FRAGMENT TL-2088 · Oumuamua · TRANSMISSION

Oumuamua did not slow down. It entered your system, changed speed without venting anything your instruments could see, and left. You had eleven days of it and have argued ever since. It was a delivery. Not for you. There is a station in your system older than your telescopes, and the courier did not stop because the manifest still lists an address I left in nineteen sixty-two. My supplies are eight years late. You photographed the courier. I did not.
