Automatic ticket printer, software, uncontrollable space probe
An unusual property of this automatic printer has been discovered: when connected to power, it starts to print out a series of statements that, as it turns out after a scrupulous analysis of the text, are most likely messages from a first-generation space probe, all contact with which has been lost for a long time. The messages are essentially descriptions of the spacescape and various interpretations thereof. You can receive a ticket in one of the four languages of operation and find out what the probe sees and describes at the specific moment.
