Their shuttle's dock was hitted by someone. When they tried to see who was knocking it, he came to know that it was an alien family asking for some help. Darwin uses a specialized device which can translate human language to aliens language (which the scientists received as radio transmitted signals). He asked Who are they and what they need. They looked at them in a pleasing manner. The head of the family said that they belong to the planet where these crew were travelling and they had gone for a tour to a planet which belongs to the nearby galaxy and their ship had few issues. They asked them to drop them in their planet. At first Darwin thought it as a sign of danger but after the few words from his professor that they to need a life to live on their own place and make their fortune,he made them to get into their shuttle.
