Officer: What do you mean you can't remove it?
Human: Don't you people have lessons on human ana--? Ugh! It's a part of me, okay!
Officer: Even still, we can't let you into the warp gate with that container without allowing us examine its contents.
Human: Here? Really, I'm going to miss my portal!
Officer: Yes
Human: You'll have to cut me open, in that case!
Officer: Is that a threat, human?
Human: No! I mean, my stomach is literally part of my biology. I was born with it. It's filled with acid because it turns our food into energy!
Officer: Humans are not a first-order species. You do not have the capability to turn matter into energy.
Human: Grr, that's not what I meant! The food enters the stomach and melts it down, then we use that as fuel. Please tell me you know what an engine is?
Officer: What does a machine have to do with this?
Human: Gahds flippin' fuckin'!!! The stomach is our engine! It's a biological engine and we will die if you remove it from our body!
Officer: We still can't let you through the warp gate with such acid hiding in your body, I'm afraid we'll have to confiscate it.
Human: Arrrghh!! Did you not hear anything I just said?!
Officer: Calm down, we will resolve this in an orderly manner. Our technician will be here shortly to examine you to determine the best course of action.
Human: You fucking--!!! Mmmmmm!!!! Haaaaaaa....
Technician: I'm here, what did you want to-- you're a moron, Officer.
Officer: Our scanner reported that this human was hiding a dangerous substance within his body, being found carrying it is a violation of intergalactic law.
Technician: Humans are exempt from this law, you idiot. They're a third-order species that still relies on biological functions for survival. This is Galactic Species Biology 101, everyone knows it.
Officer: So are you going to remove the substance from him or not?
Technician: Good job changing the subject. No. Here, human, some medicine to dilute your stomach acid. I'm surprised you didn't take any before going into the gate, it's a requirement for your species to be allowed in here.
Human: Sorry, I was so tired that I forgot.
Technician: Well, don't forget next time. Oh, and your warp gate's closed.
Human: WHAT?! FUCK!

This is excellent, a combination of a misunderstanding of biology and not following basic rules for your species. Well written

Nice! I had to read this out loud to my roommate and we both loved it. This deserves my upvote and poor man's award... 🏅
