"The Door No Engineer Could Open — He Just Knocked"| HFY

For six years, the Quellathi Engineering Corps threw everything they had at one sealed door. Plasma, acid, sonic lances, prayers. Nothing worked. Then a county meter reader with a granola bar and a dinner-roll-sized key ring strolled up looking for a water meter. This is a comedy-flavored HFY story about the most casual way anyone has ever walked into an alien empire's most sacred place, and the auditor who figured out what it meant a few seconds too late.
