Then it will fly back through the the Oort cloud, picking up lots of ice chunks on the way, and become the most spectular comet of the year 81008. And then as it loops around the sun it will enter a small wormhole (fantastic aiming, guys) where it will get shot mega-lightyears through space, and back through time to get picked up by a vast machine intelligence in the 23rd century. This intelligence will insist on calling it V'ger, and will carry it back to earth just in time for the 1st Star Trek movie.
