Aliens Hired Humans as Accountants—We Audited Their Empire to Death | HFY Stories

*Humans didn't conquer the galaxy with weapons. They did it with spreadsheets.*

When the Kheltar Dominion hired Terran auditors to reassure their investors, they expected rubber stamps and polite nods. What they got was Arun Belay and his team of relentless bean-counters who treated numbers like sacred texts—and lies like personal insults.

The Dominion had ruled for centuries through hidden ledgers, creative accounting, and debts designed to never be repaid. Their books were flawless. Their empire was stable. Their future was secure.

At least, that's what they believed.

But humans have a special talent for asking uncomfortable questions. And when you give them full access to your financial records, they don't just look at the numbers you show them—they start measuring the shadows those numbers cast.

What begins as a routine audit becomes a high-stakes game of fiscal detective work, where every discrepancy reveals another thread, every thread leads deeper into the dark, and the galaxy's oldest empire discovers that you can't hide the truth forever. Not when humanity has calculators, stubbornness, and an almost religious devotion to making the books balance.

Watch as accountants become unlikely heroes, spreadsheets become weapons, and one empire learns the hardest lesson of all: the numbers always tell the truth, whether you want them to or not.
