The leader of the Nieznannies has a deal set up to buy aerogel compartments reinforced with amorphous fullerenes from the Black Eye Galaxy,but has agreed to listen to Earth's pitch first. As a leading sales team in the U.S.A. you and a partner (or small group) need to put together an infomercial explaining why cells are a better form of organization. It is also known that the Nieznannis love vacationing at HAT-P-2b, GJ 1214 b, our very own Europa as well as several other planets. You need to personalize your sales pitch to one of these locations and explain what types of cells and characteristics would be advantageous to that environment. ||
