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

[Loiosh]: <<>>

[Razor]: "I'm no expert in these kinds of matters. I think it would be best we go find or see where the Doctor is at. She is one of more temporal and time as well as improbability knowledge than myself. Say, if we did run into our other selves... assuming they were still separated... I don't think either of them would notice much (seeing as how physical they might still be 'plugged in')."

*shrugs about that last part*

[Loiosh]: <<>>
You might want to see if see is still playing.</>

: *Nod*

"...Um, main cargo area - last time I had checked."
*Is not sure*

[Loiosh]: *attempts to fly and falls to the floor*
<<>>

[Razor]: "Aargh... Hang on. Just a moment now,"
*Addresses a little input-speaker*

"Computer, send in a service robot with a small jetpack; tell it to be set to outfit."

*The computer speaks back but in a kind of scrambled voice*

"I wonder if that will even still work. Didn't sound so good."
...
*Pause*
...
*Waiting*

Finally a door clicks open.

*A little metal mechanical-man with wheeled feet whisks in and is carrying something for hovering.*
It sounds kind of scrambled too.

[Loiosh]: <<>>
*makes a very forced leap into the air and begins to fly with quick strong strokes. He lands on Razor's shoulder and loosely wraps his tail around his neck*

[Razor]: "This robot may not be able to speak clearly Loiosh, but I think he could fit a device for hovering on your back."

[Loiosh]: <<>>
*clumsily glides to the robot*

[Razor]: *Pauses trying to remember*
"Um, one or two generations I think. It was already used when we first got it. Seems that each owner modified it or added some things to it as it cycled through the various hands."

*Shrugs*

*The robot chatters a bit but attaches the hovering device with a minimum of fuss.*

[Loiosh]: *looks at Razor in disblief*
<<>>

[Razor Ecg]: "Sometimes the previous owners would erase their logs. Evidence of what they were like might be taken from some of the modifications that each of them made, maybe."

*Goes into an equipment room and grabs a charger pack.*

*Leaves the door open*

[Loiosh]: <<>

[Razor]: <<>> he replies while stroking his chin.

[Loiosh]: <<>>

[Razor]: "Oh."

[Loiosh]: <<>>

[Razor]: *Points out the/a kitchen galley*
