Somehere, in Terquai space...

The science ship Endeavour stood stationary as the scientist Neil "The Grass" Taylor addressed the assembled Humans and Aquans, and the thing which he believed to be a man named Steve (scroll up to my character posts to see who Steve is).

"I would like you to look at these images." The doctor was saying. "All pictures of the exact same point in space, each taken from a different angle." He was cycling through them. There were several. "As you can see, nothing interesting in any one of these. Except for... this one."

And suddenly, there was a planet. Floating right there where in all the other pictures there was absolutely nothing.

"Did it materialize there?" An Aquan scientist asked.

"I thought so, too. But then I took pictures from two more viewpoints." He showed the other two images. Once again, nothing. "The planet is only visible from one perspective. We even passed right through where I projected the planet should be and we hit nothing. Not even a weird reading on the scanners. The planet only exists from that one spot!"

The doctor walked over to the viewing windows and opened the shades. "As you can see, no planet. Helmsman, 1000 metres to the right, please."

The thrusters fired, and suddenly a lush, blue-green planet slid into view where before there was nothing.

"Again, Helmsman." The ship went to the right again, and the planet vanished. "This is a planet that only exists, and is only accessible, through a single doorway in space. And here's something even more interesting. We sent a probe through that doorway just two hours ago. It survived, and is still sending us data. And perhaps th  most interesting thing it's sent us back is evidence of civilization.

With just the smallest of smiles, agent Epsilon-1 sent the recording of that lecture he had just made to Directorate Board of Directors. This is going to be good....
