h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*A small portion of the Ancient One's shell vanishes, revealing a possible chamber that could be entered. However, The Ancient One is already back at the Prison*

Look, guys, we know there are some heavy heavy entities in there, and we need to think of a plan before we just go bursting in like we did last time. I think we should go inside and have a cup of tea, and think it through. And have a look around.

Do I recall something happening to the transportation module on the bridge before I was cribbed? I mean, how are they getting off the planet?

*makes her way to the entrance and steps in, looking around*

*Pops out of the door again*

I'm lost: am I anywhere near the rest of you guys? If so, can you assume I'm tagging along? If not, can you spot me and take me with you? I'm not sure I'll be around this weekend. And Witty may be out in a sec...

*as she is about to follow Lil inside, spots Sol*

Want a hand up? You're just in time for a fresh brew

The prisoners must be intending to use the Ancient One as their transportation off the planet. But we have control of the Ancient One, thanks to Garius. I hope he's taking all this into consideration.


*ferkles around in her backpack inventory, suddenly remembering, and finds a ring with red and green stones, which she slips on*

[Bulma] [as Lil, when she's rummaging through the backpack] What have I got in my pocket ...? A ring?

[Vegeta] Looks pretty precious to me.

*Slides down from his perch on top of the Ancient One and enters the chamber in his side. Calls to Sol and motions her in too.*

Ah, tea! Just what I needed.

*GL addresses himself to a random upper corner of the room*

Um, A1? Do you have any suggestions to help us find Affy?

*steps inside the chamber*

*looks round*

Pretty ring, Lil. Rubies and emeralds?

Probably not, probably a CLI synthetic, but definitely pretty. Garius handed them out, the rings, when we were on the Roswell expedition. The green stone is for communications, and I'm never supposed to use the red stone.

It's so boring when you get told not to do something isn't it? I wonder what the red stones do.

Would Affy have any of those green stones about his person?

Ancient One, would you care for a cup of ? I have most varieties of leaf.

Cool plot twist, Lil Wonder if Affy has HIS ring on.


*GL pops a big wad of PAG in his mouth and begins to chew.*


I'll be away for 2 weeks (working on my house). Just have me tag along if you happen to climb any mountains, or anything.

[Mog takes Garius's hand, and leads him ... er ... wherever they're going next]

*sensing that her body has already recharged the ring, Lil holds the ring close to her mouth, presses the green stone and whispers* Affi?

*There're a few muffled sounds of noise before Julie's voice once again speaks to the adventurers (for the first time in RL months)*

Julie-Hey! You people found Affy yet?

*looks startled as a voice eminates from the ring*

it works! But it doesn't sound much like Affy

Help! I need to refresh my memory on Julie and I can't find the link back to the beginning.

Julie is Affy's on-off girlfriend/bounty hunter. She captured him and traded him to the Coalition of Terror for a bounty they'd placed on his head. Irv spoke with him on the phone near the beginning of the adventure.

*Sits quietly in the corner, sipping tea, and looking aprehansively at the ring*

Thanks. Now I remember.


What's it to ya?
