I know... On Star Trek Voyager, they found a pickup truck in the delta quadrant. Wouldn't that be fun in Oolite? Or maybe a house? How about a mission to find Terra?
And then we find out Terra is actually Raxxla...

You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
