“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

　　Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

　　It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

　　“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

　　“ENTER NAMES

　　VOYAGE　１

　　VOYAGE　２

　　Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

　　“INPUT ACCEPTED.

　　START

　　TRANSPORT

　　PROGRAM.

　　AUTO-RETRIEVE

　　INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”

　　The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
