You, are a friendly alien space ship, looking for your damaged friend ship. He is not visible by default, so you have to use youe scanners to track him in space. If your scan is successful you see a cloud, but be aware, there are evil encounters out there. To make really sure that your find is behind the targeted cloud, you have to scan multible times. Good luck and find your friend! :)
