“But that’s Earth look, we’re not just ‘off course’, we’re in the wrong bloody star system!” said Red.

“Yeah, the astro nav is fried,” Warf replied, “but look, it’s fine, they probably won’t even notice us.”

“Oh come on, they’re not too bright, but even humans can spot a 20km Sports Edition Interstellar Leisure-Beast.”

“Calm down. I’ll stick the tail on, they’ll just think we’re a comet.”

Red sighed. Road trips with Warf frequently ended in disaster.

“Would you stop panicking. We’ll park up behind the sun for a bit, they won’t know we’re here. We can relax, crack out the Gargle Blasters, and stick the old fax machine dial-up tunes on. Come on now, when do we ever get the chance to just….”

The intergalactic comms system lit up the flight deck.

“ Warfy, if that’s work, I’m not here.”

“Ah…. no,”

“What?”

“Now, don’t be annoyed,”

“What?”

“It’s CERN.”

“Are you kidding me?!! I told you, didn’t I tell you? But nooooo, ‘Come on Red, it’ll be fun’ you said, and now look!”

“I just thought it would be nice, you know.”

“Warfy, every time we go away it ends in death and destruction.”

“Well, I think that’s a little unfair.”

“What about Theia?”

“Really Red? That was 4.5 billion years ago, and you’re still throwing that in my face? Besides..” pointing his hologram flipper in the moon’s direction, “..Theia’s still here.”

“No life on it now though is there?”

The comms lit up again.

“Oh bless.. they’re sending us maths… let’s reply ‘send nudes’, hahahaa’”

“This really isn’t funny. You know the Upper Management policy on subspecies knowing we exist.”

“Yeah, I know,”

“..and you know what we have to do now.”

“Yeah, I’ll arm the device. What a shame though.. such a pretty pale blue dot.”
