My bride and I knew that we were going to settle down on Earth, but we still went out into the near-Earth region to look around at what was available … mostly this was for fun, but also in the back of our minds we knew we could purchase some investment properties.
We ended up getting all of out honeymoon properties on the planet Allafhant, because the Allafhantine are some of the best and most honest real estate sellers in the galaxy.
The above representative of the Allafhantine was our guide to some of the best investment opportunities we have seen in a lifetime thus far – he was master of every detail, to a point that satisfied me as an engineer and also my wife, a former fleet base commander.
Cmdr. Khadijah Biles Dixon, even in retirement, remained the same straightforward investigator of matters she had always been.
“I know some admirals who would be proud to have you manage a flotilla's outfitting for them, Mr. Babar,” she said. “How do you manage all these details in your head?”
Mr. Babar laughed, his great trunk trumpeting his delight as he carefully danced a little in his joy – carefully because this great bipedal creature could have as easily crushed us as his earthly analog could.
“Our four-legged analog on your homeworld – the elephant – never forgets,” he said. “Neither do we! A thing learned on Allafhant is learned forever! We build these homes from the ground up, and every detail is remembered! Just wait, Captain and Commander Dixon – wait until our people discover how to sell real estate across the galaxy! There will be a 'giant' change in the quality of investment offerings, and because you are trusting us now, you will also be trusted by us then!”
Mr. Babar's word has come true, and every year he sends me the best offerings being sold through the Allafhantine across the near-Earth region several months ahead of the general galactic public. He never forgets … but, of course, that is understood!
