The Missing Disclaimer

** "The Missing Disclaimer" by Samuel J. Sackett is a humorous science fiction story about an alien invasion threatened by a simple mistake. It follows K-17, a Rigelian disguised as a human, whose mission is thrown into chaos after reading a science fiction story strikingly similar to his own situation in "Atomic Science Stories." The story mirrors his own predicament, suggesting that humans know more than they let on about the Rigelian presence. The plot centers on K-17's growing paranoia and the potential exposure of his race’s covert operation due to the magazine's missing legal disclaimer. Themes of deception, identity, and the unexpected consequences hinge on the simple oversight that could blow a much bigger operation. **
