“I greatly appreciate you meeting me here at this function, your grace.”
<span class="mu-b">”Of course, Galyo. Anything for a friend... And I'm sure it has absolutely <span class="mu-i">nothing</span> to do with you shopping around for a successor to your position?”</span>
“Oh but I wouldn't <span class="mu-i">dream</span> of it, your majesty. But seriously, there is so much good young talent here.”
<span class="mu-b">”And how goes <span class="mu-i">our</span> special young talent?”</span>
“Oh, erm. It- <span class="mu-i">he</span> is doing very well, your eminence. All behavioral analysis and projections show to your specifications exactly. No loss of innate skill with abstract thought and his talent with computers...”
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Galyo Qint</span></span>, your Science Overseer, wanted to speak with you after the most recent worm incident. During your vow to conquer all star systems in your local cluster, you came across a live space whale in the Drakas system. Both the whale, and the last surviving worm from its belly, ended up as genetic samples in your laboratories.
Of course, the samples will be <span class="mu-i">better when fresh</span>. You want to focus your science budget on studying the samples- but you have to give priority to one. From an alien specimen, you might be able to unlock new genetic codes or technologies from the foreign alien DNA. Which alien species do you want to prioritize?
>Worms
>Whales
