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."
