Bluebottle Started conversation Dec 10, 2001
H2G2 Waterworks has a swimming pool, for all those who enjoy drinking chlorine and the other poolside services. There are
waterslides, wave machines, rapids, fountains, waterguns, showers, hottub, diving boards..! So if you want a swim, and not
at the beach, why not come to the Swimming Pool?

*The Professor zooms in uncontrollably to mark his presence in the thread.*

*But is spotted for once by BB, who, having no-one else to shoot at, decides that he must aim for the Professor*
Take this!

*looks enlightened* but i'm not. i just think the whole thing is interesting, but i like the old names for days of the week, because i can say things like, "it's the day of the thunder-god"

*squirts BB back* 
*their jets of water meet in the middle, spurt out sideways and soak everyone else instead*

*The Professor zooms round some more, at one point straight through the jets of water. The shield, which activated itself for no reason in particular, deflects the water backwards, soaking BB and Ming.*

*Suddenly, someone else teleports into the swimming pool area. It looks like the Professor.*
[PCT4] What ho, everybody! 
*It's PCT4, the Professor's fourth CompliGram, everybody. A clone, if you will.*
**Applause comes from nowhere in particular.**
[PCT4] A clone indeed! I'll have yopu know that I'm a perfectly identical copy of the Professor!
*Sorry.*
[PCT4] I've recieved a message from my counterpart. I gather he's running around in a state of some confusion, and doesn't seem to be able to stop.
*As if to prove this, the real Professor zooms past, knocking his CompliGram into the water.*

*PCT4 leaps out of the water and teleports the stuff away.*
Hmm, I ought to help him.
But first, a drink!

You probably should help him, yes. He is, after all, you... or you are him... or something like that, anyway...

We are exactly the same in every way. Or at least /were/ when I was created. Now, of course, we've grown seperately, so we're slightly different. Apart from that, he does Universally superscede me, in that I can't control his Watch, but he can jolly well control mine.

Ming Mang Posted Dec 11, 2001
Oh, OK. So you are you, in fact. Got it. I think...
So you going to help him?
