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

*Tavaron and Paul are int he kitchen of the tardis, eating dinner - spaghetti. Tarak is with them of course, but he already finished eating.*

* Eli enters the tardis kitchen to get himself a sandwich. *

Hello. How are you?

*Paul looks up from his food*

Hi. Oh... well... quite ok, thanks. What about you? How was the city?

* Eli smiles, gets some bread and cheese from the stasis box and sits down. *

Interesting. Much bigger than I expected. The two other survivors are living there?

*Paul nods*

They are, yes. Anna works there and Adam needs someone who takes care of him.

* Eli swallows a piece of bread before he asnwers. *

I see. What is wrong with him?

*Paul shakes his head*

He just couldn't cope with it all.

* Eli gives Paul a concerned look. *

What do you mean? Is he hospitalised?

*Paul sighs and nods*

I fear yes.

* Eli sighs. *

That's awful.

* Something occurs to him. *

How old are the other survivors? And what was their function on board - if they weren't too young to have one?

*Paul swallows the last of his spaghetti*

Adam is the oldest, 73, he worked as shuttle pilot. Anna is 29, she just finished school. Charlie is 36, he worked on shuttle bay and Raphael is 40 and worked in the engine room.

* Eli nods slowly. *

And you?

*Paul blinks*

Me? I'm 30 and worked as a teacher.

* Eli nods again. *

Would any of the survivors know what cargo the ship was carrying when it was attacked? Or where the cargo list is, if it's still there?

*Paul nods slowly*

Maybe one of the brothers, yes.

*Tavaron, who has been listening until now, yawns and sleepily leans against Paul*

* Eli smiles at Paul. *

Then I guess we should go and talk to them. But not now.

*Paul sleepily smiles at Eli*

Good idea.

*he also yawns*

If you don't mind we'll go to bed now.

* Eli chuckles and smiles at the pair. *

Why would I mind? Sleep well.

*Paul nods sleepily*

Good... now we just have to manage to stand up...

*he remains sitting for another few seconds, then chuckles and pushes himself up, Tavaron follows him. They wish Eli a good night and then leave with Tarak.*

*Kyra enters the kitchen and gets herself a coke. Frankie follows sleepily, but perks up when she sees Eli*

*Kyra drinks half her coke before greeting Eli*

Hey.
