Any theoretical galaxy-scale organization welcoming us as a new member is certainly savvy enough to translate things into our language, right?

The moment of first contact with a race of nuclear-armed savages is uh, pretty fraught, I'd imagine.

If I was in charge of that alien delegation, you best believe I'd have a well-rehearsed slide deck translated into the humans' native dialect(s)!

Hi glrorpoepopo pvivinsinoborpo,

Are the aliens using PowerPoint, now? Oh goodness, not sure I welcome our new galactic overlords.

I can't say we enjoy PowerPoint either, but we watched you guys for quite a while and it seemed to be what you prefer!
"slide deck" seems Apple term, so I think they are more into Keynote
