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

It was finished, I got you the 1979 Dr Who Annual - the one that contains a plan of the control column...

*A few telltale warning wisps of smoke drift off of Corrupt...*

So "Crystal Singer" meant "singe", not "sing"?

No, just something (or someONE*coughcough*) is currently annoying her, and this is her final warning sign before she sends someone kaplooey.

So, uh.... yeah. Someone better defuse her, quick.

Don't look at me, I'm not actually here!

Oh, rest assured, it isn't you. Although I had wished it someone besides Corrupt would have to teach the lesson... she's not a very patient teacher. Or much of a teacher at all. More of a 'negative-reinforcement' sort of thing.

Krylmabot-But Happy, we didn't actually need the plans for the Tardis. We needed those three other books.

nobody appreciates initiative

Krylmabot-I do, I do. The thing is, though, we already *have* the plans for a Tardis and many other similar devices. And believe me, if you'd brought this in addition to the other three books, we would've been singin' your praises for going the extra mile. As it is, though, we're still lacking the three primary mission objectives.

*The ground below Happy begins to heat up and boil. Corrupt seems to just be reading her way through the stack of books, but an angry aura radiates off of her.*

*burp*

that tickles [steps to one side]

*sips*

Like I said ... the first time one of my characters foiled villiany by accident and without noticing it.

And it also occurs to me that this is one of the few times when breaking rule 88 in the Evil Overlord List might actually *work* ...

Well, that list is more of a bunch of guidelines, anyway...


Krylmabot-So, Happy, would it be possible, do you think, to head to the library and get those books again? It might not be too late. And at the very least, it'd save you some flaming Corruption.

Guideline 88, then?

It's an option...


*sips*



**

*Sigh*

Yes, Yar. Guideline 88.

heey...

did we ever consider taking on MotMV?

They seem like the perfect allies/competition we have to dismantle.

I think we ended up deciding that their philosophies on continuity (i.e. a lack thereof) were incompatible with ours (i.e. must be accounted for halfway logically).

My Lord, I just was digging around at the old HQ, and I found my initiation posts...

It's weird to realize I've been here 6 1/2 years on and off.

...speaking of, also the perceived seniority it brings
