Search for Aliens in the Solar System
My looney sister believes in aliens. I've tried convincing her that there are no aliens in our solar system, but she just doesn't believe me! "Prove it," she says. I'm so tired of her talking about aliens, so I sneaked into the other room and grabbed dad's solar system planetary teleportation device; this little machine will transport us anywhere in the solar system in the blink of an eye. The problem is that the teleporter has a 15 minute limit before it notifies the account owner (my dad) of the trip. I only have 15 minutes to prove once and for all that our solar system has no aliens if I don't want to be caught!

The Aliens are lost and floating aimlessly in space. They bumped into an asteroid and it jarred and jammed the control panels. They need to get them all reset, so they can restart the spaceship, adjust the navigation and break out of outer space.
