Once upon a time, there were some brave explorers who traveled to a faraway planet. They were on a mission to discover new things and learn about the world around them. As they were exploring, they stumbled upon a strange object that they had never seen before.

The object was glowing and pulsing with energy. It seemed to be calling out to them, begging them to come closer. The explorers were curious and cautiously approached the object. As they got closer, they could feel a strange power emanating from it.

Without warning, the object suddenly burst open and a blinding light filled the area. When the light faded, the explorers were amazed to find that they had been granted incredible powers. They could fly, shoot lasers from their hands, and even read each other's thoughts.

Excited by their newfound abilities, the explorers began to test them out. They flew around the planet, zapping rocks and trees with their lasers, and having a great time. But as they continued to use their powers, they started to feel a strange sensation in their bodies.

Their skin began to turn a sickly green color and their eyes started to glow. They soon realized that the powers came at a high cost - they were slowly turning into aliens themselves. Panicked, they tried to reverse the effects, but it was too late.

The explorers were now fully transformed into aliens, with no way to turn back. They had to learn to adapt to their new forms and find a way to survive on the distant planet. They had been warned that the artifact came with a price, but they never could have imagined it would be this high.

From that day on, the explorers lived as aliens on the distant planet, using their powers to explore and learn about their new home. They may have lost their human forms, but they gained a whole new world to discover and call their own. The end.
