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

I want a of course, it has been a long hard day hasn't it.

Well I got two of the newbies in, we'll see if they pop over for some refreshments.

DD

Sorry... I wasn't thinking there.
*hands over IWA, looks contrite*

*Crawls out of time machine*

Okay, it was just a problem with the nuclear core. Good thing it didn't blow, right? Can I have an IWA, please? And an S17, please? Meanwhile, the moment of truth!

*Pushes button. Three green spheres appear, overlapping each other. They soon fade away.*

Okay, I've got the Micky Mouse duplicator working. I'm still not sure about the thought of having three contained overlapping black holes floating in the air five feet from my face, but hey, what am I gonna do about it. Something still isn't going right, though. Maybe Temporal Wave Condenser . . . so, how's the bond movie going?

*Begins tinkering with time machine again, leaving a note saying "Just drop my doughnuts a few feet to the left. I'll notice them eventually. Thanks."*

*darts worried glance at machine*
*hands over donuts*
Please be careful, with my stall, but with all of us here...

*E steps a bit further away from the time machine.*

Did he tell us that thing was nucleur before he set it up so close to a food outlet? If not should Bluebottle be made aware that a nucleur devise is currently residing on his beach?

Don't worry, all the nuclear stuff isn't actually nuclear. Nuclear refers to the nucleus and nucleolus inside our cells. After all, we wouldn't want them to have heart attacks during the time warps, now would we? Now, if you want to worry about anything, worry about the black holes. That, and the entire rhombus effect . . .

*Notcies plate of doughnuts*

Thanks. Oh, don't worry about the stall. If something went wrong anywhere on the planet, this stall would probably be in trouble anyway. Can you imagine it? A symlpost would be posted about once every seven minutes, and a lot more messages would be repeated. So, this stall is actually probably the safest place on Earth right about now. Other than the black holes.

*Begins tinkering with machine again*

I'm not sure if I believe him but I'll have a S16 while I'm waiting. Although I can't help thinking I'm about to see something I already know something about.

*E worries a bit more*

*hands over S16, looking preoccupied*

Well if it's going to be my last I'll have to have an S16

*hands over S16*
It won't be your last... we'll find a way to survive... H2G2 doesn't have any police, does it?

*E wonders if anyone else saw that...*

*Another Afgncaap5 runs in, panting. Without wasting any time, he runs over to the Afgncaap5 who is still tinkering, and asks "Has the alien come in yet?" Present Afgncaap5 is confused. Future Afgncaap5 calms down, and sits in a corner.*

Future Afgn-Can I have an S17, please?

A what?

Alien?

*E decides she needs an IWA to calm her nerves...*

*hands over IWA, longs for normality...*

Future Afgn-No, I want an S17.

Present Afgn-Actually, I'd rather have an IWA myself. I'm not in the mood for an S17.

Future-Hey, Afgncaap5, how come you're setting the callibers to positive? Don't do that, just don't.

Present-Why not?

Future-Three overlapping black holes? Think about it.

Present-Ah.

*hands over IWA*
S17 hasn't been invented yet...

*E was amazed...she'd never seen anyone eat a donut so quickly before...*
