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

*The Hangar, due to the varied range of races of alien that are permitted to enter, features many of the strangest types of spaceship. One could see fewer types of spaceship in a major metropolitan planet over the course of a lifetime. Surprisingly, there is still plenty of parking available*

Must be cuz they all scarpered when they heard the fighting.

*A ship is not seen entering the hangar, because it is cloaked, using the quilted Tea Cosy of Invisibility.*

Nah. It's just Spring Break.

Sorry, symlpost.


*KL looks out the window to see his old, run down, two-person ship landing, losing the Cloak's influence*

KL-I've just sent the message about the ship via eMail. I told 'em that I'd developed a teleporter that can send it past their securities. And I've left the key in it so that they can use it. We're ready to go now. You know the way to Earth from here?

Yeah, it's over there. *points*

Oreo, you want to take this thing out again. I was always crap at backing up. My brother, Han, used to laugh at me when Dad was teaching us to drive.

Ar ar ar ar ar.

SLR-I can back out! Lemme back out!

KL-I don't recommend that.

[tries to remember what SLR stands for]

Stupid Little Robot. He's the Robot from the Andromeda Way Prison, who was locked into the same cell block as NYC. His only power seems to be sheer dumb luck (which is actually what his power is, but I've never gotten around to explaining his backstory yet).

Ah, of course. Sounds like fun to have around.

Especially for an ever-angry guy like Minos.

*Anti-Affy5 walks through the revolving door, whistling merrily. He looks around for a suitable ride, and his eyes stop at a small two-seater*

AA5-Nice. Won't go too far, but it'll do for now.

Or for an ever-angry guy like NYC.

*Notices some people enter the hangar as Oreo backs out.*

Hey, it looks like your ship has attracted some interest already. It didn't look THAT great to me.

Oreo: Okay, Burf, we're out. You want to take it from here?

Burford: It's "Burford", and yes, I do want to take it.

*Turns the ship around and hits the after-steepers.*

*KL takes an inquisitive glance outside and his jaw drops*

KL-THAT'S AFGNCAAP5!!!

[Strong Bad] Holy crap!

[The Cheat] [unintelligible noises]

[Strong Bad] Of COURSE I frickin' knew what he's supposed to look like!

*A blocky spacecraft pulls in next to Krylma's ship and parks neatly. A flying saucer soon follows, rear-ending Krylma's ship and loop-da-looping around the general vicinity before parking on the other side of the blocky ship.*

*Out of the flying saucer stumbles a very dazed and confused looking Kudos. From the other ship comes Rai, who looks very determined about something and is watching his Luo Pan rather than where he's going.*

[Yar slips in, using some Jedi stealth techniques to look unobtrusive, despite looking like a black-haired version of Vash the Stampede in his current outfit. Well, okay, maybe more like a spiky-haired version of Neo in red. Uh ... his stealth techniques work, okay!? ]

Oh, excellent use of allowing us to determine the effectiveness of your tactics on us, Yar. A meritorious example if ever there was one.


*AA5 blinks a few times as he notices the two-seater that he was about to steal has suddenly been very beat-up by two new vessels. He considers destroying them for a moment before remembering that eventually NYC or Yar or Corrupt or someone will show up and try to stop him. He angrily opens the hatch, enters, finds the control room, and powers up this new vessel*

AA5-Think I'll head to Vorticon VI. A Tantalus Ray could be very, very easily modified for my uses....

*KL's jaw has practically unhinged itself by now*

KL-I can't believe it....Afgncaap5, YK, and Kudos....if Garius Lupus, Uncle Heavy, Amy The Ant and Asteroid Lil were here, then that'd be a complete set of enemies. As it is,....Earth is practically mine for the taking! BURFORD! We need to get to Earth ASAP!
