Alone in the blank recesses of your mind, you rehearse the speech you are to deliver...
>You intend to deliver an uplifting speech, with few specifics, appealing to timeless values and abstractions. You want to inspire the audience, make sure they remember you, and improve recognition and recall of your personal brand. The title of your speech is - Xenoarchaeology And The Passion Economy: The Future Of Interstellar Growth
>You ultimately need to sell defense systems, and establish a market where one does not currently exist. You should outline a specific threat environment, and present yourself as offering the solution. The title of your speech is - Frontiers Of Order And Competition: Xenoarchaeology And The Pacing Threat
>You should deliver a long and detailed lecture of your scientific research, an in-depth, rigorous exposition of academic advancements with no concession afforded to the intellectual comprehension of the listening audience. The title of your speech is - Catalytic Synthesis Of Polyribonucleic Acids On Supernatant Prebiotic Cryptocrystalline Silicate Incubations Within The Eoarchaean Earth
>(panicking, complete mental breakdown) You literally cannot think of anything. What even is xenoarchaeology? Have you wasted your life? You have nothing to show this audience... just stammer something like... We uh, must... go forwards, not backwards; upwards, not forwards? Always twirling, twirling... twirling towards Freedom...
>This planet will provide the best oppprtunity for a live demonstration, an experiment... have Baron Sleng on his ship the Ramasun follow you here, and release the Prototype Combat Specimen at the conference to observe the results
>Did you know that the security at many investment events is utterly nonexistent... Come to think of it, you haven't even seen any warfleets at all in the vicinity. Command Baron Sleng and his ex-pirates to seize and annex this planet, alongside everything and everyone on it. This perhaps serves as a better demonstration of interstellar investing than any conference speech could provide.
>Something else...?
