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

*quietly watches peer-bonding between Odra and Styx with satisfaction, seeing that they will work well together*

When does Red's alter-ego come off holiday? I'm going to review my packing, if you don't mind, Ferrari? *Styx scrabbles down over the saddle bags and finds a place conspicuously not too close to Odradek*

Ferrari could do with a browse anyway. We'll be right out back -- give us a shout if we're needed before time. *Lil and Ferrari head out side door*

Oh, one thing *from hallway* --

Affi and Garius, the cleaning bot at the Aroma Cafe has become addicted to the blue fairy dust that Bahb's fairy-ifested saxophone emits. It has got hold of the rest of the punch from Ioreth's going-away party and is slouched in the broom closet, singing to itself. Is there anyway you could do a field service to fix the problem?

And Odra, I tried that email addy you gave, and the email gods returned it as undeliverable. Is it spelled wrong or something?

Ooops, I lost track of this thread in all my election hysteria. Has the bot been fixed yet (I also haven't had time to catch up at the cafe)?

Hi Styx. Glad to have you along.

I'm all packed and ready to go. Brought along a few pots and pans and stuff for Ferrari to carry if that's OK.

Also, I'm now Head of Document Acquisitions (AKA Paper Shuffler) at the Space Farer's Cantina, which means I should be able to procure any documents that might be needed in case we run across some kind of border or customs stop. It was also determined that I needed to have a weapon to serve in that capacity at the Cantina, so I won't be going unarmed on the safari. I've got a couple of very interesting weapons now courtesy of the Armory there.

I got a reputation for death.
*red eyes twinkle*

*hands over small pointy tool*

Here, Garius, I borrowed the Soberbot spray out of the lab and gave the cleaning bot a good snort of it. Not the same as a full service, but it got the bot up and running again, just in time to clean Irv's rooms at the cafe.

Ferrari says when the group is ready to move on, we should just whistle for him. He's going to carry on tanking up on grass while he has the chance.

*decides to supervise Ferrari, scurries off*

Any idea when we'll get started? Cause I'm ready any time!

*scurries back in, eyes glowing with excitement*
Hey! The Cheese has threatened me with death!

~Enters in safari gear, smoking a pipe~


I have returned!

Good to see you Red!

Nice to see you, Red! Now, I think we've got everyone, right? Are we ready?

*looks up, eyes glowing*
Oh yeah.

*Grows impatient* Okay, before anything else comes up, I'm gonna start this safari! *Runs down a corridor with a sign over it. The sign says, "Multi-Dimensional Rift Chamber"* http://www.h2g2.com/F32669?thread=63632

*wanders into lab, from Atelier stairs. Starts hunting around*
Where is it I wonder?
Nope not here. *opens a few cupboards at random*
Nor there. *spies a cannister in the corner and goes over to investigate*
Ah, that's the one. *checks label. Label reads 'Helium'*
Good, save me having to blow up all those baloons by hand.
*leaves a note should the Safari Party return early*

Guys, Lil asked me to pick up the Helium Canister for QMike's Leaving Party. I have taken it up to the Atelier, should you have need of it.
B-17

Better check it works. *opens nozzle and has a quick puff of gas*
hehehe yip it works
*returns upstairs, lugging canister*
