Diplomatic Silence

After the interplanetary treaty was signed, I was making small talk with the Gurangnoid History Keeper.


"I examined the records, and I found that my race had previously visited Earth, you know. Quite a violent situation."


"Really? Did they land in Roswell, New Mexico?"


The Keeper examined the globe of Earth that was part of the centrepiece for the nibbly buffet.


"Close, but no. It was here."


I looked at the Yucatán Peninsula.


"And how long ago was this?"


"Oh, sixty-six million of your years ago. We overreacted to the reception we got, to be honest."


"Um... Don't mention it."
