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

No chance of me becoming a slave and i certainly wouldn't let it happen to my friends...

Now let me think, luckily i've read all the Stainless Steel Rat books so i'm bound to remember something about escaping from this sort of situation

There is always the standard via the air vent ploy of course, or we could use some of that drink to burn a hole on of the walls (shouldn't take too long at all).

I also have a few other ideas up my sleeves, but i might keep them to myself in case the walls have ears...

Well, let's just systematically try all the solutions. I say we start with the easiest one: the drink.

~grabs a bottle of Kourna from the table~

Any ideas as to where we should break on through?

*can't help but start humming the tune *

Well i guess any of the 3 walls without the door in it, or how about the floor...

Just make sure it's an inside wall that you're burning the hole through, please! Things could get bad if you burned through an outside wall.

*Humming the tune too!!*

This is quite a big ship and as far as i can tell we are in the middle of it, so we should be safe

Pick a direction, any direction....

*stands poised to pour the evil spirit (whose name he has forgotten and is not going to look for in the current environment)*

*still humming the tune though *

Kourna. I pick down. Down is always easier.

I think the galley is this way my friend!

Hey,lady! Stop waving that thing around...you might sizzle the wrong person!

*starts to head off in direction of galley with Linus*

I should have known you would be able to find the way to the galley BBS LOL


*Splashes Kourna on the wall and watches it disolve then follows the good Baron through the hole*

~Is just about to follow BBS and Linus. Then remembers Gwennie~

She seems to be alright. I'm not sure if she's able to walk straight though. Can somebody help me get her through the hole? It wouldn't be very nice to leave her here

Kheldar, you are very thoughtful. I'll help you with Gwennie, if Baron will help Linus with the bar fridge. We certainly cannot leave that behind either.

*Helps Kheldar bring Gwennie through the hole. Finds that they indeed have entered the ship's galley. A very surprised looking C.J. is sitting at a booth. Linus grabs up her weapon before C.J. can react. Mari-rae giggles from nervousness, hoping Linus knows how to work the thing.*

*surrepticiosly puts safety on, justin'*

Now CJ, that was rather unfriendly, locking us in like that

All things being equal i would make you cook for us and call it even, but i don't trust you enough yet *waves gun in her general direction*

BBS, i'll defer to your superior knowledge on this matter: Is there anything edible in this place ?

*changes setting to stun and takes safety off*

*pokes tongue out at CJ (mainly to see if the new smiley works)*

~At last, Kheldar managed to squeeze himself through the hole. Ends up in the galley and looks around. Notices C.J.~

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Our good friend C.J. Thanks for the drink. If it wasn't for the Kourna, we would still be stuck in there...

*Snarls and mutters under her breath; something to do with smart-ass hitchers.*

You people are pathetic. My whole family is on board here with us. All I have to do is raise my voice and they'll all come running.

What's your name? Linus? Do you think you are going to be able to use that weapon? The way you're holding it, I don't think you've ever touched a weapon before in your life. Absolutely pathetic.

heh, heh, heh...Nobody's here with you......at least not any more. You realy should have labeled that air-lock better. Set that lazer to sizzle.............I'll eat damn near anything if it's cooked right.

~spots some bottles on a table nearby~

Hey BBS, do you want some sauces to go with that?

Sauces? What do we have to choose from? A1 perhaps?

*Turns pale.*

You didn't. You couldn't have. BEN? AMOS??? DASH????

*She holds her breath and listens, but no one comes. In one swift movement she throws her full coffee cup at Linus's face, and reaches down to pull a knife out of her boot. She leaps over the table toward Baron, but trips over Gwennie and falls flat.*
