We're going to take over the galaxy! (Except a small planet behind Sirius that I never really liked. Weird restaurants.)

Agenda 

Today's agenda:
  1. Board of Directors recruiting: Find aliens that can help us
  2. e-Learning: Instructional videos from experienced consultant, Darth Vader
  3. Procurements: get a spaceship
  4. Non-Human Resources: build a robot army

FIRST STEP: Find some help! 

We must find an alien civilization to help us in adquiring knowledge, developing technologies and filing taxes (maybe they are advanced enough to understand those forms)
