Due to an over active imagination that has the attention span of a "Ooh look a Squirrel", cough, cough, where was I, span of a Goldfish I present a different story to the one I started this morning.

A century ago, humanity joined the Galactic Council in celebration- never realizing one mistranslated word had quietly rewritten the deal. When the Council finally comes to collect its "tribute," Earth answers with confusion... then fury. As fleets clash across Sol, a human linguist and an alien Councillor uncover the truth: both sides have been living in different realities, built on the same "perfect" translator. Now they have to end a war nobody meant to start-before pride finishes what ignorance began.
