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

Announcer? Oh, that's my Watch. If you go to my page, you'll find out about it and my Space Station Computer. Don't worry, it's under my control.
Hmm...
I don't think we should resort to stopping whatever this energy thyingy is doing just yet. I'd better perform some tests on it first...

[rolls his eyes] Given the probable source, I'm inclined to think that ...

...wait, I feel a disturbance in the Force.

[Words to live by: "When a Jedi says something's wrong, pay attention."]

[The two reach halfway up. They are promptly thrown from the mountain by a blast of sand and land on the bottom of the island.]

[BigC lands on him] OUCH! Get off!!

OOfff! Argghhh, ouch. Oh, my...humblest...apologies Sir.
*gets up*
Sorry...
What the Planet of Hell was that?
Watch! Send some probes in to perform immediate tests!
{Affirmative Sir}
*probes promtly head off to the energy source...*

I don't think that's entirely a good idea.

However, if we go up there I think I'll be able to use the Force to get by...

[The probes vaporise in a puff of pink energy]

[I realize what I said wasn't clear.]

...the blast of energy. Shall we go again?

*looks annoyed*
Hmmm, my probes don't like it either. If all my attempts here at ground level fail, I may have to resort to the equipment on the space station...
Yes, lets give it another go shall we?
*begins to walk up again...*

Yes, let's.

[follows him]

[they approach the point where they had been thrown off]

BigC, get ready for a bumpy ride!

[grabs BigC's arm, races forward, maked a running leap, and completely fails to get thrown off a second time. BigC lands next to him]

Whew!

[In front of them they find a sign which says, "Lucky that time."

*looks up from landing*
My thanks to you for that.
Hmmm, well, there appears to be some sentient force acting here. Look at this sign; not only is it in a language we understand, but it also tries to intimidate us!
*saves time position on Watch, so they can return here if anything goes wrong*

Neat trick, that. I wish I could do that on my Gameboy. It'd save a lot of time and patience, that.

Yeah, always helps. The thing is, I can do anything I want! I can do somehin really embarassing, and if I saved my position, I can go back so it never happened!
Right, what to do now?

Um. We're above halfway-up. Let's keep going.

[keeps going]

OK then...
*continues upwards*
*After a while, they begin to get close to the ebergy ball*
My word, what a fantastical display!

Nice.

Wait, I think something else is happening...

[A giant beast made of sand emerges from the side of the mountain and starts stomping down at them. Whenever one of them moves, it goes for them.]
