One of the plastic boxes on the table is obviously intended for a human hand. You don't recognize the logo. You place your hand on it. Things get real blurry.

Suddenly you can see time stretching out before you as you would look upon a mountain range. Its one of the most amazing experiences of your life. You catch a glimpse of a very interesting future encounter between yourself and a significant other involving a box of fruit rollups. You try to focus in on the event when a booming voice says: "DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THAT!!!"

Suddenly time collapses and folds and you are left only with the articles on this ship, in chronological order:
