A blue dot appeared on the intergalactic radar of the alien spaceship as soon as it entered our solar system. A giant 3-fingered hand reached for the console and zoomed in on the dot. The display started to fill up with information in an alien language.

"Go wake the kids, honey. We're almost there." The commanding alien said.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" A second alien replied.

"Of course I'm sure. This is the only habitable planet in this solar system. There used to be another one, but the species who lived there all left and the whole place has now decayed into a giant ball of red dust."

"I'm still not convinced it was a good idea to travel all the way here. This whole neighborhood seems neglected."

"Trust me, honey." the commanding alien replied, "My parents took me here during every vacation cycle. The kids are going to love this place. This planet has everything to offer for a fantastic camping trip."

"Is that a warning message on the dashboard?"

"Probably just a warning that I'm speeding again. Not that anyone is going to notice in this part of the galaxy. I'll just … hmm, that doesn't seem right."

"What's wrong?"

"The planet seems to be inhabited now."

"How is that possible? You told me there was no intelligent life present on the planet."

"There wasn't! Hold on, I'll scan the entire system again."

The two alien figures watched the terminal as the ship's sensors gathered the information.
"Well, that's new," The commanding alien said. "It seems a genetic malfunction sparked an evolution with the tree-hugging animals on the planet. They've taken over the entire place!"

"Is it still safe for us to spend our holiday cycle there?"

"I'm not sure, they are producing a lot of noise at the moment," The alien said with a worried voice. "I'm surprised our scanners hadn't picked up on them already."

"That doesn't sound good." The other alien replied. "I don't want to take our kids down there. Do you remember what happened to that family, who ran into another intelligent life form during their vacation? They were probed, Julian! Probed! And not in a good way!"

"It seems they have started exploring other planets in this solar system as well."

"In that case, we need to turn back and warn the authorities. If they are about to start exploring space, we need to monitor them and find out if they're the probing type of species."

"Fine, I guess you're right." The commanding alien reluctantly said. "But it doesn't look like we're going camping any time soon unless we can find another blue planet before the kids wake up."
