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

Inkwash? What about the H-bomb?

[Mayhem Security 1] So... are we going to launch the thing or not?

[Mayhem Security 2] Oh, right! I'll get right on i--

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

[Mayhem Security 2] --lunch break! *kpwing*

*Decides to take matters into her own hands before lunch is over, and gets out a radio to determine what frequency the bug is broadcasting over. Also breaks out an MP3 player, puts the headphones over the jar, and puts on Rancid's Indestructible on full blast so the spybot can't hear.*

If I can figure out the frequency, I can interfere with it, and hopefully they'll interpret that as it getting loose again.

*yelling over the noise*

NOW I REALISE WHAT I FORGOT!

* over to the Tower, a heroic plan in mind*

Better hurry, my heroic plan isn't going so well.

*thumps radio. It gives off a shower of sparks and goes silent.*

That's the LAST time I buy electronics at the same store where I get my groceries!

*scratches vest to release smell of radio being mended. Stands hands and legs akimbo looking into the middle distance.*
Yes I'm back. I've been back for some time but the evil amnesia drug makes me forget... *scratches vest to release smell of radio being mended. Stands hands and legs akimbo looking into the middle distance.*
I've been back for some time you know...

Anyway if you click on my name you will see that I have a new space as I seem to be lokced out of my old one. Good one STUMPED, but I'll get you back.

I've redrawn the rules for Hootoo Fish Slapping and we're just recruiting into smaller hit squad type teams. I will post a link to the rules but the teams need to register beforer battle commences so that we know when someone has won and play shorter sharper games. Death to STUMPED.

Yes I'm back. I've been back for some time but the evil amnesia drug makes me forget...

[Mayhem Security 2] Ahh, lunch. Even better than breakfast! But why do I get the distinct feeling that something important just happened?

[Mayhem Security 1] And the H-Bomb?

[Mayhem Security 2] Leave it for now - let's send a small squad of utterly disposable goons to look into the matter first...

[Mayhem Security 1] ...

[Mayhem Security 2] Alright, alright! THEN the H-bomb!




*a black van is noticed outside parked across the street from the main entrance*

*wanders over to van. Stands arms and legs akimbo and speaks to people in van. *
It's the amnesia drug you know...

*The two goons, knit cap'd and sweater'd, in the cab of the van stare wide-eyed at the superhero in disbelief. Then at each other. The one of the left perks up*

[Goon] Err, umm, d-don't mind us, see?

*hasn't yet noticed the goons or the van, and is furiously trying to find a way to keep the spybot from transmitting (short of actually busting it to pieces- that would be too easy). She is now furiously duct-taping tin foil onto the jar, in hopes that it would block some sort of electromagnetic wave.*

If anyone's still here, and still listening, I could sure use some HELP!!!

*Rushes in to assist Scandrea*
*Scratches vest to release calming aroma of camomile and tinfoil.*
What do you want me to do?

*sees all from his vantage point on the tower*

I thought I had a plan for this, but I seem to have forgotten it. I wonder if that drug has been widely administered.

Don't worry, Scandrea and VestBoy, I'll be down in a minute. It takes more than two people to duct-tape a jam jar, as well we know!

*scratches vest to release calming odour of tin foil and camomile*
What was I doing again?

*still up the tower*

Don't ask me.

Where do we sign up to slap ?

Will get you there

OK... think I've.... got it!

*the jar containing the spybot is now under three layers of duct tape and tin foil.*

Now, what can we do with this? Don't we have a research lab somewhere?

Several. I like the one you get into by going through the menswear shop and disppearing through the hidden door in the changing room. But I can't remember where it is. This amnesia drug is a real... something or other.

I'm afraid we closed down the menswear shop during Uncle Heavy's reign when he forced us to downsize. I'm afraid that all that is operational is the Scout Hut

We do have an ACME Big Bumper Kiddie Chemistry Set in a cupboard somewhere ?

*rummages*

Hmmmm. Maybe we could bring A974487 out of mothballs ?

Why not?

*picks up jar containing spybot. The headphones are taped to the jar, and still blaring, although the song has changed to Stand Your Ground. She follows Red Dog to A974487 *

Hopefully, I can do something useful with this thing there. Good to be on the team!
