School girls haven't been an effective stalling tactic for years. I have far too many tentacles for that to work.

Unless it includes Pyramid Facehugger.
What the hell is wrong with you? Why WOULDN'T it involve Pyramid Facehugger?
... Not doing the raping, though. The penis is far, far too small and easy to cut off.
Alright, newbie, it's been a while since I did this, so expect a bumpy ride. Just a reminder, these tests are non-canon, and you don't have to do them all at once. Writing quality and the quality of your actions (not the actions themselves) in the tests will be the only determining factor. That, and the bribe you slip the tester.
Test #1
Congratulations, your people have the great fortune of being able to witness eighteen simultaneous supernovae. This statistical improbable sight comes with one hell of a catch, however. They're all close enough to threaten virtually all of your holdings within a few hundred years. While this seems like a long time, evacuations are expensive affairs. Write the actions and both economic and social effects of a full-population evactuation... or a less than full population evacuation. Your call.
Test #2
Congratulations, your nation is now host to that favorite of self-destructive spirals, the civil war. The galactic community is, surprisingly enough, ignoring your nation's plight, leaving you to sort the mess out yourself. Write the inciting incident of the war and it's effects through the eyes of your citizenry.
Test #3
Congratulations, you have managed to piss off someone much bigger and meaner than yourself, and the international community, the jerks, are ignoring your plight as they tend to do. Survival is unlikely, but if you fight very, very hard, you might be able to last another year or so. Maybe. No, looks like you're down to your last holding and the enemy is at the gates. Funny that. Write the last stand of your people against the numerically and technologically superior foe.
