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

*Turns in her seat, kneeling to peer over the back at Baron.*

Honey, you don't look too good. What have you been up to, and how come we weren't invited? Do you know your left-hand cockroach wing is torn a bit?


Not my left, your left.

*hands the Baron a c|_/ of bloody mary - extra tabasco. No words needed *

*Hands Linus a big, blue mushroom.*

Hello there Ali, long time no speak

I just got back from the great beyond on Friday. How have you been? It's great to be back amongst friends.

I am well as far as i am aware LOL.

All the better for having you back of course my dear

Right, now that we're all together again, I say it's time to decide where this shuttle is going to take us

Given that Ali's mushroom is just starting to kick in probably best i don't make that decision...

You decide, Kheldar. We'll have a drink in the meantime. Maybe a nice toast to great friends would be in order. Cheers, Dears.

Whoohoo! This is fun!

*Swigs a cold beer and starts to fiddle with the buttons by her chair*

I wonder what this one does?????

*The view screen displays a very large asteroid belt, getting larger by the minute*

Err....chaps? Shazz? I thought we were supposed to be going around this...

Oh dear, here we go again...
I'm not driving this time. It's not my fault!!

Oh no!!
I specifically instructed the navvie system to avoid these!
You just can't trust Majel anymore can you!
OK... hold onto your beers... this could get rough!
We're off to Deimos btw... home of the great white bear, so BBS will feel at home
( have you any idea how hard that lot was to type when you're pissed!)
shazzPRME

For you? Absolutely

I thought you said "great white beer" there for a second...

*Giggles and slides back into her seat.*

Why Deimos, Shazz? Anything special going on there?

I hope so! I have heard that they have a pleasure city to end all pleasure cities! It is situated in a huge underground cavern with plenty of side attractions! If we can just navigate through these asteroids we will have the party of the century!
~~~~~***~~~~
*The shuttle suddenly lunges violently to the left, and shazz only just manages to stop from spilling her drink*

Oops! This could get tricky!

~Calls out from the back of the shuttle~
Hey, be careful where you're flying. I'd hate to waste alcohol

~mutters to himself~
Sunday drivers...

~also mutters... any day would be a good day to drive... close mutters~
Are you offering to take the controls then Kheldar?
shazzPRME

No thanks, you keep going. Like somebody once told me, it's a bad thing to leave things unfinished. I just started my beer, so...

~ mutters... typical back-seat drivers! Always complaining and never driving!~
OK... well, just no more complaints then please! It's not my fault that the onboard computer can't navigate very well! Perhaps they hadn't finished testing it properly before they hired it out!
