So as our star-wanderers are mining out a choice asteroid, they stumble across
an intersecting passage not on their plans.  They follow it for some distance,
and happen upon a control room, where they find a note (set on a control panel)
saying "Please do not disturb this spacecraft.  We have parked it here while on
a visit to a pretty little garden we found on the third planet from the star
at the center of this system.  We'll be back when we're ready to return to the
overpopulated-madhouse Orion arm of this junked-out galaxy we came from early
this morning."
