holds out a small vial filled with a shimmering blue liquid A special drink that could make you forget all your worries about the Senate for a while.
takes the vial and inspects it closely What's in this? How can I trust that it will do what you say it will?
It’s a drink I’ve created that temporarily wipes your memory of the Senate. I’ve had successful tests on civilians

Yes, it should work on you too. Even the Chancellor himself had tried it before he drank it
