The famous space explorers, Hans Guntern and his brother Jurgen Guntern were adventuring in an asteroid field just outside the Solar System when they noticed something flashing in the distance. They went closer.
"Hans, what do you think it is?"
"I don't know, I'm scanning it."
SCAN COMPLETE. OBJECT IS UNKNOWN.
"Well that's just great! What do we do now Jurgen?"
"Let's go closer."
"are you crazy!! It could be dangerous."
"We're in an asteroid field which is full of lethal gases and explosive rocks. Should we really be bothered about a small flash in the distance?"
"Ok, let's go."
When they reached the devise making the flash, they accidentally triggered it by crashing into it. Something which looked just like a portal materialised in front of them and it sucked them in.
Several minutes later they were spat out of the portal. But they weren't in the asteroid field.
"Jurgen..."
"Ok, ONE mistake."
"*really angry* We're not even in the solar system!!!"
"Ok, I'm scanning."
SCAN COMPLETE. LOCATION UNKNOWN. COMPUTER RECOMMENDS SENDING A SIGNAL BACK TO EARTH.
"Very well."
A few hours later, they got a reply.
"Guntern, we've worked out that sadly, you are even in our galaxy anymore."
"I see."
"How did you get there anyway?"
"We accidentally triggered a device floating around an asteroid field."
"Think you can find another device ?"
"We'll look"
After a few hours of searching, they found the other device and went through the portal back to Earth.
