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

[Nerfal] Then how'd anything live on that planet!?

That's the whole point; if the Mouse doesn't like you, it'd probably be a good idea to start thinking of providing for your next of kin...

[Nerfal] Ah.

Who's the mouse? I may be able to help...

*At that point, the customs officers reluctantly admit that there is no further reason to detain the Esirpretne and sign the release papers. They take a final look around, then beam off.*

Okay, now. What galaxy were we going to? It was to indemnity, or something like that, wasn't it? Oh yes, now I remember. To infinity and beyond!

That's a long way!

Not really, there's a button on BB's navigation controls marked "To infinity and beyond".

Right, I'll do my best to explain Wendy's message.

She's infiltrating the stolen starship because the Federation doesn't stop working between series. There were apparently rumours that the rock-buns were up to something so Wendy was the perfect choice. The rumours of her wanting more money for less work are completely unjustified.

Secondly, playing Russian roulette with anti galaxy bombs isn't a good idea, unless of course you are incredibly lucky or incrtedibly stupid.

And the XXX at the end of the message was just a friendly greeting

I thought it was the brand of extra-strong mints she wanted us to buy...?

[YK] Probably not.

[YC] As for the mouse, his name is Mickey.

*finally wakes after a bank holiday stupor which saw him transported to Reading for the weekend *

E'gads... The Pastarans! The Anti-Galaxy Bomb! We have to save the galaxy... no time for (more) idle banter! Chop chop!

And I still need a drink, can't a get some frelling service around here? *something twigs...looks down at 'Barman' badge*

Aaaaaahhhh! *wanders off* If anyone needs me I'll be supping the duty free...cargo bays 4 through 125....

*Manages getting the final crate of booze aboard the Esirpretne*
Okay, all set in the cargo bay...
*The Esirpretne starts moving slowly, it's nose tilting upwards due to the extra weight on board*
And how's about this for an idea: What if one of the anti-galaxy bombs were detonated outside a galaxy? We are at the galactic border... If we detonated it on the other side, it wouldn't work! Damn i'm good!
All we need to do is get the bombs safely...

[Link] Yeah, but what would it do to the ship it's next to?

I'll look into it....

*consults the ships database about anti-galaxy bombs*

[Link reads over Croz's shoulder]

[Link] That's pretty bad ...

Uhm, wasn't there some planet that had asked for our help? It was on our way towards the Galactic Border, I remember... I think we should stop off there and be incredibly dashing and everything. Besides, if they're in this area of space and are having problems, chances are it may be related to the RockBun situation.

Lay in a course, Mr Bluebottle. To Infinity And Beyond (Via A Small Planet)!

All we have to do is find a galaxy we don't like, then test the bombs! If it doesn't work, then we have one working bomb. If it does work, we're rid of a galaxy! Woohoo!

To infinity and beyond!
Shall we take the acid-trip shortcut through the 2001 Monolith labelled "Beyond Infinity"?

*holds his head after going through two cargo bays of duty free*

God no... not the monolith....

[HP}=~~

[YK] This is insane! And so am I!

Okay - to Infinity And Beyond!
The long way....
*Plots course*
Go on, say "Engage"
