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

*whispers to E*
E, are you sure you want to go back in time? I can use my transport yes, but it's under trials for other humans...
I can of course change settings on it so that we can only change certain things in the past, so that my space station won't have never existed...
But...I dunno...you really want to go back in time?
We'll have to start a new forum for this one...

*whispers*

Of course..come on..it'll be fun!

It was fun when....you know.....

Hmm...have to have a way of still being here at the same time though...

I'm sure you'll know a way of doing that...

...and new forum?? Oh Joy!!!

Certainly!
Hmmm, I can't bring the time machine out here...I'll have to take you all into the Primary Labs, which only I'm allowed into...

...

OK, but just this once...

*her eyes light up at the prospect of going back in Time *

Yay!!

Don't worry...you know I won't touch anything...

Good...
Anything that happens will be under my strict control.
I'm preparing some strict safety precautions so we can enter the Primary Labs. I'm sealing all access pots so no one can see what I work on.

Ports, even.

Well...if you really felt the need, you could always blindfold everyone who comes on the trip...

...of course...i suppose you'll have worked out a way of being able to stay in the Great Hall to serve passers-by whilst being there still...?

even if it's just an interactive hologram for the time being...

Oh, that's the easy bit...
*realises he was speaking out loud for the past few posts*
Erm...

Don't panic...

*clicks her fingers & plate of cheesy biscuits appears which she offers to everyone...and cheesy biscuits being irresistable, everyone in the Hall takes one*

*whispers so that only BigC can hear*

don't eat it unless you want to forget the last few posts...they'll still remember about going into the Past & the party though..so no harm done.... Just something I picked up at the cantina...

It'll never be used again, I assure you...

*whispers*
Hmmm, good.
I can't jus blindfold them you know. That won't work...
I'm going to have to think of something else...
I don't dare do anything to their minds because I don't know what the outcome will be when they use the TM...

*looks at Watch*
Hey, I gotta go and, erm, do, stuff...erm...
Yeah, I'm outta here!
Back later!
*runs out and enters a door to a restricted corridor.*

*watches & waits, offering people more cheesy biscuits until the new forum starts off..*

*Peels himself off the floor with a sound like Velcro(TM)*

I feel better for that! Any more of that wine going, E?

*runs in*
You'll have to wait until tomorrow until I can get you back in time.
But no worries...we'll do it...
*runs back to Primary Labs*

*clicks her fingers & another bottle appears next to Peet along with a glass...*

It definitely looks like it..

Thanx!

It's a pleasure..

Cheesy biscuits to go with it?

Don't mind if I do

*smiles & hands over some more cheesy biscuits*

*walks back in from the labs*
ho hum, waiting for a party that has already happened to happen, I think it's going to get even more confusing when we get there, could I get a Gin and Tonic? I might need a good drink for this
