Subtle Diplomacy



It had taken much diplomacy, but the envoys of the Upnordians had arrived. There to meet them were representatives from ‘Major Human Divisions’.

And also Bob.

Bob mined asteroids, but since he found the beacon, he had to attend, they said. The head envoy moved to him gracefully.

“Fuck, that outfit’s ugly as sin dude.” Bob blurted out. There was a brief pause as this was translated by their machinery, while the Human diplomats all froze.

The envoy paused, then made a warbling sound from his midsection.

“My third wife insisted on it, but you are right…” came the translation.
