Thank you, your honor. People of the senate, you have been called here today because we have a problem, a matter of national security. As you all know, two days ago, an object of massive proportions landed on the banks of the Mississippi River. Now, our scientists have taken measurements and done readings of the object. We now believe this a large ship, potentially carrying alien life forms. We do not know for sure. We also do not know, if there are aliens inside, if, or when, they will emerge. We also do not know how this will affect our people. So, with so many unknowns, today we must vote. Should we make contact? Or should we make the, in my opinion, a much wiser decision, and attempt to destroy it. This would erase any possibility of a threat to our society, our children! (pause to calm herself) Anyway, let’s begin the debate.

(woefully, faking sadness) Thank you. My husband was not just a great man and leader, but also, a loving husband and father. He always put us, his family and country first. So today, instead of mourning, I’d like us to celebrate the life he led, all the good he’s done for this territory and Avalyn as a whole. That’s all I feel I can say.

What are you talking about? We just got back from wh- Oh. (sighing) The funeral. (regained composure, condendensing) Jada dear, you know I’ve had this meeting planned since before the shooting, this just… wasn’t always the desired subject matter.
