Liar's Quilt: Station-Xylophone

A Story by Abishai100

Ice-station exchange between Americans and an alien offers an Earth-realm expression of a cool-confidence regarding circulations of words for trust/fortune/distances for leviathan/uncertainty.

Liar-paradox referenced queries-superstitions alien-contact vignette. Thanks for reading (happy last-Feb. weekend, all),

Amlan and Richie were stationed at their ice-station in one of Earth's poles and wondered about all the news-IQ concerning TrumpUSA interest and investment in Greenland for Western eye strength as stories of gossip surfaced about a new axis of alliance between Russia/China, but it didn't matter to the science-officer complementing security me of armed/targeting skill, simply stationed at a 'fort' called Xylophone, since they were (simply) invested in capitalism fencing for the storytellers (Facebook-like).

MARTIAN: You two (American) stationed gents of Xylophone are all top/hat, no?

AMLAN/RICHIE: What do you want with us, alien (hmmm)?

MARTIAN: Relax, soldiers; for I'm simply here on a diplomacy contact secrecy.

AMLAN/RICHIE: What with us 'soldiers' of fortune, alien?

MARTIAN: Liar-paradox Earth-realm defense posture know words for exam, men.

AMLAN/RICHIE: We're not 'examination' sorts for station-fence work, alien.

MARTIAN: Liar-paradox, Americans..."Every statement is incomplete."

AMLAN/RICHIE: Every statement, eh...but not that (IQ-informative) one itself?
MARTIAN: Seems to imply info-communications are goals/compromises.

AMLAN/RICHIE: Oh, so we soldiers-men at Xylophone give word of confidence.
MARTIAN: You're certainly armed with quite 'cool' American designed weapons.

AMLAN/RICHIE: Night vision, alien...maybe Liar-paradox is wrap for the NFL!

MARTIAN: Why American football, soldier-men?

AMLAN/RICHIE: Super Bowl TV-ad culture speaks-a-weight about pro-capitalism!

MARTIAN: That's truth, Americans...maybe you gave word of 'sovereign' oculus.

AMLAN/RICHIE: Farewell, alien (Selfie-like).

What did the Martian want (with Amlan/Richie)? The alien seemed intent on marking the Xylophone-soldiers as diplomat-words messengers of things of Earthling 'know' of superstitions of sovereignty-communications for reliabilities in trust, fortune, Selfie-posturing, and language art of info-demands (for the Ego!). Amlan and Richie had to conclude their exchange (secret!) revealed something of NFL/TV 'qualia' to the spying/curious/communicating alien (for doubt!).
