Princess Consort Casey Leigh-Campbell gives virtual tour of ODEN Warehouse in Port Davon

The Organization of Drug Exporting Nations in Kalistan, or ODEN-K has cut a short industrial film featuring Her Highness, the Princess Consort Casey Leigh-Campbell. The film, "ODEN for Health and Happiness" talks about the role the cartel plays in Kalistani society. ODEN is responsible for not only supplying and distributing high quality recreational chemicals and paraphernalia in ODEN stores across the Nation, but also in researching, manufacturing and distribution of Kalistani pharmaceuticals. The Princess Consort was asked to narrate the film which shows off ODEN's vast manufacture and distribution operations in the Nation, as well as providing a tour of ODEN's Warehouse facilities at Port Davon where it sells drugs to the rest of the world.

"Every year, a bustling trade of more than 2.3 billion Imperial Pesos happens right here on this dock," says the Princess Consort in the film. While this is the official figure, most of those observing the trade said that compared to the street value of the drugs sold by ODEN to foreign dealers, that number is strikingly low--Some estimate that by the time they are finally sold to the customer, the drugs sold out of Kaliburg are worth between 20 and 30 Billion Imperial Pesos. "ODEN sells drugs and pharmaceuticals wholesale so that people world wide can have access to the highest quality recreational and therapeutic chemistry known to man," she added. "And ODEN prides itself in quality. Nothing the organization sells internationally is cut or reprocessed in any way. ODEN leaves this to the wholesale buyer to tailor to their local markets."

The Princess Consort was chosen to be the spokeswoman for ODEN following a shareholders meeting last year, where ODEN-K representatives decided that they needed a very recognizable face to serve as an anchor for their PR campaign. "We asked Her Highness if she would do the job because we knew she had done some modelling in the past, she's very recognizable domestically and has a growing profile internationally, and ODEN is quite close with the royal family," said current Director Natalie Reynolds. "One of our previous Directors was the Lord Andrew Rohrbach, who's wife was the late Princess of the Empire, Lady Nicolette Ananto-Collins, and he led this organization for decades. We called up House Ananto, they set up a meeting, and here we are."

The shoot took place over one week in Port Davon, where the Princess Consort met with workers at the Main ODEN Port Davon facilities. There the Her Highness learned about ODEN operations, from start to finish, was given a tour of some of the processing facilities, and marveled at the sheer amounts of product stored in the Warehouse. "I have to tell you," said her Highness, seen speaking in one of the outtakes, "I've never seen so much Dah in my life, and I really think people should come down here and take one of the tours. I don't think people have any idea how much weed, and opium and coke goes through here in a single day. It boggles the mind. And ODEN says they can barely keep up with demand half the time, so all of these drugs go out to the world on different kinds of ships, planes and containers to supply much of Terra's using populations world wide. Just astonishing."

The Princess Consort also was part of a filmed tour which showed the onsite processing center for the Opium used exclusively by Her Imperial Majesty for informal audiences. "In this part of the processing center, they make Her Imperial Majesty's Opium," said the Princess Consort in narration. "I don't believe even she has been here to see this, so, its possible that very few others have either." She discussed the process to remove many of the Opium alkaloids from the material to greatly dilute its strength. "The process in general, which creates small batches of product exclusively for the Empress, gives her opium a readily dissolvable powder which is about one quarter strength, they tell me. But having had tea with Her Imperial Majesty numerous times, I can tell you it still feels like full strength to me!" These and other little anecdotes bring charm to an otherwise straightforward industrial film about an international Drug Cartel.

The Princess Consort then showed off the very formal, businesslike deals being made, where international purchasers arrive by boat, bid on lots during daily auctions, and then load their purchases on board their ships from the ODEN dock. "It's a process that happens as regularly as a clock," she explains. "Dealers worldwide know to show up in Port Davon at the appointed time and participate in the auctions, and then that the things they bought will not only be at the docks by the time they are able to pull into a berth, but that they will be exactly what they ordered and of excellent quality. They get loaded up and they are on their way back to their home countries. Transfers are electronic, and its all taken care of with minimal friction."

The Industrial Film which is titled "ODEN for Health and Happiness" will be supplied on the Internet and over satellite television as an extended commercial for the Cartel, and will also be shown on public broadcasting as a documentary of the Nation's drug and pharmaceutical industry. It was filmed with full knowledge and approval of House Ananto who maintains the public profile of members of the Royal Family.
