Godspeed - the astronaut in charge of testing the teleporter had said - but to who?<br><br>In the year 3050 teleporters were the most common technology in the 6th Galaxy-essentially used for space travel and general traveling. With all technologies there are downsides however.<br><br>In the year 3060,a strange occurrence happened that shocked the galaxy as a whole.<br><br>An astronaut was testing a teleporter,to find a way to make it more efficient,he decided to teleport himself to Earth.<br><br>He appeared in the middle of a desert after a bright flash of light.<br><br>As he turned around to go to his car to return to the lab - he noticed a strange thing.<br><br>There were nothing but sand and stones everywhere-even the skyline had nothing but sand and stones.<br><br>*Strange.* he thought.<br><br>He looked over at his teleporter and saw that it was working normally.<br><br>He decided to call the lab to make sure that the teleporter was really working - he called them and they said that they received the data from the teleporter about the teleportation.<br><br>*Why can't I see anything?* he thought.<br><br>He closed his eyes and teleported back to the lab.<br><br>The other astronaut was surprised to see him.<br><br>"Why did you teleport back? You were supposed to stay longer!" he said.<br><br>"What do you mean why? I saw nothing but sand and stones on the whole Earth." he replied.<br><br>The other astronaut raised an eyebrow. "But that can't be...you can't teleport to a different universe right?"<br><br>The astronaut looked at him. "I know I cant."<br><br>Both astronauts were perplexed.<br><br>They decided to test the teleporter more - by teleporting to different locations in space and on other planets. But they found out that almost all planets were empty and barren.<br><br>It was a huge shock to the galaxy - with the news spreading like wildfire.<br><br>But then,one of the astronauts had an idea.<br><br>"Why don't we teleport backwards,so that we can find a way back to our real universe?" he said.<br><br>The other astronauts were skeptical at first - but decided to give it a try. They were lucky that the teleporter was programmed to remember all the coordinates of every teleportation so it didn't take long to teleport backwards.<br><br>The 2 astronauts held hands as they teleported back.<br><br>They closed their eyes,waiting for the teleportation to end.<br><br>As they opened their eyes,they noticed they were back to their universe.<br><br>They were overjoyed.<br><br>But as they looked at each other - they noticed that one of their eyes were black as coal.<br><br>They looked at each other in shock as they realized that they were from the other universe - and that they had teleported into the wrong universe.<br><br>The 2 astronauts were horrified.<br><br>They had no idea on how to return back to their own universe.<br><br>They were stuck here.<br><br>In a universe that wasn't their own.<br><br>They were alone.<br><br>With no one to talk to.<br><br>They were in a future they didn't know.<br><br>They were the only ones in the whole universe who knew what happened.<br><br>Their last hope was to tell the people in this universe about what had happened to them.<br><br>But they were afraid on how the people would react to the news.
