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

We have, as of 1/26/02, any candy you can imagine, some beer, cheap souvenier toys, t-shirts in any size imaginable, and a full stock of uniforms: red, blue, white, yellow, purple, green, etc, of all ranks. We also have:
3 plasma cannons
10 laser blasters
2 flea-collar reversers (NO ACF!)
7 ion cannons
3 plasma rifles
5 laser rifles
1 ion rifle
demolitions compound, about 50 lbs.
a large stock of conventional projectile weapons

2 personal star yachts
1 shuttle (all abandoned here)

space suits
25 hydroponics kits
4 hyperdrive generators
any parts needed to get a spacecraft off the station and into a better-equipped system.

Nice shop you have here, whats the price of a Personal Star Yacht? I'bve been meaning to get a starship for a while now.

Actually I dredged up two more from the hanger. Cheapskate teasers. Anyway, the going rate is 500c+ 10 creds/m. The smallest we have is 100m. So that's 10500 creds. But that includes a new paint job and furniture, and overhaul if needed. Weapons are extra, although all three carry light armament.

100 meters? Sounds good. Do you think that you could fit it with a cloaking device and a plasma cannon? I'll tinker with the engine myself.

Well, we'll get working on that. Since that cloaking device is going to COST you, I'll throw in a needlejet torpedoe battery free. Your total comes to 1.2million credits.

*whispers to venom*
Good deal, I suppose you know that ArmsTech have just halved thier cloking device proces to thier suppliers, heh? and no, I don't want one.

*to all*
Cool, is that a cloaker Fred? Can I have a look? I suppose I'll have to stick with my home-made forceshield .

Thanks Axe, I liked the idea of them. Of course I'll have to borrow from some cash. But the cloaking device will make it a lot easier to hide afterwards .

*Hands over the cash, then gets a strange feeling that I've been conned.*

Pleasure doing bussiness with you Venom.

*winks back*

I've got a sneaking suspicion that Venom's been grounded or something.

*to self*
lol

[bookmark]

Pleasure doin' business with you, too, Fred. Your ship is sitting in docking bay 532. Use this security code. *slips him a piece of paper*

[to Axe] You did remember to take the price sticker off that cloaking device, right?

*waits for Fred to leave and then teleports out to bay 532 to remove the sticker*

You think I'd make a mistake like that?

Err...

*gets out his matter transfer beam and lifts the sticker from the stealth gen while Fred isn't looking*

Thankyou very much, it's very considerate of you to remove the price tags for me.

My pleasure!

*the tag ends up wrapped up in CV's towel*

*conveniently remembers that his towel is dirty, and so he throw it into the quick-zap insta-washer* *it comes out sans-sitcker* Gotta love a warm towel.

Yeah, I'd forgot about that...

*throws in his towel too*

*shudders to think what things were wrapped in Axe's towel*

There wasn't anything wrapped in my towel.

*continues shuddering, knowing now that those things needed to be hidden from him*

*takes out his towel and opens it up. Shows CV both sides of it. They're both empty and completly white.*

See, nothing.

Alright, but my security cams have their eye on you...
