him in my sights and he can not escape. We will strip Morgan of every energy penny he has and boot him off the board for this unforgivable theft of company assets. I don't care if he DID found this company and lead us through the breakup of the Unity. This crime is unforgivable."
CEO Morgan gave this response: "These Charges are Ridiculous, Poppycock, made of whole cloth and further more NOT TRUE! I am the Teflon Kid and will come through this completely unscathed! Prosecutor Chaunk is going after me because of my wealth and wishes to "bag" himself an innocent businessman so he can make a fortune on his lawyer fees which mind you run at a staggering 500%!!."
When Chaunk was asked to justify his lawyer fees he responded with "No Comment". Morganic legal experts agree that the case against Morgan looks grim but none could imagine that the highly respected leader of our faction could ever have been charged in such a manner. They find the possibility of conviction infinitesimal due to the fact that Morganic Society would be shaken to its core by such an event.



==============================================


Morganic Lawyers called into action
As reported by Time Chester

Like a well oiled machine, the legal department in Morgan Industries sprang into action this last week amid uproar. Rumours had started, and were spreading like wildfire - the Mod's, the producers of the so called Pholus Lunar Newscast had started a campaign of viscious lies and misrepresentation.

The headline made their stance clear "Outrage Over Atrocities Commited by the Morganites". This reporter throws scorn in the direction of the Phalic Loony Newscast that, amidst their campaign of racial hatred, they couldn't even be bothered to get our Faction name correct. But thats by the by.

And official Morgan Represetitive made the following statement. "Originally the PLN stated they were neutral in all afairs. We now see they lied. In fact, their newspaper is nothing more than a rag. Our lawyers have issued a writ to the papers editors and the court case is scheduled for two weeks time.

"The Morgan Company has at no time had any part in any of these "atrocities" they claim we carried out. The protocol that Kody the Narrator of the Third Alpha Centraui Democracy Game, Senior Consultant on Universe Mechanics of Morgan Industries, Minister in charge of making sure the pins stay in the right spots on the War Map for the Spartans, Joint Peanut publisher for the Data Angels, Senior Nudist Runner Through Trees and Executive Preserve of Rosbuds of the Gaians, Spam Puppy - editor of the Pholus Lunar Newscast, and Janitor of Honghu's Washroom cites has not been broken in any way. In fact, as all the CMN's are aware, we Morgans have not roleplayed at all, save for a little bit last week from only two of our members, who are both now in training to rid them of such roleplaying tendencies.

"We will not rest till the truth is out, and Morgan Industries is once again free of the slur that PLN has given us."

We at MorganLink news can only stand and aplaud as our leaders refuse to take this lying down. Let the lawsuit begin!


==============================================



Shareholder Election Results
As Reported by CPO Vander

Election Results are in! Most every election went as analysts predicted, including the election for New CEO Chaunk. His conduct even before The trial of Morgan coupled with said former CEO's misconduct have left him as the sole and undisputed winner of the Executive Department position.

==============================================


REPORTER FINDS EVIDENCE OF POTENTIAL TAKEOVER OF THE UN BY MORGAN!

Computer investigator arginine has recovered evidence of for CEO Morgan's plans to take over the United Nations Chiron Mission. Using secret data cracking algorithms, the reporter found a lost letter from Morgan to Pravin Lal, leader of the UN mission. Here is the letter in it's entirity:

quote:
CEO Morgan to Pravin Lal
"On the UN an good business sense"

My investment in the UN Unity project was in fact a corporate expansion. Few people on board know that. Upon arrival, a colony would be set up, and a government along the lines of the UN charter would be instated. I am not fond of governments. They are needed to give people the freedom to generate wealth. That is what I like about the UN government. They can be shown how to give people the freedom they need to and it is critical for me to show the UN government how to give people that freedom they need cost effectively. This specialization is good. The UN would run the government, and I would run companies. I would provide some cost cutting guidance to the UN government as a good citizen should.

In my early days in my career, I saw governments do many projects over budget, and pass expensive legislation with little benefit. On a few ocassions, I saw that many government officials were not the brightest, and would get swayed by others less bright and with some guidance. The UN needs more guidance like few other organizations do. It cries out for the wise CEOs and statesmen to give it that guidance.

I read how President Saddam Hussein provided valuable guidance to the UN to get his nation's oil flowing again. I read how Bill Gates provided guidance to get the WIPO, UNAIDS and malarial programs up to shape. I saw how Craig Ventner, with the help of President Hillary Clinton, got approval of patented synthetic fossil fuel cyanobacteria in the deep ocean. I saw how Iran gave guidance to the IAEA for lifting damaging restrictions for its pursuit of breeder reactors & reprocessing for its viable, long term energy policy. Lets not forget the guidance to the UN to threaten the Christian States of America to accept manufacture of embroyonic stem cells necesary for life extension. (sister Miram gets mad every time she hears this.)

I am trying to show Lal, but his interest seems limited to when he visits the luxury corporate colony pod. The UN back on earth was much more receptive to my guidance. Some of my employees are restless and say to stop 'wasting' guidance on one as idealistic as Lal, and start a government of our own. VP Chanuk has been especially vocal on the issue. I must admit, we don't know how to run a government, or even do city planning. We'd only be able to get 4 into a normal base, whereas the peacekeepers know how to get in 9. I am afraid some of them will set up their own faction. Don't get me started on military support, as good corporations are fiscally conservative.


This letter is just the tip of the iceberg that is Morgan's debauchery. Many, many others go undescovered, and others discovered are added to the heap of evidence against the former CEO in his upcoming trial.


==============================================


And now, these headlines:

- First generation of 'Xenochildren', the first born on Chiron, are said to be doing fine. Reported to be having trouble saying "Erf" and "Arm-a-ged-on"

- Scientists monitoring many forms of airwaves announce "solid evidence" of other survivors of Unity landing. Board salivates at, "New prospects"

- The 200 year old, disembodied heads of Classic Rock band Aerosmith announce plans for goodbye world tour. (This will be the seventh of the sort)

Nice work, Im glad to see that Morgan publishing with have someone to compete with. Lets see if Angels can come out with some material now and we will then have some publications from everyone.

Also I realy like this format, its like what Kody is using for his PLO reports, did he assist you with it? If he did and is willing I would like to see Morgan use the same thing perhaps making this the standardized format for all publications.

Thanks Kody!

I guess its up to Vander if he wishes to use it, and if he dose its got my support


I figure we need something about our IPO so here is a little Blurb. Also I dont see how we can release election results untill AFTER Morgan is convicted and stripped of toppled from the CEO position? What do others feel about this? Also I dont think its nessary to give out the vote counts or Comittee positions, just listing the Chief officers seems fine anything more would likly confuse people.


Morgan Street Journal: Financial Times

Morgan Industries conducted its long awaited Initial Public Offering today. Morgan himself rung the Ceremonial Gong to comense bidding on 10,000 shares of Morgan Industries stock. Prices soon climbed from 3.2 to well over 16 Energy Bucks per share. Many traders were seen trading in wedding rings, watches even the shirts off their backs (and in some cases the shirts off other peoples backs) for more Morgan Stock. Morgan was quoted as having said " Mine Mine ALLLL MINE!!!" and "Greed is Good". Senior market analyst Yoggy belives that the sky high price will soon fall which is in sharp contrast to rival analyst Toro's predictions that prices could soon reach stratosphereic prices of 30-50 Energy Bucks per Share. Toro said "Sell your first born XenoChild NOW when it can still get you a desent return on your investment!!" Meanwhial Senior members of the Board of Directors had already had options to purchace the limited Edition "Golden Shares" of stock which give them controling Intrests in Morgan Industris and all its subsidiaries regardless of how many regular or "Pesent" shares as many Directors refer to them are sold. Resent investors Blut0 and TheloneAmigo were seen making purchaces of Golden shares of Morgan stock and both expressed their glee at becoming full fledged perminent members of the Board of Directors, "Its good to be Golden" said ZargonX another resent investor who claimed to have saved every credit he earned for 8 years inorder to become a Board Member.

Actually, that conversation was supposed to be a secret conversation within Morgan Industries of Morgan trying to convince some directors to back his 'takeover' of the UN. This conversation would be kept SECRET from people in the PKs. Otherwise, it's just fine.

Well, let's go with the new format. I'm not sure how to use it, so someone else will have to take care of that. (hint hint) Also, let's cut the elections out until the next issue and add Impaler's other article.

"Scandal for scoundrels"



CEO MORGAN CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT!
Here's the story, covered in Morgan Street Journal by the venerable Impaler[WrG]


Sources indicate that Chaunk, Chief Prosecutor for Morgan Industries, is preparing to file Section 33-2a Embezzlement Charges against CEO Nwabutike Morgan. Reportedly the charges will state that CEO Morgan, while still aboard the Unity Spacecraft, misappropriated the sum of 10 Energy Credits for his own personal use and hid them somewhere about the Morgan Capsule; leaving only a mere 100 Credits for the rest of the faction to make due with. Upon the landing of the Pod he then endeavored to conceal his theft from the rest of his faction. When security forces apprehended Morgan. he was nearing completion of a secret underground Grotto which was to be filled with nerve stabled Super model love slaves, lots of wine, synthetic caviar and a life time supply of Viagra.
Chief Prosecutor Chaunk gave this response. "He is going down. I have him in my sights and he can not escape. We will strip Morgan of every energy penny he has and boot him off the board for this unforgivable theft of company assets. I don't care if he DID found this company and lead us through the breakup of the Unity. This crime is unforgivable."
CEO Morgan gave this response: "These Charges are Ridiculous, Poppycock, made of whole cloth and further more NOT TRUE! I am the Teflon Kid and will come through this completely unscathed! Prosecutor Chaunk is going after me because of my wealth and wishes to "bag" himself an innocent businessman so he can make a fortune on his lawyer fees which mind you run at a staggering 500%!!."
When Chaunk was asked to justify his lawyer fees he responded with "No Comment". Morganic legal experts agree that the case against Morgan looks grim but none could imagine that the highly respected leader of our faction could ever have been charged in such a manner. They find the possibility of conviction infinitesimal due to the fact that Morganic Society would be shaken to its core by such an event.


Morganic Lawyers called into action
As reported by Tim Chester

Like a well oiled machine, the legal department in Morgan Industries sprang into action this last week amid uproar. Rumours had started, and were spreading like wildfire - the Mod's, the producers of the so called Pholus Lunar Newscast had started a campaign of viscious lies and misrepresentation.
The headline made their stance clear "Outrage Over Atrocities Commited by the Morganites". This reporter throws scorn in the direction of the Phalic Loony Newscast that, amidst their campaign of racial hatred, they couldn't even be bothered to get our Faction name correct. But thats by the by.


And official Morgan Represetitive made the following statement. "Originally the PLN stated they were neutral in all afairs. We now see they lied. In fact, their newspaper is nothing more than a rag. Our lawyers have issued a writ to the papers editors and the court case is scheduled for two weeks time.
"The Morgan Company has at no time had any part in any of these "atrocities" they claim we carried out. The protocol that Kody cites has not been broken in any way. In fact, as all the CMN's are aware, we Morgans have not roleplayed at all, save for a little bit last week from only two of our members, who are both now in training to rid them of such roleplaying tendencies.
"We will not rest till the truth is out, and Morgan Industries is once again free of the slur that PLN has given us."
We at MorganLink news can only stand and aplaud as our leaders refuse to take this lying down.
Let the lawsuit begin!


Free Market established!

Today several famous statesmen like Dr. Chaunk and many of the upper management of Morgan Industries announced the institution of a completely free market without any governmental regulations. Finally the Morganites have managed to set up a thriving economy on the foundations of liberty and capitalism, allowing for anyone to make his own fortune.
Within the first years analysts expect an annual growth of more than 50% for the GFP (Grand Factional Product) of Morgan Industries, while the average income as well as the living standards will rise even more due to the vast diversity of new products and services available...




M.I.S.E. opened

As a milestone of economic development within the Morganite faction, the first Morgan Industries Stock Exchange has been opened this morning at the capital. Eqipped with latest information technology (and luxury furnitures... ) the facility is a remarkable masterpiece of modern architecture as well as an efficient environment for stockbrokers to do their jobs.

Investors shocked!

MichaSoft Systems share prizes went down by 33.5% due to the mysterious inactivity among high-level management. Head of the Company, Mr. Micha el-Herodes, is said to have disappeared several weeks ago, without giving notice to his secretary or his three wives. Analysts say the latter may be the motive for his departure, while former co-workers claim it´s all a trick to cash his own life insurance...

Nice job Micha (thinks we should boot Tass a SPO and give that spot to you)* We just need a few more little ads to go at the bottom and its done.

Oh one other thing I dont think we want to refer to Chaunk as CEO yet as my story implies that Morgan is still CEO and Chaunk is Chief prosecutor.
