563 Would We Do That?

"Greetings ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Terminus. I am Commander Keres and it is a pleasure to meet you this morning. I have brought my advisor and a pair of technicians with me today in case you had some technical questions but in our culture, I am the only one you need to complete any sort of simple business dealings." Max greeted the assembled aliens.

[Good point. You're much better styled now than you were before.]
