Upon arriving at the asteroid field, they discover that the signal is coming from a spaceship that crashed on the asteroid years ago.

The crew then discovers that the spaceship's crew had been experimenting with a new type of pen that was designed to work in zero-gravity environments. This pen, called the Space Pen, had the ability to write in any direction and on any surface, making it an invaluable tool for astronauts.

However, the pen had unforeseen consequences. The pen's ink was made from a rare mineral that had strange, mind-altering properties. The spaceship's crew had become addicted to the pen's ink, which caused them to become increasingly erratic and paranoid.
