I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news vids while you've been around this part of the galaxy, but Earth's not doing too hot. It's... getting decimated, to be completely honest with you. But somehow, some way, this rich corporate honcho found a way to smuggle one of humanity's most prized items of literature off the planet. A book. Not people, no--he spent millions of credits to extract a book. And he's planning on selling it, because he knows the Elcor will eat this crap up.
I'm not about to let him make a profit out of what happened to Earth and give away something that's so culturally important, you know? So here we are.
[ Ah, all this said by the thief who still has the Mona Lisa. She has good reasons, though. ]
