You're the best thing about Christmas
I have an announcement to make. Pentu, the Gebian minister of science, will be paying us a visit in a week. He is greatly interested in the customs of Earth cultures, and the days they celebrate. I am sure you can figure out the reason for his visit already; he would like to learn about Christmas.
The visit is only semi-official, and there is no reason to throw him a welcoming celebration; Pentu is merely here to observe and learn. However, if you have any ideas what to do to impress him, I would be interested in hearing them. The ministry of science is a powerful faction within the High Council; its approval might not only mean more votes for us, but also earlier access to exchange of technologies between our civilizations.
[A few seconds of pause. Is it hesitation?]
...After the latest battle with the AEP, the current leanings of the Council are in their favour. But this could help us tip the scales.
