Refugees from OneNote Planet

– Beginning of Confidential Message from the Immigration Committee of the Inter-Planetary Council to the Karmic Committee of Planet 3 of the Solar System –

We strongly recommend that your planet denies the naturalization request of the Sound Engineers from Sushostra immediately. They were even ‘punished,’ as you call it, on your planet. So we don’t understand why they would choose to stay there for the duration of their existence in their current organic life forms. 

The reason they gave for this change of residence is not valid from a juridical point of view. There is no such thing as the excuse that their own planet is too ‘boring.’ They don’t have a legal leg to stand upon. They should be deported to Sushostra at once! Or legal action will be taken against your planet without delay!
