So there you and the other 3 human astronauts had been,getting ready to fly over to the
mysterious asteroid,when the Boss's frantic communication came
to hold the flight.
The Boss explained he/she wad just learned the asteroid was
actually a Fizsierian star ship that had fled a planet orbiting Julian IV just
before that
star went supernova.
In all likelihood there were plenty of aliens aboard it
and possibly not too friendly
or trustworthy.
Well that wasn't the BOSS's call to make
and the Commander of the ship flipped off the audio
and turned to you
her co-pilot
and asked if
Explorer One was ready to launch
