The aliens who abandoned a fictional NATO application have returned for a second attempt at the procurement portal.
The aliens who abandoned a fictional NATO application have returned for a second attempt at the procurement portal. Their spacecraft meets every technical requirement except possession of a recognized five-character postal address.
Colonel Liberty Hawk watched the delegation enter coordinates, star names and a small diagram of spacetime. The form accepted only numbers and then rejected the numbers as geographically implausible.
Heinrich offered one of his alleged addresses, but the system requested evidence that the forest had a mailbox. The aliens finally rented a storage locker and passed validation. Their bid was disqualified moments later because the locker lacked sufficient experience delivering interstellar equipment. They congratulated Earth on a defense system no invading force could complete.
