Minutes:

		1. Review of Zlorg threat analysis:
		* Being, Xexuon: "The Zlorgs are a force to be reckoned with. Their energy signature is unlike anything we've seen before. We must be prepared."
		* Representative, Thlunk: "I concur. Our defense forces are woefully inadequate. We need more guns."
		* Chairbeing, Zorvath: "Let us not rush into hasty decisions. We must consider the long-term implications of war."
		* Representative, Krix: "But what if they just want to trade with us? Perhaps we can establish a mutually beneficial relationship?"
		* Representative, Vrath: "I highly doubt it. The Zlorgs are a species of pure, unadulterated evil."

		2. Proposal for diplomatic overtures with Zlorgs:
		* Chairbeing, Zorvath: "I propose we establish a galactic embassy to facilitate communication. We must show them we mean no harm."
		* Representative, Xexuon: "I concur, but we must also prepare for the worst-case scenario. We cannot trust them."

		3. Review of planetary defense protocols:
		* Representative, Thlunk: "I recommend we bolster our defense forces. We must be prepared to defend our homeworlds."
		* Representative, Krix: "But what of the Zlorgs' claims of peaceful intent? Should we not give them the benefit of the doubt?"
		* Chairbeing, Zorvath: "We must be cautious, but also open-minded. Let us not jump the gun."

		4. Adjournment:
		* Chairbeing, Zorvath: "The committee will reconvene in one rotation to discuss further. We will reconvene at 0300 hours tomorrow."
