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

[Metallic voice]

Please move along.

* Looking around in in a stat of deep thought *

[Hilbryk]So why are we here? And where is here?

is their a non Deadalus intention either?

You're the first group to find it. Good job. Important stuff to be found here...

Well Done

*The swell of traffic moves around them. A seedy looking man walks up and tries to sell them switchblades.*

[Man] Pure steel, sir! Only the finest!

*The crowd continues moving at a quick pace. Buisness is good.*

*In an airvent far above Marshal drops down from the surface. The repeller rope flies as he falls, and jerks tight suddenly, leaving him hanging by the groin harness. Marshal always preferred groin harnases, They could hold you vertical.

Upside down, but vertical.

He pulled out a set of magnoculars, set them to bio-electric, and panned around. He spotted a group moving towards his position, and recognised Mystrunners Bio-electric patterns. He put the goggles away, pulled down his Night Vision Helmet to the 'locked' position, and repels toward the street...*

[Hilbryk] Hello

*Marshal drops out infront of the group, and clicks the "return" key on the Repeller kit. The ropes detach from whatever they were holding onto up above, and re-wound themselves rapidly.*
[Marshal] Well, what have we got down here?

*A black shape appears to be running on all fours *down* the walls towards the group. About 30m up it leaps outwards, tucks into a ball and then lands beside the rest of the group.*

*Looks at Marshall*

You could have waited...

*Turns away without waiting for an answer*

So, what have you found?

*Starts removing claw contraptions from his hands*

[Hilbryk]Well it seems to be some sort of underground city...

[Twelve cars behind them is a car with Yar in the front passenger seat and a swarthy man named Cid Halvorsen who bears a passing resemblance to Yar in the driver's seat.]

[Cid] I hate this frickin' traffic!

[Yar] Relax. We'll catch up with 'em ... I guess ...

Now that we've assembled, what happens now?

[Man]Well sah, for the right price, anything can be yours here. WHat do you need?

The UnderGuide...but I'll settle for a shortbread biscuit.

[Man] Ah, a conissure! Weelll... I'd head to the Stravomuler Beta, down past the Cirque De Lune.

Will do...

[Hilbryk] I hear that there is a DI branch around here No flagrent advertising, I swear .

[Yar's car follows.]

Following me or Teeth?
