You've figured out what the penguins want!

You look around with satisfaction at the penguins and humans dancing and playing together to celebrate the holiday season.

When you told the researchers that the penguins wanted to throw A PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE PARTY, they balked. "This is a place of serious scientific inquiry!" they exclaimed. You convinced them that this was the only way to satisfy the penguins and get things back to normal. They grumbled at first, but soon they too were caught up in the festive holiday spirit.

The mess hall around you is now cheerfully decorated with garlands and wreaths. You see the Card Shark dazzling a small, applauding crowd with impressive flourishes and card tricks. The Dancer is leading a group of humans and penguins in a funky line dance out on the dancefloor. Two researchers who had separately sat down with the Fortune Teller for a reading are now shyly looking at each other and at the mistletoe they're standing under. The Tycoon is handing out gifts from beside a beautifully ornamented Christmas tree.

Many of the researchers come over to shake your hand and thank you for your clever negotiations. What a victory! Now they will finally be able to get some research done (after the holidays of course—those grant deadlines can wait).

Something tickles at the back of your mind, as if you've overlooked something. Was there more to uncover if only you dug a little deeper? But as you look again at the festive scene surrounding you… nah, all is well. You take another sip of eggnog and enjoy the successful conclusion of another crisis negotiation.
