Crude? Not crude, Alana, you are wrong here. It is ... beautiful!
Miei amici, there's more to be made here than credits. Yes, I've heard those rumors too. Have you ever stumbled upon entertainment channels of the Neural Net? You ever had a glance at a tasteless and meaningless corporate pulp that houses serve to their people as leisure? Let me tell you this: Sirius longs for a show that will lit the fire of true passion in their hearts, that will unleash the real fear, and real joy... And tell me, is there anything else in our universe that will make your skin crawl in excitement more than watching your champion fight for his life, just in front of your very eyes? Doubtful!
This bold move will surely bring the eyes of whole Sirius upon as, and once we get their attention, we could finally show them the true colors of Malta: our heartwarming music, our breathtaking art, our forgotten history, our bold ideals ... To gain influence, you've got to win the hearts of the people, not just embitter them with your might. You know that! This... this is our chance!
If that doesn't convince you, think of the practical implications. Such a cultural hub will surely attract many people to itself, because ... well, we are like that... We flee into the unknown, the exotic, like moths to the light. Those people will surely be willing to spend more credits to delve into the unknown, to taste in their lifetime what's alien and forbidden at least once. Think of all the shops, music theaters, or even houses of love we could place in there. Because well ... we could and should expand!
Modular arenas to recreate struggles between our brethren, a safe tabernacles for cardamine use, large alleys for stalls and street performers to nest in... a true visit to Malta, without the dreadful mutations.
You MUST agree. It MUST come true... but where? What's the place suitable or such a station?
