Put your lemon helmets on!

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)

Find an alien civilization

FOURTH STEP: Amass loyal subjects 

I've really got to go. Mom's cooking dinner and all that.

In the meantime, would you please build some robot army? thanks!

Thanks and additional homework 

That's enough for today. Thanks for attending this course. I really hope that will help you unwind a little and collaborate in my upcoming galactic empire.

Homework: read about some historic conquest business cases (I hope Amazon random selection doesn't pick anything disgusting)
