Trust in the TREK
Joshua Eisdorfer, now a household name, struck the world with thunder after graduating from Olin College - a college with a knack for producing engineers who know the solutions to global problems - when, working together with scientists from NASA, the DoD, and Israel, he designed what we now know as the StarShield space defense system. In 2027, during the unveiling of the defense system, and said that, "This system protects every single country from ballistic missiles- every single person. This isn't an offensive play- StarShield is going to protect the innocent from the bad guys out there." However, the CEO of Trek Industries had more than defense on his mind. In 2026, he made a statement about his college years, saying that, "What I learned at Olin was the need to solve real problems, and that means that you must be able to reinvent yourself, to think in different ways. Engineering isn't just about science, but about helping people on a real, personal level. So, I'm switching gears in Trek Industries, and it's going to be gigantic." There was speculation in the media about this, but there was only silence from the CEO. In 2039, Joshua Eisdorfer released his plans, and they were literally Earth-shaking. He announced that his company would begin plans for the terraforming of Northern Africa and the Middle East, explaining that, "I learned how to help. I've always wanted to help. That's why, when I formed Trek Industries, I said that 7% of profits would always go to charity. This is just an extension of that." As of now factories are being set up in Northern Africa, getting ready. It seems as if the world is seeing real, tangible change for good, but Eisdorfer says the the best is yet to come.
