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

Wow I check h2 every day and there is a post here and a post there..not much where i usually go...then i go to chicago for 4 days and there are like 80 freaking posts!

Ah, the spirit of backlog!

yeah

it only pops up when you don't have time for it...

I remember once when I had to leave my computer for over two weeks. And it was during the Virtual Election. Backlog, backlog, backlog, and more backlog...

oh, MAN...

I have the same trouble every week - I am always away on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Some threads move very fast and it is hard to keep up.

Ah, yes, it's difficult sometimes. Especially when one has multiple RL identities to juggle. I have to jump from the Atelier to this countdown. From the Cafe to the Draco. It can be very tiring.

That might be part of the reason we aren't seeing a lot of Emar, yet.

Quite possibly. A shame, really. I enjoyed your foil character.

Hang on, let me think for a moment. Emar must be here somewhere. After all, you *are* one of his multiple personalities. Or schizophrenic voices. Or something. I think.

Anyway, since your existence is derived from his own oddly stormy imagination, we must assume that he exists somewhere near by. If he is not in a safe place when the Galaxy is destroyed, it is very possible that you will also cease to exist, Zeb.

Hmmm. I don't know if I should worry about that or not.

Stations, everyone. We have company. Just detected the Mangar, Esirpretne and Millenium Bug. That's all the possible ships the good guys have, except the CLI mini-UFO, but you can bet Affy and GL are aboard one of those ships. They'll be within range of our outer defenses shortly.

The exact relationship between Zeb and Emar has gotten a tad unclear. It is not currently known whether Zeb is dependant on him now or not. Nevertheless, it is generally suspected that Emar is lost somewhere beyond the H2G2 universe at the moment, and SHOULD be protected from any galaxy-demolitions thusly.

What little information there is regarding Emar can be seen at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U139621.

[sea] oy vey. says i. that's also probably why angel and such haven't shown up, and also why evillene makes only occasional appearances. *grin* they only show up when i need them... lol. fun. here comes the good stuff when i have no time for it. *sigh*

Everyone to their rightful posts! This conversation is no longer a link to the QED-I shall post that conversation when the heroes appear, to prevent them from attempting to jump the gun. This conversation may still remain open, however.

Zeb, make sure to tell us any new info on Emar. Never did much to go out of his way to further my evil dreams, but it was nice knowing that he wasn't against me.

This forum should remain as a place to make announcements to everyone - sorta a VR intercom. The space battle has commenced. Tune your viewers to this channel: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F62404?thread=106025&post=888645

This is Minos Krylma. My instruments show me that the heroes have already infiltrated the Ion Ventilation Systems. Be on guard, villains. Every defeat will add fuel to whatever punishments I choose to inflict after this ordeal is over.

<...and this is odd, because he is currently not in the room...>

lol!

Just so everyone knows, the majority of the battle is currently taking place in two places: a dogfight outside, and in the Ion Ventilation Systems. The Ion Ventilation Systems battle may very well quickly move to the Management Department, and then to the Security Systems.

And, as an extra precaution, I am giving the various villains in charge of machinery in their own sectors (for instance, the Neutrino Burst Injector, the Regulation Control Center, etc.) control over fighter droids of their own design in the defense tunnels, to fight along-side the E-100 droids that are already in place there.

Also, I had a virus IRL this past week, which is why there haven't been many posting. Thank you.
