“Any planet is 'Earth' for those that live on it.”

― Isaac Asimov, Pebble in the sky

If you asked an astronomer which one is the most distant astronomical object observed, the likeliest thing is they’d replay why’d you want to know that, if you’re never gonna travel that far; and then they’d explain that the most distant astronomical object observed is a galaxy 13.1 billion years away christened as UDFy-38135539. Of course, that’s assuming that you asked the question in 2020, the earthling year. Though if you’d asked a Zeiwenard astronomer, citizen of the only habited planet in the UDFy-38135539 galaxy, they would’ve told you that distance is irrelevant in the 4830-2 of Zeiwei and that the only thing you gotta do to arrive to the most distant astronomical object observed is taking an intergalactic lift, or take a sidereal taxi if you don’t mind spending a bit more cash.

Planet Zeiwei, however, doesn’t have scientists that can be used as a personal encyclopaedia. It’s a service planet (or, as the humans put it: those motorways petrol stations) that’s only fitted with five workers, three of them being cashiers and cleaners, and the rest being guards. Guards that, if sensed the slightest violation of the law, call for back-up with the station’s telephone. 

At the moment, two police officers, a man and a woman, aim their guns at the other end of the station’s shop. 

“YOUNG LADY! DON’T MOVE AN INCH! TELL US WHERE PHIL NEWTON IS AND WE WILL LET YOU GO! PUT DOWN-- LISTEN, PUT THE MEGAPHONE DOWN AND COME WITH YOUR HANDS UP!”

And in that planet Zeiwei, gas station and point of interest of every smuggler in that side of the universe, a portal in the ground is generated by a gun similar to a megaphone, handled by a young lady with a yellow tweed suit -a nuisance when you’re trying not to get identified, but the latest fad in the Cadmium planet- prepared to jump when a blue flicker smashes into her arm, and Blodyn Blood falls out of control in the black hole.
