"Hey boss, we just got a signal from an unidentified planet."
"What do you mean unidentified!? My map is complete!"
The planet that the boss had missed was called Earth. And the people questioning the boss's map were called the Wanderers. Well, at least the top admins of the Wanderers. The Wanderers were a group of intergalactic space pirates who plunder planets just for the sheer joy of it. And the boss. Well, he's a mysterious figure who is only known as the Traveler. Not much is known about him, apart from the fact that he is a master in eight different forms of martial arts. Even his gender is unknown. But whatever he is, all they could be sure about is the present. And right now he was royally pissed. Normally, he was a light shade of blue. But now, he was as red as the lava that erupts from Mt. Vesuvius. And to top it off, the frills on the top of his head had expanded like a cobra about to strike. This is when he is at his scariest.
"Sorry boss. This is the best we could do." Said Pestril.
Pestril was the brains of the team, after the boss of course. He came from the planet Antraloc. He was furious when Dr. Terario Przylant, an upstart from nowhere, came and dethroned him as the leading expert on interplanetary travel. The final straw was when Dr. Przylant was named as head of the Antralocian Inter Planetary Committee, or AIPC in short. It was soon after that that he met The Traveler. The two of them eventually started the Wanderers.
"Never mind Pestril." Said the Traveler. "Just set course for the planet. If it's not on my map, then it hasn't been plundered."
And that was the end of that story, as well as the meeting. Everyone went to their stations to carry out their duties. The WSS Predator was the Wanderers' flagship and was where all the leaders of the Wanderers stayed. At the top, of course, was the Traveler. His second in command was Pestril, who also doubled as the communications officer. Under Pestril came the weapons, engineering, and medical officers.
In his quarters, the Traveler sat down at his table and opened up his map. He immediately honed in on the location of the unidentified planet. What his team doesn't know is that there's a reason the planet is unidentified. And if he has his way, then he's taking that reason to his grave.
