[ WP ] NASA finally sends a manned mission to Europa , but while investigating a crevice in the ice , they find a crashed Voyager 1 . So if Voyager 1 crashed on Europa ... what has been transmitting signals to Earth all this time ?

`` In here, Professor.'' said the curly haired man, as he slid an ID card through the simple slot next to the massive gleaming steel door. 
 
 As Professor Stone shuffled nervously through the door into the gloom, his eyes began to adjust. The space was deceptively small and put him in the mood of a storeroom. One small window was covered, and the lamp had been removed from the ceiling. The only light he had to guide himself came from the dim glow of some black-lights, which had been arranged around the object, along with a sophisticated toolbox. He almost tripped, and looked down to find thick cables snaked from the lights to outlets on the walls. It was quiet, and yet he almost felt as though someone was breathing on his neck. The hairs on the back of his arms began to stand on end. 
 
 He turned to the curly haired agent, who had entered behind him. `` Why are there no decent lights in here?'' he said. 
 
 `` We'd rather people did n't take any decent photographs yet.'' said the agent. The professor noticed his name-tag said Evans. `` Besides, something about it disturbs people when they look at it in the light.'' Stone had to admit to himself that he understood what they meant. Even in this limited light, the probe felt foreboding, like it took up too much room for the size it was. When you tried to look away, your eyes could n't help but slide back. He shivered. He felt like it was going to pounce. Which was absurd. It was a machine, not some alien creature. He suddenly wished very fervently that he had n't thought of that. 
 
 `` I'll be back later, Doc.'' said Evans, his voice a long drawl. `` Remember, just check it out and give us your opinion on whether it's the real deal.'' Before Stone could ask any questions the man was gone. A feeling stole over him that he was n't the first to have done this. It would only make sense, he was n't exactly the greatest expert on Voyager 1. 
 
 He glanced at it. Was it Voyager 1? It certainly looked right, at least from the outside. He sighed, and rolled up his sleeves. 
 
 Some hours later, Agent Evans returned to find the Professor sat carefully against a wall, looking tired. The probe was once again open to the world. `` Well?'' he asked. 
 
 `` It's not ours, but you knew that already,'' said Stone. `` It's certainly very similar but it's put together slightly differently. Screws in different places, that sort of thing. Mind you, some of the capacitors look very strange. How was it replaced? Come to think of it, how did you bring it back from so far out?'' 
 
 `` We did n't.'' said Evans, the corner of his mouth turning up slightly. `` This is the one we found on Europa. That alone took a lot of effort.'' The Professor blinked. It was something he had n't considered. He thought for a moment. A hoax? 
 
 `` What I do n't get is how anyone pulled something like this off,'' he said, his brow furrowing. `` Who else had the resources to get this out there without us knowing?'' 
 
 The agent gave a smile so horrible that the rest of his face seemed to want to sidle away. `` We do n't think it came from Russia,'' he said. The look in his eyes could give a man nightmares. `` The Golden Record gave us some hints.'' 
 
 `` Can I see it?'' said Stone, eagerness pouring out of him like a tap. `` Any differences?'' 
 
 `` Well, it's busy elsewhere at the moment,'' said Evans, his tone hollow. `` Still, I'll tell you some things. None of the languages match anything we know. Even the top linguists ca n't trace them to anything common.'' He paused. His face was taking on a waxy sheen. `` The music, well that was just noise. Screeching and deep rumbling. Either the record was damaged, or...'' his voice trailed off. 
 
 `` What about the images?'' said Stone, almost against his will. The Agent was starting to disturb him. 
 
 `` Oh, those came out fine.'' said Evans, his voice strained, as though he was talking from a great distance away. `` I've never seen any tripedal humans before. Maybe that's why they all look so angry in the pictures.''
