The first contact with extraterrestrial beings was going fairly well, until they asked a question through their translation device.
"Why do you say this is first contact? What happened to our previous emissary?"
There was a brief pause as the humans all looked at each other.
"You mean the one 70 revolutions or so ago, in Roswell?"
"No?"
The humans blinked.
"100 cycles ago, in Russia, there was an explosion-"
"No, not then."
"...
Jesus Christ???"
"No, the advance scout last week!"
We eventually tracked them down in Ibiza, where they were having a fun time, which helped smooth things over.
